Raw Story: Israel did not hit a Syrian nuclear site
Based on reports from "current and former intelligence officials," the Raw Story is reporting tonight that Israel did not hit a nuclear weapons site in Syria three weeks ago. The site says that "what the Syrians actually had were North Korean No-Dong missiles, possibly located at a site in either the city of Musalmiya in the northern part of Syria or further south around the city of Hama."But guess what they think it is:
Vincent Cannistraro, Director of Intelligence Programs for the National Security Council under President Ronald Reagan and Chief of Operations at the Central Intelligence Agency's Counterterrorism Center under President George H. W. Bush, said Sunday that what the Israelis hit was "absolutely not a nuclear weapons facility."That's funny. I said that."Syria has a small nuclear research facility and has had it for several years," Cannistraro said. "It is not capable of enriching uranium to weapons capability levels. Some Israelis speculated that the Syrians had succeeded in doing just that, but according to the US intelligence experts that is simply not true."
But "Syria has a chemical weapons capability and has been trying to chemically weaponize war heads on their existing stocks of North Korean originated missiles," Cannistraro added.

I don't know, but there've been other reports of North Koreans and chemicals this week--specifically, concentration camps gassing people:

The reports are so outrageous, but they're coming from the long-established and respected Open Doors ministry, so I don't know.
Orde, I just read it. I've read similar (and even worse) articles about the North Korean concentration camp network. They may seem unbelievable but who in say, 1942, would have believed articles about the Nazi concentration camps? Or articles in the late 30's and WW2, about the Japanese atrocities in China? Or in the 70s, about the Cambodian killing fields?
Normal, decent people living normal decent lives have trouble mentally and emotionally grasping the reality of evil existing on such a depth and scale.
I think the North Korean stories are true and that it probably makes North Korea today the most evil and blood-soaked dictatorship on earth. And I don't know what anyone can do for those poor people but remember them in their prayers.
