1. You have nothing to hide because Israel wiped it out! LOL
Yonatan ,   USA   (04.25.08)
2. Syria and it " not a nuke plant" plant.
Bob ,   Ft Mill, SC, USA   (04.25.08)
If it was not a nuke plant then why did they clear it all away so quickly. We could have believed Syrian statements that it was not a nuke plant had they... 1. Not cleared it away, it is out in the middle of no wheresville! 2. Had they called in the IAEA the next day to accomplish an onsite inspection of the facility. 3. Called in the UN inspectors to verify if was not a nuke plant or any other illegal activity... Unfortunately Sryia did none of the above so we all must consider it a nuke plant and say RIGHT ON ISRAEL! Now get'er done in Iran!
3. Dirty bombs
Tom ,   usa   (04.25.08)
It was probably not real nukes but dirty bombs that could be carried in a suitcase and using ordinary explosives contaminate a whole city and make it unlivable.
4. Their attempt at covering this up is pathetic.
Scott ,   NY, USA   (04.25.08)
The Syrians were defeated again... and who do they blame? The US and Israel. The Syrian envoy is nothing but a bad stand up comic... tripping over his own words trying to convince the audience that he is the all knowing in this situation. Anyone who believes that this was not a reactor should look at EVERY other source, or has intense biases towards America and or Israel.
5. ElBaradei Loves Terrorists
Dan Wolfe ,   Titusville, FL USA   (04.25.08)
How is it that ElBaradei criticizes Israel and the United States but NEVER North Korea, Iran and Syria. He thinks that HE is in charge but he is another UN demagogue. Maybe he really wants to see Tel Aviv & New York nuked?
6. USA and Israel destroyed the "evidences"
A watcher ,   Canada   (04.25.08)
if Americans and Israelies think that was a nuclear facility why did they destroy it??? ...sorry guys I'm not convinced..I think it's another case of WMD "weapon of mass deception"
7. What possibly could there be
Red Temple ,   White Mtns.   (04.25.08)
anything to be afraid of?
8. evidence
(04.25.08)
even with evidence they keep liying. unbelievable.
9. #1 Iran will wipe out military position under construction
(04.25.08)
10. The Syrians Even Lie About Lying!
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville, USA   (04.25.08)
Give us all a break! Assad and his cronies must think we are all dumb as he is. The Iranians and Syrians deserve each other.
11. Assad has been caught in a LIE
Jake   (04.26.08)
''Is it logical for a nuclear site to be left without protection and not guarded by anti-aircraft guns?'' But immediately after the incident in question, the Syrian government announced that Syrian anti-aircraft artillery in the area had been fired at Israeli warplanes, causing the planes to drop their ordinance and fuel tanks and flee. Remember, Bashar?
12. #6, no Syria destroyed the evidence, not Israel
Jake   (04.26.08)
When Israel was done bombing the site, it looked like this, badly damaged, yet recognizable: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Syrian_Reactor_Before_After.jpg But once Syria was finished "clearing the area", it was as smoothe as an ice skating rink http://www.ogleearth.com/syriaafter.jpg
13. Assad's head will explode if he doesn't empty the lies in it
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica,CA USA   (04.26.08)
14. To Dan Wolfe:: Syria, Iran and Obama
Dave Levy ,   Burbank. CAUSA   (04.26.08)
To Dan Wolfe: Of course this Egyptian in sheep's clothing, wants NY and Tel Aviv bombed, with it's large population of we Jews. This guy finally discoved Iraq's and Iran's nuclear intentions..after a few brave souls informed US. The Arab middle name is lie, lie and more lies. From their refusal to accept the partition plan (invaded Israel), to the 67 and 73 wars (broke the negotiated cease fires), to the Intifadas (so-called "Occupation" of Palestine-what Palestine?), it's one lie after another. And, with Carter, Baker and Buchanan, what do they really lose..just some time. Had Israel NOT bombed the Iraqi reactor, we today might have witnessed far worse than than 911..which the Muslims say Israel caused. Bottom line: Israel MUST ASAP take out Iran's 30 nuke sites..with aid from US. But with Obama in charge, look for Bin Ladin's thugs on OUR streets, not our boys on theirs. Rememeber Obamas' real roots.. it tells it all about him.
15. Ladies and gentlement, I would like to thank...
Persian CAT   (04.26.08)
George Lucas for this fine production. The reason why this took as long as it did is LucasArts.com was busy to Unleash the Force on time. Now the that "Israel-Says-It-Bombed-Nukes-Plant" will come to a theater near you courtesy of Bush-Cheney-Olmert junta.
16. #6 a watcher should have eyes open
jerome ,   basalt, co   (04.26.08)
yours are shut, and your mind is closed with all the evidende that is in front of your nose. You are the decived one!!!
17. US and Israeli Intelligence Certainly Have No Crediblity
Johan Odin ,   Oslo, Norway   (04.26.08)
After the lies the US and Israel spread about Iraq, they certainly have no credibility in the world, so it is very likely that the so-called evidence is fabricated just like the "evidence" they tried to sell about Iraq was. As the old saying goes; “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me”. The world should be very skeptical about anything the US or Israel claims given their track record of lying, so until they can prove their claims without a shadow of doubt, the world should presume the photos to be PhotoShop fakes and the film to be produced by a Hollywood special effects firm.
18. Syria correct.Construction 4a nuke fueled tomato factory lol
KMR ,   Overseas   (04.26.08)
19. Not fabricated; it took 7 months hard work
observer   (04.26.08)
20. We all know what really happened...
Juan ,   Spain   (04.26.08)
...because Syria told us at the time: Israel bombed a piece of desert and left a crater for absolutely no reason. Syria appear to tell lies - big ones.
21. The evidence
Said ,   London,UK   (04.26.08)
The real problem is that both administrations are proven liars - so who do we trust? The devil we know, or the retiring devil?
22. Well they would wouldn't they?
Sheila ,   Jerusalem Israel   (04.26.08)
23. to num 6
ben   (04.26.08)
you need to look into yourself and never consider to be a lawer. israel bombed the site because it didnt want to take chances on nuclear materials sent to hizballa that could trigger nuclear war. hassan nassrala said " we have a weapon that will change the entire middle east then the world" i wonder what that can be.
24. QUESTIONS : conspiracy stories ??
Moshe Israel ,   k.yuval   (04.26.08)
to those with "conspiracy stories ?? " : WHY do satellite photos show that the Syrians leveled the "unused facility" then build another building over the the site of the bombed "unused facility " ? Can the Syrians explain WHY the "unused facility" has a new immediately building erected on the site of the destroyed building ? Moshe Israel
25. Also Fabricated: Its Destruction By Israel!
David ,   Marietta USA   (04.26.08)
Soon to be fabricated: Israeli destruction of the fabricated Iranian nuclear facility.
26. Important Lesson
RUbe Vogel ,   Jerusalem   (05.02.08)
The ability of the Syrian President to lie without shame when he is caught red-handed is a vitally important lesson to anyone thinking of making a peace treaty with this guy. "Olmert! You listening?"
