Whats good for Iran, is good for Syria, is good for Sudan, is good for Indonesia. That will change the balance of power and thats the point of the supply chain. The hub strategy. Sound familiar?
2. Assad looks like a stork
Jacob ,   DC   (05.16.06)
The next major war in this region will have a totally different look. It's a scary thought, that these Insane, backward-ass countries could just press a button, and down goes Tel-Aviv.
3. Syrian Nuclear Technology
Joe Simon ,   Kfar Aviv, Israel   (05.16.06)
Wonderfui. Another madman with nuclear weapons
4. Proliferator of WMD
Brod ,   Marshall, USA   (05.17.06)
Proliferaters of WMD should be regarded as terrorist mass murderers. Ergo, the Interpol and other Intelligence Agencies should hunt them down and eliminate them.
5. More Arab/Muslim countries should get nuclear tech
Muhammad-Ali ,   Montreal   (05.17.06)
6.  What else is new? Perhaps.....
Tal ,   Israel   (05.17.06)
these are the WMD taken out of Iraq in large convoys at the start of the Iraq war. BTW: Ones made in the US for IRAQ years ago. ...which is why the US who knows damn well there were weapons and where they went to are KEEPING THEIR MOUTHS SHUT ABOUT IT. How easy it is to lay the blame on a covert Pakistani supplier with no name. LOL! Remember the US is good at this bait and switch. As an example: Blame terror on Hamas and Islamic Jihad when more terror attacks came from the party of Arafat/Abbas better known as Fatah al-Aqsa. Rather than go right to the source for reasons we are all aware of they just switch the devil to another devil. This way the money can flow and the Palestinians can continue being legitimized. (scratching head)
7. Just part of the network
Randy ,   Texas   (05.17.06)
Saddam cooperated with terrorist and also had connections with Libya which freaked out when we went into Iraq and opened up there programs fearing it would all come out. Syria is another one and has Iraqs WMD's which were moved there in 2002-2003.
8. Oh please, Tal
sk ,   USA   (05.17.06)
If the US knew where the weapons were, we'd have them up for public inspection after the war. Stick to conspiracy theories about Israel. THEY are almost certainly right.
9. While nuking Iran, add some for Syria. Good riddance x 2.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica, CA   (05.17.06)
10. Didn't Pakistan came clean about this?
D- ,   San Diego, USA   (05.17.06)
As a reader of news, I must say that I am wholly dissapointed in the press coverage of the Khan network. We need the press to expose a great deal more about what is and is not known about the Khan network.
11. khan network?
Joy Springreen   (05.17.06)
http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/world/pakistan/khan.htm Is this the Khan Network?
12. #5 - Muhammad-Ali
Scott ,   Haifa   (05.17.06)
I'm curious Muhammad? Why? Is it for defense? Who is attacking them?

Your desire to "nuke" Iran and add some for Syria, followed by the words "good riddance" obviously indicates that you are about 9 years of age, that you hold human life in total contempt, that war is something of a joke for you and that you are in serious need of psychological help to get over your desire to see hundreds of thousands of souls incinerated. You are obviously not Jewish - as the shadow of the holocaust would restrain you from uttering such incalculably awful things. The level of your debate is that of a thug in a pub and not that of a rational human being with a shred of humanity. I'm ashamed I read your comment.
14. so that makes Syria next...
lynne   (05.17.06)
after Iraq.. I think we've already heard enough of that .. Everybody has nuclear power now.. and its a sin ..Muslim countries should be threatened every day , their lands must be occupied .. while they stand there and thank America and Israel for destructing their countries with American and Israeli nuclear weapons!! Every other day the US looks for new reasons to attack Syria and Iran.. talk about terrorism..
15. #14 Lynne, who brainwashes you???
DR ,   Florida, USA   (05.17.06)
The crap you post on here sounds so ridiculous, you must have been raised to think this way. There is no way you are educated and free thinking and still think that the US and Israel are the bad guys in the world. Syria has been known to kill thousands of its own people (Hama) read about it. Saddam Hussein killed hundreds of thousands of Iranians and Kurds...great guy, right? You are so delusional about who is good and bad, it's really sad.

yakov shani ,   Israel   (05.18.06)
you are talking to a brainless robot, stop wasting your time, it ain't worth the agravation.
17. You dont give nukes
Joy Springreen   (05.18.06)
to an internationally renown and outspoken jew hater. end of discussion
18. DR
lynne   (05.18.06)
I dont see why you have to always twist everything I say to suit your ideas.. I dont think I ever said that Saddam Hussien was a man of peace. I do know about Hamma .. I think I talked about one specific point and it's the fact that Israel and the US have every right to develop nuclear energy while any other country is forbidden to do that.. Syria, Iran or Iraq havent destroyed a whole city the way America has done .. What do you call what the US had done to Hiroshema in Japan?? at least what Al Assad or Saddam Hussien did was within their borders.. who is brainwashed??
19. freedom of speech...!!
lynne   (05.18.06)
by the way if you think that you have democracy than you have a serious problem.. whenever I state an incident which accuses Israel its not posted...
20. #18, Lynne
DR ,   Florida, USA   (05.18.06)
I am not sure where you live, but I am sure that your education does not give you the whole story or true facts about what really happens. If you read about Hama, you will find that the syrian president killed tens of thousands of his own people and Saddam did the same. The US only attacked Japan b/c of Pearl Harbor...again you need to read and learn. Japan attacked the US for no reason and the US retaliated. The world needs to learn from history and not let idiota like Assad and Ahmadinejad repeat it. The US is the leader of this free world...whether you like it or not. That's why they can have nukes. Israel has nukes b/c it is surrounded by Arab and Muslim countries that want to destroy it... no one denys this fact. Iran and Syria are not threatened by anyone, so why give them nukes??? You need to think about this before you post you ideas.
21. #20...DR...
lynne   (05.18.06)
I am well aware of what happened in Hamma and I am not defending Assad or Saddam or anyone else .. I am well aware of those incidents anyway, I'm very surprised at the way you see things.. I dont see how could you see that a country destructing part of another country (using nuclear weapons) , killing thousands of people while who were lucky enough not to die are until this day suffering from the results of nuclear weapons through the mutations their children have suffered .. all that was because Japan attacked Pearl Harbour!! Yes the world needs to learn from history .. does a leader country have the right to destruct other countries?? does being a leader country give the USA the right to mess around with other independent coutries ?? "Israel wants to defend itself from other Arab and Muslim countries threatening it.".. what about the continuous US and Israeli threats to Syria and Iran?? we hear this every hour of the day .. what about the US attack on Iraq?? threats were not enough to Iraq .. Saddam did kill the Iraqis but what did the US do?? It destroyed Iraq ,people are killed every day.. at least when Saddam was there they had a country.. they had a normal everyday life .. the museums werent robbed... do you know that the only ministry that was guarded by American troops and not robbed was the ministry of oil and natural gas?? Is that a coincidence?? I think its quiet clear who is threatening who... I dont think I'm the one who's not given the whole story through my education..
22. Israels Nukes are no offensive
Joy Springreen   (05.19.06)
Thats what the army, air force and navy are. The offensive component. The nukes are the DEfensive strategy. There is a qualitative difference in the 2. Iran and Syria want to use it as an OFFensive weapon and have stated such. While Israel, keeps ambiguity as to its capability and threatens no-one. BIG DIFFERENCE
23. #22, Joy Springreen..
lynne   (05.19.06)
When did Iran and Syria state that they are going to use nuclear weapons against Israel?? they didnt even state that they have developed any!! Do not imagine facts....please..
