The Times of London is owned by Rupert Murdoch, SMG.

Same guy who owns Fox News.

After all, it is easier to do that than to actually address when this started. Iran did not just suddenly decide to do this, it has been going on since before Bush was in office. Same with North Korea, and hell, Albright was over there playing Dancing with the Krazy and passing out MJ autogrpahs rather than worrying about the nukes. Now, they are all atwitter at the mere thought that these people may help out Syria. Only in the minds of the perpetually dense, and consistently wrong.

"Prove" Iraq wasn't just about the oil. Assad is gonna be around long after Bush and Olmert have left office to hit the neocon welfare line. He and the other neocon bogeymen are just playing a waiting game at this point, I think. Haha,

The Left, Dems, Europe, various NGOs and so on and ESPECIALLY the press have been completely silent on Irsael's raid. So silent. Why? They are all AFRAID of what might be revealed. Proof their God of PC-Multiculturalism being dead. Ala NK-Syrian connections on something [could be nukes, could be missiles, could something else.] Dems in particular have bet it all on "negotiations" with all carrot no sticks. Disaster if it's shown up to be a hollow fantasy by say, NK missile tech with Iranian co-involvement in Syria. 2. Syria has been silent, not taking the issue to the UN, or calling for help from fellow Arab states. [They are afraid clearly of too much attention.] 3. NOTHING on the Arab street. No Israeli flags burned, no demands for jihad, no raging "Rage Boys" screaming for the cameras. [Arabs and their governments fear Syria-Iran and the Iranian Shia menace more than Israel which fundamentally is NOT a threat to them. Israel has less than six million people, most of them middle class people who'd rather be on the beach than in uniform. Iran has more than 70 million and has ambitions to rule the ME.] 4. No Syrian propaganda efforts of pictures of the site, with toys or kids shoes placed artfully at the site. [Again they do not WANT scrutiny of what was at the site that was hit. They are afraid of secrets spilling out -- nukes of course that could hit Israel can also hit Amman or Cairo or Riyadh.] 5. State and CIA have shut their leaks, and they leak like sieves ... so something is up. [Both are invested in "negotiations" and anything that threatens this must be supressed. Careers and such are on the line.] 6. Israel has said very little. Same for Turkey. You'd expect the Islamist Turkish government to be on the warpath against it's military, but nada. [Suggesting overriding national interests are stake.] [Not unrelated, FRANCE is saying the EU must "prepare for war" with Iran if negotiations fail to stop it's nuke program. Why FRANCE taking this position? Clearly Iran must have threatened them as the Muslims protectors in France, intolerable with with nukes of course.] 7. Bush has said NOTHING about Iran or the Syrian-North Korean nuke connection, the raid, or anything else. [Clearly his Admin wants no part of the problem, preferring to kick the can down the road to the next President.] SMG is right here are the dogs that did not bark:
