Additional info on Syria's nuclear program
By Olivier Guitta

I just wrote a piece for The Examiner expanding on my recent post on the state of Syria's nuclear program.
Here's an excerpt; you can read the whole article here.:

WASHINGTON - The Iraq Survey Group is calling for open negotiations with Syria, but new reports show that Damascus is up to no good. Indeed, while world attention is rightly focused on the nuclear capabilities of Iran and North Korea, Syria has been quietly — but quickly — advancing its own secret nuclear program.

The first signs appeared in 2003 when the Russian Foreign Ministry inadvertently revealed that a Russian-Syrian agreement for the delivery of a nuclear power plant in an undisclosed Syrian location had been signed.

In 2004, Syrian President Bashar Assad made a point to say that Syria would not dispose of its WMD program until Israel did the same. “Since some of my country is occupied,” Assad added, “Syria can legitimately use all the necessary means to liberate its territories.”

German magazine Der Spiegel revealed in March 2004 that Swedish authorities and the CIA were investigating a very likely Syrian nuclear program secretly developed in Homs in the northern part of the country. That July, investigators looking into the Pakistani nuclear network of A.Q. Khan pointed out that Syria may have procured centrifuges capable of enriching uranium to produce a bomb.

This fact was confirmed in May 2006 in a declassified report to the U.S. Congress on the acquisition of technology relating to weapons of mass destruction. Before the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Syria also got help from Saddam Hussein’s regime

Anche la Siria, ma basta , anche se comunque se si mettono a fare una cosa del genere sono un pò stupidi nella loro posizione, non hanno mica del petrolio da tenere in ostaggio, se provano a fare una cosa del genere gli salteranno addosso senza problemi e senza pensarci due volte, io se fossi in loro lascerei che Teheran rischi il sedere per me e dopo mi limiterei a comprare qualche atomica di nascosto dagli iraniani una volta che avranno finito il loro programma.

Se proavano a fare una cosa del genere gli israeliani vanno a Damasco in direttissima.
