TWO PLUS TWO: Syria Trades Farm Products For N.Korean Missles, Israel Seizes Syrian Nuclear Material

by Little Baby Ginn & Mondoreb

Bashar al-Assad had a farm, EIEIO..

What happens when you mix nuclear material and missiles? You get a existential threat to the state of Israel.

From ABC News
A report says North Korea has trained Syrian missile engineers and the Arab nation has bartered farm products and computers for missiles from the Stalinist state. Syria has shipped cotton, food and computers to North Korea in return for buying short-range missiles, the report said.

From the London Times:
Israeli commandos seized nuclear material of North Korean origin during a daring raid on a secret military site in Syria before Israel bombed it this month, according to informed sources in Washington and Jerusalem.

The attack was launched with American approval on September 6 after Washington was shown evidence the material was nuclear related, the well-placed sources say.

So you had Syrian nuclear materials seized by Israeli commandoes and Syrian missiles from North Korea. Sounds like another case of North Korea being a good little world citizen like it's been declaring lately. And the same old Syrian shuffle.

"We're not terrorists. We're not a terrorist state. We're just good ol' boys down on the Assad terrorist farm."

ISRAEL DECLARES GAZA AN ENEMY ENTITY-It's About Time

by Mondoreb

In a report from 22 minutes prior to this posting, Israel Cabinet ministers declared Gaza an "enemy entity". Now, both parties in the Middle Eastern deathmatch don't refer to the other by name.

It's the Zionist Entity Vs. the Enemy Entity!
Just exactly what do you have to do to be declared a "really bad enemy" or a "superduper enemy" or just a plain "enemy"?

The move must have Palestinians shaking their heads in wonderment. There they are: slaving over a hot suicide bomb-making machine all day--and this is the thanks they get? They are only an "enemy entity" to the "Zionist entity"?

JERUSALEM - Top Israeli Cabinet ministers declared the Gaza Strip an "enemy entity" on Wednesday, a move likely to cloud Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's visit to the region on a peacemaking mission.

The decision paved the way to cutting off vital supplies of electricity, water and fuel to the coastal territory.

This story should be a hot one. Rice will visit. The Palestinians will blow things up to attract attention. The Israelis will be disproportionate, even if they do nothing. And the Left will condemn Israel.

N. KOREA DENIES ANY NUCLEAR HELP TO SYRIA "And we never lie..."

by Mondoreb
The world is increasingly relying upon Israel to keep nuclear materials out of the hands of rogue regimes in the Middle East.
North Korea has denied suppying nuclear materials to Syria. An alleged Israeli bombing attack against Syrian targets was rumored to be for destroying nuclear materials.

North Korea's Foreign Ministry said the country has upheld a pledge made last October, when it conducted its first-ever nuclear test, that it would be "a responsible nuclear weapons state" and not transfer any nuclear material out of the country.

The North "never makes an empty talk but always tells truth," the ministry said in the statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.

And the world knows how responsible the North Koreans are. They never lie and always tell the truth.

IRAN SEEKS TO HOLD ISRAEL HOSTAGE: 600 Missles Pointed at Israelis

by Mondoreb

Missiles being launched at Israelis is nothing new.

However, yesterday's Jerusalem Post: Online had an article detailing a different threat: different rockets, different foe.

Six hundred Iranian Shihab-3 missiles are pointed at targets throughout Israel, and will be launched if either Iran or Syria are attacked, an Iranian website affiliated with the regime reported on Monday.

"Iran will shoot at Israel 600 missiles if it is attacked," the Iranian news website, Assar Iran, reported. "600 missiles will only be the first reaction."
According to the report, dozens of locations throughout Iraq, which are being used by the US Army, have also been targeted.

The Shihab missile has a range of 1,300 km, and can reach anywhere in Israel.

This sounds a bit like Sadaam Hussein's threat to rain fire and destruction down on both U.S. invading forces and Israel, during the build-up prior to both US-Iraqi Wars. The article continues:

On Sunday, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said that the nuclear Iranian crisis forces the world "to prepare for the worst," and said that in this case it "is war."

Kouchner emphasized, however, that negotiations should still be the preferred course of action.

Kouchner, quoted by French daily Le Figaro, added that "Iran does whatever it pleases in Iraq ... one cannot find in the entire world a crisis greater than this one."

With even the French taking a realistic view of the Iranian threat, the Iranians will soon attempt to stall for more time by offering negotiations leading to nowhere--except a nuclear Islamic Republic.

The sooner the Iranian nuclear threat is ended, the better. Take 'em out before there's 700.
