chemical weapons on missles in Syria

So that Israeli attack on Syria was on a missle site being fitted with chemical weapons, not nuclear?

Israeli attack on Syria is more proof of failure of U.S. foreign policy

This can't be good. What the fuck is going on in Syria?

Admittedly, i'm out of the loop. Between the vacation in austin and the work i've had to make up, as well as these recurring headaches, i'm not so up on the news.

My speculation is that this proves once again, Syria did not have WMDs smuggled in from Iraq, or at least any nuclear ones. Why on earth would they import them from North Korea? The reason why the Bush administration is not crowing about the Israeli strike is because they don't know how to spin this. Syria had to import nuclear weapons and North Korea was not contained. Sure, Syria has possibly suffered a setback to what might be a nuclear program, but how is that an argument bolstering U.S. foreign policy?

Bush can cry all he wants about how he warned us that North Korea would be engaging in nuclear proliferation, but where is the United States? Bogged down in Iraq. Idiot.
