#1 A nuclear device or a nuclear facility?
Big difference there, methinks.

#4 My bet is it was a small research-type reactor maybe a neutron source reactor but not fueled or even fuel on site. Remote sensing would pick up any radiation left over. Just enough for the Nork's to earn a little beer money for Kimmie. And for the Syrians to up the ante in any discussions with the Israelis. But Arabs can't keep secrets and the word got out to Mossad and then it went boom.

#5 ... rejected Liels demand as nothing more than a leftist initiative.

#6 Some analysts have said the reason for the continued silence of the Israeli government on the September 6 attack is to avoid humiliating Assad and leading to a possible military escalation.

No, sir! We would not like to humiliate Assad. After all, he is the key to successful negotiations and a lasting peace with Israel. Perish the thought. [shudders]
