This story got lost in shuffle last weekend, I'm surprised no one brought it up. I know we're all focused on Iraq right now, but it looks to me like pressure is building on a military confrontation between Israel and Syria. The Israelis apparently bombed an area of northeastern Syria last week. The Syrians claimed it was an empty area, but it now appears that what the Israelis bombed was a missile base in northeastern Syria (which would mean near the Turkish and Iraqi borders).
Furthermore, the Israelis have spotted what they believe may be Syrian nuclear installations stocked by the North Koreans. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3448829,00.html Also, the latest news that UN sanctions against Iran are apparently dead after the Germans said they would back no further sanctions makes a U.S. bombing campaign against Iranian nuclear sites more likely. None of these developments is good news, as it raises the specter of a regional war. Ironically, the presence of U.S. and coalition forces in Iraq, a cause of much outrage in the Middle East, could be the only thing preventing a wider conflict. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion 8 - Build next generation apps today, with easy PDF and Ajax features - download now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:242256 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
