What did Israel bomb in Syria?

Pepe Escobar: Real story behind September air strike has never been investigated

Monday April 28th, 2008

Last week's allegation by the US government that an Israeli air strike in Syria last September hit a nuclear facility being developed with the co-operation of North Korea has drawn strong denials from the Syrian government. The real problem here, says The Real News analyst Pepe Escobar, is that the air strike, and the claims made about it months later, have never been properly investigated by mainstream media.

1. Oh, the real story . . . puh-leeze

If you can't trust Israel and the U.S. to tell the truth about an unprovoked incursion into another country's airspace and sneak attack bombing run (which are, technically speaking, war crimes or crimes against humanity), then you might as well say that Santa Claus doesn't exist!

I'm not going to sit around and listen to a bunch of Nosy Parkers bad-mouth Santa Claus! {Stomps out, humming "Santa Claus is Coming to Town.}

2. Yeah, the leaders of Israel and the U.S. telling the truth. Something to

sneer at.
