Israel & U. S. Shared Intel for Raid

The latest on Operation Orchard.

Israel and the United States collaborated on intelligence ahead of an alleged IAF raid on a suspected Syrian nuclear site on September 6, the Washington Post reported Friday.

According to the report, Israel informed the US this past summer that North Korean personnel were in Syria to help the country's nuclear program. The intelligence in question reportedly included satellite imagery.

In return, the US provided some sort of corroboration.

Well, all this is sort of obvious. The Israeli jets had to have the squawk codes of the American fighters in the region or they would have ended up in a nasty friendly engagement. Also, the Israeli commando unit on the ground in Syria, no doubt, came through Iraq, courtesy of the U.S.

Nevertheless, it's good to know that Israel and America are working so closely together to halt the spread of nuclear arms among the Arab regimes.

This video presentation of Operation Orchard includes animated scenes of the attack.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.

1. No profanity.

2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism.

That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
