America Ready to Nuke Syria?
Al Jazeera reported today that Syria claims that they were bombed, not by Israel but by the United State. Israel, they said, only flew cover. Not only were they bombed by the U.S. but our planes were carrying tactical nuclear weapons.
This is another example of a plausible lie going one sentence too far and becoming a risible lie. The decision making process to put our air force at risk on a military mission over Syria would be involved. It would be a very major change in policy. But to put any kind of nuclear device into an operational war theatre would be monumental—and very unlikely not to leak.
Flying into battle with nukes is not done lightly. One would have to have a problem, an issue, a threat that could only be met by the use of nuclear weapons, where conventional big bombs and bunker-busters couldn’t work.
Syria posed no such challenge. You see the thing about making nuclear weapons operational is that you have to be ready and willing to use them. You don’t fly in with them just in case you might need them. Letting that horrible Genii out of the bottle will not be done lightly—not even by this government.
Safe Assumptions for understanding Arab State press releases.
1. They are lying in general.
2. They are lying about what happened.
3. They are lying about what they did.
4. They are lying about what their attackers did.
5. They are lying about what those who were not their attackers did.
6. They will claim that America did it.
7. They will claim that Israel operates America as a puppet master.
8. The world is run by AmericanZionistCrusaders. (n.b. This is one world like Valley Ohmygod!)

We don't fly nukes into Syria, darnit! We only fly nukes over our own country!
