Israeli Airstrike Update!
The plot continues to thicken.
Yesterday, Israel's former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly praised the current president, Ehud Olmert, for the airstrike in Syria. Of course, he said nothing specific about what its purpose was. From what I have been given to understand about Israeli politics, Netanyahu and Olmert are political rivals, so for the former to publicly support the latter while mentioning no details concerning the attack itself...and Syria, who would normally jump at the chance to blacken Israel's eye, remains silent. Oooh, goosebumps.
And remember, this all happened on the border with Turkey, who just might be a factor in why nobody's talking. Possibly, the Turks were moving something across the border, or had some other kind of direct involvement. That might explain why Israel is clamming up, to save Turkey the embarrassment--this incident aside, the two countries have a very real strategic need for each other.
But...
WHAT the hell was the target?
