Israel attacks Syria Drive-by media Dead Silent

http://news.independent.co.uk/world/...cle2964474.ece


Oh, and I know it might be too much too ask the All OJ 24-7 drive-by media, but could you break off your coverage of the boil on OJ's ass long enough to cover the start of World War Three???

Who knows how serious this is? Israel and Syria aren't talking much but somehow I feel that something that COULD be the beginning of ALL OUT WAR in the Middle East is a little more important than whether OJ stole his Heisman trophy back.

Well the boil on OJ's ass is getting larger, right after the break we at the OJ network will have a world renown rectal expert to discuss it's shape and what it means for America.

Meanwhile, back in the real world a possible motive for the Israeli attack????

Apparently our buddies the Iranians were helping the Syrians to put a sarin gas warhead on a scud missile. Silly terrorists even the North Korean No Dong (I swear I didn't make that name up) missiles are better than Scuds.

Well back to OJ....

Good topic. The first link doesn't work, and I've barely heard anything about this between the "Jenna Six" and O.J. The media is shit.

Mystery deepens over Israeli strike on Syria
By Donald Macintyrein Jerusalem
Published: 15 September 2007

Israel is still maintaining official silence a week after Syria complained that Israeli aircraft invaded its airspace in a mysterious incident which raised tensions and triggered a welter of US media speculation about possible targets for the operation.

Explanations – for what anonymous US officials have said was a strike inside Syria – range from suggesting it was aimed at the shipment of weapons to Hizbollah from Iran, to saying Syria may be building a nuclear facility with North Korean help.

Syria, which has asked for a formal complaint to be "circulated" to the UN Security Council, said last week that Israeli aircraft unloaded ammunition after being spotted and fired on by its air defences but inflicted no damage.

Reuters, The New York Times and CNN have all quoted officials – mainly in the US – as saying that Israel carried out a strike in Syria. Reuters quoted an unnamed US official on Wednesday as saying: "The strike I can confirm. The target I can't." The agency quoted another US official as saying that reports on the targets were "confused".

Meanwhile, The Washington Post reported this week a US official as saying that recent satellite imagery, mainly provided by Israel, suggested that Syria may building some form of nuclear facility with the help of material unloaded by North Korea.

The US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, did little to discourage such speculation when she told Fox News this week in response to a question about possible nuclear developments in Syria that her government is working to prevent "the world's most dangerous people from having the world's most dangerous weapons".

The only hint – if such it was – dropped by an unusually taciturn Israel was the release of a video by the Israeli military shortly after the incident showing a broadly smiling Chief of Staff, Gabi Ashkenazy, shaking the hands of his deputy while sharing a Jewish New Year toast. This has helped to fuel speculation that Israel had conducted a successful mission in Syria.

Syria has not fought an outright war with Israel since 1973 when it briefly overran and was then repulsed from the Golan Heights, sovereign Syrian territory captured by Israel in the Six Day War six years earlier. Syria has long agitated for return of the Golan while Israel blames Damascus for its succour to Hizbollah and militant Palestinian factions like Hamas and Islamic Jihad.

There have been persistent reports over the last year that the US has discouraged Israel from responding to oblique overtures from the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for a negotiated recovery of the Golan. The New York Times quoted equally anonymous US sources on Wednesday as saying that the likely targets were weapons shipments Israel believed Iran was sending to Hizbollah through Syria. That claim was dismissed later in the day by Bashar Ja'afari, the Syrian ambassador to the United Nations.

"This is blah blah," Mr Ja'afari said. "This is nonsense, this is an unfounded statement. It is not up to the Israelis or anyone else to assess what we have in Syria. There was no target, they dropped their munitions. They were running away after they were confronted by our air defence."

European diplomats who met with the Syrian Vice-President, Walid Moallem, reportedly formed the impression that Syria was not planning a military retaliation. But the Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister, Faysal Mekdad, warned after a meeting with his Russian counterpart yesterday that growing tension could yet spark violence in the region and that Syria has the "means to respond in ways that will preserve its position of power".

Fury as Netanyahu confirms Syria strike
By Donald Macintyre in Jerusalem
Published: 21 September 2007

Benjamin Netanyahu, leader of the right-wing opposition party Likud, was chacteristically at the centre of a controversy yesterday after appearing to be the first Israeli politician to confirm an air strike against Syria two weeks ago.

With reporting in Israel covoered by military censorship, Mr Netanyahu startled television viewers – and reportedly shocked the office of the Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert – by answering a question about the supposed air strike in an interview.

Mr Netanyahu, a former prime minister, infuriated some of his political opponents by telling Channel One television that he was "party" to the operation on which he had personally congratulated Olmert. He declared " When the Prime Minister takes action in important and necessary matters, and generally when the government is doing things for the security of Israel, I give it my endorsement. I was party to this matter, I must say, from the first minute and I gave it my backing, but it is still too early to discuss this subject." Israel's government has maintained a studious, and unusual, silence since Syria first complained about an incursion into its airspace.

WE have it on good authority that the punctured boil on OJ's ass is healing nicely. Speaking with us live from an undisclosed golf course in Florida is Geraldo. Geraldo, what do you have for us? Yes, Stewart, Geraldo here with my high-powered binoculars and I believe I can see, I believe that either OJ is glad to see someone or the viagra he stole from Rush Limbaugh hasn't worn off.....

Meanwhile Israel threatens to WIPE SYRIA OFF THE MAP!

You know I'm so glad to have such a responsible media. After all it is so much more important to know about EVERY ARCANE DETAIL of OJ's life than World War 3 perhaps!!!!!

Thanks for posting, Wil. You'd think another Middle East Conflict would boost ratings...
