Der Speigel has spent a lot of time putting the pieces together regarding Israel's September 2007 air strike that destroyed the Syrian-Iranian-North Korean reactor at Al-Kibar. Their report makes for very interesting, even compelling, reading.

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
This is what caught my eye,
So, exactly how destructive was necessary? And judging by the photos, I don't see that there would be many people besides guards at the site during the night. You've got to love the German left, as unteachable and ugly as ever.
Well, you know, Germans (or Russian, or Americans, or Brits, or the French, or anyone else for that matter) wouldn't dream of using any more destructive force than is absolutely necessary....
In any event, this is really the sort of stuff that should not be publicized (which is, of course, why Der Spiegel, snideness and all, has made the effort).
The only other possible explanation is that the Zionist-controlled media has planted this extraordinary piece of disinformation to distract attention from the fact that the Zionists blew up what was really a (state-of-the-art) North Korean-Syrian Friendship and Cultural Center.
(No wonder the North Koreans weren't terribly pleased.)
What a stupid comment that chuck cited. There's an old foot soldier saying- anything worth shooting at is worth emptying a clip into. If you decide you need to bomb an installation, doesn't it behoove you to guarantee the bombing takes?
In the history of aerial bombardment, have there possibly been occasions where bombs didn't go off, or missed, or hit but didn't destroy? Duh. Of course you use more ordinance than absolutely necessary. You use whatever it is to ensure the job is done to a reasonable degree of certainty. If you aren't convinced your attack is so important that its worth that measure of violence, you shouldn't be contemplating the attack. Once you decide you are going to be violent, you might as well make sure you accomplish your goal.
