'USAF struck Syrian nuclear site' | Jerusalem Post

Now it appears that Al-Jazeera has turned to misleading or outright lying about the news these days.

The September 6 raid over Syria was carried out by the US Air Force, the Al-Jazeera Web site reported Friday. The Web site quoted Israeli and Arab sources as saying that two US jets armed with tactical nuclear weapons carried out an attack on a suspected nuclear site under construction.

The sources were quoted as saying that Israeli F-15 and F-16 jets provided cover for the US planes.

The sources added that each US plane carried one tactical nuclear weapon and that the site was hit by one bomb and was totally destroyed.

Ok, let's analyze that for a minute.  If American planes did conduct this raid, Syria would be super pissed about it.  Plus, they would have every right to take it up with the UN.  If they hit that site with a tactical nuclear weapon, radiation would show up in satellite's scans within minutes. 

US intelligence “found no radiation signatures after the bombing, so there was no uranium or plutonium present,” said one official, wishing to remain anonymous due to the sensitivity of the subject.

The fact that they didn't, or anyone else didn't for that matter, speaks volumes.  Al-Jazeera's "source" is either lying, or Al-Jazeera is.  Either way, this story is full of crap and Al-Jazeera needs to bone up on Journalism 101.
