Israel admits bombing Syria (Reuters)

I suppose we can expect the usual condemnation of Israeli aggression by our politicians. :sarcasm:

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu has broken an official silence over Syria's accusations that Israel bombed its territory, hinting the reported mission was of strategic significance and a success.

Asked during an Israeli television interview on Wednesday to comment on "that operation that is so cloaked in secrecy," Netanyahu said: "I was privy to the matter from the outset and I gave my backing. But it's too early to be discussing this."

Netanyahu's remarks, broadcast live, flew in the face of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert government's refusal to talk about the September 6 incident and drew flak from rivals and allies alike who suggested the hawkish ex-premier was vying for redit.

Syrian officials have said that their air defenses forced Israeli jets to flee, dropping bombs harmlessly in the desert.

However, U.S. and other officials have said Israel attacked Syrian targets that may have had links to North Korean nuclear arms or Iranian weapons for Lebanon's Hezbollah group.

Hell, I would like to see our politicians give the Israeli government a pat on the back for pulling off a flawless strike and returning to base with all personnel accounted for.

I'd like to see the UN condemn Israel for aggression against another country and impose sanctions.
