A covert nuclear reactor destroyed last year in Syria would have been capable of producing plutonium and likely was "not intended for peaceful purposes," the White House said Thursday.

A senior U.S. official told CNN Thursday that the reactor was weeks or months away from being functional when it was bombed by Israel in September.

Things are always true when the White House says them, especially when it comes to Middle Eastern countries' weapons programs...

What is even worse is the constant refrain from militiary friends that all the WMD went to Syria, but some how the Commander In Chief did not seem to think that was worthy of exploring?

More credible than a terrorist-sponsoring nation that said not a word when Israel bombed this facility in a covert operation. Their silence is very telling.

It was Israel and the US who were hush-hush. Syria plainly protested the violation of its sovereignty and airspace...

What?! I thought the FED can print money out at will?! Of course, at the expense of American citizens.

Heck, isn't America "selling its furniture to pay its mortage" nowadays?! That'll cover a few more wars in the future! (Suuuhhwwweeeet)
