Reply #11: Yes, Syria has been secretive.

When you are in prison and someone steals your cigarettes, you don't get on the PA system and tell everyone, unless you want them to know they can steal your smokes without repercussion also.

With Israel holding 300+ nukes, (not to mention their little problem with truth about all things nuclear) what good would launching one or two on Israel or any one else do for them?

Before they had a chance to fry in their own fallout, they would be turned into glass, so no, I don't concede they have a motivation to obtain them.

Too much wealth expended for ensured destruction of yourself. Not all leaders are as stupid as bush.

The same goes for Iran, they would both do better by signing agreements to provide China with oil in exchange for nuclear cover from an Israeli nuclear strike. That would be a win, win for all three and they would make money instead of spending it for no good reason.

Besides, Israel isn't really concerned about Iran getting nukes.
