September 12, 2007 (LPAC) -- The New York Times, citing unnamed Bush Administration sources, is spreading the Israeli disinformation "du jour'' about Syria--i.e., that North Korea is supplying Syria with nuclear weapons. In a provocative piece today, that has been played back widely into the Israeli press, the Times reports, "One Bush administration official said Israel had recently carried out reconnaissance flights over Syria, taking pictures of possible nuclear installations that Israeli officials believed might have been supplied with material from North Korea. The administration official said Israeli officials believed that North Korea might be unloading some of its nuclear material on Syria.''

Even the CIA has never cited any evidence of a Syrian nuclear weapons program, according to EIR News Service. According to the website, Syria Comment, all the Israeli reasons for the overflight cited by CNN, "stink." "The real reason [the CNN story] doesn't make sense is that if Israel had intelligence that Syria was violating UNCR 1701 and acted on it, they would have trumpeted the happy news to the world, rather than sit on it..."

However, Ha'aretz, reminds us that neo-conservative fanatic, John Bolton (who could not even get Senate confirmation for his nomination as U.S. ambassador to the UN) had penned an op-ed in Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Urinal on Aug. 31, alleging that North Korea was shipping its nuclear weapons to Iran and Syria. Bolton had been at the center of disinformation that led to the Iraq war, including the infamous "Niger Yellow Cake" disinformation.
