Darth Cheney's DisInformation Factory

Allegations that a Syrian envoy admitted during a United Nations meeting Oct. 17 that an Israeli air strike hit a nuclear facility in September are inaccurate and have raised the ire of some in the US intelligence community, who see the Vice President’s hand as allegedly being behind the disinformation.

A United Nations press release discussing the General Assembly’s Disarmament Committee meeting mistranslated comments ascribed to an unnamed Syrian diplomat as saying that Israel had on various occasions “taken action against nuclear facilities, including the 6 July attack in Syria.”

The UN has since gone through the tape recordings of the meeting and found that there was no mention of the word “nuclear” at all. According to the UN, the error was one of translation, involving several interpreters translating the same meeting.

Recent news articles, however, continue to make allegations and suggest that a nuclear weapons facility was hit -- something that the Syrian government has denied, the Israeli government has not officially confirmed and US intelligence does not show...


Of course, the biggest stumbling block to peace in the Middle East, Darth Cheney, continues to rattle sabers at both Iran and Syria.

He's not alone, he's doing it along with the rest of his PNAC cabal.

Like Nicole Belle says:

...the last time a country started an aggression that was not supported by the vast majority of other countries on the planet, it didn’t end up so well for them. Is this the outcome you’re hoping for, you sorry fascist excuse for a human being?




Well, in a word, yes.
