Arjay,

Please provide link for the "mini nuke" claim. I searched the site you linked to with no success.

More for my scientific curiosity rather than belief in childish conspiracy theories. Will always keep an open mind though.

Thanks for your comments. I'm not going to be drawn in to 9/11 conspiracy theories, but on the original subject, when I was in Israel I spoke to a couple of officials who confirmed that the Syrian conflict was definitely one that Israel would sit out, on the grounds that favouring one side would bring the rest of the Arab world down on the other. I did write in On Line Opinion a few months ago that Assad's actions against his own people would mean an end to any hope of Syria getting back the Golan while his regime or anything like his regime was in power. On another matter I did write (not in OLO) of a former Syrian commander, Abdulateef al-Mulhim, writing in a Saudi newspaper (of all places) that further conflict with Israel was pointless and the money would be better spent on education, healthcare and the improvement of human rights in the Arab world.

Very wise. I never argue with "truthers" or "birthers."

I think every sane person in the M-E knows that. But still the rockets fly.

I once wrote a piece - not for OLO - in which I explained what I would be doing if I were in charge of Sinai after the Israelis left. I would have sent trade missions across Europe inviting investment.

"Sinai is open for business" would have been my message to investors.

"That'll stick it to the Israelis" would have been my message to my constituents. "We'll become the Hong Kong of the Mediterranean."

Instead they chose rockets.

C'est la guerre.

Stezza here is a transcript of an interview with Prof Chris Busby and Russian Today.http://nsnbc.wordpress.com/2011/10/28/us-uranium-to-blame-for-babies-in-fallujah/ Busby says that they found evidence of slightly enriched uranium.He goes on to say that this a suggestion of an entirely new weapon,perhaps a neutron bomb.

He and his team have done the scientific investigation but no one wants to listen.

Stezza here is another quote from Busby supporting the supposition that the US has developed and using a new nuclear weapon which is against all international law.

They took hair samples from women in Fallujah and since hair grows slowly it gave them a long history that traced this enriched uranium back to the time of the US attacks.

Busby," We believe the results show the existance of a new secret Uranium weapon.We have found some US patents for thermobaric and directed charge warheads which employ Uranium Powder to increase their effect.It seems that Uranium weapons have moved from simple anti-tank penetrators used in the First Gulf War,which were basically lumps of metal.Since 2003,it seems the Military has been using something else entirely.Something quite scary."

They also have found evidence of Uranium Weapons in Lebanon and the Baltic States.

ARJAY- it was the force of the upper stories of the Twin Towers collapsing onto the ones below that made those buildings fall in a straight line to the ground.

If there had been any explosives set inside the building of enough magnitude to bring those buildings down, then the walls and windows would have blown out from the inside and we would have seen them exploding outwards, looking from the outside, but the buildings didn’t do this, they fell straight down. Indicating that they collapsed from the weight coming down from above.

Seeing is believing. Experts(like the ones you quote) have been proven wrong many times.
I believe what I saw. Those buildings falling in a vertical line to the ground.
