Bombing A Syrian Air Base

The news today includes a story that an air force base in Syria was attacked by missiles coming from the sea.  The Assad forces blame the Israelis for the attack although the Israelis have said nothing to indicate that they were the attacking party.  There were no injuries during the attack, but three or four buildings were destroyed together with all that was in them.  There is speculation that the buildings may have housed anti-aircraft missiles, weapons that the Israelis want to keep from the hands of Hezbollah.  No one knows for sure, though.

This is another of those mysteries that pop up in the Middle East from time to time.  It may be that there was no involvement by Israel in this attack.  Indeed, it may be that there really was no such attack.

At least the NSA can tell president Obama what the other world leaders think about this.
