As Gordon Chang points out on these pages, http://www.commentarymagazine.com/contentions/index.php/chang/926 there is ongoing speculation on what Israeli aircraft targeted in the early hours of September 6, when they entered Syrian air space, flew all the way to the Syrian-Iraqi-Turkish border, and dropped a load of heavy bombs (perhaps aided by special ground forces who were safely helicoptered in and out of the area). Whether it’s a nuclear facility run jointly by Iran and North Korea, or a missile base, or an arms shipment for Hizballah, or a Russian-made modern air defense system, one thing is clear from all the reports: the Syrian military still cannot tell the difference between an Israeli F-15 and a seagull.
