It's worth noting that some cooling facilities were apparently nearby but seperate...the building has been around since at least 2003, also, according to other recently discovered photos, rendering any connection with Iraq exceedingly remote...

Still, though, wondering about the size to facilitate a nuclear building capable of building weapons. How big does it need to be? Only 150 ft. by 150 ft.? That's tiny. Good point.

The fact that they quickly destroyed the building and wiped the site is as close to an admission that the site was nuclear as you're ever going to see outside of direct confirmation through analysis of the wreckage, impossible now...</p> Mike, if the building had not been nuclear in nature, they would have certainly allowed the IAEA inspectors to come look at the wreckage rather than destroying it, because to do so would have been a HUGE black eye for Israel and another massive intelligence failure.

I'd like to see some of those with Syrians and NoKos scurrying to "scrub" the site. Heh!

I can't imagine they would even allow inspectors in regardless of how fast they clean it up. And are inspectors allowed in after a building has been destroyed but not before?

Is that enough space to do anything remotely useful in making nuclear weapons? Seriously, I have no idea. That seems really small to me. I suppose there is a large underground area? All I'm saying is color me unimpressed. http://www.isis-online.org/publications/SyriaUpdate25October2007.pdf If it only takes a 150 ft. by 150 ft. footprint to create nuclear weapons, it seems like it'd be really easy to miss underground bunkers or, shoot, caves where they could do that. Or was this building supposedly the first of many? I’m no nuclear pysicist, but the building that was leveled was 150 ft. by 150 ft.
