 Neocons Tie N. Korea to Israeli Strike on Syria
by Khody Akhavi
Nearly two weeks have passed since Israeli warplanes conducted a
mysterious raid against an as yet unidentified target in northeast
Syria. Details of the incident have been slow to come, as officials
from both countries have remained tightlipped.
In the absence of a clear picture of what happened in the early hours
of Sept. 6, speculation in the U.S. mainstream media has grown as to
what exactly the Israelis targeted, and why Damascus - assuming it was
the target of an unprovoked attack - has been so muted in its
response.
Was Israel's attack aimed at testing Syria's radar defenses? Did the
air strike seek to disrupt arms shipments to Lebanon's Hezbollah? Was
it a dress rehearsal for a possible future strike on Iranian nuclear
facilities?
Feeding the speculation, a familiar clutch of George W. Bush
administration hawks appears to be suggesting that Israel's apparent
air strike may have targeted a joint North Korea-Syria nuclear
venture.
Writing in the opinion pages of the Wall Street Journal more than a
week before the incident, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations
John R. Bolton asserted, "We know that both Iran and Syria have long
cooperated with North Korea on ballistic missile programs, and the
prospect of cooperation on nuclear matters is not far-fetched."
"Whether and to what extent Iran, Syria, or others might be 'safe
heavens' for North Korea's nuclear weapons development, or may have
already benefited from it, must be made clear," he wrote. Bolton
resigned his position at the UN in late 2006 and currently serves as a
senior fellow at the neoconservative American Enterprise Institute.
Comments made by a State Department official last Friday fanned the
flames further and bolstered the neoconservative argument. Andrew
Semmel, acting deputy assistant secretary of state for nuclear
nonproliferation policy, told the Associated Press that the U.S.
believes that Syria may have a number of "secret suppliers" to obtain
nuclear equipment as part of a covert program.
The Bush administration has maintained a hard-line policy stance on
Syria. It has not had high-level diplomatic relations with the country
since the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri
in 2005. The U.S. has alleged that Syria played a role in the
assassination.
Neoconservatives appear to be re-igniting a political narrative that
fits neatly with the infamous cast of the "axis of evil." While not
explicitly mentioned, Syria has often been designated as a junior
partner of Iran, Iraq, and North Korea's "reign of terror" because of
its support for Islamist opposition groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas
in Gaza.
"They want to torpedo the North Korea deal, they have clung doggedly
to making sure that there is no cooperation in Syria, and they're the
same people who got us into this mess in the Middle East in the first
place," said Daniel Levy, a former Israeli peace negotiator and senior
fellow at the Washington-based New America Foundation.
The focus on North Korea comes as the U.S. prepares to implement a
deal to end the country's nuclear weapons program, a diplomatic
approach that has drawn the ire of policy hawks like Bolton.
"Bolton represents the crowd that is very distressed that the U.S. has
declared defeat in North Korea by trusting the North Koreans. They
would like to scuttle that agreement," wrote Syria expert Josh Landis
on his widely read blog.
"While doing it, anything they can drag into to boost the notion of
weapons transfers between Korea and Syria and Iran will be icing on
the cake. Israeli planes were trying to get the goods," he wrote.
Some U.S. analysts have been very dubious of an actual Syrian nuclear
threat, describing the speculation surrounding the incident as a
manufactured stunt aimed at advancing a neoconservative agenda.
"This story is nonsense. The Washington Post story should have been
headlined 'White House Officials Try to Push North Korea-Syria
Connection.' This is a political story, not a threat story," said
Joseph Cirincione, director for nuclear policy at the Washington-based
Center for American Progress, according to an interview with Foreign
Policy.
"Once again, this appears to be the work of a small group of officials
leaking cherry-picked, unvetted 'intelligence' to key reporters in
order to promote a preexisting political agenda. If this sounds like
the run-up to the war in Iraq, it should. This time it appears aimed
at derailing the U.S.-North Korean agreement that administration
hardliners think is appeasement. Some Israelis want to thwart any
dialogue between the U.S. and Syria," he said.
Cirincione previously served as director for nonproliferation at the
Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
The Israeli media - bound by an army censor that restricts coverage of
the incident - has relied largely on foreign press reports to
reconstruct the incident.
"The Israeli press have gone out of their way to say to the Israeli
public, 'we know [the story], we're gonna selectively quote from the
overseas rumors and you can fill in the gaps,'" Levy told IPS. "[The
press] was dismissive about the reports about arming Hezbollah, and
gave greater weight to those connecting Syria and North Korea."
Syria lodged a formal complaint with the UN Tuesday over the "flagrant
violation" of its airspace last week by the Israeli warplanes, which
Damascus claims dropped munitions on its territory. Israel and Syria
have technically been at war since 1967, when Israel occupied the
Golan during the Six-Day War.
The air strike follows a summer that saw heightened tension between
the two countries, a period that provides the necessary context for
the eventual Israeli action.
"Something will come to light and will make it clear to everyone - the
Israelis were sitting on intelligence," said Levy.
Experts are still unsure of what that intelligence entails, and
whether is it "nuclear," "non-conventional," "chemical," or nothing of
the sort. Regardless, in most of the narratives, the North Korea
connection remains a salient point.
But whatever happened in the early hours of Sept. 6 does not appear to
have soured Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's efforts to restart
negotiations with his adversary. Olmert announced on Monday that
Israel was prepared to hold negotiations with Damascus, without
preconditions and without ultimatums, according to the Jerusalem Post.
