The September 6 raid over Syria was carried out by the US Air Force, the Al-Jazeera Web site reported Friday. The Web site quoted Israeli and Arab sources as saying that two strategic US jets armed with tactical nuclear weapons carried out an attack on a nuclear site under construction.
The sources were quoted as saying that Israeli F-15 and F-16 jets provided cover for the US planes.
The sources added that each US plane carried one tactical nuclear weapon and that the site was hit by one bomb and was totally destroyed.

Um. What? Has Syria even admitted that the airstrike happened yet? And does Al Jazeera even know the difference between "Israel" and "The US"?

Would it suprise you honestly if it was otherwise.

I'm pretty sure we couldn't get away with using any sort of nuke without Russia or China noticing.

I would not worry about it, the world community knows that they US did not use nukes. If nukes were used, radiation would have been left behind....

The report said the planes carried tactical nukes, not that it used them. They could have dropped a bunker buster.

Report also said that the USAF was involved in the attack, the best part is why would you have F-4 & F-15 fighters escorting a stealth aircraft :lol: :roll:

Forget "noticing"; I suspect Russia would be given a heads up on it before it happened..even if only an hour or so.
