The size of Israel's nuclear arsenal has been one of the worst-kept "secrets" in the world. If US officials are embarrassed or distressed by Carter's "revelation," it is only because they have allowed themselves to be a party to an official deceit. It makes it a little harder for them to justify their opposition to the Iranian nuclear program, but it won't make any significant difference in US support for Israel, nor will it be used as a basis to create (at long last) a rational policy toward other nations in the region.

there are many links to their program.

Mordechai Vanunu spent 18 years in prison and remains under restrictions because of the weapons israel "doesn't have."
the united nations follows the official line as well. it's just that EVERY country knows the truth about both the bombs and the means of delivery.

Finally I find somebody made a sensible comment.The truth is any Western country can have any amount of any weapon but Muslim countries should not have them and that is considered a threat to Israel but Israel can threaten, invade, occupy and destroy any country in the region with the support of the United States of America. So the question here is how the so called peace can be brought about in the region?

we all know of the hypocrisy of US foreign policy regarding the Middle East. Every vote in the UN on Israel occupation of Palestinian land was vetoed by the US. Palestine is a jail now and the USA continues to give Israel billions & billions of $ every year and the latest technological defense weapons. Shame on America.

"how a future U.S. president should deal with the Iranian nuclear threat,
Carter put the risk in context by listing atomic weapons held globally."
"The U.S. has more than 12,000 nuclear weapons, the Soviet Union (Russia) has about the same, Great Britain and France have several hundred, and Israel has 150 or more."

Since when has anyone in Iran said that Armageddon is a "GOOD" thing?
If you are looking for someone that wants to bring about Armageddon, look in THIS country and look straight at John Hagee and his "Christians United for Israel".

The invisible killer rabbit named Bush, Cheney and the neocons who think armageddon will whisk them away to heaven.
They will be left behind wondering what they did wrong.
Heres a hint. Don't try to force God's hand he will do things in his time. Not ours.

Unfortunately, many of the religious right nutjobs here in the USA agree, thinking that that would bring "the rapture," etc. And some of those whackjobs are in our federal government setting policy.

Jimmy Carter is an ignorant fool and should be locked up.
Yeah, he is an ignorant fool if he doesn't support the Zionist crimes in the region. He should support Israel for everything they do to systematically eliminate the Palestinians after slowly stealing their land, destroying their crops and poisoning the water that they drink and also they kill Palestinian men, women and children. These are crimes Jimmy Cart should approve and then sing the praise of Israel.

Jimmi was told by our government not to go and suck up to Hammas. He did it any way.
He should be arrested and waterboarded.
If you wanna blame Nixon for carters blunders then I'll just blame Clinton for Bushes' blunders. Fair is fair.

Well that's freedom for ya.
"He should be arrested and waterboarded."
Well that fascism for ya.

Paul Volcker, the Carter-appointed head of the Federal Reserve, jammed interest rates up to national-heart-attack levels and left them there until inflationary expectations were well and truly tamed.

Clinton gave nuke secrets to China, ignored catching Bin Laden when we could have, Ignored terrorism while chasing Monica around the White House with his cigar, Ignored the sleeper cell that did the 911 attack during their planning and flight training, lied under oath, lost his license to practice law, Infringed on the Second Amendment with his stupid Brady Bill, and stole the furniture in the White House when he left.
A real class act.

Totally incorrect.
Read this about China and WHEN they got their hands on most of those 'secrets'.
http://www.consortiumnews.com/2005/110305.html
The REPUBLICANS totally IGNORED the growing threat of Bin Laden and al Qaeda because THEY were too busy chasing Clinton for 8 years trying to "get" him on something. All they could come up with was lying about sex.
There was no "opportunity" for Clinton to capture Bin Laden. That is a total myth made up by the Republicans to try to discredit him. The 9/11 Commission reports debunk that myth.
Clinton's administration compiled a HUGE amount of intelligence data on Bin Laden and al Qaeda - when they handed all that data over to Bush and Rice, they ignored it.
The FBI and the CIA screwed up by not talking to each other about the intelligence data they had gathered regarding the suspicicious events such as the flight training.
Bush IGNORED the August 2001 PDB that was practically an invitation to the 9/11 event.

BTW, automan909, do you know that Susan Rice, the undersecretary of state for Clinton who was the point person when Sudan begged us (three times) to take Bin Laden off their hands, is Obama's chief foreign policy advisor? Nay, nay, she said with Clinton's approval and Madeline's acquiescence. We can't touch him. Why that might be controversial.

That is a TOTAL MYTH. That never happened - there is no documentation to support that and plenty of documentation to debunk it.
You have watched that ABC TV movie one too many times - total fabrication.

Try reading the 9/11 Commission report to get your head straight on that and a load of other facts.

Obama said the United States must first address Iran's attempt to gain nuclear capabilities by going before the United Nations Security Council and lobbying the international community to apply more pressure on Iran to cease nuclear activities. That pressure should come in the form of economic sanctions, he said.
But if those measures fall short, the United States should not rule out military strikes to destroy nuclear production sites in Iran, Obama said.
"The big question is going to be, if Iran is resistant to these pressures, including economic sanctions, which I hope will be imposed if they do not cooperate, at what point are we going to, if any, are we going to take military action?" Obama asked.

Actually the quickest route to peace in the mideast might be for the Iranians to announce that they already have 20 nuclear missiles pointed at Tel Aviv, Acre, Haifa, Jaffa,... Then we might see an end to israeli nuclear blackmail of the mideast, an end to zionist crimes against humanity, an end to zionist treason in america and the beginning of serious peace negotiations.
