US Army Confirms Israeli Nukes »
Posted By jovial 7 months, 3 weeks ago in NewsOfficially, the United States has a policy "ambiguity" regarding Israel's nuclear capability. Essentially, it has played a game by which it neither acknowledges nor denies that Israel is a nuclear power.

Lets see now. Close Gitmo, Try to dicourage members in the military by rimors they will have to pay there own medical cost, No longer call terrorism what is is, Now leak out Isreals war capabilities. This President and his people are going to ruin this nation. He will make us weak for attack. They ignore the drug war is in our country from mexico. Refuse to enforce immigration and are spending us into our death as a nation. The republicans at the same time are spending with them and remaining silent. This government is AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF THE US, BOtH PARTIES. How long will we watch and do nothing?

Closing Gitmo...good idea. Vets paying their own insurance...bad idea. Confirming Israel is a nuclear power...priceless. Maybe now we can have weapons inspectors come in. Why should they be allowed to have weapons with no inspections, when even the U.S. has to conform to some oversight.BTW, this report came out in Nov. 2008., so who are you referring to when you said,"the President and his people"?

What this does is give another argumental point for Iran to become a nuke power and start a nuke race in that part of the world. I can never understand libs on this. On one side they are against Nukes. On the other they block most actions against Iran trying to stop them from obtaining them.

actions? what you mean is paranoia, hatred and bad blood.
iran is entitled to nuclear power under the npt, iran has done nothing wrong under the npt, the iaea and its inspectors say iran has done nothing wrong under the npt, and we don't have the slightest shred of evidence of everything we accuse iran of... just like we did with iraq. and look where that got us.
all we've got on our side is paranoia, hatred and bad blood.... just like we had with iraq. and look where that got us.
what iran has on its side is international law. you obviously care little about such things as law and give more credence to paranoia, hatred and bad blood. way to go. guess iraq wasn't enough for you. you want the bigger badder hollywood sequel

Sometimes, what you don´t say is more obvious than what you cry out loud. Everybody knew for years, that Israel owns nuclear weapons, but political correctness hindered the Bush administration to admit this once and for all. This bigottery could be made use of by the Iranian president: Why is Israel allowed to own and produce nuclear weapons without any sanctions and Iran, officially only claiming the right of civil use, is added to the "axis of evil"?

Because HAVING WEAPONS and UNING them are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. France, Britain, Russia and China are allowed to own and produce nuclear weapons without any sanctions as well because they're not going to "erase" other countries "from the page of time". So is Israel.
On the other hand, if the neighbors of Israel were absolutely, positively sure that Israel did not have nuclear weapons they would try to "erase" it again as they've tried several times in the past.

I wonder if this announcement will keep Iran from nuking Israel. Of course, if it does keep Iran from nuking Israel, how can the ancient 12 year old boy (the 12th Imam, or Mahdi) who disappeared down a well hundreds of years ago, come back with Jesus to open up a can of holy Shiite whoop ass on Christians and Jews?

This is like the international version of saying Rock Hudson wasn't gay - everybody knows that Israel is a nuclear power- if for no other reason because the program was revealed by an Israeli scientist years ago.

All those crying non-proliferation crap - take a look at those who are supplying Iran or the fact that Pakistan & India have nuclear abilities too & no one is citing the Symington amendment in their case.
Anyway in Israel's case it's not really proliferation - they are keeping all atomic materials & developments for their own use. -

If Israel is found to have nuclear weapons, then this will only lead to a buildup of Iran's suspected nuclear arsenal & pretty soon, all of Israel's enemies (especially Syria) will either strengthen the Palestinian terror groups or worse, start up their long-dormant nuclear arms programs.

Hardly. You see, Iranian and Arab leaders are smart enough to realize that nuclear weapons will drastically improve their chances of destroying Israel which is their official declared goal. Even more so in case they'll be convinced that Israel does not have an answer to Iranian nukes.
> ..pretty soon, all of Israel's enemies (especially Syria) will either strengthen the Palestinian terror groups or worse, start up their long-dormant nuclear arms programs.
What makes you believe that this will not happen in case Israel is NOT found to have nuclear weapons? Please consider that Israel WAS NOT found to have nuclear weapons yet but Iran is busily preparing their own.
When facts and your theories contradict each other, Luis, it's not the facts that should be corrected.

Israel hasn't received a single missile from the US that is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. They have developed their own missile system as well as space Rockets. Their Jericho missile is quite capable of delivering a nuclear warhead anywhere that is necessary. Isreal is one of 5 countries that have the capability of launching satellites into space. They don't need US missiles to deliver a nuclear warhead.
