The Muslim nations having nukes will not be as big of a deal as them using them. When they do it’ll be time to glass the place.

They will use them. The iranians have promised to use them as soon as they are functional. We need to get a president who will drill everywhere we have oil, start building nuclear powerplants and new refineries and spur the energy companies to find new alternative, realistic energy sources and cleaner uses for coal. Then when they start lobbing nuclear bombs around we solve the main problem the world faces today, being at the mercy of middle east oil.

More like 300 and yes they have always been Hydrogen weapons, you can thank the French for that. Furthermore Israel’s “Jericho 3″ Shavit ICBMs have a 7800 Km range (Israel uses these to launch their Ofeq satellites, which they launch westward against the earth rotation) Israel has a minimum of 50 of these. Add to that the 5 Dolphin class submarines Israel has with their Popeye Turbo cruise missiles which have a 1500Km range, yes the Popeye cruise missiles are nuclear armed. Throw in the Popeye Turbo II F-15 launched nuclear cruise missiles with their 200 Km range. There is no question that Israel is fully capable of bringing about the end of all life on this planet.

Equally obviously, the recording will, by now, have been misplaced, lost or mysteriously erased.

Does the UN have a transcript or recording of the session, in the original languages. It shouldn’t be too hard for them to turn that over to independent translators to see what they have to say. MEMRI, maybe?

I was just thinking the same thing. Surely, the meeting was recorded.

Ummm… I think you overestimate the power and delivery systems for Israeli nuclear weapons.

Unless they’ve upgraded to Hydrogen weapons, the last I heard was they had about 100 nukes. 100 nukes, while catastophic, would NOT end the world… just not enough firepower.

They also do not have the delivery systems to hit North or South America…

Now, they could do a pretty good job on the middle east… and if they hit Pakistan it would complicate matters… but unless they hit China/Russia/USA it would not start a general Nuclear war. For it to be a world ending event, they would have to draw in the Superpowers.

Via YNET, loose lips at the UN leads to Syrian representatives mistakenly backing up claims that Israel struck a nuclear target..
Syrian officials have admitted that the site attacked by the Israeli air force last month was a nuclear facility, Yedioth …

The UN promotes tyranny and corruption, is itself corrupt and repugnant.

It is time that pile of trash departed this country.

We could use the office space. And NYC wouldn’t have to eat so many parking tickets. Let france take duties of hosting this bunch of overpaid clowns.

One of the tougher things about being an amateur armchair analyst is separating what I WANT, what I BELIEVE, and what I KNOW. For example, I WANT my senator, John……

It is time that pile of trash departed this country.

Great site. Very good work. A pity more “progressives” don’t read it.

The nuclear game has always been a game of “when” not “if”. The Muslim nations having nukes will not be as big of a deal as them using them. When they do it’ll be time to glass the place.

You want nukes… ya got ‘em… boom!

When they do it will be to damn late. When the Muzzie use their nuclear weapons it really and truly will be Game Over Man…For everyone. You need to understand this, Israel’s Samson option does not mean retaliating against those who attack her.

Israel’s Samson option is this, if Israel ceases to be, so does the entire rest of the world. If they have to go back into the ovens they are taking the entire world with them. Make no mistake about it, that is their plan. If they die, so does everyone else on the face of the earth.

And yes, they do have the capability to do this, it is not a empty threat.

However, it’ll be interesting and none too surprising to see how many let the Syrians bluff their way out of this.

The fact that Israel hit some type of nuclear facility in Syria with air strikes last month now seems to be commn knowledge. The strange thing is that everyone involved, with the exception of a unnamed British ministerial source, remains…

In ten years all the middle eastern countries will have nuclear weapons and there is nothing that will stop it from happening. peacenprosperity on October 17, 2007 at 9:57 PM

Did the United Nations deliberately try to hide a Syrian admission that Israel hit a nuclear reactor?URL: Little Green Footballs…

The UN caught with its pants down.

Catching the UN with its pants UP is much more challenging.
