US Declassifies Document on Israel's Nuclear Power - News from America - News - Arutz Sheva

" In a development that has largely been missed by mainstream media, the Pentagon early last month quietly declassified a Department of Defense top-secret document detailing Israel's nuclear program, a highly covert topic that Israel has never formally announced to avoid a regional nuclear arms race, and which the US until now has respected by remaining silent.

But by publishing the declassified document from 1987, the US reportedly breached the silent agreement to keep quiet on Israel's nuclear powers for the first time ever, detailing the nuclear program in great depth."

Obama acting like a insolent child again and or showing his true colors....unreal. Americans elected a man child.
 
wait until Obama refuses to veto the UN recognition of the Palestinian nation
that will really piss bibi off

It is really getting hard to keep thinking of him as just a bumbling fool. The difference between what a "Manchurian" president and what an incompetent fool would do is getting smaller and smaller.

Lets see....

He backed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.

He created a huge Power vacuum by pulling all American Military assets out of Iraq which ffacilitiesated ISILs mumurderous campaign.

He did the same thing in Lybia. He traded 5 Terrorist for a Deserter and had his underlings perpetuate false narratives about Bergdahl serving with " honor and distinction "

He's currently teying to strike a deal with Iran that would allow them to eventually continue their nuclear weapons ambitions.

His administration stuck their nose into UMass's decision to NOT allow Iranian Nationals into any courses that would teach them Nuclear science.

UMass of-course had to change their admissions restrictions.

He iInterjected himself on a unprecedented scale into the Israeli elections and NOW he's revealed their Nuclear capabilities.

His State Department took Hamas off the Terrorist list.

I'm seeing a pattern here. Thats he's not a bumbling fool, but doing these things on purpose in a attempt to undermine the Security of one of our Allies.

And he's doing it KNOWING that his Foreign Policy decisions are going to lead to more violence.

This seems dangerous to me. A President that seeks to create more chaos instead of Security

Fundamentally changing America...
 
Does anyone really think that the rest of the world actually believed that Israel didn't have nuclear weapons because of the lack of official corroboration? I'm sure a lot of people didn't even know it was supposed to be a secret.

And the Middle east apparently.

Not really the point is it ?

This was a childish and pointless thing to do.

This is Obama....AGAIN...throwing a temper tantrum instead of acting like a adult and a Leader.

You people defend him but why is beyond me. Even if you agree with his Policies how can you defend this ?
 
Since Israel is fine with using technology that WE gave THEM to spy on US, I really couldn't care less if we keep their secrets, especially "secrets" that everyone knows about anyway.

That's actually kinda of interesting if you think of it. The US and Israel are really the only two countries preventing Palestine from becoming a UN member.

I think your'e more concerned with defending the ever increasing irrational actions of a President who's throwing a full on temper tantrum in front of God and everyone.

There is NO good reason to do this. Its childish and irresponsible and its being done by our President

This is the administration thats rebuffed FOIA and Oversight Committee request for years now disclosing information thats been held in good confidence for decades by our Government.

nd why ? Because we literally have a Man child as our President who puts his mood swings above the Security of one of our primary allies.

I'm inclined to defend him because the accusations you make against him are so overblown and absurd. If you want to argue that he (or whoever was specifically in charge of examining the documents to be declassified) should have seen this particular item and held it back, and criticized the administration for missing it or making a poor choice, with reasons why keeping it back would be important, that would be legitimate. But instead, you're talking about a "childish" "temper tantrum" and not being an "adult". Most likely this was entirely routine, not a spiteful move against Israel because of Netanyahu's speech. And most likely it has zero impact on anything in geopolitics.

I didn't vote for Obama. I think he is a horrible President and a war criminal. **** him.

That doesn't change how I feel about the current Israeli government.

Ok, then rebut my previous post where I laid out all of his Foreign Policy disasters.

Are they lies ? Or is he responsible for exactly what I posted ?

This unprecedented disclosure goes beyond just getting back at Netanyahu.

You realize that, right ? As does his " deal " with Iran.

It threatens all Israelis, not just the Conservative ones.

Yup and out of the same report Obama keeps the programs of Germany, France and Italy classified and sercret.

Obama is nothing but a whiny sniveling petty fool. He doesn't get his way so he snivels like a little girl and endangers the US's greatest ally in the region.

Yep.

He's trying to get back at Netanyahu by endangering ALL Israelis.

Don't you think Obama should have at least consulted with Israel before doing it?

Sorry, but a policy our country has had since the 80's is just as important today as it was then and changing that policy is not "routine". Add to that the fact that Obama doesn't do ANYTHING that doesn't help him politically and what we are left with is Obama thinking this is going to help him somehow. That "somehow" is the question and I have a few ideas...all of which have to do with Iran.

1. He thinks this action will put him in good light with Iran so they will be inclined to negotiate. Heck, maybe Iran set this as a condition and he is complying.

2. We know he doesn't like Israel's rhetoric, action and possible action concerning Iran. This could be a warning. Stop that stuff or we'll release even more information.

3. It's possible Obama doesn't believe Iran can be prevented from gaining a bomb, has decided that it's better to join them if he can't fight them and what better way to join them than to release confirmation about Israel's nuclear program.

Given Obama's past actions, I'm inclined to go with number 3...but either of the other two are entirely possible.
 
Yep.

He's trying to get back at Netanyahu by endangering ALL Israelis.

What the Grubercrats are not smart enough to understand is that by keeping Israel strong and secure, it benefits and protects all the muslim nations in the region,......ie so the Israeli's don't have to go exterminate them.

43 nations to seek Middle East free of WMDs - World news - Europe | NBC News

More than 40 nations, including Israel and Arab states, agreed Sunday to work for a zone free of weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East.
A final declaration from a summit launching the Union for the Mediterranean says the members will "pursue a mutually and effectively verifiable Middle East Zone free of weapons of mass destruction."

That includes nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, as well as their delivery systems, the statement says. The countries will "consider practical steps to prevent the proliferation" of such weapons, it says.

Signatories to the declaration included Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and leaders from Syria and countries across the Middle East, North Africa and Europe.

The older I get, the more I start to agree with Libertarians when it comes to ME. We should stay the **** away from that place. Not a single one of those countries is trustworthy.

So we should disown Israel in all respects ?

Why ?

All the Libertarian agenda was implemented on some scale when Obama, motivated by Political purposes pulled every last remnant of American militarily power put of Iraq.

So we went from a Iraq were people, even WOMEN were allowed to participate in a Democratic process to a Iraq thats being over run by Islamo-fascist who are murdering women, Children and anyone they see fit.

But Obama's no Libertarian. He did it I think, to appease a hard left portion of his supporters, consequences be damned.

I've always thought the Libertarian agenda when it came to foreign policy was extremely naive and short sighted.

How much can you trust an ally that leaves you open to EVERYONE calling you out on your bull****? Imagine it's 2017 and these documents are released released through one of the recent episodes of hacking and Bradley Manning types? Where exactly do we get the authority to tell other countries what to do about nuclear power when our "greatest ally" in the region has been doing whatever the hell it wants? It leaves us looking like we're full of ****. Hell, we already look like we're full of **** by "respecting" Israel's "deliberate ambiguity" on its nuclear program while telling everyone else that we'll bomb and invade if we even think they're doing the same thing.
