Israel has never even hinted at using nuclear weapons against Iran.
....heh....
Then again, it may not....but I wouldn't bet my lunch money on it..... |
Obama's new version of U.S. nuclear strategy unveiled Tuesday significantly narrows the circumstances in which Americans would employ nuclear arms. But it does allow their use against rogue states like Iran.
While that's hardly a green light for Israel, former Central Intelligence Agency official Philip Giraldi notes: "Israel is fast becoming a pariah nation ... Like South Africa, the Israeli response to criticism has been to become more reactionary ... waging unending war against its neighbors to maintain cohesion against foreign enemies.
| Mr. Giraldi is unfamiliar with the region's history. One hopes the CIA had him working in a different section. |
"There is a certain danger in isolating the Israelis too much as it ... might influence a dangerously unstable government to take action that might include exploiting its nuclear arsenal in search of Armageddon." |
