| US Declassifies Document Revealing Israel's Nuclear Program |
| 2015-03-26 |
| 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. The timing of the revelation is highly suspect, given that it came as tensions spiraled out of control between Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and US President Barack Obama ahead of Netanyahu's March 3 address in Congress, in which he warned against the dangers of Iran's nuclear program and how the deal being formed on that program leaves the Islamic regime with nuclear breakout capabilities. Another highly suspicious aspect of the document is that while the Pentagon saw fit to declassify sections on Israel's sensitive nuclear program, it kept sections on Italy, France, West Germany and other NATO countries classified, with those sections blocked out in the document. First thing I saw when I looked at Drudge this morning. Our Champ really is having himself a hissy fit. |

| #9 I look forward to 21 months of revelations that are about to roll out about the machinations of the Obama administration that will keep Drudge and other means of information (not to be confused with the Permanent Party Propaganda Machine) more than busy. Israel is not going to die for Obama, but I suspect that someone's legacy is certainly going to be in the dustbins of history. |

| #7 The Weekly Standard reported: The Pentagon’s February declassification coincided with intense pressure on the Netanyahu government by the Obama administration, trying to force the Israeli prime minister to cancel a planned speech to Congress questioning the wisdom of a highly risky nuclear deal with the Iranian regime. Pure and simple blackmail. |

| #4 Th 1987 document was released to the public. Certainly the US knows much, much more about Israel's nuclear program. Israel must reasonably assume that the US will share all intelligence on Israel with Iran. Btw if Israel should be in possession of the Khalidi tape, now would be a good time for a leak. |

| #2 Also see Pentagon declassifies report, exposes details of Israel nuke program in today's Non-WOT section. Same story, different news outlet. I scanned for duplicates before posting this article but the headline was different so I didn't catch it. There is more to this article at the link. |

| #1 He must think he's still in Chicago, where (the mayor) King Richard the First (about 1970) told the press, "Yeah, I gave the insurance contract to my son's firm; what are fathers for?" I heard it on the radio, I kid you not. And the outrage last for all of 30 .... seconds. |
