What are we waiting for?
I’m sure Israel...and everyone else for that matter...has war gamed all kinds of different scenarios for blowing up various stuff with high yield explosives including nuclear. Doesn’t mean they are actually going to do it.
Somebody wake me when the show starts, I think these folks have been watching too much WCW.
If it’s true, where can we send contributions for fuel?
I believe I’ve read before that Israel uses this paper and some reporters to put out stories (without attribution to themselves in the Israeli government) in order to gauge world opinion, ahead of some action they are planning. And also, they do it to soften up and get world opinion used to an idea or plan of action they are contemplating.
This could be what is going on here...

Gee, maybe the Japanese should have told us what they planned before pearl Harbor? Then again, we gave them enough warning before Hiroshima. Maybe there is a message here for Iran? Ah, but the Mullahs will take defensive measures like moving daycare centers to the site.
Well ... they're secret with me, but ... I'm not so sure about you.
Uzi’s been hitting the Uzo again.
This is the same “journalist” who reported that the Jews were developing a genetically based bio weapon that would only kill Arabs. LOL
No doubt Iran has a nuclear strike planned against Israel.
Secret eh?
Shhhhhhhhhhhh
Given what the Iranian President has said in public about Israel, IMHO, the Israelis would be foolish not to have established some type of contingency plans such as this.
I doubt that Israel will use nukes. Proper conventional bunker buster bombs will do the desired outcome.
Plus, on the world stage, like that really matters, Israel would lose whatever moral high-ground might be perceived by others. (I use "whatever moral high-ground might be perceived by others", simply because with the rest of the world, Israel never seems to have any moral high-ground, no matter what they do, or don't do.) How can one country use nuke weapons, to stop another country from developing a nuclear "energy" program. It would seem rather hypocritical (if viewed strictly from how the actual facts will be spun, not by what the actual facts truly present) to use the very force they accuse the other of trying to obtain.
Besides, Israel has never admitted to having nuke weapons. It has never been adequately confirmed either. Just alot of educated "speculation".
If Israel uses nukes, it then confirms they have them.
If they use them in a first strike offensive, it will validate (in their own minds) that every mid east country needs and deserves nukes, because of the existence of a nuke armed and aggressive Israel. It would also weaken the U.S.'s defense to the rest of the world who would seek retaliation or finger pointing at Israel.
There was an article in Scientific American in the last two years about nuclear bunker busters. I tried to access it but it is by subscription. As I remember, the article said the weapons were impractical because they raise the level of any conflict from conventional to nuclear and poison the immediate area which could later endanger friendly occupying troops. The article went on to describe a theoretical high explosive penetrator that could almost match the nuke penetrator in the U.S. arsenal.
This is a link to the nuclear penetrator:

Israel’s ready to go, let’s join ‘em. They know what they’re dealing with, unfortunately our Congress and many people here refuse to recognize it.
I don’t blame them.
