DOD Report Details Israel's Quest for Hydrogen Bomb (Obama releases intel on Israeli nuke program)

In the midst of controversy over the Israeli prime minister's plans to address Congress next month, a researcher has won the release of a decades-old Defense Department report detailing the U.S. government's extensive help to Israel in that nation's development of a nuclear bomb.

"I am struck by the degree of cooperation on specialized war making devices between Israel and the US," said Roger Mattson, a former memer of the Atomic Energy Commission technical staff.

The 1987 report, "Critical Technology Assessment in Israel and NATO Nations," compares the key Israeli facilities developing nuclear weapons to Los Alamos and Oak Ridge National Laboratories, the principal U.S. laboratories that developed the bomb for the United States.

The tightly held report notes that the Israelis are "developing the kind of codes which will enable them to make hydrogen bombs. That is, codes which detail fission and fusion processes on a microscopic and macroscopic level."

The article behind the link is even more interesting. Have a look at comment #118. Isn't anyone commenting here curious about who is behind the "Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy?"

it seems like it is now every day that a new sleight or a new attack comes from this admin

[familyop]

So now we know that according to the article behind your link, "The government fought to delay release of the 386-page report", and that Grant Smith, of the Institute for Research Middle Eastern Policy sued the government to force release of the report.

After a little research of the Web, I found that Grant Smith is a Libertarian who opposes "neo-cons." Antiwar.com has published his propaganda, as it has done for Pat Buchanan.

We all know what that means. Hitler's religious followers continue to get more slick and slippery, and some of their friends are reading this.

Enemy in the White House.

Yep.

I hate thinking about what the next 2 years will be like.

Write this down: They have thermonuclear weapons.

[onedoug]

Last time I checked my Constitution it’s the Congress that legislates, not the President.

[Dartman]

A valid response is that Pakistan has had them for over a decade without using them.

Pakistan has NEVER been a friend of the West. Some misinformed American governments may have previously thought so, but, no.

[Dartman]

Time for the Mossad to release their dossier on Obama.

Bring it !!

[Colorado Doug]

Israelis are "developing the kind of codes which will enable them to make hydrogen bombs.

I see no smoking gun here. The codes might have been lost in an unfortunate boating accident.

[2harddrive]

Pakistan and India may not have THERMOnuclear weapons, though. Then again, they MIGHT. Unlike the gun-barrel uranium fission bombs, though, it is important to TEST them! And I have heard of no evidence of that, whereas I have heard of joint Israeli/South African nuclear tests, before the blacks took over in South Africa.

compares the key Israeli facilities developing nuclear weapons to Los Alamos

I doubt there are as many muslims working at Israel’s labs as there are at Los Alamos.

[DoughtyOne]

Still say Obama has the intellect of a nine year old.

At that I’m probably being generous.

And folks, don’t come back with he knows exactly what he is doing.

So do bank robbers. Most get caught and some ways their lives are over.

Obama’s daughters will have to live with the aftermath of what this ass hat clown has done.

Actually, a nutron bomb is an enhanced radiation weapon. Save the buildings; kill every living thing.

[Jumper]

Russia or the USSR first deployed the Neutron bomb and the US got the technology from them. If a Jewish Russian scientist did the research then so be it.

To quantify the difference in nuclear and neutron bombs, one leaves behind a radiation footprint similar to Chernobyl. The other, the neutron bomb allows an occupying force to re-enter the detonation zone at a period of six weeks without danger to humans. The buildings can be used again. But with a nuclear bomb you can create a radiation zone or belt that makes it impossible to traverse if only 200-miles wide without the humans dying. Both bombs create radiation that kills within 1-4 days. The beauty of the neutron bomb is that it can be fired from artillery and is very small compared to nuclear delivery systems.

An alternative history to the Sam Cohen story?

[Jumper]

Thanks for bringing up Sam as It was my understanding that the US took Russian devices and eventually reverse engineered them for deployment on US artillery systems. We may have also got the A-10 form Russian design.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t learn a lot more about Obama after this. Mossad probably has a complete dossier on Obama and his fellow travelers.

[enduserindy]

I don’t think it is valid. Pakistan has crazy people and a fairly rational government. Iran is the opposite.
