Israeli Nuclear Weapons--the WMDs that Washington (usually) dare not speak

The Media Line - News Detail

"U.S. AGAIN CALLS ON ISRAEL TO SHED NUKES… For the second time in two weeks, the Bush administration has called on Israel to foreswear the use of their nuclear weapons and adopt safeguards dictated by the International Atomic Energy Agency on all of its nuclear activities. Israeli officials are reportedly concerned by the Americans’ placing of Israel’s nuclear program on the same level as those of India and Pakistan according to the newspaper Haaretz. Analysts at The Media Line point out that the conspicuous absence of either language demanding that Israel renounce nuclear weapons or a call for a specific timetable to do so leads experts to believe that President Bush feels he must acknowledge the nuclear programs of Israel, India and Pakistan in order to have credibility as he continues to work against the nuclear programs of Iran and North Korea."
