While I agree that it is widely believed that Israel has nuclear weapons, they have never to my knowledge publicly admitted it, nor have they ever done any testing, above or below ground to that end. The best one can say is that it is believed that Israel has nuclear weapons, there is NO formal proof, although they do have the brainpower, plutonium, and machining expertise! BTW, that Arrow system is really something. Pretty soon, you'll want some of those babies protecting your buts in Monaco.

Why scared ? Because I tell you I think the Israeli nuke thing could very well be their last hoax ? Look what they have to gain... Anyway those theories were meant against Moskva. So true or not we won't know. Because if Saddam strikes Israel heavy, it'll be the IDF tanks that will be directing the traffic in downtown Bagdad soon enough. And it'll be a much easier for Sharon to conduct that trip than when he had to cross the Canal in 73. Should cost less IDF lives too. The canal was 500. Heavy for Israel! But it was the key for a victory that Sadate fully understood and led him to "envision" peace. Great! OK, I accept to say that it's Allah in his Infinite Wisdom that showed Saddate the way, not Sharon. Great just the same! And I have reasons to suspect Sharon of wanting to go down in history not only as the guy who changed the fate of a surprise blitz krieg never seen before, but the guy who played clean and cleaned Saddham. So, a Mano al mano, Zonder. Not nukes! You should read his memoirs. When he wrote them ten years ago, he never thought he'd be PM one day. So he wrote... Anyway Bush may not let it happen. Like in any decent Western he must have told Sharon: " Live him for me."
