Nuclear? That was the issue discussed. Here is a good history of Israel's nuclear program Seems the US role in their nuclear development was: During the fifties and early sixties a number of attempts by Israel to obtain security guarantees from the US, thus effectively placing Israel under the US nuclear umbrella in a manner similar to NATO or Japan, were rebuffed.

Speaking of Israel, Saddam is kissing up to Sharon. Will this turn some here against Saddam? From the Tehran Times: It seems that Saddam is clutching at every straw to survive. In his latest move to stay in power, Saddam sent his chief spy to Israel, an informed source told the TEHRAN TIMES. In a meeting between the Iraqi chief spy and a son of Israel's Ariel Sharon, Saddam sent the following message to the Israelis: If Israel convinced the United States not to attack Iraq, as a quid pro quo Iraq will officially apologize to Israel for supporting the Palestinians; Iraq will accommodate two million Palestinians and will grant them Iraqi nationality; and Iraq will supply 350,000 barrels of oil to Israel every day. The Israelis told the Iraq chief spy that they will respond after the elections. tehrantimes.com Regime change anyone?
