The US has strongly condemned the transfer of missile technology if it was felt that there was even a remote possibility of it being used for nuclear delivery. But it's a case of plausible deniability, Neolib. If the Israelis don't tell us they are going to tip them with nuclear missiles, we don't know what they are going to do. Hell, they may just tip them with conventional "bunker busters". We've been selling aircraft to the Israelis for years now, and all of them are capable of delivering nuclear weapons. I admit that it's a dangerous technical line that's being drawn. But it's a far cry from what Sly reported as "official", but unsourced, admission that the US was supplying Israel with missiles for the purpose of tipping them with Nukes. Selling missiles is not impeachable. Doing so with full intent that Israel, a non-signator to the NPT, would be, IMO. Hawk

Whats your take on India deal? I am not sure but for me there is a big difference between dem india and iran/nk. India went nuke because of china and the fear of border wars escalating and india being blackmailed. Then of course Pak got nukes to offset blood enemy india. Unfortunate buy understandable. Hell and china originally went nuclear just as much for fear of USSR as USA. Iran has no nuclear opponent, albeit they have been working hard to create one. And the threatening nature of the regime makes one wonder if iran is getting nukes to deter or to threaten and use. This world is getting too complex for me. We better get a good choice in 2008, if we are lucky enough to survive. Truth is bush is only half the problem--the other half are the idiots the dems ran against him twice.
