Nino: "Is it a requirement for soemone to have gone to Israel in order to believe soemthing?" Of course not but neither can a person then definatively offer ther a statement one way or another.
"Did I hope to change Nino's mind?" Of course not. I would not even engage yo were it for the thought that soemwhere out there in the ther there is an objective person or two who might one day happen upon this genera hate fest and find themself curious about what is really going on in that part of the world (as opposed to the propaganda being floated here).
Mike: "No containment." Perhaps you missed the sentence about it not being compelted, having only beein in the preliminary stages. The idea is to get it before it can bite.
One need only consider how quickly Assad got the debris removed. He did so in a phenomenal amount of time. To do so means that he did not want any scrutiny at all. Seems like it fits to me even if I did not have faith in my govt.
Sleater: "US Military paper on it, so Israel DOES have it." Um, the guy is an MD with pilot rating (non-combat). He is not an analyst. He is not an NBC expert. He is not a gropoliticist and neither does his views mean squat. Read the disclaimer and then read his into. His sources were non-Intel. He is just hitting the Net, drawing his own conclusions.
Having been to both US and Israeli military colleges I can tell you that briefs mean absolutely nothing. They are not commissioned papers. Anyone can submit one for publication and in the end papers like this just gather dust.
He says that France repaid Israel with materials. That is a lie. I can tell you that straight off. Perhaps he did not mean to lie anmd simply offered conjecture but he dsid not leave room for thought. He made a definative statement and one that is totally incorrect.
"France constructed..." Again, lie.That one is easy to prove. Anyone interested, simply look it up. The initial construction is totally unclassified.
"Israel used the nuclear issue as a bargaining chip over the heads of the US to obtain continued arms sales." Now here is where I begint o doubt that this person is even associated with the US Military. Fact is, Israel did not receive ANY arms from the US until after 1961. This came to fruition after Israel agreed to allow a US team to inspect Dimona with unfettered access.
The US team signed off on a seal of good conduct and the US opend the stockhouses on a limited deal. It was pretty much a one time offering though and the next arms deal did not take place until just short of the 67 War. It only happened then, under LBJ, because the US was terrified of the USSR gaining regional supremacy, as it seemd posied to do.
"Israel deployed nukes in the 73 War." I think it is clear that the man is a fraud. No US Military man would make a definiative assertion like this. If I really cared i sould spend alot of money to call the States on that number listed to ascertain the validity of the paper. As it is, I would not spend 10 minutes of my time, let alone 10 US dollars on the call.
I will send off an email or two though and see if it sates my curiosity. Having seen umpteenth papers on similar issues I have to say that I have NEVER seen something definative on an issue not even touched upon by his govt. It is just ludicrous.The definiative statements combined with total inaccuracy makwes me really doubt its veracity.
Finally, I have never seen a US (or other) military paper with a religious heading /title.
