Drudge’s Current Headline: “Secret Defense Report Shows Israel Owns 82 Nuke Weapons”
Uh Drudge, this so isn’t new news! Were you still thinking that the plant was still a “Textile Factory”?
Here’s what FAS has on Israel’s nuclear program (there are links to more sources at the bottom of the page). And here’s something by MSNBC . Also see this page on Avner Cohen’s book “Israel and the Bomb”….
It’s nothing new Drudge! It’s an open secret–even though the Israeli gov’t has a policy of denying it. And for the record, Mordechai Vanunu who formally “outted the program” is a traitor.
Here’s a color spy picture from 2000
Donald Luskin points out that in today’s issue of the NYT, Tom Friedman (Brandeis ’75) “praises the long-run advantages of free trade and outsourcing as sources of economic growth and dynamism”
However, in typical NYT fashion, he brings in commentary from Fmr. Sec. Labor and current Brandeis Professor Robert Reich…
I think that Friedman should stick to writing on the Mid-East, at least when he’s doing a good job with it (unlike some recent columns).
Is there some sort of Brandeis conspiracy going on here between Reich and Friedman? One can only wonder…
Update: Looks like the Friedman/Reich idea is a logical fallacy. But it does reflect what the campus “labor coalition” is trying to do on campus…..hmmm….
I know that I made a prior post on this, but since then the story has built up a bit.
Apparently Kerry sent a letter to Bush…what are the odds that Bush actually gets the letter? And if he does, how long till he gets it? One, two months?
Back to the serious side of things (more…)
It’s that time again! Time for gratuitous military pr0n!
Today’s installment is Israel’s newest aircraft–the F-16i Soufa!
Made by Lockheed-Martin in Texas, and incorporating the best of Israeli and American military technology, the F-16i Soufa will strengthen Israel’s deterrence. Don’t believe me? Just read about it here
And without further ado–the pictures!
Just as I was getting ready for bed, I opened my email and got word of a bus bombing in Israel.
The bus was on Rehov Keren Hayesod right next to Gan Hapamon (“Independence Bell Park“).
At least 8 fatalities, 62 Injured; 10 Critical; (as of this point in time–I’m watching Israeli TV)
This is really bothersome as I’ve been at this location before–numerous times while in Israel. It’s right near the Inbal Hotel (Formerly known as the Larome Hotel) . Right now there’s also a meeitng of American Jewish leaders at the Inbal.
The “Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade” part of the “Fatah” movement run by Yasser Arafat took responsibility for the attack.
Where this attack took place is a very high trafficked intersection (vehicle and pedestrian)…
Hague or no Hague, there better be some swift and severe retaliation for this!
Update 0245 EST–The death toll is up to 7, at least one person died on the operating table in the OR.
And there were children riding to school on the bus…..
Update 1125EST — Israeli TV is reporting that the death toll is now up to 8. While analyzing the remains, a pathologist discovered that there were the remains of another individual as well.
