I don't believe Psalm 83 is that far off... These may come in handy in the near future!

I think they mean “Thank Nixon.”

[ClearCase_guy]

The problems of the world in 2014?

Ummmmmmmm ... Nixon's Fault?

(smell the desperation)

[Sacajaweau]

And Korea has the bomb thanks to whom??

[FLCowboy,]

I guess the “Blame Bush” crowd has decided to spread the blame, and Reagan and Ford were busy this weekend. Wonder what Ike was doing this weekend.

The tone of the piece comes across that it is a negative that Israel has that capability. It is good they can defend themselves.

[CyberAnt]

Israel kept it secret for years and years. But, in late 70’s or early 80’s, it was revealed.

And .. I agree .. I’ve very glad Israel has nukes .. they may possibly need them to survive.

Isaiah 17:1 - “Woe to Damascus, it has been taken away from being a city, it has become a ruinous heap.”

It’s possible that only a nuke could do that .. we need to remember that when Isaiah gave that prophecy, Damascus was the only city listed in that region - and it was not even noted yet to be a country called “Syria”.

My concern now is for our military who are now in that region. Much intercession needed.

You joined today to post this?
Why do you sound like one of the people who protested Ted Cruz?

With the memories of the 1968 and 1972 wars, there is no reason to BLAME Nixon, in aiding a sovereign free Israel have the upper hand of all the Arab nations that wish Israel, gone.

[Will88]

Okay, I’ll give Nixon the credit.

Psalm 83 keeps sounding closer ever day....

[Steely Tom]

I’m glad Israel has the Bomb.

[Fresh Wind]

Nixon was Bush’s fault.

[Bringbackthedraft]

One bomb in Israel’s hands is better than 100 tanks.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

I am glad they have the bomb.
I am glad they have a small fleet of submarines that have nuclear tipped missles.
I believe that Israel is the apple of God’s eye. And that those who bless Israel are blessed and those who curse Israel are cursed.
Now, having the ability to bomb their enemies into the abyss is a nice bit of leverage. Amen

Realistically, what was he going to do to stop them?

It was the Cold War and he wasn't going to get in their way.

[faithhopecharity]

They had it before Nixon....
(but Nixon did help them, at least by not trying to interfer when they told him what they were doing...... in their advance beyond to more advanced weapons (and delivery means)

Nixon therefore does deserve good credit...

[silverleaf]

I like that Israel has the bomb.

It’s the Billie Holiday Doctrine of nuclear politics: Mama may have, Papa may have, but God bless the child that’s got his own.

[Georgia Girl 2]

I can’t think of a better country to have the bomb than Israel.
