In leaked emails, Colin Powell says Israel has 200 nukes
Times of Israel ^

Posted on 09/15/2016 3:41:42 PM PDT by ameribbean expat

Discussing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s March 2015 speech to Congress about the dangers posed by the Iranian nuclear deal, in an email he sent to US Democratic party donor Jeffrey Leeds, Powell wrote that he doubted the Iranian regime would use an atomic bomb even if it could get one, since “the boys in Tehran know Israel has 200, all targeted on Tehran, and we have thousands.”

Its is a lie all 200 are on Tehran.

They dont need all 200 at just one target to destroy that target. Even though its large.

Well 200’s a lot!! :)

6 million people in a place that ain’t so big.

We’ve got thousands but SO MUCH open space.

Never been to Israel but I assume there’s not a lot of land just waiting for a nuke to be under it. :)

I guess they are on ships and jets.

Anybody who knows about the subject more than me (which is almost everybody) please jump in :)

I fully expect the mosad to somehow run a covert op to discredit Powell as clinically insane ...

200 nukes,

20 aimed at Iran’s major cities, 20 aimed at the capitals of the various Arab countries bording them, 20 aimed at countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan, Libya, Indonesia, and some former soviet Islamic hell holes. a good dozen aimed at mecca, medina, and the major cities of saudi arabia. The rest ~ 100 ready to take new coordinates via EMP hardedned telecom lines.

Can I ask a stupid question?

Why are we suddenly hearing about Colin Powell’s email???

Is this punishment from someone, because Powell wouldn’t go along with being blamed for Hillary’s email mess???

Powell has definitely been revealed by his own emails to be quite the little name-dropping social butterfly. Most of it is pathetic social climbing, but that description of Bubba will become the new gold standard.

Louis Farrakhan

Preaching directly from the Quran before a packed Baptist church, the Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan told his adoring audience that violent retaliation is the only way for American blacks to “rise up” and overthrow their white oppressors.

“I’m looking for ten thousand in the midst of the million. Ten thousand men who say, ‘Death is sweeter than continued life under tyranny,'” Farrakhan told the congregants at Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Miami in a speech that he posted on his Facebook page earlier this week.

He then launched into a poetic tirade against whites backed up with Quranic verse.

“Death is sweeter than to continue to live and bury our children, while white folks give the killer hamburgers.

“Death is sweeter, than watching us slaughter each other, to the joy of a 400-year-old enemy. Yes, death is sweeter.

“The Quran teaches persecution is worse than slaughter. Then it says, ‘Retaliation is prescribed in matters of the slain.’ Retaliation is a prescription from God, to calm the breast of those whose children have been slain.

“So if the federal government will not intercede in our affairs, then we must rise up and kill those who kill us. Stalk them and kill them and let them feel the pain of death that we are feeling.”

“Powell wrote that he doubted the Iranian regime would use an atomic bomb even if it could get one”

Oh yeah, Israel can take that to the bank. Because Powell said so.

Why was he discussing this on an unclassified network? I worked on classified networks for 30 years, and information I had access to during the Reagan administration I don’t talk about to this day or even acknowledge if such information has been released to the public. What is wrong with these idiots in DC?
