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.”

I always thought the best strategy against the mullahs is an EMP pop over Teheran. Their command & control is decapitated instantly and the entire country could dissolve into insurrection within hours with mullahs & ayatollahs dangling from lamp posts everywhere.

Anyway, Colon Bowel is an embarrassment to the uniform. Wonder if he shares Obama’s opinion of Netanyahu?

No, I think he (Putin) “knows” Trump as an American patriot. He (Putin) knows where Trump will stand on issues that matter, and how Trump will react and respond to a problem and to a new issue.

Hillary?

She is “For Sale” ... and HAS BEEN SOLD (already) to the highest bidder, to the latest highest bidder. Many, many times. So, who paid Hillary the most, who paid her lately, who paid her last?
Putin doesn’t know. Can’t know.

Exactly. There are things that I was privy to when I worked for the letter agencies - Things that are today completely known and talked about.

But hell if they are going to be talked about by me.

It’s not bad news for Israel’s supporters... I was being a bit “cynical”.

Israel has several KNOWN submarine programs underway and lots of their own satellite magic to tap. It is extremely doubtful that any Arab or Iranian “so called” asset is not fully vulnerable.

Years ago I was told “oh no of course not, not any longer... Israel and the usa don’t have any functioning Neutron type of war head development or deployment strategy at all!”

really?
ROFL...

David had collected several several smooth stones in his bag... not because he feared missing the target, but because Goliath had several brothers. Israel does NOT throw away any necessary “smooth stones”... due to that “goliath” thing David established as a first military principle. I Samuel 17:40.
Good principle.

WE should all appropriate that strategy if we have not already.

ie... if you can take down the corruption in the executive branch... you should have enough in the tank, to take down the corruption in the Congress, and Judicial, State and local “goliath’s” that are left to cause problems.

Poor Colin - still back fighting the cold war when our adversary was relatively sane and didn't want to be annihilated - Iran and the radical Muslims can't wait for Armageddon - the bigger the conflagration the better - the quicker that holy man will come crawling out of that well where he's been hiding for five hundred years.....

What if Israel nukes the well first?

Powell really isn’t very bright, is he?

I dunno, what do you expect from a Rhodes Scholar?

” 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.”

50 years ago my father worked on some classified weapons program. Last year I asked him what that program involved, figuring that it might be public information by now. Or that at 95 I’d catch him off guard. Not a chance. He said “you don’t have the clearance” and that was that.

Some people can keep a secret.

Great story! I hope I get the chance to see if I can reach my 90s and not spill the beans like your father.

Powell wasn’t a Rhodes Scholar.

I suspect that you are cut from the same cloth that he is. And if you make it to 95 you won’t share what secrets you know any more than he will.
