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.”

Powell wasn’t a Rhodes Scholar.

What a nasty old whiny bitch he has been exposed as, someone who maliciously gossips like a wash-woman, who admits to throwing tantrums to get his way, and crybabies because he can’t charge what he thinks he’s worth, because the Clintons ruined it for him.

I am literally disgusted by him, in knowing he held men & women’s lives in his hands, and had so little respect for them. Talking about the “bimbos” Bill is “dicking”, and calling ppl who support Trump poor white trash....

What a punk.

Lol. “”“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.””

I guess he wants 10,000 black men to die?

“”Death is sweeter than continued life under tyranny,’””

What a kook.

Here’s some analysis from Irving Kristol’s mouthpiece:

http://nationalinterest.org/feature/welcome-israeli-nuclear-weapons-101-13882

...In 2008, President Jimmy Carter estimated that Israel probably had a minimum of 150 weapons in stock ready to use if the most dire circumstances warrant. Six years later, the former President revised that estimate and put the figure in the 300 range, which...

...Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif told reporters at the United Nations at the height of the P5+1-Iran nuclear talks that Israel is “sitting on 400 nuclear warheads.”

The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists believes...A better figure... is “sixty-five to eighty-five warheads” as cited in a Rand Corporation study.

To put it bluntly, the world doesn’t have a clue about how many nukes Israel possesses...

...200, all targeted on Tehran...

Seems really wasteful when five or six would do the trick.

“”Death is sweeter than continued life under tyranny,’”

With all due respect: If a Patriot said the same, would he be a kook?

I’ll bet it’s not half that, but the BS artists within Mossad have deliberately inflated foreign estimates of our capabilities. If they could, they’d let everyone believe we have five hundred.
