Israel deserves our loyalty and moral support as the only legitimate regime in the middle east...at least until Iraq. But they are way over the line in terms of taking advantage of the friendship. It is one thing to support them. It is quite another to let them sell our missile technology to the Chi-coms and now possibly nuke related maerial to India Pakistan.
No way Jose Karni shuffles around the globe and Mossad misses that.
Its one thing to run a sting ...its another to feed critical components ...and use the track to gain further access inside.
One wonders if Karni is part of A.Q. Khans decade plus nuke shell game.
A.Q. Khan lasted aslong as he did...due to tacit approval of many Gov's....who would have gag order supplication on the U.S. to not disclose.
Call it chips for Dubbya to call in when he desires.
I have a bad feeling whole intact Russian nuclear warheads for Cruise missiles and Ballistic have been in Egypt,Syria,Iran, for near a decade now.
Libya was likely part of the group too.
The 4 would build cruise missiles and such off Russian designs and actuall working inventory.
Set up for production line.
Iran and N.K. the nuclear material for the warheads.
Even though these nations get allong tenatively...,its possible they formed a strategic alliance.
IAEA discovered signature Nuclear research activity in Egypt.
Article excerpt:
A few months ago we denied these kinds of claims and we do so again," Egyptian government spokesman Magdy Rady said. "Nothing about our nuclear program is secret and there is nothing that is not known to the IAEA."
But one of the diplomats said the Egyptians "tried to produce various components of uranium" without declaring it to the IAEA, as they were bound to under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. The products included several pounds of uranium metal and uranium tetrafluoride — a precursor to uranium hexafluoride gas, the diplomat said on condition of anonymity.
Uranium metal can be processed into plutonium, while uranium hexafluoride can be enriched into weapons-grade uranium — both for use in the core of nuclear warheads.

Those Ukrainian KH 55 cruise missiles which suddenly turned up were part of the engineering set up for larger production In my thinking.
There is no evidence here that Asher Karni- a resident of South Africa- did anything with the permission of the Israeli government, any more than he did it with the permission of the US government.
