The United States, Russia, Britain, France and China voiced support on Wednesday for making the Middle East a nuclear-weapons-free zone, which would ultimately force Israel to scrap any atomic arms it has.
The move, in a joint statement, reflected U.S. concern to win Arab backing for sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program by offering a concession over its ally Israel, but Washington says the zone cannot be actually established yet.
"We are committed to a full implementation of the 1995 NPT resolution on the Middle East and we support all ongoing efforts to this end," the five permanent U.N. Security Council members said in a statement issued at a conference taking stock of the 1970 nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
The 1995 resolution adopted by signatories of the landmark arms control treaty called for making the Middle East a zone without nuclear arms. The Jewish state has never confirmed or denied having nuclear arms.
"We are ready to consider all relevant proposals in the course of the (NPT) Review Conference in order to come to an agreed decision aimed at taking concrete steps in this direction," said the statement, which was obtained by Reuters.
U.S. support for the idea of creating such a zone in the future could be unwelcome to Israel, which has said it can only consider it once there is Middle East peace.

Are American Jews still going to vote for Democrats in November?
And if Israel tells them to stuff it? How can other countries impose this on them without their consent?
I hope the Israelis tell the Kenyan where to shove it. He doesn’t represent the people of the United States of America. The jackass is talking for the cowardly buffoons at the U.N.
Well other countries won’t be able to impose this by force of arms.Not while Israel has 250 to 750 nukes.
Just WOW - never thought I would read something like that. I would say big trouble is ahead. And I usually don’t say such things. :)
“The previous U.S. administration (Bush Administration) infuriated Arab and other non-aligned nations by refusing to reaffirm those pledges — and the call for a Middle East nuclear-arms-free zone — at the last NPT review conference in 2005. That conference was widely viewed as a failure.”
Failure for whom, for the Arab terrorists nations? Bush stood by Israel, didn’t sell her out to the Arabs, as Obama is doing now. I hope the 66% American Jewish voters, who voted for Obama, are re-thinking their votes right about now
Yup—its all about making Israel disarm so only Iran has nukes. That way when the Jews are incinerated, there will be no collateral damage. And, BTW, what about Pakistan??
Good Luck with that, Zero.
Just the fact that this is even being considered should scare the hell out of everyone on this planet.
I would say the hand writing is on the wall - IN BIG LETTERS
Yes, but once they have expended them, they have no more and then a final solution to the matter of the Jewish state can be had in accordance with Obama's vision. Regarding the destruction wrought by the use of that many nuclear weapons, well, Obama's plan realizes that there will be considerable collateral damage. But that is an acceptable price to him for finally resolving the problem of the Jewish state.

New ‘nuke-free’ strategy blurs distinction between West, radical regimes
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3886103,00.html
“The new American strategy also blurs the distinction between the very possession of nukes and the nature of the governments holding them. The problem does not have to do with the weapons held by the US, Britain, France, India, or Israel. The main issue has to do with radical, authoritative and violent regimes such as Iran, which threatens to destroy Israel and turn all Mideastern regimes into radical Islamic ones.
A discussion of a nuke-free Middle East means exclusive preoccupation with Israel’s nuclear program. Iran won’t cease its effort to acquire nukes, and the preoccupation with Israel will merely serve Tehran’s aims by diverting some attention away from it. “
Does the term GTH 0 mean anything?
Time to be gearing up for “Bibi and the Jets”.
Everyone knows that Israel doesn’t have the bomb.
One thing is for sure,Mecca and Medina will be a not so fond memory.Tehran and Istanbul will get smoked too.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Yeah, good luck Barry. BTW, your forthcoming mideast peace negotiations headed by George The Mitchell, hero of Irish peace, they depend on trust. Think Israel trusts the face of America you present to the world? The sad part, the palestinians wouldn't trust you as far as they could spit either.
