Discussing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus 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.

If Israel were to nuke Iran back to the 7th century then aside from the radiation, would anybody notice a difference?
The good news is they have over 200.
The bad news comes in several parts:
One they have over 200 which means less than 300 and that many of these are MIRVed.
Two, this clearly does not include the neutron type of missiles and bombs that they have for potential istock.
Number Three, they have numerous neutron devices that they would more likely classify as tactical’s instead of nukes.
Four. Israel is not a member of the nuclear nonproliferation Treaties regarding such items and are free to classify them and count them anyway they choose or choose not to. Powell knows this.
This is not something one wants in an email to a donor. I recall this jerk from Korea, but; his mouth is more of his problem now.
I beg to differ.
This is an acknowledgement by a past SOS who was in a position to know, that Israel has 200 nukes. That's something Israel has never acknowledged and something the US Government is obligated to keep officially secret.
And such information is most certainly, when combined with a specific number, classified SECRET NOFORN inside the US Government.
Colin Powell is guilty of the same crime Clinton is.
Israel is UNBELIEVABLE!!! IF it ever calms down, GO!!!!
You answered a question I asked later on.
The bad news doesn’t sound like bad news. I just dont know enough about the different kinds of weapons to know what’s good or not
Your question contains the answer.
I wont lose sleep over it tonight.
I definitely plan to. :)
Shhh! Mum’s the word. Powell.
You shouldn’t have been emailing such information.
The only positive, is that this information is at least two years old. No telling how much they have now. Just make sure Biden never knows.
Exactly. Why don’t they zip it.
Exactly. Why don’t they zip it.
not a surprise.
but powell should not be sharing that fact with anyone in an email.
Just wait for a LULL....there is NEVER PEACE!!
Nah. 10, maybe 20.
But the first three should be targeted at Mecca, Medina, and only then at Saudi Arabia’s capital. Then throw the others at Iran.
This is why Trump needs to win and sweep in intelligent, commonsensical people into office and clean up the computer systems.
You are a person of integrity; Powell is not. That is why he is rich, greedy, and endlessly self-promoting. You are humble and self-effacing. See the difference?
That’s about what I guessed!
This is nothing new. 20 years ago Seymour Hersh asserted the same thing in his book The Samson Option.
You could pretty well turn the muzlim ME into a glass-surfaced vacant lot with 200 properly spaced nukes.....JMHO.
