Good if they ever destroy Israel the Arabs will be annilatted in Israel's death throes by sub based nuclear strikes.

After reading the article by the author, I must conclude that he is either lying or does not know what has been published in readily available sources. He forgot to mention Taiwan and South Korea as having nuculear cababilities also. Israel developed their capabilities with those two and South Africa long ago. There are other countries who possess the bomb beyond his estimates.

Can we use the same source to get diesel submarines to Taiwan?

Who's leaking this? Israel? The CIA? I can see why Israel might see the benefit of doing a bit of sabre-rattling to deter something, but I'm not sure why the CIA would leak this. But Pincus is the guy on the Washington Post who generally receives CIA leaks.

The way I hear it each sub can carry maximum 3 nuke missles due to radiation shielding problems in these small subs.

Israel Has Sub-Based Atomic Arms Capability

this is old news ... I've had a picture of the German Dolphin-class submarine on my website for 3 or 4 years since they (3) were being acquired by Israel ...

why does the State Department and the Military release this now, as if it's "breaking news"? ... odd ...
