As countries debate on a nuclear-free Middle East at a UN conference in New York, the US has declassified a secret report revealing its atomic dealings with Israel in the 1950s-1960s.
It took Washington more than thirty years to disclose a document, which suggests that between 1957 and 1967 it had supplied Israel with weapon-grade enriched uranium.
The authors of the report have stated that the document is unlikely to affect the US-Israeli relations, citing Washington’s support for Jerusalem as the reason.
Political analyst Mitchell Barak believes that supporting Israel’s nuclear weapon capability is still one of Washington’s priorities.
“I don’t think it is a secret that it is in the best interest of the United States that Israel possess some nuclear capability,” political analyst Mitchell Barak said. “It is the most stable thing for the region and it will actually help the surrounding countries as well.”

US Politicians demonizing immigrants without causeCrime on the US-Mexico border is down and violence on the American side is greatly reduced, but you would never know it from listening to American politicians. |
The problem here is: Who is credible? Who is doing things out of international laws? Clearly only the US has this "privilege" to do everything without any restriction! The story of the powerful hability of the Israel state in Science and Technology is really a big lie
This is no revelation, just that the document is now out in the open. But, it isn't just the USA and Israel who don't want Iran to have a nuclear weapon. Most of the Arab world is against it, and will acquire their own if Iran ever get nuclear weapons. In such a volatile region, do we really want the spread on nuclear weapons?

Mr.Putin and Mr. Medvedev can do whatever they want, however the USA can't? Oh, that's right, your drinking the "Russian" Kool-Aid.
