Israel and Nuclear Opacity

Israel and Nuclear Opacity: "Readers have probably already noted that Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert ventured beyond the carefully worded description of Israel's nuclear status — Israel will not be the first country to introduce nuclear arms in the region — in effect confirming Israel's possession of nuclear weapons. Olmert, after making the standard statments, objected to comparing Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons with that of the United States, France, Russia — and Israel.

Oops."
