US Says it supplied nuclear missiles for Israeli subs.

It there any doubt about who the real axis of evil is composed of and who is really responsible for the chaos and deaths in the ME. We supply all sides with weapons and then feign scorn for the people using them like Saddam and Sharon.

1. sounds like the US is supporting terrorists
since the Israelies have proved time and time and time again that they have genocidal intentions.

2. Think this is a non-starter
This story has been poo-pooed by a lot of people, including defense experts at Jane's who've said it's impossible to put a nuke on a Harpoon. The warhead on a Harpoon only weighs 480 lbs, which would be a pretty advanced nuke. The USN never put a nuculear warhead on a Harpoon, and any weapon that was nuculear capable during the Cold War was nuke-equipped in some version. The headline is misleading anyway: the Times story said that Israel had modified US supplied missiles to mount warheads, not that the "US Says it supplied nuclear missiles for Israeli subs".
