I'll follow my conspiracy with your line of thinking and say that Israel doesn't care about the world knowing, it cares about it's enemies thinking that it has the bomb to prevent them from doing another all-out attack. The leak that they (supposedly) had the bomb came after there was a war in which they didn't use it.
Iraq invaded Kuwait and tried to annex it. They shot missiles at Saudi Arabia, Israel and other places. They pissed off a LOT of people and they had to at least seem like they had a 'hold card' to keep them alive. Problem is, they were already in the dog house with the UN and America so there were investigations into if they actually had them. On the whole, the Iraq war is their own fault for implying through action, inaction and blocking of inspectors that they had them. But that's only one reason in a long list for (and against) the war. > On 3/17/06, Michael Dinowitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Now for the conspiracy theory. Israel has no nukes. They never did.
