Will we now see demands by the UN & the IAEA - Mr. Baradai and the USA for inspections, sanctions and threats as with Iran or North Korea.
Or just another definition of USA & UN hipocracy.
Will GWB & B-liar join in condemnation?

I really doubt that we are going to see the same discussion as in Iran's case,where they couldn't even prove that are building any nuclear weapon...
Of course they will say that Olmert was misunderstood and we don't have any reason to worry...No sanctions,no threats,no condemnations,it will be just another example of US and UN hypocrisy...Israel,unlike Iran,has the blessing of US to own these weapons...

Israel has possessed nuclear weapons for around 40 years (since ethe mid 60's).. its not new news.
it has never sanctioned IEA inspections.. it would only agree to US inspections of Dimona... providing it was given subtantail warning of inspection and allowed hide what it was doing.
North Korea hasn't threatened to wipe out any race, nor as far as I am aware has Iran.. ok Iran may be sophistory... you could interpet what the president of iran has said as "we dont think Israel should exist where it does", OR "we dont think Israel should exist", neither statement has yet need prooved nor has Iran actually goine that stage further to enact the second interpretation.
Lets face it: is that so differnet to Israels conduct over the formation of a Palestinian state.
North Korea using the possession of Nucvlear weapons as toll to get what it wants, its a succesfull tactic (it worked int he 90's when it got vast amounts of aid to prop up its failing economy and regime). it may well work for Iran, Heck its even worked for Israel.
Its not that long ago that Israel threatened Egypt that it would not be able to drink from the nile for hundreds of years.. wonder what that could have referred to... it could have been that Isreal will seize the nile and stop Egyptians from using it, it could have been that Israel will systematically blow up any installtion that extracts drinking water from the nuile.. it could have been that Israel will use Nukes to poison the nile... who knows.. perhaps only the Israeli politicians who made the threat, or perhaps it could be the Egyptioian politicians who recieved the threat, and interpreted what Israel meant.

No why should they. Israel have not said they wanted to wipe a race off the face of the earth like Iran and North Korea has.
Israel will let the IAEA look anytime they ask. and will not sell them to the bad guys

Isreal has them sure. And thier announcement is the first step towards depleting and reducing thier arsenal. What is to condemn there? Not that anyone should mind Isreal having them, they have proven themselves time and again and suffer yet progressively a diamond in a pile of crap of the entire region.
The reason could be for leverage and something to argue Iran's development I would think. Good thing they didn't issue me a brain though either. That might almost make sense.
put me on your Isreal lover 'to do' list if you dont mind you sell out coward.

Israels nuclear capabilities have never been a secret.It's been a know fact for 40 years.The big issue is that they never waive it in the face of pseudo waring nations (ie; Iran,Syria etc. ) Israels arsenal is held for strictly defensive purposes.Those other nations like to waive it in the faces of peaceful nations.They are a bunch of dangerous idiots.

Israel is not part of nor ever was part of the non nuclear proliferation treaty.
As such it has not obligation not to have nuclear weapons. Iran on the other hand is part.
Secondly where do you get 200 warheads? Can you prove that?

What more can I add to this that hasn't been already said, George Dubbya loves Israel and his puppet Tony Blur goes along for the ride, did you see TB's face when GB said at a conference that USA are in Iraq for the long haul and he knew it was going to be difficult.... Tony Blur looked as if he just sh*yt himself and he had been led up the garden path, classic or what?!!!!

Israel has only defended itself...something the arabs forget when they cry about how they are being occupied, they attacked first in 1967 and Israel just fought back. I would not blame them if they blew Iran off of the map. they are not ruled by a lunatic.

It's a good thing Israel has Nuclear Weapons. What do you expect Israel to do. Israel is not out to hurt anyone. It has to defend itself.

probably yes. although we all know which countries have WMD anyway, why do we think that we have the right to search other countries and condemn them when the 2 countries that probably have more WMD then the rest of the world are britain and the US.
how hypocritical are we?!
