Does Barack Obama Plan to Emasculate
Israel’s Alleged Nuclear Deterrence?
by Emanuel A. Winston,
Freeman Center Mid East analyst & commentator
President-elect Barack Obama plans to "get tough" on Israel’s alleged nuclear weapons. This is not new policy from the U.S. State Department.
October 30 to November 1, 1991 Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir attended the Madrid International "Peace" Conference. He was urged not to go but, he ignored the warnings. He assumed he could handle everything. As predicted, Israel was facing "Kangaroo Court".
Shamir and the other Israelis present were thrust into an ambush arranged by then Secretary of State James Baker III and Baker’s 3 infamous Jew-boys (as they came to be known): Dennis Ross, Aaron David Miller and Daniel Kurtzer. These 3 were selected by Baker because they were ambitious, Leftist Jews and could be depended upon to take their marching orders from Baker and the ever pro-Arab U.S. State Department.
They are now advising Obama on how best to deal with Israel, as they did before.
While they denied playing any significant role at the Madrid Conference, it was reported by those present that they bounced from room to room, pressuring, making recommendations and otherwise guiding the tenor of those meetings.
While Ross, Miller and Kurtzer were doing their lobbying, mostly biased toward the Muslim Arab countries’ position, I had an uneasy thought. I sensed and wrote then that I thought the Baker team would urge some Arab Muslim country’s representative to ask for a "Nuclear-Free Zone" in the Middle East. Sure enough, near the end of the Conference, like a well-oiled scheme, the Egyptian representative did ask for a "Nuclear-Free Zone", in effect, to eliminate Israel’s deterrence to enemies who far out-number her.
Since it was well-known that Israel probably had a Nuclear Deterrence (and was the only country in the area to be so endowed) clearly, the objective of this proclamation was, as pre-planned, to eliminate Israel’s deterrent capability. If Israel obeyed those "diktats" that would translate into Israel having to face Muslim Arab aggression with conventional weapons only and limited man-power compared to the huge population of the surrounding Arab Muslim countries.
This was Baker’s and his team’s objective. Without a Nuclear Deterrence, Israel could be invaded with forces superior in numbers and arms. Without a Nuclear Deterrence, Israel could be driven, if not into extinction (G-d forbid), certainly into submission and forced to accept any compromise or surrender on Muslim Arab terms. Remember the word: "Islam" means "Submission".
I would presume that you, the reader, knows what that could mean to the Jewish nation of Israel. Israel would be forced into a dangerous compromise of territory, being swamped by the return of descendants from the 450,000 Arabs who left in 1948 - now dubiously claimed to number 3 to 5 million, loss of precious ancestral sites like the Temple Mount, the Cave of the Machpelah (burial place of our Patriarchs and Matriarchs), loss of scarce fresh water resources under the Judean, Samarian mountains and the Golan Heights which Israel might be forced to surrender, loss of the defensive positions on those mountains and Heights, loss of homes, farms, factories, synagogues, schools - just as what happened in Gaza.
Can’t we learn from that bitter experience? Israel cannot afford to (or simply refuses to) re-settle the 10,000 Jewish men, women and children that her corrupt government "ethnically cleansed" from the 21 thriving communities in Gush Katif and the 4 in the Northern Shomron. How then could she possibly re-settle 400,000 more from their homes in Judea, Samaria, the Jordan Valley, the Golan Heights and those parts of Jerusalem that were occupied and desecrated by Jordan for 19 years from 1948 to 1967?
Regardless, this is the plan driven by the Bush family, Condoleezza Rice, James Baker, and now threatened to be carried forward by Obama and his advisory team of Arabists.
It appears that Baker’s Jew boys, Ross, Miller and Kurtzer (who were later joined by Martin Indyk) now are all advising Barack Obama. They have re-sold their old kettle of dead fish (a Nuclear Free Zone) to the Obama advisory team.
Keep in mind that many on Obama’s advisory team are notorious anti-Semites from years past: Zbigniew Brzezinski, Robert Malley, Gen. James Jones, Jimmy Carter and Robert Gates have all been deeply linked to James Baker’s philosophy for years. Remember Baker said to his President Richard Nixon: "F..k the Jews. They didn’t vote for us anyway."
Condoleezza Rice is scurrying to insert her personal and State Department hostility into the Obama camp to insure continuity. Hillary Clinton requires more analysis given (Bill’s and her) relationship to Yassir Arafat and having been given honorary status at every Islamic Conference.
Israel has not spoken about her Nuclear Deterrence but, everyone assumes it exists in volume. Most of the Arab Muslim countries do not dare attack in complete confidence and assurance that they would survive an Israeli counterstrike. However, the only unknown is Iran which operates on several tracks. The worst of which is their joyous acceptance of being utterly destroyed by Israel in retaliation IF Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ever hits Israel with even one nuclear bomb or a "dirty" radioactive bomb. Why? Because, Muslims believe that if they die in battle against the "infidel" (non-Muslim), they will all go to Allah’s warrior heaven with all the benefits they believe they will each receive: 72 virgins, rivers of honey, ‘et al’, as fed by the martyr-myth in Islam’s blood-cult.
I am loath to rely on Intelligence estimates that concludes Iran, through its own processes has processed enough Uranium to make one atom bomb. The IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) has been wrong so many times, especially under its current Director General, the Egyptian Muhammad Al-Baradei, the Egyptian. However, in June 2008 he predicted that Iran’s 3,800 centrifuges would have processed enough enriched Uranium for an Atom bomb in six months to a year - and that Iran might have 6,000 centrifuges enriching Uranium by the end of this year. The latest IAEA report affirmed that these goals have been reached and that Iran said it intended to install another group of 3,000 centrifuges early next year. The amount of enriched Uranium Iran is said to have would be sufficient for a Nagasaki size atom bomb. (2)
However, the NYT story on this "grapefruit-sized" amount of enriched Uranium did NOT discuss the possibility that this amount of Uranium could be used to make one or more "dirty" radio-active bombs - which would be quite deadly if used against the small state of Israel - only 300 miles long and 50 miles wide.
Also ignored in this report is the available fissile material on the Russian black market through the mafia of Russian generals. You may recall that at the collapse of the Soviet Union, East Germans and Russians were selling tanks and other military equipment. Numerous nuclear tactical artillery shells went missing, though to have been bought by cash-rich Iranian shoppers.
General Alexander Lebed said on 60 Minutes TV, September 7, 1997 that approximately 100 suitcase sized ‘bombs’ (out of 250 that the Soviets had created also went missing. Lebed presented to the U.S. Congress in 1997 that 132 KGB produced suitcase bombs could not be accounted for. (3)
Then there is North Korea who has never been known to miss a chance to sell nuclear know-how and materials.
Pakistan’s nuclear scientist, Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan, called the father of the Islamic Atom Bomb, sent out his scientific and technical knowledge to many Islamic states.
Israel can deal with Terrorists, providing American and European Arabists do not tie Israel’s defensive capability (as they have) behind their backs. In order to overthrow Israel, the main objective would be to force Israel into destroying her Nuclear Deterrence. Then the numerous Muslim Arab armies could attack and ignore their losses to Israel’s conventional arms, knowing that they have much greater depth in forces which would eventually wear down Israel’s conventional man-power and equipment.
Many forces are at work spreading the myth that, if the Palestinians were pacified with a State of their own, they would cease their terror attacks against Israel. Moreover, they would cancel their Charter to eliminate the Jews and the Jewish State. That spurious myth continues that such nations as Syria and Iran would no longer use Terror globally.
Adding to that myth, then the Arab League would also cancel their Koranic-based PLO Charter to eliminate the non-Muslim "infidel" State of Israel. While the cessation of Global Terror is a matter of fiction - to date, it serves oil-driven Arabists as an adequate excuse to disarm Israel, thus appeasing the Arabs.
