Israel deploys nuclear arms in submarines: "Israeli and American officials have admitted collaborating to deploy US-supplied Harpoon cruise missiles armed with nuclear warheads in Israel's fleet of Dolphin-class submarines, giving the Middle East's only nuclear power the ability to strike at any of its Arab neighbours.
... the sentiment is almost identical to that of the US Under Secretary of State for Arms Control, John Bolton, who told British journalists last week that America was not interested in taking Israel to task for its continuing development of nuclear weapons because it was not a 'threat' to the United States."

This is clearly a mistaken strategy: if we want peace and stability in the middle east, why are we allowing the Israeli's to have nuclear weapons, and then making it easier for them to target other countries? This is nuts.
