Oh yeah, 579, I have it on good authority that it's really six sling-shots and a rolling pin...what do you reckon?

You're welcome, Arjay… and regarding

[...Robert Baer also went on to say that...]

I'm assuming you're relying on what you've read somewhere making a claim about what was said – otherwise you would have known the words you first cited appeared nowhere in the entire interview – and yes, Robert Baer went on to outline a number of Middle East scenarios, after final US troop withdrawal from Iraq, he also went on to say that, "you know, often these disaster scenarios don't happen, but we're getting closer to this one."

He also told Ray Handley, "We don't spy in Australia, there is an agreement, Australia and Britain, New Zealand, Canada, we don't spy on the politics… I know there's the myth that we got rid of a Prime Minister… We're allies you know, in all the most secret things we do, you know, we share… "

Still, I found what he actually said much more interesting and nuanced than what he didn't. Plus, at the end he was nice enough to say, "I'd buy a place here if I could afford it… It's lovely"

Arjay how do you know Israel has 200 + nukes. And do not say because you seen it on utube.

579 200 nukes for Israel is a conservative number.Let's put the weapons inspectors in,like they did Iran and find out the true number.

Arjay that does not tell me where you got your info from. Besides that i do not think nukes would be laying around to be counted.

The Nuclear weapons capability of Israel first became known back in the 80's ?, when Israeli whistle blower, "Mortiki Vanunu" made it known to the world.

This truly heroic man has endured imprisonment in his own country ever since , to my knowledge 579. I don't know what happens when you google Mortiki Vanunu today, I'm going to try it . I suggest you do the same.
