Carter also estimated that Israel has at least 150 nukes. He cited
Israel's arsenal as an example of how hard it is to keep a real nuclear
weapons program secret, and perhaps to suggest some kind of moral (or
immoral) equivalence.
Carter's comments endanger Israel, which has relied on a policy of
"constructive ambiguity" when it comes to its nuclear arsenal. The idea
was to keep its potential foes in the dark about how big its nuclear
arsenal was — or indeed, whether it even had one.
That's gone now thanks to Carter, a man who abused his former
top-secret security access to reveal secrets he shouldn't have. Only
Jimmy Carter could believe that strengthening Iran's mullahs, who have
threatened to annihilate Israel, is the way to bring peace.
