He was the first American official to confirm Israel had a nuclear weapon and did so without consulting Jerusalem.<br \/>\nOlmert chose his journey to Germany, which coincided with the opening in Tehran of a conference negating the Holocaust, for his shock disclosure. This conference is taken in Israel as a vehicle for attacking Zionist legitimacy and so justifying Iran\u2019s ambition to destroy the Jewish state. Olmert used the opportunity to remind Iran\u2019s rulers that Israel possesses a large stock of nuclear weapons capable of not only smashing Iran\u2019s nuclear facilities but also disabling its infrastructure.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shocker!!
