...state of war with Iraq. We have not carried out a military action against Israel since the 1973 war. Yet when we became involved in the war with Iran, Israel came and stabbed us in the back. How can we interpret the Israeli strike against Iraq's nuclear reactor last summer except as an act of war? You should not let the Israelis be so arrogant. If President Reagan were here, I would tell him very precisely not to use the Israeli club. You must not exaggerate the strength of Israel. You must advise Israel to look...
...finishing complex jobs on time and under budget, Bechtel has occasionally stumbled. Some employees were publicly involved in a bribery scheme ten or twelve years ago over the construction of a New Jersey pipeline. The firm was further embarrassed in 1977, when it installed a 420-ton nuclear-reactor vessel backwards at a San Onofre, Calif., power plant...
Increasingly isolated in the Administration on this point, Haig has argued vehemently against any open break with Israel for a year, since the Israeli air raid on the Iraqi nuclear reactor near Baghdad in June 1981.

Also, Haig believes that since the Israeli invasion has smashed the military power of the Palestine Liberation Organization, U.S. diplomacy has a chance not only to re-create an independent...

This time, the invading Israelis had simply swept aside one of Washington's most valiant efforts at Middle East peace keeping to date: the fragile, unwritten cease-fire between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization, crafted just eleven months earlier...
...Richard Helms, former director of the CIA. Even if it were to keep the Kremlin at arm's length, an Argentina humiliated by the outcome of the Falklands crisis could be dangerously destabilizing to the region. Buenos Aires has not signed the nuclear nonproliferation treaty and operates a reactor capable of making weapons-grade plutonium. Question: Would a vengeful regime build the Bomb? Would it threaten...
