"American supporters of Israel were delighted to learn that an Israeli company, Magal Security Systems-owned in part by the government of Israel-is in charge of security for the most sensitive nuclear power and weapons storage facilities in the United States

The largest perimeter security company in the world, Magal started out as a division of Israeli Aircraft Industries (IAI)-which was owned in part by the government of Israel. In recent years, however, Magal evolved into a publicly-traded company, although IAI (and thus the government of Israel) still holds a substantial share in the highly successful firm.


What all of this means is that the government of Israel will actually have control over the security of America's nuclear weapons."

Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    I don't really see the problem with an Israeli owned security firm guarding our weapons. Now if it was an Iranian owned firm then I would see the need for concern.

    You think something as sensitive as nuclear weapons should be trusted to another country?

    Going purely on defaults, would this scenario appear more or less secure to you?

    kinda naive to think someone from the US doesnt have a pair of eyes on our nukes at all times no?

    That same problem with Dubai owning the ports? Can somebody say what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

    Eyes not directly on. Are you actually trying to suggest nothing has changed?

    Can't you even see the irony?

    I dont really see what you're getting at. you seem to believe Israel now has 100% control of US nukes. its just a security firm. US has plenty of people involved too.

    I love Dubai but I have a serious problem with letting them own the ports. I really dont understand why this happened. maybe a sign of good faith that the US can and will work with muslim countries. but I still dont like it.

    I would prefer that our military guarded these facilities, but I'm not going to scream bloody hell just because an Israeli firm is doing it.

    Juding by your posts on this thread, I don't think Polaris needs to come back and explain himself for you. You did a good job of that yourself.

    They're only nuclear weapons...why not eh?

    Why not outsource their security?

    wow...the questions you ask sometimes...

    My problem with the posts deal was that UAE , as well as many of those Arab sheikdoms, is that they support radical islam by building and funding the madrahas that indoctrinate young muslims into that brand of Islam. Any country that willingly pays for these young men, and women, to learn to hate us should not have tthe right to do business with us or on our soil.

    again, Magal Security Systems is a respected security firm whos services are used all around the world. stop pretending they are the only ones with access to US nukes.

    wow the pointless threads you make sometimes.

    A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. Think about that. for a second....

    ok....now think about nuclear weapons.

    ( I'm afraid to ask...) but what seems most logical to you?
