On February 12, the Pentagon quietly declassified a top-secret 386-page Department of Defense document from 1987 detailing Israel's nuclear program – the first time Israel’s alleged nuclear program has ever been officially and publically referenced by the U.S. authorities.
In the declassified document, the Pentagon reveals supposed details about Israel’s deterrence capabilities, but it kept sections on France, Germany, and Italy classified. Those sections are blacked out in the document.

Share on Facebook 1 1 SHARES I am, for the most part, a partisan hack. Accordingly, the last two months have been difficult because in an ideal world I would spend all or almost all my time criticizing Democrats. However, Republicans have failed so spectacularly and repeatedly since taking over control of Congress that it’s difficult to find the time and energy. The latest of | Read More »

MIKA BRZEZINSKI, MSNBC: So should we dial back on the words that [Yemen] is a success story, when you have the president fleeing on a boat?
JOSH EARNEST, WHITE HOUSE SPOKESMAN: Mmm. Hmm. You need to separate out two things here. The measure of U.S. policy should not be graded against the success or the stability of the Yemeni government, that is a separate enterprise. The goal of U.S. policy towards Yemen has never been to try to build a Jeffersonian democracy there. The goal of U.S. policy in Yemen is to make sure that Yemen can not be a safe haven that extremists can use to attack the West and the U.S.
That involves trying to build up the capacity of the government to help us in this fight. There is no doubt we would prefer a situation where there is a stable government where there was a place where U.S. personnel could operate in Yemen coordinating directly with Yemeni security forces to take the fight to these extremists.

The Bowe Bergdahl prisoner swap was because of President Obama's lack of experience, according to Scott Walker.
The Governor of Wisconsin and likely 2016 Republican presidential hopeful said the prisoner swap that freed five Taliban prisoners frustrated him.
The unfortunate reality is this is what happens when you put someone in office who's never led before, Walker told Hugh Hewitt on Wednesday night â hours after Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was charged with desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. This president, unfortunately, having been a senator, a state senator, a community organizer, never led anything, and so he's never been in a position to make those sorts of judgments.
Bergdahl, who was released last May after being held captive in Afghanistan since 2009 in exchange for five Taliban members being held in Guantanamo Bay, could get life in prison.
