The U.S. has always had a pollicy of don't ask if they don't tell, this might break it.

I would think the US government knows for sure (as do as the rest of the western, Russian and Chinese governments) about the true status of the Israeli nuclear weapons program long before the Olmerts faux pas.
I wouldn't expect any of them to make a big stink about it unless there is something to gain.
Who knows, maybe these slips of the tounge were deliberate?
