Hey Aminajob(sp): Chase out the Russians as you ask them to sell you the S-300 system.

It’s Debka. They have a 10% truth rating. Even the psychic hotline has a better record than Debka.

[Thunder90]

Debka file is NOT to be believed...

The Russians will stay in Iran. And Putin loves it.

Teehehe....might just be a tad hard to go fully nuke when all of your data is gone?

Wonder if this is the deal that Omama gave the Russians for pulling our interceptors out of Czech Republic?

[dila813]

Couldn’t have turned out better!

I wonder if the reactor is dead forever, along with much of Iran’s industry.

Would you be willing to load nuclear fuel into a reactor if it had been scrubbed by an anti-virus company and pronounced “clean”? What if something residual is left?

No way to know until it craps out in the middle of something vital. Same with a lot of other industrial installations.

[prophetic]

Its one thing to have a functioning nuclear reactor for peaceful purposed,
its worse yet as in Irans' case since the whole world knows its for weapon development,
but the ultimate is a malfunctioning & sabotaged reactors which may potentially blow its top via a cyber-worm and spew nuclear radiation all over the middle east and then contaminate the millions of peaceful loving muslims they have as neighbors!!

The current Stuxnet is targeted at two specific Siemens PLC modules. It propagates to the project file of the programming software. Every time the software is launched to work on the PLC code, the worm is propagated. Now that a paradigm of attack exists, you can expect the example to be played out against additional PLC and like devices. While this has kicked Iran's nuclear program in the crotch, it has the capability to visit other countries (including ours) and be targeted at assets that matter to us. I believe the phrase is, "blowback is a bitch".

And the Russians had it done to them at least once before:
