To paraphrase Crocodile Dundee:

"That's not a huge explosion...THIS is a huge explosion"

“Isfahan is the home to one of Iran’s nuclear research facilities.”

Also home to a large refinery.

The Iranian denials sound eerily similar to those spewed by Comical Ali as the American forces were entering the gates of Bagdad.

Israel needs to solve it on their own.

Looks to me like Israel agrees...

The Moscow Rules

Assume nothing.
Murphy is right.
Never go against your gut; it is your operational antenna.
Don’t look back; you are never completely alone.
Everyone is potentially under opposition control.
Go with the flow, blend in.
Vary your pattern and stay within your cover.
Any operation can be aborted. If it feels wrong, it is wrong.
Maintain a natural pace.
Lull them into a sense of complacency.
Build in opportunity, but use it sparingly.
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.
Don’t harass the opposition.
There is no limit to a human being’s ability to rationalize the truth.
Pick the time and place for action.
Keep your options open.
Once is an accident. Twice is coincidence. Three times is an enemy action.

“The pipeline software that was to run the pumps, turbines and valves was programmed to go haywire,” writes Reed, “to reset pump speeds and valve settings to produce pressures far beyond those acceptable to the pipeline joints and welds. The result was the most monumental non-nuclear explosion and fire ever seen from space.”

Our Norad monitors feared a nuclear detonation, but satellites that would have picked up its electromagnetic pulse were silent. That mystified many in the White House, but “Gus Weiss came down the hall to tell his fellow NSC staffers not to worry. It took him another 20 years to tell me why.”

Great story - thanks for sharing.

...We have such a complete fool in the White House. Nobody in either party knows what this dumba$$ will do next to handle the situation! Israel needs to solve it on their own.

....Seems that Ron Paul said something about Israel can handle things without US help. Seems that Ron Paul maybe right about some issues of Foreign policy.

[gargoyle]

...Looks to me like Israel agrees...

...Maybe Ron Paul doesn't really hate Israel. Maybe Ron Paul is right in this case. Maybe Israel is talking with Ron Paul, because he makes SOME sense.

The picture is from October and from Kashmir.

Is that one of those new 500-lb grenades?

I really hope the refinery or nuke facilities got hit. But I’m going to be skeptical unless a second explosion occurs.

I just saw them recently on Soul Train awards I flipping through the channel I saw them on BET
