#2 Does that 'great means of deterrence' also apply to power plants and those almost on-line refineries? A country without electricity is a country without spinning gas centrifuges.

#4 Yeah, we can completely mess up the trajectory of your infidel bombs by interposing the ceilings of our underground weapons stockpiles.

#5 Actually, they have had a pretty good means of deterrence for years: talk, talk, talk. Works especially well on EUros.

#7 I believe the "deterrent" that Iran is indirectly referring to would be trying to attack Israel after getting their a$$ handed to them. I'm sure they know they don't stand a chance.

#8 That they have deterrence I have no doubt.

That Israel will get thru I have even less doubt.

#9 And we now turn to a live interview with Mahmoud al-Mabahouh coming to us from our newsroom in Abu Dhabi.... Can you hear us Mahmoud? Salaam Mahmoud, can you hear us our brother?

We seem to be having technical difficulties. Zionists dogs jamming our signals obviously.

#10 IIRC the RADIC MULLAHS already described said form of deterrence awhile back, namelys that THEY WERE WILLING TO DETONATE NUCBOMBS ON THEIR OWN SOIL AGZ THEIR PEOPLE TO DEFEND AGZ A US = US-ISRAELI INVASION.

* To wit, NET > "CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE" COMPUTER/CONSOLE GAME > Bad Boy Character "AL-ASAD" detonates a SOVIET/RUSS WARHEAD in his own city to destroy invadin' US MARINE GROUND-RECON UNITS, all while the USMC are still engaged in heavy fighting agz his own defending Army.

"AL-ASAD" NUKES, DESTROYS BOTH THE USMC + HIS OWN ARMY.
