#2 Ammadinjehead, you beady eyed little muthafukka
U been had!

BTW... I promise to avoid Siemens products whenever possible for the rest of my life. Same for Hyundai and GE. These companies enabled Iran to become nuclear.

#3 I would be at all surprised to learn years from now that all such industrial computers have special modifications and software back doors, factory installed, to allow intelligence agencies access to them by radio or internet means. Stuxnet may just be a sacrificial lamb to direct the attention of counterintelligence agencies in the wrong direction.

#5 This was the first time an Iranian official has explained how the United States and Israel intelligence agencies have been able to keep pace step by step of progress made in Iran's nuclear program.

I'd like to believe that's why we haven't bombed them. I really would. But it's Debka, right? If true though, it's even better than a bomb. It only destroys the target with no collateral damage and what can the Mad Mullahs do about it? Absolutely nothing except to sit and appreciate the humiliation and helplessness. Exquisite.

#8 The Russians and Chinese will want this advantage as soon as possible. I hope for a time the good guys have it. The democrats will just give it to them to keep things fair. #3 good post- this idea is like the many heads of the hydra each head with a single malicious intent with a little shock and awe(distracted and blind).

#9 The democrats will just give it to them to keep things fair.

That's not correct.

Maybe in return for campaign contributions, but not for fairness.
