Granted, sanity does seem to be a rare commodity with Mahmood.
I would agree, except Tel Aviv is more heavily defended with their iron curtain.

Personally you wouldn't need a advanced delivery system, you could use a 40 year old truck with enough brains.

We already know that they don't have their nuclear facilities linked to an outside network, as Stuxnet was brought into the facility by a USB stick.

Rumor has it of course.

The interesting part in all of this is that everyone seems to know nothing about it.

The original 'rumor' was started by WorldNetDaily. Basically a paranoid Christian right-wing website in the US that loves to talk about end times and such garbage. But now other sources are starting to vet it, and yet the US AND Israel are acting like nothing happened.

Could be the greatest covert operation ever, or a massive accident. Either way we have to believe Israel and the US were involved.

Obama. Such a peace loving hippy.

If it was an accident then how is Israel and the U.S. involved.

I doubt that the CIA has the manpower to do something like that and they really don't have direct action agents who go in and kill people and blow up stuff anymore, the CIA ground assets focus on intelligence gathering and running networks.

If there was an operation from the CIA front it would be done by members of the special forces community backed by the Defense intelligence apparatus.

Iran's intelligence agency is actually very competent, they learned from the Savaak under the Shah, and they were trained by the Mossad.

Its possible that the Mossad could have pulled this off, they're not quite as squeamish as the CIA when it comes to wet work, but I would love to know what their methods are.

I wonder if it would be possible to pull a google earth satellite picture of that facility

Do we have to get into another sidetrack of a thread for this?

You rationalized why someone should dislike a nation using only innuendo. You are brutal.
