Yeah, I wish Jim would block new sign ups for six months prior to a Presidential election. That would stop a lot of this trolls from posting this kind of crap.

Story is complete and utter garbage.

Said earthquake was at a depth of 35 kilometers. Hence, impossible to be a nuke.

The area in question has plenty of natural seismicity. And if the Iranians were to test, they’d not be testing there anyway.

No story here.

Bush had 8 years to remove this most deadly of all threats, but he didn’t. Why?

It certainly should be. One very sharp detonation with no pre-event rumblings. A very specific initial pressure gradient. No long duration aftershocks. One very centralized epicenter as opposed to wide “plate shifting” areas.

Just tryin’ to bump up the price of oil. If it was a bomb, any country with seismographs would know it. And some one would talk!

"But would our government admit it?"

I dunno. But other countries pick up the seismic trace and they'll know the difference.

This is a BS report. You can easily distinguish a nuclear test from a quake.

Report is false.

yes, the nuke is an instant spike and an earthquake builds. I wouldn’t get worked up over this. Everyone and their brother in the mid-east would know if it really happened.

“set up?” What does that mean exactly?

Last 115 earthquakes Iran

Way too deep to be a tremor from a nuke test.

Well, well, well, who would have expected a thing like this?

Funny, I don’t recall the Shah of Iran threatening to wipe out Israel, let alone seeking to develop a nuclear weapons capability.

Of course what do I know, Jimmy Carter said he thought the Ayatollah Khomeini was a ‘godly’ man and shoved the shiv into the back of the Shah with relish.

We can thank the Buffoon from Plains for starting this chain of events, and if our current Commander-in-Chief has any testosterone left in his ‘Rat-neuterized scrotum, maybe he’ll finally drop the hammer on those Islamofascist thugs in Tehran.

I think this is what biden was talking about. If obama wins Iran will attack Israel with a nuke after the inauguration and obama will do nothing.

If you'd like to be on this middle east/political ping list, please FR mail me.

High Volume. Articles on Israel can also be found by clicking on the Topic or Keyword Israel. or WOT [War on Terror]

What's the big deal. We know they're developing a bomb, we know they intend to use it, that they'd test it is obvious.

So Drudge can embarrass himself more? This is non-news. Iran is a threat and they are developing nukes... but this wasn’t a nuke test.

No, they will not be more open to us. The long term goal, as it has been for centuries, is to destroy the West. That will not have changed if Israel is destroyed; it is just a step.

I think it is more likely than not that there will be such an event in NY, DC or both w/in four years if Obama is elected.

I also fervently hope to be wrong.

Should be printed in bold:

You can easily distinguish a nuclear test from a quake..

It's hard to distinguish a crappy nuke (a "fizzle") from a fake nuclear test using conventional explosives. But an earthquake has a distinct signature.
