A book about this virus, its creators and its implementation is something I’d really like to read someday. Awesome stuff.

The New York Times reported rather conclusively

Is that supposed to mean something?

So how did Iran’s computers get infected? Did someone there open a spam viagra e-mail in the nuclear facilities?

Unlike “others”, No innocents were harmed in this attack. I wonder if Iran would make sure no innocent civilians were harmed in an attack on Israeli nuke plant?

Of course, the Old Gray Whore MUST complete the job its philosophical master, Hitler, began.

Godwin’s law be damned — the NYT won’t be satisfied until Israel is destroyed and every Jew on earth removed.

And the NY Jews will continue to use Mitzvah to mask Holocaust, even after the prior generation encountered the latter.

They should have downloaded the free version of AVG anti-virus.

If the Iranian leader, Amanutjob, believes this yarn, isn't he likely to plan an attack of some sort on our country as well as Israel ?
Somehow, I don't believe we were were involved because it would be to our advantage to solve the “Iran Problem” without starting the Last World War. Some folks just don't get it, a nuclear shootout can not be won by anyone.

The New York Times reported rather conclusively on Saturday that the super-advanced computer virus that has at least partially crippled Iran’s nuclear program was developed and tested by Israel, with American involvement.

Didn't the New York Times or some folks that work there report that Sarah Palin is the real culprit in Tucson? It would be better if some other paper reported something 'conclusively.' The NYT is incapable of concluding much of anything.

Amen to that! I am so glad they have realized they can’t trust the US as an ally. The American voters have stabbed Israel in the back, but thank the Lord that the Israelis have the will to live even if US voters are too stupid to have the will to live.

I know that Orthodox Jews view Israel as the Suffering Servant, and in many ways I think that is true. Much of the security of the whole world falls to them.

That was one of the things I thought about when asked back in 2008 whether I’d prefer Obama or Hillary. At least Hillary would not have been so willing to turn her back on Israel, since Bill at least claims to subscribe to a religious denomination that believes whoever turns their back on Israel is cursed. That’s a TON better than Obama, who (allegedly) told the Egyptian ambassador that he “was and still is a Muslim who supports the Muslim agenda.”

I say “allegedly” because nobody has been able to turn up a video of the broadcast where the Egyptian ambassador gave his account of what Obama told him - either to prove that’s what the Egyptian ambassador claimed or to prove that it isn’t. Seems like there should be an archived copy of that show somewhere, but like everything associated with Obama it’s gone down the memory hole. Which leads me to believe that the ambassador actually did say that on air; otherwise we’d have seen the video showing that he didn’t.

Ok, but who initially had an infected removable drive to insert into one of Iran’s secret computers?

A secondary effect will be the loss of productivity the Iranians cause themselves. No-doubt they have, are, and will continue to implement draconian security measures to ensure they do not fall victim to something like this again. Not only do these procedures burn resources directly, these kinds of things tend to have serious negative effects on moral and productivity.

The beautiful part is, there is no-way Iran can avoid this second (ary) hit. If they don't take extreme measures, they will get hit again by a cyber attack. If they do take extreme measures, they can (maybe) protect themselves, at the cost of productivity. Either way, we win, they lose.

According to the NYT account, GWB authorized the Stuxnet operation at tail end of his administration and Obama allegedly ordered it sped up. The idea was to buy more time, as absent a slowdown, my impression is that Israelis would have felt forced to take out Iranian facilities with nuclear force. NYT claims that it has slowed things down by about 3 years, which frankly is a relief to me, since by the time a decision has to be made to take military action, Obama will no longer be in WH etc.
