A very remarkable computer virus.

I highly doubt that the US was behind Stuxnet, but I can believe that they may have played a role (albeit a very minor one), in this strike. The way the mainstream media has kept mum about this leads me to believe something is up. Apparently this happened a couple weeks ago, and I haven't heard anything on it until now. Interesting times we live in, wouldn't you say?

BlackBlade: did you mean "in tandem"?

While the subject is still totally interesting, I want everyone to remember that this is an article by Debka, which wantonly sensationalizes and won't even bother to differentiate fact from rumor.

ravages you say

Yes, and I had to read my statement twice more before the tandem illusion disappeared revealing tangent. Thanks.

I wonder how much, if any of what was reported, was misinformation. Was it really "hand-rigged" bombs, or a bunker buster?
Posted by DSH (Member # 741) on :
A bunker buster (presumably dropped from an over-flying bomber) would certainly have sparked more public outrage than a hand-rigged bomb designed to look like an accident.

Some more sources. All these really confirm however, is that a fire took place at the base and that quite a few soldiers died as a result. I don't doubt that this wasn't a coordinated strike however. It's just that whoever's behind it is doing a great job of covering it up.

They won't, there's way too many other countries that would get involved in that venture.

Sounds to me like nobody wants to admit anything happened.
Posted by Lisa (Member # 8384) on :
It's like Israel's nukes. Plausible deniability.

I wouldn't say they were "lost"...
"Separated into component parts by use of explosive force" sounds so much better.
