Iran Admits Stuxnet Affected Their Nuclear Program
plover writes "According to this article in the Guardian, 'Ahmadinejad admitted the [Stuxnet] worm had affected Iran's uranium enrichment. "They succeeded in creating problems for a limited number of our centrifuges with the software they had installed in electronic parts," the president said. "They did a bad thing. Fortunately our experts discovered that, and today they are not able [to do that] anymore."'"
Btw, read the first sentence of where those numbers come from ;)
I trust the red cross and amnesty a bit more. I think it's pretty much proven that Israel and it's propaganda machine can't be trusted.
Sure they are all terrorists. What else would you expect from a wounded caged animal being backed into a corner with a stick?
You're calling Palestinians animals? WTF is wrong with you?
You forget that Turkey is a NATO member and falls under the US/UK/France nuclear umbrella. Turkey doesn't need nukes. Supposedly the US had missles based in Turkey (aimed at the USSR) that were removed as part of a secret deal ending the Cuban Missile Crisis. But the nuclear umbrella stays as part of NATO.
"Nuclear umbrellas" only make sense, if someone is willing to use nukes to enforce them. Turkey has to wonder whether they'd get help in case of an Iranian (or for that matter Egyptian or Saudi Arabian) nuclear attack. For example, I wouldn't trust the US to deliver today. Obama doesn't even recognize Iran as a real threat. There might be a future US president who is even more clueless or weak (combined with bad leadership in the UK and France). That will be when Iran starts a war.
Maybe the US or EU will persuade Turkey that it's going to remain under the nuclear umbrella. But if they don't, then Turkey has to deal on its own with the nuclear escalation in the Middle East.
