    How come we did not hear of their scientists being murdered? I'm against the death penalty, but whoever is behind that should certainly be punished.

    We did hear about it. Heck, we talked about it here.

    Either our boys or the Jew boys rode motorcycles up to the guy in charge of fixing the stuxnet problems, threw magnetic bombs on his car, and killed him.

    It was such a neat assassination, I'm thinking the Jews had to have done it. If so, kudos to the Jews!

    ^^^Sounds like terrorism to me. But I suppose it's okay with you as long as it's Iranians on the recieveing end.

    These scientists were also in charge of trying to get rid of the Stuxnet worm that's been giving them fits for months.

    I blame 4chan. :mad:

    Well, the first general to go down will be the first couple million Americans screaming at Obama to not only fuck Iraq but order those troops to march EAST. If they really want a fight with us, political assassination is the fastest way.

    We'll make a nuclear wasteland of that region yet!

    Was the Iranian scientist driving a yellow van by chance?

    I'm too lazy to click a Midnight Funeral link. Does Iran say how they're going to get their hands on US Generals? Because right now from what I understand all they've got is a couple dipshit hippy-dippy Berkley students. And even with the Obama in office, I'm guessing if they somehow got their hands on a US General there would be...repercussions. :bergman:

    I blame Jimmy carter. We had all the reason we needed to pulverize that fucking place. They would still be trying to reinvent the wheel right now if he had any balls.

    Doesn't work that way. In GWI we bombed Iraq back to the stoneage. Took them only a short while to get back. To boot we didn't have 1/8 of the resources in the 70's that we did in GWI

    We didn't though. Our troops had very specific instructions to not go after infrastructure or civilian targets, only after military targets.

    They were also in GWI. We knew they'd have to rebuild so we went out of our way to inflict as little damage as possible, including breaking out awesome shit that was top secret and we'd planed to use on the Soviets.

    There's a payload for Tomahawks that involves dropping wires on powerlines to cause them to short out. We never told anyone we'd developed it so it was a complete surprise. But we used them instead of blowing up powerplants.

    Check out a book called Crusade by Rick Atkinson for more about the planning of GWI.

    IIRC, every bridge, power station, radio station, TV station every commo point and many utilities and factories were destroyed too. They may be dual use buildings, but they hurt the civvy pop pretty bad.

    We did not bomb Iraq back to the stone age in GW1. There are only about 6 major cities in the country and we could have leveled them and left only the nomads wandering the desert. They would not have recovered so quickly. Most of the damage we did then was to only attack military targets and then mostly in the south.

    I think it's pretty unlikely we did the deed given the tensions as they are. I feel sure Israel was the "trigger man".

    I sure hate to see civilans targeted like this though but.... :shrug:
