More than one way to skin the Persian nuclear kitty

Nice to see there’s yet another computer virus/worm/trojan attacking Iran’s nuclear bomb-making computers. Duqu, which was acknowledged just a day after a blast at an Iranian missile site killed 17 and wounded many more, apparently is an offspring of Stuxnet, which earlier delayed things:

“Duqu appeared to be designed to gather data to make it easier to launch future cyber attacks, experts told Reuters. Stuxnet was aimed at crippling industrial control systems and may have destroyed some of the centrifuges Iran uses to enrich uranium.”

So, despite Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s assertion that Iran will get its nukes if Obamalot is re-elected, even that may not be enough for the Mad Mullahs to arm themselves (and their terrorist clients) with the world’s most fearsome weapon.

Stuxnet is to laugh

Islam makes you stupid, indeed. Thus the Iranians continue to prattle about their coming nuclear capability, even as the reported Zionist computer virus continues to cripple their nuclear plant—with forecasts of more to come. It’s much better than bombs, and a lot safer for the pilots, too.

Duck and cover

Duck and cover (if you aren’t sitting in Ground Zero) was always good advice, when I was a schoolkid back in the Dark Ages of the 1950s, despite the mockery of it ever since by Lefty writers and journalists.

But it is odd that Obamalot is promulgating it now.

“What they’re telling you is that you’re going to get nuked, there’s nothing they can do about it, they have no intention of trying to do anything substantive about it, and the best thing for you to do is to learn to be a contortionist — it’s hard to bend over far enough to kiss your ass goodbye.”

Well, even Bush II only said Iran could not have nukes. He never said what, if anything, substantive could be done to stop them.

So far, only Stuxnet has, thanks, in all probability, to the Mossad and Israel’s covert version of its high-tech industry. One German expert estimates for at least two years.

“…Iran’s best move would be to throw out all of the computers that have been infected by the worm, which he said was the most ‘advanced and aggressive malware in history.’ But, he said, even once all of the computers were thrown out, Iran would have to ensure that computers used by outside contractors were also clean of Stuxnet.”

Shalom, guys. Keep it up.

Esther strikes again?

“Originally, all eyes turned toward Israel’s intelligence agencies. Engineers examining the worm found ‘clues’ that hinted at Israel’s involvement. In one case they found the word ‘Myrtus’ embedded in the code and argued that it was a reference to Esther, the biblical figure who saved the ancient Jewish state from the Persians. But computer experts say ‘Myrtus’ is more likely a common reference to ‘My RTUS,’ or remote terminal units.

Works for me, either way.

UPDATE:  The party never ends. Heh. Take that Mahmoud!
