And people are worried about nuclear radiation. Viruses can potentially kill everyone!

its stupid how they are allowed to create such viruses, CERN bullshit, beastality in middle east...but wont allow stem cell research or cloning of humans...

Hahaha, science is awesome. Hey, what's worse than swine flu? I know, lab-created Swine Flu 2.0. Hopefully when this one leaks, the stores are already stockpiled with the vaccines so we can all buy it.

Scientists say they are trying to figure out how the virus could occur naturally

Isn't the first time news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/2122619.stm

[mouse]

They are so bored with not being able to cure Cancer or prove Man Evolved form a Snail they have to do something with they're time.

Actually there is big money in creating a weapon that can wipe out or disable a city of people. Then there is more money in finding a cure.

I like how Professor Google aka Agloco avoids topics that call out the Scientists.

Since you made the initial assumption, I'll kindly abdicate the floor. You obviously possess some insight on my motives which the rest of us don't.

Do share.

[mavs>spurs]

So who do you work for? I wasn't aware of any other interests who are active overseas in "making our lives safer." Maybe you are playing semantics and don't work for the "US Gov" but work for a "US Gov Agency?"

I think we should stop fucking meddling in the worlds business. We have military bases in every fucking country on earth and spend almost a trillion dollars per year on defense. All that does is piss people off and create a boogeyman for us to "fight" against. It's pure American imperialism.

Non-sequitur tbh. I'll put my question to you again:

Yeah, Iran will take care of itself just fine if we stop covertly bombing their facilities and just leave it the fuck alone.

Yeah, they aren't going to get a bomb and start nuking countries brah. Pretty sure Pakistan is full of jihadists and they have one, you can't police the entire world brah. That right there is what makes you a target.

There you go with your assumptions again.

And you were doing so well.

Tell me, does Iran openly support any organizations which might start "nuking" people?

Does Pakistan?

Damn for a nuclear scientist you really are naive and lacking in reason. I guess they didn't teach that in a textbook?

[Agloco]

Certainly not the kind which would compel me to falsify an inspection report and spark an unwarranted conflict.

But then again, you know more about the IAEA and its inner workings than i do. :lol

I seriously doubt if you are in the position of authority which you are implying yourself to be in. You may in fact work for the IAEA but you are nobody of importance, just some technician. You don't know what the big boys talk about and if you were involved with all that, you wouldn't have this much time for spurstalk. Sorry to call your bluff brah.

[Agloco]

There's very little profit in a cure. Just saying.

Technicians are important too. Don't be so harsh on yourself.

No, I said you weren't in such a position of authority that you REALLY know everything that goes on. Not that you weren't a scientist or couldn't post online. You only know what you are told tbh. You aren't "in the know" much more than the next guy tbh. Just like many government officials don't know that they are working for the new world order.

[Agloco]

Wanna give me the next mega millions numbers while you're at it?

[Agloco]

No, I said you weren't in such a position of authority that you REALLY know everything that goes on.

Ah so.

Who really knows everything that's going on though? You?

[mavs>spurs]

No, but we can speculate and use a little common sense. It's pretty obvious at this point that a lot of fear mongering goes on with the muslim boogeyman. I just think that it's none of our business what other countries do and our meddling is what puts us at risk of an attack. Why would Iran give a nuke to Hezbollah and have Israel nuked, being so close to its own borders and knowing what the response would be? Why would they nuke anyone knowing that response? And where is the proof that their program is not peaceful?

[Agloco]

You only know what you are told tbh. You aren't "in the know" much more than the next guy tbh.

You base this on what exactly?

[mavs>spurs]

the fact that you have so much time to post on spurstalk. so are you in a position of authority or just a low level technician? shouldn't be such a hard question to answer. surely someone whom all of our safety depends on wouldn't post on spurstalk all night and day instead of saving the world from certain destruction at the hands of the iranian boogeyman.

[Spurtacus]

No, but we can speculate and use a little common sense. It's pretty obvious at this point that a lot of fear mongering goes on with the muslim boogeyman.

I concur. All of Ahmadadooty's talk is just politics. He's not insane enough to attack a country let alone with a nuke.

[Agloco]

No, but we can speculate and use a little common sense. And where is the proof that their program is not peaceful?

Well using common sense should dictate that if I had the answer to your question, I wouldn't share it with you.

Proof is in the pudding as they say. Its a mosaic born of many travels to the middle east.

Id like to know what your opinion is born of.......besides common sense.

The proof isn't in the pudding at all, unless you mean proof that nothing is going on and it's all politics. If you have something that says otherwise, then prove it or shut up. This whole "I work for the IAEA, I'm in the know! I can't tell you why, just trust me!" shtick doesn't validate your argument at all.

[Agloco]

the fact that you have so much time to post on spurstalk. so are you in a position of authority or just a low level technician?

You'll either have to take me at face value or simply dismiss my postings as ramblings. I won't elaborate further.

As for time....well I've bantered back and forth with you for about 2 hours now. I do this in between reading journals and sipping some Marnier.

Ordinarily Id just read at night anyway.

[mavs>spurs]

Since you guys have been investigating this, if you have found proof that Iran's program is not peaceful, PLEASE by all means feel free to post some kind of evidence. If they had such proof, we wouldn't even be having this conversation it would be all Israel needed in order to attack.

[Agloco]

Since you guys have been investigating this, if you have found proof that Iran's program is not peaceful, PLEASE by all means feel free to post some kind of evidence.

Sigh.... ok,

http://www.iaea.org/Publications/Documents/Board/2011/gov2011-65.pdf

Pay particular attention to section C1, C2, C3 as well as section G sub-paragraphs 38, 42-43 and section K sub paragraphs 52-54.

Most importantly, just about half of this report contains an Annex dealing directly with the military dimensions of Iran's program.

Since you don't understand the science behind this report, you'll no doubt dismiss the evidence out of hand.

Happy reading.

[mavs>spurs]

If you already know that one would have to be a nuclear scientist in order to make sense of it, couldn't you just put it in layman's terms? And is the evidence not conclusive enough to be used as a green light or something?

[Agloco]

If you already know that one would have to be a nuclear scientist in order to make sense of it.....

I didn't say that. I stated that YOU likely wouldn't understand the science behind the report. Looks like I was correct.


Couldn't you just put it in layman's terms?

Already attempted to do that (see the first 2 pages of this thread) and failed. Thus I took a more direct approach.

What do you want? I won't hold your hand here. I get the sense that you're just intellectually lazy. Read the report, you might learn something.

I'll be happy to answer specific questions, but not general ones like:


Couldn't you just put it in layman's terms?

As you like to point out, I simply don't have the time for that.


And is the evidence not conclusive enough to be used as a green light or something?

I can't speak to the motivations of any government entity. My job is to inspect, report and advise. What is actually done with said information is beyond my pay grade (not to mention outside of the scope of my practice).

Haven't we heard rumblings about Israel wanting to strike Iran....and quickly? If you've read our report, you'd be on your way to understanding why.

[mavs>spurs]

I didn't say that. I stated that YOU likely wouldn't understand the science behind the report. Looks like I was correct.

I don't think there are just scientists running loose on spurstalk other than yourself.

Anyway, even if Iran were to try developing a weapon, it's only because they want a seat at the big boy table and to be taken seriously like everyone else, which is understandable.

[CosmicCowboy]

Wow.

YH exploring the depths of stupidity again...:lol

[m>s]

iran may be developing nukes underground and they have a good chance to succeed making one but i don't see it much of a concern to the american people. their missiles ain't delivering the bomb to nowhere imho, we've been spending big $ to regulate shits over there when it's indeed none of our errand

[CosmicCowboy]

Worst case scenario...

Iran actually lunches on Israel...Israel unloads in it's death spasms and turns Iran into glass...

The White House and the Pentagon will be on the red phone with their counterparts in Russia, China, India, etc. basically saying "lets be cool brothas...no sense in us being stupid like they were and escalating this into mutual annihilation..."

[Agloco]

I don't think there are just scientists running loose on spurstalk other than yourself.

Still haven't read the report have you? I even outlined the relevant passages for you. smh.

Perhaps the Iranian Government will begin by not sponsoring terrorism, you know like everyone else.

[mavs>spurs]

Yeah that would be a big start, 2 different issues though. Iranians ain't usin a nuke on anyone, they'd rather hide behind Hezbollah. (And they ain't giving Hezbollah a nuke knowing it would be traced right back) If they even thought about using a nuke (or handing one off) they'd be reduced to rubble, and even their own allies Russia and China would be on board with it.

It's all good when the currency you're gambling with is other peoples lives. Makes for an easy black and white world. There's a clear and present danger. Ahmahdinejhad's rhetoric about wiping Israel off of the map doesn't help matters along, nor does the fact that Iran continually engages in clandestine activities despite the urging of the community to not do so.

Kinda like a smiling friend holding a meat cleaver.

That was a totaly mistranslation. He never said anything about wiping Israel off the map at all, holyyyyyy shit you are late. What he said is that "The current regime must be removed from the pages of time." Don't believe me? PM Ghazi he speaks Farsi and can translate. Jeez dude, yikes.

You keep citing common sense, yet don't grasp the need for more perspective and insight regarding the matter (hint: read the report). Wouldn't common sense dictate that you familiarize yourself with all available facts? It would allow you to understand another viewpoint much better.

I would rather not post, but I have this question.

Do you think a fiercely devout Muslim state such as Iran would willingly use a nuclear weapon and destroy holy sites of their religion contained within Israel?

I personally find that to be a very mixed answer, far from affirmative yes or no.

Just as a side note as well, I share your background and understand those reports. The political insinuation is why I left non-proliferation subject area, it's less science and more social science.

You missed the boat. It's not about Israel one way or the other. I do care about an middle eastern arms race though. Preventing these things is one of the major mandates the IAEA has. It makes my job that much more difficult when governments are clandestinely inclined. However, I can appreciate the fact that neither one of you fully comprehend the gravitus here.

Very mixed. Which is why I attempted to stay away from the "what if's". Kudos to YH for succoring me into that. :toast

My aim here was to demonstrate that Iran is working toward building a nuclear device, and they do so while maintaining that they aren't.

Who in their right mind wouldn't ask a few questions within the given context?

But yes, you have a good point about the social aspect of things. I consult for them now and recently completed a trip to Austria regarding these matters. Untangling the web can get to be a fairly large headache at times.
