Iran Is Warned Over Nuclear ‘Deception’

[nuclearfm]

If yes, absolutely, perhaps you can give a link that verifies it.

The most prominent one in USA arsenal has been the Davy Crockett. It has long since been retired. There have been rumors of missing Soviet suitcase nukes, but based largely on rhetoric and no factual proof.

Sure buddy. (WC now is nuclear scientist thanks to the internet)

No, I don't have the background to make one. However, working in the nuclear theater under EUCOM, I had plenty of briefings.

[DarkReign]

Here's what we do.

U.S. and France go to Iran and say "look guys, we are done not respecting you. We now see the light. We want you to join us as a world superpower."

"As a token of our gra ude, we give you the gift of the great Hadron Collider."

Move it from France to under Iran. Put a bug in the system that produces a black hole when turned on. Wait for it to suck in the entire Middle East, then send in Blackwater to shut it off.

Mission Accomplished.

That was great.

Apparently you were told widely available information in your briefs. Size is pretty common knowledge.

Cool wiki link.

Three major problems exist in making small nuclear bombs that I am aware of. A reflector device capable of reflecting enough boson energy back within, large enough explosive to compress smaller cores to a critical mass, and a strong enough alloy to hold the implosion and still be relatively thin and light. Other radioactive isotopes are used to help as well.

[nuclearfm]

I'm just going to make a few points, before WC, Heath and whoever keeps playing this G.I. JOE fantasy game.

1. Suitcase nukes are really really hard to make.
2. They don't cause that much damage. You're better off just using a truck/fertilizer bomb. It's cheaper and easier (just bulky).

I didn't say how small I was briefed about, did I...

I agree, unless you want to leave a poisoned area.

Who said it had to be a miniature one anyway? The scenario in "The Sum of All Fears" was inside a vending machine.

Thing is, it could be any size, and be a threat. Larger is just much harder to place where you want in a highly secured area.

What the ? No. You have bits of pieces there, but overall no. Just no.

I know. I just know some of the unclassified parts of making it. I didn't claim that was the complete story now, did I?

Do you often jump to conclusions?

The parts you described are unclassified but the way you describe them is false. It's one thing to say to limit something in content and quite another to just be wrong.

2 times that wc has expressed his love for that movie, lol.

Is it my usage of "boson" that has you going on?

[MannyIsGod]

Did WC really just use the Sum of All Fears as a reference?

[MannyIsGod]

If you wanted to leave a poisoned area you don't need a nuclear weapon. All you need is the nuclear material they already have and a conventional weapon.

You see what I mean about how easy it is to point out your stupidity?

Sure, a dirty bomb can be used. Still not as large as a small nuke.

[nuclearfm]

Partly, you completely missed the point of the reflector which is to reflect neutrons. Boson and Neutron scatter are two entire different things. Boson response and structural integrity has more to do with a tamper. Secondly, radioactive materials not necessarily need to be used.

[Heath Ledger]

Figures.

Suitcase bomb prophecies from a country who has not even successfully tested a nuclear weapon...

You guys might as well preach how likely liza minelli's next laugh is likely vaporizes the country of Israel. It's about the same odds.

Suitcase bomb as in dirty bomb not tactical nuke wad.

[clambake]

new law: no more suitcases.

[Heath Ledger]

suitcase suitcase suitcase.

[nuclearfm]

Suitcase bomb as in dirty bomb not tactical nuke wad.

So now you're saying that they could use a dirty bomb to destroy Israel?

Well, I meant baryons. So so many years since I studied this. I failed at trying to throw you. Since a neutron is a type of baryon, I thought I would see how you responded by being less specific, but like I said, I used the wrong matter group...

Sarkozy about Obama and Iran, mocking the idealistic rethoric:

The people of the entire world are listening to what we're saying, to our promises, our commitments and our speeches, but we live in a real world, not a virtual world.

We say: reductions must be made. And President Obama has even said, “I dream of a world without [nuclear weapons].” Yet before our very eyes, two countries are currently doing the exact opposite. Since 2005, Iran has violated five Security Council resolutions. Since 2005, Secretary-General, the international community has called on Iran to engage in dialogue. An offer of dialogue was made in 2005, an offer of dialogue was made in 2006, an offer of dialogue was made in 2007, an offer of dialogue was made in 2008, and another one was made in 2009. President Obama, I support the Americans' outstretched hand. But what did the international community gain from these offers of dialogue? Nothing. More enriched uranium, more centrifuges, and on top of that, a statement by Iranian leaders proposing to wipe a UN member State off the map.

I think Obama may be popular among other guys, but US allies are starting to wear thin on his indecisiveness, unilateralism and lack of commitment. A shift on Afghnistan just a couple of months after asking them to follow America in the troops increase and a few weeks later an unilateral shift in the shield defense system will just aggravate the problem.

[ChumpDumper]

So what is France going to do about anything?

[Heath Ledger]

If you consider contaminating a large area to the point where its inhabitable around where a dirty bomb goes off for years to come,(destroying Israel) sure. Don't be such a .
