    You don't make nukes with gas. It's a solid. Read up on your chernobyl analogy and see how poor it is. Add to the fact that most of Iran's nuke stuff is underground and your little pet theory isn't very valid.

    But its cute how you suddenly make this into everyone's problem but Iran's and I appreciate the effort you are putting forth.

    Yet you know much about what they store in their nuclear facilities.. ;) Sounds Amazing..

    What kind of gases are these? Natural Gases? those gases are inflammables. They will burn/explode right away. At the most they will harm innocent Iranian civilians in adjacent cities. to carry that explosion through out the whole Iran to neighborhood countries there has to be Billions of tons of gas. and if that is the case 1) Iranian officials has to be extremely stupid and careless for keeping that insane amount of inflammable gases in one place. one little spark can do the job, more hazardous than what we saw in Chernobyl. 2) they would need storing space almost the size of Texas to store that amount of gases. So please, give us a break from your fairy tells.

    Toxic gases? what the hell would they do with toxic gases in order to make Nukes?

    In case you do not know, radio active elements that are being used in nuke plants like plutonium or uranium are solids and they do not vaporise in even extremely high temperature. So, I'm not able to digest your gas theory.

    You are correct in your analogy. One only needs to look at history of U.S and Israel with latest being the Israel spy ring in USA to know how correct you are. :D

    If Israel does not really need it, why should they take it?
    There are a lot of much poorer people, who have nothing to eat that deserve it more IMO.

    I can make you feel much better about israel by reminding you that:

    At more than $10 billion in 2005, Iraq alone accounts for 45% of US total foreign aid.

    Afghanistan got 1.5 billion.

    http://statastic.com/2006/07/14/us-foreign-aid/


    Feel better ? :confused:

    Ill tell you 3 possible answers, you choose :

    1) We LOVE money.
    2) We are selfish.
    3) We have a Powerful Jewish Lobby In America.

    Between the lines, I do not like to see myself as a Jew (neither a christian or a muslim), more as an Israeli so yeah - thanks jews for helping Israel, thanks US for helping israel.

    Religion is juast not me. :D

    Iraq- possible control of oil supply by American companies for next 25-40 years.

    Afghanistan- Closing out Russians from the Indian ocean, possible future pipe lines.

    With exception of putting USA in danger of terrorism because of it's actions in the area, attacking U.S. ships, running spy networks in USA, the benefits of Israel for USA is? :rolleyes::confused:

    This is Hypocrisy. The US admin is responsible to the curent disaster in Iraq.
    US is paying a small fraction to Iraq for the damages it did.

    Now only the ignorant, the blinded, the selfish, the morons, or the complete idiots see it as a good war.

    Yes. Not only that, but we should also stop all support for islamic countries that create hostile sentiment towards us. We shouldn't be giving money to the palestinians (but we do), Egypt and other countries that are hostile towards us.

    Incorrect. islamic terrorists are responsible for the disaster. Iraq would be a much better place today, if it were not for young angry sexually frustrated muslim men who do not know how to treat women properly and islamic clerics making the promise of 9 year old virgin girls to them, in exchange for blowing up anything with a lung.

    Your concern over Uranium hexafluoride is right, since it is a highly toxic gas, but pal, Uranium hexafluoride is used in civil nuclear reactors. and a country, whether its US or Israel has to be complete ass to bomb a civil nuclear facility.

    besides, Iran does not have enough Uranium fuel to make enough UF6 that can pose a threat over neighborhood countries.

    If you are concerned over UF6 then you should have been worried about US having estimated 600,000+ Tonnes of the gas placed in steel cylinders in open air.

    Are you giving Bush credits to others again? He worked so hard to fool people that there was a WMD, sent Colin Powell to UN to lie to the world. Attacked Iraq and you still you don't want to give him credit for his work. :rolleyes:

    a) Iran has just one operational mine that has very low production rate.
    b) Yes but how many tonnes? few hundred tonnes are not enough to pose a threat to US, UK or India. Threat to Iran, oh yeah certainly.
    c) Yes they can, but again it will not have much effect in neighborhood area, however it may have long lasting and fatal effects on the adjacent Iranian areas.

    As far as your news quote is concerned, unidentified sources mean nothing when it comes to journalism, unidentified sources can say anything. They have no credibility. Basically these sources are used to cook up the stories.
