31. Sarah B., please comment if no. 17 is authentic

Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.25.11)
I have seen a couple of posts from "Marco" lately and they are of a very different political bent than the "Marco" that used to regularly pollute this Forum with his anti-Israel and anti-Semitic rants. The Marco who has posted at No. 4 and at No. 17 in this thread is clearly very well-educated and articulate. While it is possible that this is a very different Marco writing from Spain, I don't think that is the case, either, because the English language skills are just too good. It is definitely not the other, hate-promoting, Hezbollah-touting "Marco" -- he is functionally illiterate (I suspect in any language). Marco is not an uncommon name, however. This is either a completely different one, or someone impersonating him for some reason. What do you think?

34. Yahooo, no matter who did it was just great
Dani ,   Amsterdam NL   (04.25.11)
Nuclear plantation in Iran is one of the bigger threat the world is experiencing nowadays, every one who have the capability to do to create Worms,Virus in order to delay the Iranian nuclear plantation development, is morally obliged. More bigger the damage better is.

those who did this computerattack must realize that iran and other muslim countries can do a strike-back/counter-attack. not only "israel"has the right to retaliate/revenge. every country has the right to strike back/retaliate/revenge when it is attacked literarily or on another way also in this case. if "israel" suffers a computer-attack from abroad what would it do? "israel certainly would try to react/to strike back/to retaliate/to revenge. (treat others in a way you want to be treated yourself/yourselves by somebody else/others.) what did/do the perpetraitors wanted/want to accomplish and what do we gain in the short term and on the long term? all countries have the right to have nuclear arms or not any country has that right. no exeptions and no privilege-treatment. all men, all peoples/countries are equal and equivalent (for the law).
36. The biggest virus Iran has is Ahmedinejad and his terrorists

41. To: No. 33
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.25.11)
Could be. I could not possibly disagree more forcefully with the content of the comment, but I suspect that it is authentic to the poster.
42. # 18 yeh dont

I was vonderig myself ,is this the real Marco ?. the lover of muslim terrorists,there are 3 posibbilities,1. Marco,changed masters,2. Marco had a change of heart,3.it's a different Marco,Spain produces a lot of Marcos.
45. Marco of Spain
Shaul ,   Sheboygan   (04.25.11)
Marco, as long as you are apparently not hiding your I.Q. today, why don't you tell us if STUXNET has been detected yet up there at TIHANGE or DOEL.
46. The Best Computer Scientist are now working on the next
Umm El Kul Naqba   (04.25.11)
Virus to attack somewhere in Iran. Its code name is "Nadia's Revenge".
47. Great news! Keep the worms and viruses coming!
Harry Wright ,   UK   (04.25.11)
An excellent strategy is to flood Iran with worms and viruses - every Monday morning a new one. That will keep them so busy trying to clean up they won't have time to make any progress. The world will be a much safer place if we know the Iranians are preoccupied with sanitation duties.
48. factual correction!
tom ,   toronto, canada   (04.25.11)
"Enrichment creates fuel for nuclear power plants or, if pursued to a much higher degree, can provide material for an atomic bomb" this is misleading. the simple fact is that enriching uranium from the naturally occurring 0.7%, to a low grade of 20% requires increasing the concentration of u-235 by a factor of 30 times. but going from 20% to 80% is only 4 times the concentration, and therefore only 1/8 the effort! it is important to understand this - even with "only" enrichment to 20%, the mullahs are more than 3/4 of the way to having weapons-grade fissile material.
49. seasonal greetings
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (04.25.11)
Is the virus hitting Iran,the 11th plague ?.
50. Iran has a strategy
Michael ,   California, USA   (04.25.11)
This is a weird announcement, even weirder than the Stuxnet. It serves Iran somehow, maybe to mask their technical ineptitude? Masses need to be given an external enemy as an explanation hiding regime's failures. That's the classical approach of all totalitarian regimes. Machiavelli promoted this kind of strategy as a mean for fighting off regime's internal opponents. Iran is watching the euphoria of the opposite right wing, to declare "we know the causes of our difficulties." Commentators here be careful, you are being used.
51. Nuclear Iran
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (04.25.11)
Why is Iran struggling to create a nuclear bomb ?. when it can buy the bomb in the bazars of pakistan,or from the mad man in north korea.
52. #51, who said Iran is...
Persian CAT   (04.25.11)
"struggling to create a nuclear bomb"?! Where did you hear that, and how do you know Iran doesn't have a working model right now?! BTW, are you sure one can "buy the bomb in the bazars of Pakistan"?! Are you THAT stupid, or you are competing with "Sarah B." for posting nonsensical brainfarts?
53. 42
anton ,   istanbul turkey   (04.25.11)
dont worry thats not gonna happen :D you better worry about israel not turkey my over educated israeli friend :D
54. No. 50, indeed they do
Marco ,   Spain   (04.25.11)
The best strategy of Iran is bluffing and by now this has become apparent to anyone with open eyes excluding you.
55. Thank you Sarah B. You confirm my suspicions .
(04.25.11)
56. To: No. 52
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.25.11)
Get real. Iran doesn't have a very good working model of a toilet. Besides, all of Iran's nuclear facilities are offline, what with the havoc that Stuxnet has created. Moreover, it isn't whether Iran has one or not; it's whether Iran has delivery capacity. It does not. Please clean up your language. Most of us do not live in the gutter, and your foul mouth is really quite tiresome.
57. J.K. No. 42, Anton doesn't care, it will kill only Kurds
Marco ,   Spain   (04.25.11)
He hates them anyway and wants them to disappear. But you know what....Israel will create Stuxnet 2.0 that upon activation will cause a Mushroom cloud that will skip over Kurdistan and land directly in the occupied territories of Anatolia and Constantinople.
58. #4 Is an idiotic Jewish imposter....
Marco ,   Spain   (04.25.11)
59. #17 is an idiotic Jewish imposter
Marco ,   Spain   (04.25.11)
60. To: No. 58 and No. 59
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.25.11)
We knew it was an imposter precisely BECAUSE his posts are anything but idiotic! You, on the other hand, are a cretin and a functionally illiterate and inarticulate one at that.
