yaalon moron better be silent

I am not sure what the big deal is about. Yaalon did not give any specific information. Also, everyone knows that Iran will strike back. All he did was state the obvious. That Israel will not be a sitting duck and that Iran will lash out. The Israeli Foreign ministry is the most inept agency itself. On even their best day they cannot match Yaalon's competence.

you think you know better than everyone else and the world now owes you a big favour

the question is not wheather or not we can bomb Iran. the question is can the US/Israel deal with the aftermath of an attack?

All of the tears because this fool was not given an extra year as chief of staff were wasted. Many people in Israel have inside military information. We all have friends for many years and when they don't say where they work, ever, we know that that is enough. A fool who can't keep his mouth shut at a very sensitive time never deserved to be chief of staff in the first place. What will be the cost to Israel and the West from this guy's big mouth?

i would love to see this happen, it would be wildly entertaining on the evening TV news.

maybe he just planted the info and the uproar is diplomatic cover

There is no need for such fuss; it's nothing that the Iranians don't already know. The big "IF" is Israel's actions. If their response to Iran is like their "iron fist", "without restrictions" actions against the Palestinians (note the sarcasm), then the Iranians have nothing to worry about. Israelis talk tough and macho but don't actually do anything significant. As #2 said, just do it. Put up or shut up. I couldn't agree more.

Why should he not speak with confidence. Whether he is bluffing or not it can only have a positive effect. The Iranians have had the world dilly dallying in reaction to their arrogance and threats. A few counter aggressive statements to show them the world means business would soon shut Ahmedinejad & co up and make them stop trying to obtain the A bomb.

so dont count the USA into your disgusting plan.

If the US does this they must not invade the country and try to liberate it...they should just put it back into the 7th century were the mullahs will feel quite at home

Instead of leaving the Israeli - and Western - citizens in the dark and in some fear under Iran's clear threat to Israel and to the West, the former Chief of Staff Moshe Ayalon indicates clearly what our possible strategies are. It is a clear message also to Iran. For sure, he did not reveal secret information. It is good to have such a straight forward, honest and caoable leader among us. This is what we need.

Or anyone, for the matter.

to Israeli fireworks

Why is everyone freaking out about what this guy is saying? Anyone who's been paying attention to MidEast politics and military activity for the last 5 years knows that Israel has been planning for armed conflict with Iran. He's not saying anything new or anything that we don't already know.

Without Amerika backing your crimes against humanity israel can do nothing; no long range refueling capability, F-16s used as bombers (LOL!). The use of your nuclear weapons in Iran will garantee your status as a piriah nation. There will be serious economic and social costs to israel and jews all over the world. That is why zionist machinations are at their peak right now in my deluded country. They want Amerika to do their evil. The idiot George Bush must have been blackmailed by the zionists for him to go along with the madness of the israelis. If the presidential fool does this madness then amerikan soldiers in Iraq will be put in great peril. We Amerikans are already seeing the folly of these proxy wars for zionists. The repubiCONS and DemocRATS in Congress that backed this war quake in their boots waiting to see what will happen to them in the November elections. Israel thou are sowning the seeds of your own destruction! Change or suffer the consequences!

about their capabilities what so ever go back to your campus but stop using their computer for your wacko talk

If an attack results in another liberation, can we at least keep some of the oil this time? $1 gas would be sweet.

Ya, the Zionists control it all and with what!? No weapons, no power and by the way...how did the 6 day war work out? They routed the surrounding Arab countries with sling shots and spit wads! The "prophet" is without honor in THIS country anyway.

It's time for Israel to kick butt! Go get em boys! Keep praying for Israel.
