Richard ,   London UK   (09.14.07)
That's what you said in Vietnam. And that ended in defeat. If you want to blow up the world then go ahead - no one willbenefit from that. All the planes, nuclear this and nuclear that hasn't helped in either Iraq or Afghanistan.
92. Richard-didnt u read Alkusa post properly- whats Vietnm got
to do withit???? ,   Alan SA   (09.14.07)
93. #90, AR still can't figure it out!!!
DR ,   Floirda, USA   (09.14.07)
The US gives weapons and aid to countries who fight terror. In the case of Saudi Arabia there is a little more going on, but at least they say they want to fight terror. Iran, Syria, N. Korea support terror, fund terror and teach terror. If you still can't distinguish the difference, then you should go back to the second grade and start over.
94. To #91 Richard
R. Alkalai ,   USA   (09.14.07)
If you recall, in Viet Nam, the US military did not use this type of weaponry, nor did we have US Presidents with rage problems who would enjoy the deployment of nuclear weaponry. Now we do. In Iraq and Afghanistan, we have not utilized such weaponry. The US is not out to level those countries. In regard to Iran, Bush is. That is the difference.
95. Fox News?!
jaz ,   NV, US   (09.14.07)
Ye gads. Since when has Fox News been considered a reliable news source? May as well start citing the National Enquirer in these reports. Fox News... heh!
96. us crafting iran bomb plan
fred ,   trenton, nj   (09.15.07)
i support an attack on iran's nuclear facilities. after all, we are technically in a state of war with them ever since they took over our embassy. not to mention the fact that they have killed countless americans over the years through terrorist attacks. imagine iran with a nuclear bomb! and yes folks, don' t believe for one second that that is not their intention. when they build this bomb they will surely use it. we must stop them now, our lives depend on it. GO GEORGE W.
97. US to Bomb Iran
Sandy Benson ,   Dallas, USA   (09.16.07)
I hope the US can show some backbone and finally get rid the threat that Iran has become.
98. think about it twice
gary paulson ,   america   (09.16.07)
ever heard of the nutron bomb you better be ready sand turns to glass remember that.?
99. Re #1
Bruce Josloff ,   New York   (09.16.07)
By announcing plans, strategists can observe defensive movements and deployments in and around Iranian installations, thus providing the airforce and special forces valuable data. Its not unlike hammering a wall in order to listen to the rustling sounds of rodents - in order to estimate the size and location of nests.
100. DR you are the dumbest person in America.
AR ,   USA   (09.17.07)
Who has iran been fighting since the 90's? The taliban and Al Qaeda. Who was the US supporting? The taliban and Al Qaeda, MEK, IDF,Saddam Hussein, Musharaf, Egypt, saudi arabia, jordan etc etc. Your a moron. Read a book. Read some serious article buy serious journalist who do their own investigating. Of the 19 hijackers were any of them from syrian, iran, iraq, afghanistan, nk? Check yourself you moron. You act like any of those regimes that the US supports are stable. Once the bombs start dropping on Iran those regimes will start counting their days. Saudi arabia is fighting the US in Iraq you moron. Most attacks on Americans 90% are sunnis most foreign fighters come from saudi arabia. Iran dosnt need to fight america in iraq they already have their allies (shia) in power. Moron.
101. AR....HOW RIGHT YOU ARE..#100
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (09.17.07)
AR, the problem with DR is always one.......................he is not prepared to see reality at all.Anything that emanates from Iran, to him is crap.No chances, however, of him improving at all as he does not want to utilise his brains.He hears it and writes exactly what he hears.....no use of his brains at all
102. beginning of the end
K.J.W. ,   miami   (09.18.07)
is it just me or does anyone else see the end times fast approaching..and i am not a religious fanatic! you would have to be blind to not see what we are headed for....all we can do is pray and be ready...read revealations read joel rosenbergs novels...just look open your eyes...we've reached this point.
103. #95 is obviously a real deep thinker
cornontheBob ,   Texas, USA   (09.18.07)
I swear you idiots just keep popping up. Fox News has just a reliable information as CNN or MSNBC. Just because they try to remain nuetral instead of telling us what we should think about a subject you defame them. Wow, you're brilliant, Creative and sooooo original!
104. 103 your joking right?
AR ,   USA   (09.18.07)
Seriously im not saying CNN or NBC are any good. Just look at their Ads and youll see how that shapes their positions on war and terror, trade, immigration, healthcare etc. But fox news dosnt even try to do any real journalism. They use fake patriotism as a cover for threatening other nations and decenting opinion. Just one example is this guy they bring in from iran. Alireza Jafarzadeh (they say he is a member of an opposition group) He really is a terrorist. He helped Saddam Hussein kill Iranians and Kurds. He is a high ranking member of the MEK a terrorist organization. But Fox news uses him as a contributor. They use him to form americans perceptions on Iran. How is that journalism or fair and balanced? If you follow what the administration says (which i hope you agree hasnt been completely honest) and what fox says on its network i challenge you to find any difference.
105. much as i'd like to, we can't rush things
skyline ,   jax,usa   (09.20.07)
Ezekiel 38 and39 talk about a Russian- backed Iran coming against Israel. While i would love to see firsthand the personal intervention of God himself, we're on his time, are we not? Let's watch and see. Bush is trigger happy to bomb Iran, and i'm all for it.
106. EYES ON RUSSIA
KJW ,   MIAMI ,FLORIDA   (09.20.07)
105 # YOU ARE SO RIGHT...WATCH RUSSIA...READ THE EKIEL OPTION BY JOEL ROSENBERG..BETTER YET READ HIS BOOK; EPICENTER. RUSSIA IS A POOR LOSER AND OUT TO GET US ANY WAY THEY CAN..THEY WISH TO ESTABLISH AN EMPIRE AS THEY ONCE HAD THEY ARE DESIROUS TO SEE US DESTROYED.....AND I DON'T TRUST PUTIN .... HAND PICKED...FORMER KGB...WATCH RUSSIA!!!!!!!!
107. And it's 1-2-3 what are we fighting for, don't ask me...
Heatherross ,   ARKANSAS   (09.20.07)
Hey, maybe we can revive an old Woodstock song for this? So, everyone got their nuke shelters dug, air filtering system, etc, food stock? No? You gonna wait for the sirens to sound? There is not going to be peace for Israel, read the Bible lately, it ain't going to happen. Iran? Well, Americans got to have something to c/o about. Look at this way, like Scrooge said, "if we must decrease the surplus population, then let's get on with it!" we can make up a song, called, "we all are circling the drain! Let's bomb the Islamics to smitherings!
108. Thomas from Cleveland
HR ,   ARKANSAS   (09.20.07)
These young Iranians better get to taking over their country super fast, because they know now what is about to happen. Pro-west. regime, nah, they live differently, think differently, even argue differently than americans. Trouble is coming in a big way, better tom, you get ready to protect yourself and family and get ready, other nations are gearing up and usa isn't.
109. 93. Florida
HR ,   ARKANSAS   (09.20.07)
This isn't the time to argue amongst ourselves this is a time to stand beside each other, because if what happened in OKC, and NYC, and disasters like Katrina, happen and keep happening, drop the anger at each other, we gonna need each other, you hear what I am saying? Ain't nobody or country gonna have mercy on the USA, except US
110. whata lot dummies
gg ,   Dallas USA   (09.22.07)
Don't bomb Iran that why they can nuc us. I think that's what most of you dummies want.
111. bomb attack on Iran
Ray ,   San Bernardino CA   (09.24.07)
No WMD's in Iraq:Lies, More Lies in Iran. Where does it stop? You may be next.
112. To R. Alkalai
Bill ,   Philadelphia, USA   (09.25.07)
Your comments on a possible war with Iran were very intelligent and well-informed. I would like to hear more of what you have to say, if you're interested in sharing. This is no time for emotional saber rattling, but for the strong and wise to do what needs to be done.
113. Back talkers
adobepoet ,   USA   (09.26.07)
So much talk about what no one has contol over! God's word will come to pass. The question is, are you ready to die today? Every morning when you wake up it will be today. Fear and speculation will accomplish nothing. The Bible clearly states: a. Those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed. b. Not by might, not by power, but by my Holy Spirit says the Lord. Now why do you think he said that?
114. I am waiting for all of you fools
Satan ,   nether regions   (10.12.07)
You will all be with me when this is over. Funny How you talk of god and bombing. i will have the last laugh
115. attack iran?
dak ,   usa   (10.12.07)
before all this escalates any more the "if your not with us your against us" remarks shoud be revisited and those countries be dropped from our friends list. also the us should go on a war footing with all citizens contributing in some fashion . the draft should be reinstated . or maybe we should just stop being the world leader and clean our own house first and take the billions from unappreciative iraq and spend it to start protecting usa in a quality manner ' '
116. Are you REALLY paying attention?
marsh flower ,   Stockton , Ca, USA   (10.17.07)
Back in 2003', Switzerland secretly arranged a potential resolution in which Iran would comply with nearly EVERY U.S. demand involving its nuclear program(s). The U.S. did not accept the proposition because Iran would not succumb to the additional demand of regime change by the U.S. Contrary to your news edits, Iran is almost desperately working to appease western aggression and keep a sense of unviolated self identity. The current administration will NOT accept anything but conflict and war. The leaders of this country are literally hell-bent on the idea of armageddon and the second coming and are behaving accordingly. Has FOX news ever really reported a story without exiting the "mob mentality". Do you understand how dangerous and primitive the "mob mentality" has shape past events? It seems that panic and fear is the meal ticket these days. Yet the most dangerous thing you turn away from is the Idea that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. Shame on you for being so afraid. Life wouldn't be worth living if it weren't for its hardships

118. Iran A no-win senero for U.S./Israel and the Muslims
Walter W. Hoffman ,   sonoma county   (11.01.07)
If the U. S. does nothing about Iranian nuclear Ambitions , they (Iranians bomb Israel off the map). If U.S./Israel bombs the Iranian nuclear sites this will precipitate World War III with Persia and Magog Truly a No-win Chess move for either party!
119. to all who criticize our president
Romans 13 ,   CA   (11.14.07)
to those whole note scripture read romans 13. to those who do not believe that scripture... you will. to everyone else, (and yes i mean this as i state it) you "obviously" THINK for even a moment that you could run a country the size of america, deal with not only your own politicians who rarely agree on anything, a country who who is shuning the one and true God it was founded on, the very country in which the citizens that in majority don't even vote and a world of approximatey 191 countries that can't agree on anything either yet you could do it right. Did you ever even run for an office? How about your marriage, is that a success? Are you a dad and if so have you raised an honorable child? Are you a star student or employee who has gotten all perfect performance scores? If you've failed at any of those what makes you think you can run the most powerful country in the world?
