1. Paradox
Invicta ,   Europa   (06.30.08)
Just what the world needs - more US inspired lies and falsehoods about Iran being weighted down with nuclear weapons and Iran's desire to launch them against the West in a vision of apocalypse. Just like the lies we were spun against Iraq. And that was all falsehoods - and a horrible mess to boot. Iraq was a disaster for the Iraqis, for the UK and for the US. It's funny that those who constantly go on about Freedom and Democracy in the ME, namely the US and Israel are the two countries who are most responsible for death and destruction in the region. Funny that. That must the sublime paradox - end the violence by creating and causing more violence.
2. If only....
Fradi ,   NY US and A   (06.30.08)
we could invent a land mover. Imagine Iran off the east coast of the US. Right next to Kennebunkport where Bush keeps his boat.
3. BIG SCHPIEL! Iron fist? Try hand of sand!
Stewart ,   USA   (06.30.08)
4. PS Sound like Benito Musselini. We know where he is.

6. #1, The paradox
(06.30.08)
The paradox is that it is exactly unsuspecting pathetic Eurabian washout appeasers like you that would be the first and easiest targets of Islamofascist Jihadi terrorism inspired by the likes of the Iranian regime. Israel is on guard against that sort of menace. You on the other hand are nothing more than a trash-talking hypocritical loser who plays the worn-out unoriginal pastime of false accusing and maligning Israel, and using the usual cowardly unoriginal anonymous nick me to boot. One should almost feel sorry for you.
7. I'm quaking in my boots!

8. Once Again...
California Bear ,   Berkeley, CA, USA   (06.30.08)
Iranian statements are blatantly hyperbolic and omitting some key facts. He can say what he has to say for domestic consumption. If they strike U.S. forces, may God help Iran because it's not going to be pretty for that country. U.S. GROUND FORCES are definitely stretched thin throughout the globe. U.S. Naval and Air power is at full capacity and can rain havoc on the Islamic Republic. I hope he and the armed forces of Iran take that into consideration before doing anything stupid. Yea, those 15-20 thousand graves will come in handy... for Iranian soldiers.
9. Invicta the classic victim...
elijah888 ,   USA   (06.30.08)
raise your terror alert level from RUN to HIDE. When they find you - Surrender and Collaborate. Then wait for the US to come in and save your sorry ass. I could take you over with a pencil knowing that the concept of defending yourself is beneath you. What a fool....and a coward! Never fight back, always lose, never learn - It's the European way!

11. Is Ahmadinejad afraid ?
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (06.30.08)
The economic situation of the Iranian population is dreadful. Ahmadinejad cannot afford the risk of an Israeli attack on the Iranian nuclear installations and/or other vital targets – he might face a popular revolution supported by a part of the Iranian army. That could be the beginning of the end of the fanatical Islamic regime. Would Ahmadinejad take such a risk ? More about Iran today at : http://xrl.us/biz87
12. #1 Your Paradox
Cynthia ,   USA   (06.30.08)
How convenient for you to ignore the fact that Iran has been threatening to destroy Israel on a weekly basis and the vision of an apocalyspe is that of the Iranian president. In addition, Israel is now involved in a prisoner exchange because of the unprovoked attack by Hizbullah against Israel in 2006. You seem to have sublime amnesia when it comes to facts surrounding your topic.
13. another comical Ali..
Alex   (06.30.08)
..is waiting when 320000 Americans, obeying Zionist orders, go straight on Iranian machine guns to find thier pity end. By the way I've heard Washington DC has been besieged by Revolutionary Guards, is it still holding? Cheney should drink poison soon, and Condoleezaa will meet her dark destiny. Follow the news.
14. Iran has attacked Israel through Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (06.30.08)
now it't time it feels the "iron fist" of Israel. And yes, Iran should also know that the scope of the war is controled by TWO sides and Israel will make sure that Iran's Nuclear initiative of destroying Israel will be met with the most devastating blow Persia had since the Persian Empire fell.
15. #1 - Paradox - more Muslim pathetic rhetoric
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (06.30.08)
The real paradox is that Muslims like "invicta" (or is it "evicta"?) claim that the West is liying about Iran's intentions. The West only repeats what the Muslim clerics and dictators say openly to everyone who just cares to listen, in Farsi, Arabic and English. If the West lies that it is only logical that the Muslim clerics and Dictators lie too. Toruble is that they don't lie at all! THAT IS THE REAL PARADOX! So invicta, take your Islamo-Leftist babble somewhere else. Your pathetic lies do not work on Israeli forums.
16. Hatred and stupidity makes ugly! Look at that Ape's picture!
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (06.30.08)
17. To #1
AlbertoGa ,   St George UT, USA   (06.30.08)
Dear #1 If your Iranians friends where happy I would take your text seriously. The problem with your statment it is not part of reality on the ground. After the Shah of Iran the Mullah and Pals where received as liberator. The problem dear Sir is that the Iranians are living with a tyranical type of ME Nazi Org. Now. They the Iranian people will enjoy when Iran Nukes sites will be obliterated. The question is when. So Dear Sir, please be patient.
18. IF IRAN IS FLATTENED THE ATTACKERS MADE THE DECISION FOR HIM
LOLOL SILLY GUY LOL. ,   ..............DACON9   (06.30.08)
19. Iron fist, huh? more like a hairy monkey-paw!
(06.30.08)
20. america
(06.30.08)
the navy just stated that if the iranians close the straits of hormuz, it will be tantamount to a declaration of war, which the usa navy will execute with utmost precision. we already know that on those destroyers, there are thousands of bomber pilots itching for action. the iranian 230,000 graves won't be for our soldiers since not a single usa army boot will pass into iran. their anti aircraft missiles sold to them by russia are a joke and we have seen how the iaf dismantled and rendered them efficient in syria. iran has the same anti aricraft missiles as well from russia. those batteries were made useless by iaf jamming and tgrickery. rely on the iaf, the best air force in the world to stand for cover from their side. a joint operation such as this by usa and aif will render those 320,000 graves very very useful to the iranians. maybe even an internal revolution after the bombing damage by the youth of isran and 100% of the respressed iranians will follow the complete mayhem usa and iaf will created as a reality on the iranian soil. this time, the un will never be listened to. never. no cease fire, no collateral damage consideration, no pull out untill the nuclear sites and iranian army is totaled.
21. once iran is done with by iaf and usa navy
(06.30.08)
you can bet that hizbullah and hamas will be a goner. no terror money, no support, no revolutionary guard instruction and terror training, no going to iran for training, etc... hizbullah and hamas without iran will be negligeable. as to syria, it will end up orphaned to death. they better know which side they must be on. their time will come as well.
22. #16. Doc, I'm glad you're seeing the family resemblance, too
Persian CAT   (06.30.08)
23. #17. I can tell you when, Sire.
Persian CAT   (06.30.08)
I will be convinced that IAF will attack or participate in an attack on Iran, ONLY when I read or hear that IAF pilots are ready to become SUICIDE BOMBERS. Only then, dear Sir.
24. #23: Persian Monkey: wasting time in an Internet Cafe ---
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (06.30.08)
-- instead of digging graves? Ah, I forgot. It is not the Persian lords who do the digging - it is the Arab Sunni minorities, the homosexuals and Jews, eh? Just fitting for an Islamo-Fascist "empire", I am happy however that we agree on Ahmed's great looks! He always manages to bring the worst in him. As I said: hatred and stupidity makes ugly. And in your case, you do come across as pathetic as expected. Ahmed has a tough competition but I think that he can beat you any day - even if you do your worst!
25. The bigger the Iranian response the better
avrom ,   bet shemesh   (06.30.08)
because then Israel would have a good pretext to obliterate the Iranians,Syrians .Hezbolloh and Hamasand then THE WAR ON TERROR will be finished AND THERE WILL BE PEACEThis fact should only serve to encourage Israel to attack Iran
26. BARELY WORTH A COMMENT: IF THERE'S WAR = NO IRAN.
DOOMHAM ,   PARASITE-UK   (07.01.08)
Iran is not a superpower. No, not at all. One way or another Iran will be dealt with.Comprehensively.
27. possible scenario
loscochinos ,   east la   (07.01.08)
israel cant attack iran on its own. the best way for israel is to have the us to do the job. bush/cheney will make it happen after the elections. we will see lot of iranian casualties with bombs dropping on iranian soldiers specially on the iraqis border. the problem is the us doesn't have enough firepower to kill more than 5-7 million iranians - forget about using nuclear weapons - this will leave around 5-6 million bassij ready to fight in afgh + iraq. the rest is pretty obvious. iran will do its best to sabotage the supply of energy and ultimately the refueling of the us troops stretched up over thousand miles. no food, no oil. you are stucked. with no way to stretch up, the blockage of the us army will allow iranian bassij to walk toward israel - forget about the IAF intercepting them - and fight over there as well. the important again is not how much firepower you have, it is how ready to die you are. lets see whats gonna happen. israel shouldnt follow aipac's dictatorship. they dont give a damn about israel's survival.
28. Israel needs to call suicide hotline!
IRAN#1   (07.01.08)
Iran is not your suicide hotline. But they will oblige if you insisted.
29. #27
Jew   (07.01.08)
don't worry about the Jews or Israel. You should worry about your gang problems in east la. when the time is right, we will strike Iran. I urge all Iranian intellectuals to leave Iran now. All peace loving Iranians should evacuate. There will be a very large death toll in Iran later this year.
30. better dig those graves..
Jew   (07.01.08)
for their own soldiers. i guess blind hate is just blinding. oh well.
