Enzo ,   london,uk   (07.02.08)
What a shame you forgot to add: "I believe they're still on a path to get nuclear weapons and I think that's something that needs to be deterred" said Adm. Mike Mullen!!!
3. COMING TO THE REALITY,BUT GRADUALLY
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (07.02.08)
We have been hearing this for a long time from sources other than the Defence Department of USA.Is there anything new in the news?Certainly not.Retaliation is going to be severe..............we all know that.No for the retaliation in the talk-back from characters like Enzo.What do you think Enzo?
4. News for the Adm=these wars gonna last 30-40 more years
Alan ,   SA   (07.02.08)
5. interesting
Doron   (07.02.08)
it seems that iran wants to talk and so do the americans. they both have an incentive to not go to war. it seems that the israeli saber rattling is actually having an effect - iran knows that they will have to retaliate if attacked, and this may lead to american retaliation against them. the question is, are they trying to collude with the americans to stop an american response (bad for israel), or are they deciding to back down b/c it appears that an israeli strike is inevitable and the repercussions will lead to a situation that they probably don't want (good for israel)?
6. Good points there from Doron

I'm so proud to be mentioned by you in your talkbacks... I usually comment ARTICLES! You usually comment a COMMENT! What a torment!
8. USA will appease terror, then get hit BAD, then its too late
shneerhere ,   Chicago   (07.03.08)
9. US the strongest army in the world-stressed??
Rafi ,   Melbourne, Australia   (07.03.08)
I cannot belive an Admiral of US Army, the "strongest in the world" believes it will be stressed if another war starts, big deal Iraq,Afghanistan, is that all they can handle??
10. Doing nothing is suicide, go for life.

11. It is time to remember that time is short
AlbertoGa ,   st George UT, USA   (07.03.08)
All the rest is a lot of blah, blah. Who is willing to wait and see if the Iranians are going to be nice. It is 100% clear that with all the Oil in Iran the only reason they rush to make long range missiles and Nukes is to destroy Jerusalem and anything around. If the US is willing to wait and see. I think that this is Super madness. The Mullahs and the Little ugly monster are talking openly about the last days of Israel and of the Jews. Those are not just words comming from the New Nazi regime in Iran. They will use their Toys for sure. To be politicaly correct just before the US election and play with the Survival of the Jewish state is very Dangerous. To destroy their Industrial Nuclear sites Now is very important. The second Holocaust is around the Corner. NO JOKE
12. Commander should shut his mouth
Brod ,   USA   (07.03.08)
What is he thinking? Does he prefer having terrorist suitcase nuke exploding in Western Cities? Does he prefer to see a Mushroom Cloud over Israel? If he couldn't take the heat in battle he should quit. High Risk? The fact is the alternative is a thousand times high risk!
13. Maybe....
Peter ,   Milwaukee, USA   (07.03.08)
Maybe Israel already hit the reactor and Iran does not want to admit it....
14. Israel has proved to be the congenital loser, again.
Persian CAT   (07.03.08)
Once the platitudes are delivered by the French and American presidents, Israel is made to listen to the adults' advice. Israel has thrown enough tizzy fits that both the French and Americans are telling it to shut up and behave. And if Israel does something foolish, which I'm sure it won't because there are still some smart people there, GW is going to say, "the Jews made me do it". Don't you think so?
15. Prime Minister Putin of Russia went to each of the countries
Rivkah   (07.03.08)
listed in Ezekiel chapter 38 this year that form a Magog (Russia) led Muslim coalition with Gomer (Germany?) to attack Israel and to go up (north) to the land of unwalled villages to take a spoil in cattle (America or Canada). That is not the worst... Russia and Red China think America caused the earthquakes in Red China with HAARP weather weapons and Premier Putin went to the EU to tell them that when Red China and Russia attack America, the EU will get hit, too, if they interfere. Read the Prophetic Observer July 2008 article on pages 1 and 4 by Noah Hutchings for more information. Pray for the nations (America and Israel) and ask God to forgive the nations for sins that may hinder God's protection.
16. Israeli strike high risk
I.Kemp ,   Nahariya Israel   (07.03.08)
So what !? It would be a far bigger risk if Israel did nothing so did into"your courage basket" Mr Mullen and face reality
17. Mullen looks too tired, maybe he needs a vacation or so!
Asher ,   NY, USA   (07.03.08)
18. IT'S JUST A TACTIC. MASSIVE IRANIAN BELTING COMING
DOOMHAM ,   PARASITE-UK   (07.03.08)
The Americans are only saying this to lessen Iran's readiness. Take the heat out a bit. In any case if the US military is 'stressed' - then it just means they must use more powerful weapons to get a quicker result....and we know that if the US is not successful the first time...they just double or triple the dose. I haven't even mentioned Israel's contribution to the dismantling of Iran - who undoubtedly have the best military in the region...capabilities the Iranians can only wish for... Iran will not survive to enjoy any retaliatory actions they make against the US or Israel. They will be comprehensively smashed and both Israel and the US will 'sit on' them to make sure they dont get up again. Just wait and see.
19. Those who don't take risks never accomplish or have a damn
thing. ,   Donald Trump   (07.04.08)
