31. IAF aircraft in Iraq.
Buick from Boca ,   USofA   (07.11.08)
There may be aircraft with IAF markings operating in/over Iraq... but for reasons unknown they are flown by americans to... 1. raise tensions in the middle east. 2. pressure Israel. 3. payback for the USS Liberty. 4. I leave to ur imagination.
32. More mis-information
Stu   (07.11.08)
This is great... no one has a clue what is going on.
33. #1Wise guy
Raphael ,   Netanya   (07.11.08)
Did you realize that if your dear iranian friends drop a nuke on Jerusalem, your beloved Ramallah shall be a heap of ashes and yourself vitrified? Or did they promise you that the radiations stop at the green line? May I remind you that every home in Israel has a built in miklat, except those frauding the building permit, mainly in the arab sector.
34. 360 planes!
alex ,   usa   (07.11.08)
Ynet is wrong, my information it was 360 Israeli f-16 and f-15 and some other experimental attack and destroy planes, that took place in maneuvers. Proper way is for Iranian people to do what the rest of the world has in store FOR ITS REGIME.
35. Officials say...Israeli jets are flying over Iraq
Millicent ,   Israel   (07.11.08)
Yeah right and next you will be claiming that Elvis is alive and living in a trailer park in Florida! There is no way that the US would allow Israeli aircraft to operate in the Iraqi operations theater because if there was an accident and a plane crashed how would they explain that to the Iraqi Gov? The Iraqi gov. wouldn't stand for it and would cease helping the US troops on the ground and would align themselves with the terrorist to throw the US out! I doubt too that Jordan would allow the IDF to fly over its airspace for the same reason! Nice fictional story, perhaps it will frighten the Iranians... but it could also backfire on whoever came up with this story and lead to an attack on Israel before the Homefront is ready
36. Most of you haven't progressed beyond your animal instincts
Bijan ,   New York   (07.11.08)
Not Christian or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu Buddhist, Sufi, or zen. Not any religion or cultural system. I am not from the East or the West, not out of the ocean or up from the ground, not natural or ethereal, not composed of elements at all. I do not exist, am not an entity in this world or in the next, did not descend from Adam and Eve or any origin story. My place is placeless, a trace of the traceless. Neither body or soul. I belong to the beloved, have seen the two worlds as one and that one call to and know, first, last, outer, inner, only that breath breathing human being.
37. #1-camel in ramallah-remember he first gulf war?
Arie ,   BaGolan   (07.11.08)
Of all the scuds fired by saddam hussein against Israel to divert attention, the bulk of them landed on the West Bank - by you. Probability is that the missile systems will detonate any incoming iranian missiles over the West Bank as well. Poof - you lose!
38. To #1 and other Arab commentators on this site
ny ,   usa   (07.11.08)
How many people here think that the Arab States want the Persians to have nuclear warheads at their disposal? How many of you half-wits believe that the Jordanians and the IRAQIS (of all people!) wouldn't sell the Iranians down the river if it was in their best interests? Does anyone think for one minute that the Arabs are going to tolerate being bullied by a nuclear armed Iran any more than the Israelis or the Americans in Iraq are?
39. What would the Shiites and nationalist Iraqis do if...
Persian CAT   (07.11.08)
this were true? I think this kind of reckless behavior by Israel and the US would lead to the killing of hundreds of American soldiers and myriads of attacks on Israel and its international interests. I doubt it very much this is anything other than hype and spin by someone.
40. To the poor Kamal # 1. You ''palestinians'' are losers !
(07.11.08)
41. MAHMOOD- COUNTRIES WITH NUKE HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR!!!
MIRA ,   ISRAEL   (07.11.08)
42. buick
phil hert   (07.11.08)
Buick you been smiking some jamaican woodbines? Your consp theories are crap, You arent an author are you? coa you wouldnt sell a single book (except to family)
43. Iran
Denni   (07.11.08)
Please, lets just get this issue done, Iran must get it hit hard and then we can shut all the mouthes of these stupid iranians. We need to build a safer world, so please just do iran now and let the world see israel is here for good
44. America, Gods Mighty Son....
Destiny Comes.... ,   Gainesville, U.S.A.   (07.11.08)
Israel has a standing in Gods hand which No One will be able to remove Him. America, (Ephraim) is one of the twelve tribes of Israel. Ephraim will stand and fight with and for Israel to fullfill prophecy and Gods will. Those who know their God will understand the words which I speak. Be patient, and watch the Power of The God of Israel as his Judgement and Wrath unfolds. All who stand against the house of Israel will be destroyed. God does not need the permission of Jordan to fullfill His will. Destiny Comes....
45. Hey #1
D ,   Israel   (07.11.08)
The same words by 6 Arab countries in 1948!!! and look at the outcome! Same words by Saddam Hussein and look at the outcome. As for Hizballah, 4000 rockets only killed 40 people. Pretty lame deterrent if you ask me. With Iran, will be the same thing. We will destroy its nuclear capability - end of story.
46. I do not believe a word of this
Jake   (07.11.08)
More Arab conspiracy theories, at a time when the Iraqi government is trying to get a firm timetable for withdrawal from Iraq.
47. Iran.
to #44 ,   USA   (07.11.08)
You are correct. There are two Houses of Israel........Ephraim is coming to the aid of the House of Judah...........watch it happen. Moshiach is returning...........
48. NO WONDER IRAN IS BEING DENIED....#41
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (07.11.08)
Else the equation will change.No wonder the anxiety to deny Iran.Hmmmm!!!
49. #26, Dimona isn't in the Western Negev
Jake   (07.11.08)
It is more like eastern Negev, actually. Then again, you've never exactly been a stickler for accuracy. As for Israel launching an attack of WMD, I would say look at the actions of the Israeli government in the recent years. Most sane people would call it overly cautious, if anything. But if Israel is attacked, even a dithering fool like Olmert has his limits of patience.
50. absolutely false rumor
paola ,   milan, Italy   (07.11.08)
This news is absolutely false. The ONLY iraqi website that published that grotesque rumor is the SADRIST http://www.nahrainnet.net/ , the most unreliable source for information you can possibly have. Please, check your sources before spreading unsubstantiated rumors.
51. #21 Mahmood, London-UK
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (07.11.08)
Don't get all worked up - there's a lot of disinformation & misinformation floating around & believe me, as someone else said with great common sense, the Iranians are not sitting around reading Ynet to gather intelligence. But as I said, where there's a will, there's a way ..... The Iranians cannot know ahead of time just where the attack will originate from. If I were planning this operation, I would use all kinds of phoney operations like landing planes in Iraq & elsewhere. Maybe the strike will be from US aircraft carriers. Maybe from Ceylon. Maybe from Uzbekistan. Then again, it might really be from US bases in Iraq. You will not know for a very long time after the strike, when it doesn't matter anymore. I only said it's good news because I'm glad we're making plans .....
52. Iraq has already denied this false story.
Jake   (07.11.08)
53. The US and Saudis leave it to their patsy, Israel!
David Turner ,   Richmond, US   (07.11.08)
All of a sudden the US and the Saudis will stand behind Israel if she attacks Iran. Of course the United States won’t attack, even though American troops are facing the Iranians across the Gulf, and are most at risk from the Islamic republic. After all, the Bush got his NEI saying Iranian nuclear ambitions ended five years ago! So America has no reason to attack. Anyway, Bush is a lame duck, his successor would then inherit yet another massive blunder should the surgical strike prove to be another US Middle East blunder. And the Saudis, sure, give Israel your blessing; it cost nothing to let Israel defend you from the Iranian threat. Why, you don’t even have to openly acknowledge the support. After all, even though Israel is your strategic protector you have yet to even bestow recognition of your saviors right to exist! And of course, so long as you hide behind the veil of a unnamed Arab state you are not guilty of complicity in Israels actions, so not under Ahmadinejad’s warning of retaliation. And bonus of bonuses, if and when Iran is attacked oil prices skyrocket and the Saudis and the other monarchies have windfall profits, while the rest of the world can blame, yes, you guessed it, the Jewish pariah state for all the ills befalling the world! Of course nobody needs to take the risk. The US has its strategic patsy, Israel!
54. # 1
James ,   USA   (07.11.08)
Ha.ha,ha, wait and see what is going to happen in Ramallah ...... Keep on smoking.....
55. #1 Did you see what Israel did to Lebanon?
Laila ,   Montreal, Canada   (07.11.08)
#1 As usual you Palestinians are "blind" and living in lalalaland. Did you see what Israel did to Lebanon? And it could have been much worse so keep on laughing. And in Gaza they are still living in the Stone Age.
56. #26 Maybe Londoners should flee to Brighton
Liliane ,   Brighton, UK   (07.11.08)
#26 English person. Maybe yuo should flee from London to Brighton. You Londoners are less safe than the Jews in Dimona.
57. #52 Jake You don't really know if it's false.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (07.11.08)
We can't know a thing. Maybe it's false, maybe not. All you can know is that something is brewing & even that, you can't know what. This is not like the Gulf War I or II. In both instances, there was a massive movement of troops, battleships, aircraft carriers, etc. The US does not move all this crap around for nothing - it's expensive. You could predict 100% that the US was going to strike Iraq. With Iran, it's a different ballgame - this will be an air war, no one is planning to occupy Iran. But back to this Iraqi rumour - you just can't know who will betray whom in the Middle-East. Treachery is part of the culture, they betray each other all the time & as contradictory as it may sound, they are also loyal to a fault in circumstances one wouldn't expect. Iran is not exactly making friends & you can't even exclude the Russians from plotting against them (if the Iranians don't owe them too much money).
58. EVERYBODY LISTEN UP! This story came from JPOST&they said
they could NOT ,   confirm it! Jan,USA   (07.11.08)
59. You Go, Israel! Know this....God's goin with ya!
RobiMac ,   West Jefferson, USA   (07.11.08)
60. To Laila: What happened to lebanon?
Bjan ,   New York   (07.11.08)
My dear Laila, Yes. The whole world saw what happened to Lebanon: by using the abduction of two solders as an excuse, half of a country was destroyed and more than 1,000 civilians killed. I guess that makes you proud isn’t it? Great job.
