Shooting pilot   (08.17.08)
The stupidity of the Iranian statemant is so ludicrous that I had to laugh when I read the article. It is well know that Isreli pilots are among the very best in the world. They are even better than US pilots in doghfights training. Iranians have planes dating back to the 70's with some more recent migs thy got when Saddam send them there to hid eduring the 1st gulf war. Their pilots are of very low quality, inferior to syrians, Egyptians and even Jordanians. There are numerous crashes reported regulary in iran. In addition to that Iranians planes have no decoy method s capable to hide their movements to sophisticated radars. They will be intercepted and destroyed long before they will approach Israeli airsapce. the iranian threat don't come from their planes, rather from their nuclear projects, tht have to be stopped by a massive bombing. Time to sent these milleranistic fools a message that they will understand. One can understand with reactions such a these, why Iranians are unfit to hold N bombs. These guys are living in a world from thesmselves, believing in fairies, not saying they are completrely nuts to believe this for one minute. Assad Father tried in 1982 to send 85 of its then state of the art MIg 23 against Israel during the Lebanon war. This was close from their airspace and from their bases, with less than 4 minutes warning for Isreli jets to intercept them. No one of these planes came back to syria, all where shoot down in less tha 4 minutes of time, and no Israeli pilot was downed. But there are always dumb people who never learn ! Iranians seems belonging to those... Yeah please Mahmood, sen dus your flying ayatollahs' we will take care of them...

37. translation
tom ,   toronto, canada   (08.17.08)
it sounds like the first of iran's 250 sukhoi-30 fighter-bombers, with a range of 3,000 kilometers, are now officially declared operational. once the il-78 tankers join the party, they will have an operational range of 8,000 km. see: .

39. Iran has cure for AIDS,Iran has missles that can reach
Maurie ,   Israel   (08.17.08)
Israel,Iran only wants nuclear plants for nuclear energy. Irans ayatollahs love the Israelis. Irans economy is one of the best in the ME. Iran has nuclear subs that cannot be detected. Iran has the BEST Russian made SAM sites. Irans god makes them prosper and treats them with kindness. Irans students are in love with the current government. Irans homosexual community are not afraid to leisurely stroll down the streets. Irans gov't. ALWAYS tells the truth. Irans govt. NEVER kills off it's opposition.Iran NEVER doctor's any of it's photo's of it's missles being launched. Does ANYONE actually belive this bravado claiming, chest thumping,banchee screaming tribe of monkey followers?? You can defeat ah-jad just by feeding him a buch of bananas.!!

42. yes, don't mind the tax
Ben ,   USA   (08.17.08)
Here is another American saying I don't mind the tax used to defend the free world against terrorists. That's the good part about living in America. We allow each other freedom of speech. I hear freedom of speech is difficult to find in the Muslim world, Mahmood ... I sure hope the British get to keep freedom of speech, too. I hope they don't have to worry about having their tongues cut out of their mouths in the next decade or two because something they said violated someone's interpretation of Sharia law. I am sure they would not appreciate that.
43. Amazing Idiots in Iran
AlbertoGa ,   St George UT   (08.17.08)
It is time Dear Olmert to teach the Mullahs and the Mini Idiot in charge there a major lesson. The lesson must be Now. Or Dear Mr. Olmert go Home and let a real Israeli do Now what must be done. Iran must pay a price for treatening Israel over and over. Never again !

45. Iran won't have an air force after November 3rd.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (08.17.08)
What will they do????
46. To the Shia entity east of Iraq
dapperdanman ,   theoriginalcarlsbad   (08.17.08)
Don't waste time & money on how to fly there & back. All what you need is to get as far as Amman. Don't bother about repassage ...
47. #24 Mahmood
Nice bloke ,   Rochdale   (08.17.08)
Dear Mahmood The aid that the US gives Israel was part of the package negotiated to bring peace between Israel and Egypt. The actual amount $3bn is a drop in the ocean for the US economy and has to be spent there as well - thereby safeguarding US jobs. Moreover, in economic terms, Israels per capita GDP is greater than all her non-oil producing neighbours combined - including countries as far away as Algeria. I hate to be the one to break it to you but the argument that Israel exists because of US economic aid is a complete and utter fallacy.
48. #45 Ok, I'll bite. Why after November 3rd??
