1. Bozo speaks again !
Septimus ,   Rome   (08.27.08)
Another Iranian loophole. each day bring its new declartions showing how desperate the Shiite entity is. After weeks telling us about their new flawed "secret" weapons; now yet another cannard: the muslim world will support Iran. ! These guys should be nuts, or believeing that the west is as stupid as they are to believe such nonsense. All teh gulf nations despise Iranians yet more than teh US and Israel. the other main muslim states doe snot support Iran, becaus ethey are shiites, becaus ethey are fanatic, because they bank on revolution and all thes ecountries are looking for stability. Iran is considered by most arab country like a tumor in the middle east, and they will be more then happy theat the US or isrel is doing the dirty job, of cutting that rotten regime from the map.
2. Really
Ilan ,   Tel Aviv   (08.27.08)
"he presence of US forces all around Iran's borders, in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Gulf, made them too vulnerable to reprisal attacks. " It also makes Iran rather exposed on every front dont you think? The other point to think about it, all in all it is very unlikely Israel will attack - and by all this rehtoric Iran makes it seem as if they are winning the war-of-wills - giving Iran more regional influence. We need to have an active voice heard in the world with a simple message about the harm Iran is causing to everyone - and most of all its own people - where is our version of Nasrallah or Ahmedinijad - we have lots of politicians talking too much, with too many hair brain suggestions!
3. Iran: our muslim brothers will protect us... Ha, ha, ha!
Guido ,   Milano Italy   (08.27.08)
Your muslim 'brothers' will be delighted to bury you alive today, this very moment, if they had the chance. You are traitors to the main islamic stream, you are kaferoun... Hezbollah might try a thing or two, but at what price? The destruction of Lebanon?... Are you dreaming or are you stupid, Mohamed Ali Jafari?
4. So what?
moriah ,   sacramento, usa   (08.27.08)
We have the G-d of Heaven!
5. The window of opportunity to attack Iran is NOW
David Powell ,   Everett, Wa. USA   (08.27.08)
I predict the window of opportunity to attack Iran is closeing. Russia is shipping advanced missiles to Iran and it is time to hit before they come online and before the next president of the US is coronated be it Hussein Obama.
6. You have 68 days left before the election is finished.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (08.27.08)
The United States has several thousand nuclear weapons at its disposal also. Don't think they won't be used if you do attack american troops on the ground. The United States is sick of Iran's terrorism......instigation of terrorism.....and meddling in other countries affairs in the Middle East to cause a holocaust against the Jews. Iran will no longer have missiles or a military in the coming year.
7. Is Ahmadinejad afraid ?
Robert Bernier   (08.27.08)
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
8. Iran is right but not because of their balistic abilities
zionist forever   (08.27.08)
He is right that at least some missles would hit the arrow & patriots combined would take out most so damage would be as minimal as possible. Israels has 3 problems that will make an attack impossible. 1) The US this close to an election and with Condoliza Rice and Robert Gates around the US wont allow Israel to do anything and Israel has sold so much soverignty to the US since the 80s and is continuing to sell more for short term financial rewards. If the US say no then Israel wont do anything. 2) Israel does not have courageous leaders men like Arik Sharon might have been willing to defy the US and Iran but Olmert, Barak & Livni are all spineless. Even Peres founder of Israels neuclear program was against the attack on Saddams reactor in 1981 because he was worried what France would say about it and begin had to move the attack forward because Peres threatened to go public to put a stop to it. 3) Lack of assets. Iran is ready for an attack Saddam Hussain wasnt and its spread its neuclear sites around the country. Without large numbers of aircraft with stealth capabilities coming all the way from Israel where each jet would have at most 1 bombing run before having to escape Iranian jets & air defenses and back to Israel. The only ones capable of doing this are the US, they have hundreds of fightrers on Irans front door including stealth aircraft. US can take Iran by surprise, sink and make a whole series of bomb runs over various strategic targets like air bases, ships in port, missle launch sites, airt defense batteries F/A 18s, B2 bombers Tomohawk missles. If the US were willing to do it they could Israel though cant. So the Iranaians are right Israel wont attack but for the wrong reasons.
9. We are stopped only by the cowardice of our current leaders.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (08.27.08)
But we will change gov't.'s before you get the bomb & then, all bets are off. And don't count on your allies - they may decide staying alive is more important than you are.
10. "this country lacks strategic depth"
eddie ,   london, UK   (08.27.08)
The enemy of Israel knows the situation better than its leaders! The PM and also the Labor party wish to surrender the west bank and Golan. Without even thiis minimal strategic depth, you don't need Iranian missiles, - the hamas and Syria can cause huge damage to Israel with their short range missiles.
11. Countering these challenges
Brod ,   USA   (08.27.08)
Israel needs a new strong government that will counter these challenges. The dark forces know that a weak government can easily be bullied to submission.
12. SSSSHHHHHH SEPTIMUS.....#1
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (08.27.08)
You should not disclose all that in your talk-back.Imagine that you are giving away all the secrets to them.Just ask them to carry out the mission..................................but in the process make sure no one gives you a slap,Septimus.Some readers think you have gone bonkers.
13. Israel threatens to run uninstall on photoshop
Danny   (08.27.08)

14. Other arabs would love to see ack-dumb-ajughead dead.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (08.27.08)
15. NO TERRY,IT IS MUCH MORE THAN........#9
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (08.27.08)
Cowardice.A person of your calibre was the last I would expect to read a talk-back from.Do not underestimate the Iranians,Terry.I thought a brief encounter of a lower magnitude was probably not enough for you to learn a lesson.Don't you ever get carried away with this rhetorics that people are used to this coloumns.A resounding and unimaginable scenerio will unfold if Iran is attacked.You can rest assured.
16. Mahmood 12
Septimus ,   Rome   (08.27.08)
Get factual Mahmood who will help Iran.. the saudis ? the kuwaitis, the qataris ? Egypt, or maybe Jordan ? oh yess you count on the few Shiites gang in Lebanon. Hezbollah is of no match. It will be clezared like the cockroaches they are. No, you are damn alone. Nobody in the Middle east have sympathy for your devilish regime. As for your "mighty" army. Why are your commander so afraid, and so keen to warn, and warn again ? Is that in itself a sufficient proof of the iranian weakness ! War will soon reveal Iran weakness and its egime will fail.

23. #15
Knightarm ,   New York   (08.27.08)
Hey Mahmoud (of Europistan), your "unimaginable scenario" that will occur when (not if) Iran is attacked and destroyed is that more women throughout the Moslem world will be blowing themselves up in their kitchens and bathrooms as an ode to Allah. And the civilized world will celebrate and rejoice in the Shiite regime's demise.
24. To MAHMOOD
GOODMOOD ,   eu   (08.27.08)
Muslims are not defending even themselves. Kuwait, Afganistan,... In Iraq they desperately kill each other. Those are Iran's allies? Or may be mullahs are counting on Kurds, he-he... Why fellow Arabs are not liberating pallies after all? I hope you know the answers.
25. #10 My thoughts exactly
Neil ,   USA   (08.28.08)

28. to Siad 22
Septimus ,   Rome   (08.28.08)
I had to laugh when I read your post. The US will bomb Israel to protect Iran ! What a BS ...Sure ! and the first man on the moon was probably a black turbanned sayyed Ayatollah ! Your post demonstarte the completely irrational way of thinking of Iranian Shiite regime and show why you are really dangerous, vbecause you are living in your own world of dreams and such kinds of people should not, and will not be authorized to get nuclear, at all cost. I understand that your leadership is scared to death by the prospect of a war that they will loose. But this is the inevitable path. Your entity is doomed to fail miserably. And this is not that cheap propaganda speches that will make the free world waver one second to hit you.
