2. Obama guarantees Bibi to keep 4-decade-old nuke secret ...
Central Scrutinizer   (10.03.09)
"Obama gave Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu guarantees that he will keep a four-decade-old secret understanding between the US and Israel over its nuclear program ...." Well I guess now that cat's outta the bag. So much for well-kept secrets.
3. Remember 9/11 .. lol Now Remember
RJBH ,   Methil   (10.03.09)
what its all about... I guess the US needs Another wake up call.
4. Why not Egypt, Morocco or Iran, wake up world
(10.03.09)
5. Am I missing something here?
Nour ,   Palestine   (10.03.09)
Didn't this same man Obama recently start a fuss about international DE-armament and the eradication of nuclear weapons? Oh sorry, different rules apply to Israel, oh the ever eternal victim of Arab "terror" and world "anti-semitism". Israel, of course, is above the law. It can occupy, expand, murder and demolish at will. The opposite reaction is "terrorism", while its own audacity is "self-defense". Right Obama, "change" we can use to wipe our ass. Your hypocrisy knows no bounds. Truly, I will be impressed if you manage a single achievement besides being the first negro president.
6. Sorry folks!For me Richard Nixon was always the greatest!

7. THE CHOICE IS YOURS,MR.OBAMA
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (10.03.09)
No need to tell the world what you will and will not ask Israel to do but the course of action envisaged for Iran is NOT going to work in isolation as well.Comprehensive deals,and you very well know what it means,will have to be worked out.Iran will NOT,once again,stand in isolation to agree to situation where the status quo remains and Israel has no obligation at all.Mr.Obama, if that is your plan,you may as well know the result of this hue and cry that you have created against Iran.You will have to,at one stage, make a hard choice of talking to Israel.No deals will be made in isolation with Iran.If you feel trapped,be it so.
8. #1, observer = no. Hahaha!

9. What a Bad Joke.
Resistor   (10.03.09)
So Israel has done no testing of its nukes in the last 40 years? And never will, cross its heart and hope to die? Israel must be made to come clean on all its nukes, where they are, and what they can do, because Israel just loves peace,and Israel just hates to be isolated. Obama changes his underpants everyday-that's all, and oh, maybe his mind. I liked Tricky Dicky too #6 Alan, but keeping Isreal's "secret" was not one of his best choices.

As always, Israel puts US President in a humiliating position, complicates US policies, and undermines world stability and proliferation of WMDs

(10.03.09)
nour, you have been missing A LOT OF THINGS AS EVIDENCED IN YOUR TALKBACKS. you are not intelligent enough to think clearly and it is obvious why...hate blinds you and your people. please refrain from calling a man, a NEGRO! the term negro has gone out of style since many "negroes" got their independence and civil rights in the usa, unlike all the "negroes" arabs who still suffer under extreme opression, yes, even the so called palestinians, under arab regimes, in concentration camps built by your people, by arabs, for arabs. you of all people should refrain from passing judgement on the world. so, nour, if obama was immediatelly pro palestinian, he would be a "man". now that he is sane and conforms to a sane path regarding israel and palestinians, he's all of a sudden a "negro"??? you are shameful indeed! where did you get your education? in the slums of jenin? hameed aboughaze, iranian

(10.03.09)
mahmood, the noose is tightening against iran as we speak. you know it, i know it and the world at large knows it. yes, iran will be indeed treated in isolation because by its action ans rhetoric, it simply brought this on itself. no one helped it to become the pariah of the world. economic sanctions that relate to gas/oil imports are beings prepared as we speak and i am convinced that the entire world will support them...except you of course. but then again, you are also an isolated incidence as well and no one has been payingany attention to your inane analysis and rantings. be it as it may, the ahmadinejad regime is a cancer to iranian interests, a cancer to its population that wants freedom and democracy and a cancer to the stability of this region. eventually, it will collapse from within because people such as myself will never tolerate living under a mad theocracy with centuries old ways of life. we want to live as a civilized nation, as a free society and free of mullas and islam that represses our standing in the world and makes us all look rediculous because of what this president says, because of his threats, his insane rants about holocaust and jews. enough is enough. we want out of this centuries old theocracy. we want freedom. hameed aboughaze, iranian
16. #11: always the fault of israel
tom ,   toronto, canada   (10.03.09)
#11, your use of the word "humiliation" makes me think that you are an arab. israel is "humiliating' the united states by not rolling over and playing dead. israel is "humiliating" the arab world by not behaving like a good dhimmi and losing wars. israel is responsible for the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction in the arab world, by daring to exist! if it were not for israel, the entire arab world would stop killing its own people, in gaza, in iraq, in sudan, in afganistan, etc. the real "humiliation" is that the arab world has the lowest literacy rates on the planet, and is determined to return itself, AND THE REST OF HUMANITY, to the "good old days" of the 9th century. its solution to "humiliation", is to deny the most basic human rights to women, children, non-noslems, homosexuals, and anyone else who dares to "humiliate" them by being smarter, better educated, or wealthier. yeah, right! so #11, your logic is inescapable - whatever happens, blame the jews!
17. #14 Hello Iranian
Nour ,   Palestine   (10.03.09)
First off what business is it of yours to meddle in Palestinian affairs? Bozos like you are the reason Hamas thinks it has carte blanche to hijack 1.5 mil Palestinians and stage an armed coup! Shame on you! Your country is governed by fanatics and you have the balls to come here and preach me about racism and bigotry? Leave Palestine to Palestinians and stop shoving your nose where it doesn't belong. This is unless you're a Sephardim, in which case you're discriminated against and rubbished in Israeli society, to the point where you need to change your name to be admitted to an OK university! Now buzz off, we've got work to do: reversing 100 years of violent and aggressive Zionism. The Jews here must be pacified and made to accept a one station secular solution. Hasta la vista clown.
18. #14 furthermore...
Nour ,   Palestine   (10.03.09)
...Since you asked, and are curious (which flatters me) I got my education at Canada's oldest, most notable university. Where did you get yours? Teheran's brothels, or hashish Central?
19. #5 Trust me, all other black candidates will be judged by
his failures.He will ,   be the last black 1.   (10.03.09)
20. #14 Wrong. The word negro is still acceptable.The word
n-g--r,is still used ,   amongst negros.   (10.03.09)
21. #3Yeah,the last wake up call we go ended the lives of over
Myself ,   USA USA USA USA   (10.03.09)
100,000 muslims in Iraq, and Afghanistan. Number is probably higher actually. So yeah, please feel free with that wake up call. We have better weapons now, and more of your terrorists brethern will be meeting allah as he welcomes them through the gates of hell.
22. OBAMA IS A USED CAR SALESMAN
zionist forever   (10.03.09)
He will tell everybody what they want to hear and then do what the hell he likes. During his election campaign he paid a visit to the Kotel put in the wall a note not even written by him personally and he said he supports an undivided Jerusalem as Israels capital. The palestinians compalined and the very next day he retracted that statement and said he supported its division. He will make this promise now and then as soon as Iran demands that Israel disclose its own nuclear program & be disarmed as a condition of any deals with them or the saudis demand as their latest peace plan a nuclear free region a plan which of course only affects Israel then Obama will be backing Israel be disarmed. Ahmadinejad can be trusted more than Obama and Bibi must not allow himself to fall into any traps this Amelek sets.
23. FAR FETCHED CONCLUSIONS,'HAMEED'....#15
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (10.03.09)
You are judging the situation very prematurely.Just wonder if you are amongst the remnants of Shah who have nothing to do with the Islamic Republic.Your contention about the present Government is very much a repeatition of what you mostly read on this website.I will let your comments remain without any comment except to tell you that you are making a premature judgement.Iran stands firm with its objectives and is far from being isolated,Hameed.
24. Keep up with your double standards...
Marco ,   Spain   (10.03.09)
and Iran will acquire nuclear weapons faster than you can blink.
25. #5 Nour
Marco ,   Spain   (10.03.09)
"Truly, I will be impressed if you manage a single achievement besides being the first negro president." . You cant even give Obama credit for being the first black president. The credit goes to his father. Obama's achievement so far are NIL.
26. #17 Nour
Marco ,   Spain   (10.03.09)
#14 Hammed Aboughazi is not an Iranian, and has never been. He is a Zionist impersonating an Iranian. Iranians are honorable people that stood for the Palestinian cause ever since the overthrow of the Shah, unlike this BOZO impersonater!
27. #17 Nour
Marco ,   Spain   (10.03.09)
Nour, dont allow a clown like this impersonator Aboughazi get to you. Those in Iran today are not fanatics like the west tries to project in the media. They are hard working intelligent people that have achieved a lot in science and technology inspite of being under crippling sanctions. They have supported the Palestinian cause ever since they overthrew the evil corrupt Shah. This clown AbouGhazi is trying to tarnish the spotless image of Iran. Dont help him do that!
28. Iran's isolation
Nov ,   Jerusalem   (10.04.09)
No one would have stopped Iran from developing nuclear power or threatened sanctions against it, if it could be reasonably assumed they'd only use that power for peaceful energy, and/or as a doomsday-deterrent, as Israel is and has been doing in the past 4 decades. Ahmadinedjad, however, keeps reminding us his real intentions for this power is to "wipe" Israel off the map. This is why we cannot allow Iran to have the capacity to do so. Israel, on the other hand, has never even once threatened to use its alleged nuclear power except as a very last doomsday defence resort.
