2. Yeh OK - my prediction
Eyal ,   USA   (03.18.10)
When Israel and the US will launch a strike on Iran, this is what's going to happen: 1. They will take out all their air force, navy and whatever they can see from the air 2. Take our all the nuke facilities 3. Take out all the Government buildings, electricity and palaces, houses of all supreme leaders and Achmadanijad. 4. Syria will not do anything, they will just bla bla bla on TV, but will not get involved because they are chickens. They will probably send all of Iraq's old WMD to Hezbollah. 5. Hezbollah will start their rocket barrage, but not use the WMD yet 6. Gaza will start their rocket barrage 7. Iran will start their rockets barrage in the Persian Gulf and towards Israel 8. Israel will blow up Lebanon and Gaza to smithereens. 9. The US will strike back at Iran for their rocket barrage 10. Hezbollah will use the WMD and kill thousands of Israelis 11. Israel will nuke Damascus, Beirut and Gaza. 12. Israel will expand north to the Litani River, and north east towards Syria and will be the greatest and the most powerful country in the Middle East. 13. The Palestinians will lose everything and they will scatter to other countries, including Nour and Salma hehehehe or what'ever is left of them. This should end all Middle East wars.
3. Were Iran to be attacked
Bob ,   Beirut, Lebanon   (03.18.10)
Israel will burn and this time we will erradicate your spineless IDF
4. #3 Bob, Beirut, Lebanon
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (03.19.10)
Who should do this? Perhaps your Dear Leader who has not left his bunker for the last four years?
5. What business is a guy in Lebanon have with Iran?
Historical Observer ,   NY   (03.19.10)
He should concentrate on more important matters, like his cholesterol.
6. #3 If you could you would have done it a long time ago
Ben Alofs ,   Bangor, UK   (03.19.10)
Your ilk doesn't need any special provocation. The mere existence of a tiny Jewish State is a provocation to you, but you think it is OK for Arabs rule over an Empire of 22 conquered and occupied provinces spanning from the Persian (not Arab, that's another theft by you ) Gulf to the Atlantic Ocean and from the Horn of Africa to the Taurus Mountains.
7. #2 YOUR prediction
Mathew   (03.19.10)
what about if Iran nukes Israel in response of israeli nukes on lebanon or syria???? will the US strike Iran with nuclear weapons on Iran? Has Iran the capabilities to nuke the US And european proisraeli countries???? what will do Russia and China,if the battle endargened to a high level???? please,answer to me,your prediction don´t answer this reasonable questions.
8. iran
james ,   paris, france   (03.19.10)
actually iran has said what it will do, if it detects incoming aircraft/missiles then it will launch all it's thousands of missiles at dimona. you and the american's cant intercept all of them, and it will only take one to open that bomb factory & iradiate the whole region for thousands of years! and *then* there will be no more war in the region. the bottom line that you will never listen to, LIVE IN PEACE - OR DIE!
9. Qassem’s place is the back of the class-we know this already
Harry Wright ,   UK   (03.19.10)
When the strike comes, that will be the end game, no more options left. The longest rope has an end. Nobody wants war, yet they still occur. Rhetoric from Qassem will not stop it. One thing I know – Gaza will be the first to go the minute they fire the first rocket. Gaza will be Haiti in Israel's backyard. Syria will be glass because Assad has a lot to account for. Lebanon will be devastated and Iran - they will live with and collect enriched uranium for free for many, many years. What is to be, will be.
10. Which is why Hizbullah/Hamas will be targeted too
William ,   Israel   (03.19.10)
Did you think we would forget about you Naim when the Ayatollehs were targeted? Hell, no. Misery loves company and we'd love you to share in Tehran's as well.
11. Beirut boob
X'   (03.19.10)
You neded major antipsychotic tranquilizers to cure your delusions. The next war will be the last war as your Islamonzi heros will lead to the obliteration of your country, Syria and Iran. I hope you are looking forward to living in a black radioactive parking lot that will glow in the dark for the next 10000 years. The lucky people in your country will be the dead ones. With your ignorant unreasonable attitude, I'd suggest you do some think constructive like putting your head between your legs and kissing your butt goodbye.

Hal ,   Usa   (03.19.10)
The answer is nothing! Iran will be a smoking ruin, Russia and China will do nothing! Playing "what if" is easy. Playing "what will" is less easy. There is nothing reasonable in your question of "what if".
14. much of middle east should be burned down
bernard ross ,   st anns bay jamaica   (03.19.10)
15. #3...Israelis don't hind behind women
Rich ,   L.A., USA   (03.19.10)
The IDF, unfettered by weak political mandates, will kick the hell out Iran and any others who come against them. When the Jew haters think they are on the verge of final victory - you will be decimated. Damascus will be left a smoking ruin as well.
16. #7 - How old are you?
Eyal ,   USA   (03.19.10)
Why would Israel attack Iran if it had nukes already? The whole point is to blow the nukes to smithereens before they have nukes dummy. If Iran had any nukes by the time Israel attacks Iran, all Iran would have is 1 nuke, that's all. 1 will not push the great Zionists Regime of Israel to sea or wipe them out of the map. They tried that in Germany + Israel has a lot more nukes that will wipe Iran of the map. Go smoke some more of that crack your smoking. READ MY LIPS, IRAN DOESN'T HAVE NUKES. Read the news before commenting please.
17. Iran sponsors the world’s most vicious terrorist groups, ...
Ron B. ,   Lod   (03.19.10)
Iran sponsors the world’s most vicious terrorist groups, Hamas and Hezbollah. They have murdered Iraqis, Lebanese, Palestinians, and other Muslims who have resisted Iran’s desire to dominate the region. They have persecuted countless people simply because they are Jewish. Iran is responsible for attacks not only on Israelis, but on Jews living as far away as Argentina. Anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial are part of Iran’s official ideology and murder is part of its official policy. Ahmadinejad should be held accountable for inciting genocide, a crime under international law. Not even Iranian citizens are safe from their government’s threat to those who want to live, work, and worship in peace. Politically-motivated abductions, torture, death by stoning, flogging, and amputations are just some of its state-sanctioned punishments. More about Iran and Hezbollah at : http://xrl.us/beo22a
18. A lot of hot air
Argo   (03.19.10)
It is certain that IDF military planning on an Iranian attack will include concurrent and preemptive massive bombing and obliteration of much of central and south Lebanon, especially Hezbollah's missile depots. There will be very little left for Hezbollah to throw at Israel after the IDF is done.
19. NoBob Beirut
Tahrir Quds AlYahudi   (03.19.10)
Your president was crying to the UN and the world begging Israel to stop. Next coming war I would only say *******************

21. Hezbollah: Iran strike to ignite Mideast
Brian N Smith ,   Kingston, Canada   (03.19.10)
don`t worry about HEZBOLLAH AND IRAN , because they will be DESTROY WHEN OUR NEW MESSIAH JAVIER SOLANA OF GLOBAL UNION COMES TO POWER IN 2013 AND WAGES A HOLY WAR ARMAGEDDON AGAINST ALL ARAB NATIONS !
22. #4 Blob
Hal ,   Usa   (03.19.10)
Apparently you believe that your 2006 experiece was ameasure of what might happen if the Fat Queen miscalculates again. Blob, if and when, all the gloves will come of in an all out war. No amount of public crying will save you from an IDF and IAF that will not have Olmert to gum it up. No more hummus festivals for you guys. Iran will not save you and Syria will be iradiated in a flash. Careful what you wish for Blob.Your check might get cashed!
23. Hal, how many times can you wish...
Persian CAT   (03.19.10)
that the next "victory" won't be like the past IDF defeats?!!! I'm sure even you have heard that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing expecting different results.
24. israel is waiting
hazak hanavi ,   hasharon   (03.19.10)
ref' number 3 . our "spineless " IDF has proofed many times' his capabilities by overwhelming operations ' both in africa and the m.east ' (ALGERIA OGANDA "SYRIA IRAQ and LEBANON ) '
25. #23 Cat
Hal ,   Usa   (03.19.10)
I would say the same to you as well. Your description of defeat is fraught with the psycology of repetative actions that equate with insanity.The more Israel is attacked, the stronger it gets. This paradigm has been in effect for more than 60 years.The repetative actions by Israel's enemies have shown to be insane even by your definition. You have the notion that Israel has been defeated. Not once, but according to your logic, many times previously. I disagree. Where has the PA,PLO or Hamas ever gained an advantage over Israel through past or present activities? Where has Hezballah been successful? What advantage has Israel lost to Iran where you could rationally make an arguement for citing defeat? Are you not hypothesizing an outcome of an event that has yet to occur? If you are saying that in 2006, Israel lost and was defeated by Hezballah because it, Hezballah, was not eliminated, I would say that you are wishing and wrong. Under the least ideal situation for Israel in terms of the initial confusion of the Olmert govt, Hezballah still suffered greatly and has refrained from any actions that might create another encounter with Israel. Netanyahu will not be hamstrung in his or the IDF's response in the future. Mistakes made previously will translate into better and more refined tactics in the future. I don't call that a defeat. Hamas is walking on eggshells with respect to actions that will put it in the sights of the IDF. Even the recent rocket attacks have put Hamas on edge because they know too well that if the rockets do real damage, 100 Goldstones will not help them. Your point is clouded by your reluctance to accept reality. Iran has made many rhetorical statements about how they will deal with Israel, but in reality Cat, they too understand that they will lose more than what they are willing to accept. Iran has no real experience with warfare other than it's 8 year fiasco with Iraq. Goosestepping military parades and fiery speeches don't translate . to the batlefield. Talk is cheap and so far Iran operates safely through it's surrogates. But do you believe that they will retain that degree of separation if things get dicey? Even the monkey and his organ grinder don't want to lose their cushy status within their illegal junta. All the perks and priviledges are hard to give up. In their case money talks and bullshit walks. They like the money and power. They have no stomach for war. Beating up protesters is nmot the same as fighting a really good army. Contrary to popular opinion, if the shit ever hits the fan in your country, the regime will be hard pressed to keep the oposition from taking advantage of the caos that would occur. The fog of war would turn Iran into a free- forall. Your turn!
26. FYI
Logos_777 ,   Castro Valley, CA   (03.19.10)
I suggest you read the bible, if you have not already. My thinking is there will be a little skirmish, as always, then antichrist is going ot hammer out a 7 year peace plan. For the first 3 1/2 years he will be smooth as silk, the following 3 1/2 he will break his covenant and become the worst dictator this world has ever seen.
27. Qassem, your speech will not glow. you will
joe   (03.19.10)
Another idiot (among the others) opening his big fat mouth on the orders of another big fat slob, his boss ... nasralito, the longest living rat in Lebanon; almost 5 years in the same hole. Saddam wasn't so lucky.
