34. IF ONLY HE KNEW WHAT PRICE
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (08.20.10)
Israel will have to pay should it indulge in any mischief on its own or tries through USA.Nothing has changed and nor will it so in the future.Iran has the right to use the Nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.Just because of pressure from a certain lobby in the USA,Israel thinks it would be able to achieve anything,then it has underestimated Iranian strength and determination.
35. Well now
Cameron ,   USA   (08.20.10)
The Europeans starting to beseech those uncultured cowboys to deal with issue decisively after the years of EU diplomacy proved to be a non-productive farce? Reminds me all too much of who they finally had to beg to intervene to put an end to the chaos of collapsed Yugoslavia.
36. 26 Join Up Brod
Mark of Lewiston ,   Lewiston USA   (08.20.10)
If that is the thing you want, put your butt and your kids on the line. Join the IDF or French Foreign Legion. Both will teach you the language. C'mon Brod, let's move fast, The only chance has come at last, Be the first one on you block, To have your boy come home in a box. And it's one, two three, what are we fightin' for . . .
37. OK, boss...
Persian CAT   (08.20.10)
38. "under US leadership"
HP ,   USA   (08.20.10)
"under US leadership" That's a good one. We have none in office at present.
39. The US ia a nation of laws...
Mark ,   Boston, USA   (08.20.10)
and while Iran is operating within the laws of the NPT (and the US is in harm's way of ANY Iran attack) the people of the US will not allow itself to be engaged in what would necessarily be a long, drawn-out war. Of course, if Israel wants to send all of it's own people, who could complain?
40. Why?
Tribe of Abraham ,   New York, NY   (08.20.10)
Why should the world threaten Iran for Israel? Because you say so? Because they "Are in violation of UN resolutions?" No country on earth is in more violation of UN resolutions as Israel. And your track record on accurately admitting what a country is in possession of (We still remember Israel's culpability in Weapons of Mass Destruction) leaves some thing to be desired. So why? Why should our children die for your children? We no longer see it in America the same way you do. The Hasbara is no longer working. Get another gig.
41. #1 How do you spell panic?
Cynthia ,   USA   (08.20.10)
Iran is shooting down anything that moves including their own jets and drones. Oops!
42. Yanks to the rescue!
Cameron ,   USA   (08.20.10)
Or perhaps not. Good luck convincing Obama & crew to open a 3rd front, particularly when Iraq is so quiet the US is withdrawing combat troops. You may very well have truly hit the limit on reasonable, feasible options with this Iran scenario, Israelis. Good luck.
43. What I liked most of George W. Bush was
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (08.20.10)
the ultimatum he gave to Saddam Hussein and his sons... This was high drama and the right thing to do... But Hussein Obama is a Muslim and he will always stick to his brothers in faith...
44. SARAH TAKES THE CHARGE......#1
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (08.20.10)
She has an excuse when something does happen and also when something does not.This time round,make a note that it is her 57th.attempt to find one or the other excuse.We may make some additions to her excuses and reasons next July,come summer.
45. to American talkbackers bashing Israel
bob ,   New Zealand   (08.20.10)
when Obama took office one of the most significant threats to America was the prospect of Iran obtaining nuclear weapons and supplying a device to terrorists. This threat existed and grew throughout the term in office of GWBush but his credibility was so damaged in Iraq that he had no stomach for taking on Iran. As for ''taking on Iran'' there is no easy solution which is bound to stop Iran without bringing about a disaster. Israel is under threat for sure but a nuclear Iran is seen by the US first and foremost as a huge threat to America itself. All talk of ''fighting Israels wars'' is misinformed - you need to worry about bombs reaching the USA the ''big Satan'' .
46. Smoke and Mirrors
Christopher   (08.20.10)
Tomorrow, unless Israel is going to do something Friday night. Iran will begin a process to fire up a nuclear plant, something Netanyahu said, during his election campaign and on multiple other occasions he wouldn't allow to happen. The Israeli Finance Minister in calling for an attack on Iran by the United States is setting up Obama for a fall so that Netanyahu can say that Iran firing up Bushehr was preventable but the United states wouldn't let him do it. The fact is Planet Earth is going to tolerate a Nuclear Iran, Europe has set up or is in the process of setting up a missile shield to protect themself. Look like Israel ius being left to their own devices. You want to attack Iran go right ahead. We fought a war on Israel's behalf in Iraq, we are not about to embark on an another one
47. To: No. 44
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.20.10)
Scare you that much, do I? Make a note that Mahmood the Iranian lives in London. Not Bushehr. Any surprise there? Oooh. Speaking of -- hey -- those guys that bombed the London tube? Did they belong to your mosque, Mahmood? Friends of yours? Why aren't home at Bushehr, manning the ramparts? Me, personally? I'm headed back to Israel on Sunday. So .... Mahmood ... are you FINALLY ready to put your money where your mouth is? 'Course not! Silly me. You aren't interested in going anywhere NEAR Iran AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT. That kind of makes you an irrelevant phony but -- what the hey -- we all knew that already.
48. We hear and obey...
joe   (08.20.10)
Yes, master and good leader.... we hear and obey. Wait first let us our generals how many of our boys will die in the process. We shall let you know. Cheers meanwhile... and hope our Mothers and fathers are ready for it.
49. #48, Are YOU ready for the Iranian nukes
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (08.20.10)
??? Iran is so strong BECAUSE of all the wimps in the world---ALSO and FOREMOST in the United States of America, ONCE the home of the brave... Come on and build your mosque on Ground Zero, UBL will be thankfull to YOU...
50. 49 Chris - Where are the German Troops?
Mark of Lewiston ,   Lewiston USA   (08.20.10)
Where are the half million German volunteers. As I said before, you guys gather a million, ground and airborne troops, we can find you a General. Just be prepared for lots of casualties and at least a 10-20 year stay. Unless you insist on Israeli tactics, then the stay will be forever. They have no concept of an exit plan.
51. Who Is This Clown? Issue Your own ultimatum
Sheik Rattle & Roll ,   USA   (08.20.10)
Why doesn't Israel give the Ultimatum? Just by saying that he is sending Iran a signal that the Israeli threat to strike Iran is a bluff. Why should the US use its massive military might when Israel can use its own massive military might. Why not an Israeli strike and or naval blockade. Come on Mr. Minister MAN-UP and do the job your self. Push your own government to issue an ultimatum. We will fight when we want or need to fight not because another government wants us to do. Why should America soldiers die when your country in so many words state that Israel has the best Air force, Army, Navy, Marines, etc. MAN UP MINISTER or stick to budget issues.
52. Good bye America
norman ,   France, Eurabia   (08.20.10)
Iran is so strong because americans are so fat. Because they are so weak... Oh scuse me, just some american, just democrats for whom "tout le monde il est beau, tout le monde il est gentil"
53. To: No. 40
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.21.10)
You have it all backwards, actually. Americans have never died for a single Israeli or a single Jew. A lot of Americans died in Beirut, though. Some died in Iran. A LOT have died in Afghanistan, Iraq and Waziristan. Some died in Kosovo. Some died in Saudi Arabia. Some died in Somalia. And, of course, there's the little matter of the USS COLE, the bombing of the United States Embassies in Kinshasa and Nairobi and let us not forget September 11. Wow. That's a whole heckuva lot of Americans dying for Moslems and Arabs or BECAUSE of them. Get your facts straight; get another gig, yada yada.
