91. nuclear missiles!
amnon ,   Arizona, USA   (09.12.11)
Yes. the word "NUCLEAR MISSILES" on board that are programmed to take out Teheran, Mecca, Medina, Beirut, Ankara, Dubai, Lahore, Islamabad, Kabul, etc, etc.
92. The true God.
Martin Francis ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (09.12.11)
What I found remarkable is the Jew's forgiveness of Germany who in turn designed and built their subs. Compare this to the mindless hatred of the Arab world toward Israel The Jews god is God.
93. ARMY? SOLDIERS?
Nuke Nemesis ,   Shawnee, KS   (09.12.11)
Does the army really command the submarines? Do soldiers or sailors man the crew? Is this a translation error?
94. "Alan"
Gordon ,   Canada   (09.12.11)
More like Abdul than Alan.What does your "Evangelicism",have to do with anything?Just your claiming that puts the lie to whom you claim to be. I'm a Catholic and I support Israel."Salvation comes from the Jews."Read Holy Scripture Abdul...sorry..."Alan".
95. To #56
A. C. ,   Seattle, USA   (09.12.11)
During the Cold War, the US did things like underground nuclear testing in the Aleutian Islands, which are closer to the USSR than Nevada is, and the Soviets could more easily monitor the tests. The US wanted its enemies to positively know that it could actually do what it said it could, that its weapons could be relied on - by both sides - to perform as designed. For deterrence to be effective, your enemy must actually know that you can destroy him. If everything they know is supposition, speculation and hints, they may decide to disregard the speculation. So enough information must be released to ensure your enemy positively knows they can be destroyed, but not enough that they can feel confident that they can neutralize the deterrent. You can't keep an effective deterrent a total secret.
96. #92 Martin
Marcel ,   Florida   (09.12.11)
The Muslim world will soon find that out the hard way, the survivors that is. It will take seven months for Israel to bury the dead ones. Ezekiel 39
97. Remember USS Liberty.
USN ,   USA   (09.12.11)
When will Israel courtmartial those responsible for murdering our sailors aboard USS Liberty? When will Israel stop conducting espionage against the US? I'm talking about Pollard and the many other cases.
98. #83 ALL ARE PART OF THE IDF
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (09.13.11)
Just as Army, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, National Guard are a part of the American Military They are IDF trained in a particular expertise
99. Peter #21 try again
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (09.14.11)
If Turkey attacks us there will be no help from NATO regardless of how we react. NATO is a defense force and if a member attacks a non-member state then NATO will not do anything. Do you imagine for an instant that Greece, Romania or Bulgaria would side with Turkey if they attack somebody? Don't think so.
100. USN #97 Remember HMAS Hobart
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (09.14.11)
When will the US courtmartial those responsible for murdering Australian sailors aboard HMAS Hobart? Or for their attacks on the USS Boston, USS Edson, USS PCF 12, USCGC Point Dume or the sinking of USS PCF 19 by the US Air Force, killing and wounding a number of American sailors? When will US stop conducting espionage against the Israel? I'm talking about Leibowitz and the many other cases.
101. USA takes what it wants and uses its "friends"
naftules ,   jerusalem   (09.14.11)
USA manipulates everyone else and have for decades .... they exploit who they want when they want.... Israel got what it got from the US because it suited USA to offset the Russians and now to offset the arabs... but the USA MAKES SURE ISRAEL IS NEVER too much stronger than its enemies..why do you think egypt recieves so much USA AID.
102. Kol Hakovod. Thanks for keeping the Jewish State safe
George ,   NYC USA   (09.14.11)
103. WOW - neato!
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (09.15.11)
104. #21 NATO member attacking an Non-NATO memebr
Bob ,   Montreal Canada   (09.15.11)
If Turkey will attack or provoke a non-nato member then I am quite sure that NATO is not obliged to go along for the ride on Turkeys side. This will only work if Turkey would be attacked. In the Marmara incident I think the Turks would be out of luck if they responded militarily. ;
105. # 99 GEE, You took the words out of my mouth.
Bob ,   Montreal Canada   (09.15.11)
I wrote what i wrote BEFORE seeing your excellent explanation. Have a great day,, Toda
106. Dooms day weapon: Israel sub fleet
Errol Brereton ,   Brazil   (09.16.11)
Why did you end your article with an oxymoron? The cat is now out of the bag,we now know where the Americans have their `huge and secret base`
107. Super Dolphins
chuckmeister ,   Honolulu HAWAII USA   (08.19.12)
Your wish #30 may have come true as Super Dolphin's #7, #8 and #9 have been added along with two or possible 3 command and control Meko stealthy CSL Class spread out among Ashdod, Eilat and Haifa bases. Seems this got accidently published when a sixth Dolphin was ordered for an agreed price of 1.2 BILLION. One aspect overlooked is where in the world would the poorest arm of the IDF come up with so much money for all these projects? Simple, this represents the also agreed war reperations still owing from the old EAST Germany from WWII. aha...
