61. You have Obama and Hillary pegged..
sonofissachar ,   Glendale, AZ   (11.01.11)
AMEN AND AMEN
62. Israeli attack on Iran
MarineOne ,   Chicago,Il   (11.01.11)
Not a good idea...The people of America will not support an Israeli attack against Iran. The moment Israel launches an attack against Iran all bets are off. Israel will be forced to use a Nuke and that will seal the State of Israels fate. Russia and China will side with Iran and will end up Nuking Israel in kind. The USA will not extend the fight and start WWIII In support of Israel... Israels attack against Iran will be their undoing!
63. Iran
Terry ,   Springdale, USA   (11.01.11)
The Solution: The worlds largest Glass Factory.
64. The Obamanation
Buck O'Fama ,   Omaha, USA   (11.01.11)
Israel wisely chose NOT to coordinate with an uncoordinated White House whose pro muslim/ anti Israel tilt has caused the entire problem in the first place. Remember Israel, never trust a liberal, they would sell you out in a flash.
65. #7 Salma
David ,   New York, USA   (11.01.11)
Salma, Palestinians are the cowards. Not Israel. If you can't get a long with your country Israel and support it, then go back to your homeland in Jordan. Israel doesn't need people like you.
66. Israel Attack on Iran
John Greene ,   Jackson NJ USA   (11.01.11)
I just want to show my support for any attack by Israel on Iran. Israel must do whatever is in the best interests of the safety of the People of Israel. A majority of the American People will support Israel. You can not depend on anyone but yourselves and the good will of a majority of the American People. Our present Commander in Chief is an incompetent and NOT a friend of Israel. God's blessings on Israel.
67. Won't be unilateral- USMC on the way
Noah ,   Usa   (11.01.11)
It won't be a unilateral attack. My friend in the USMC told me he is leaving for Iran in 10 days.
68. israel needs no help
unabum ,   thermopolis, wy usa   (11.01.11)
to all the morons who think we are protecting israel - israel has over 100 nuclear weapons. they need protection from NO COUNTRY. if anything we are protecting the arabs from them!
69. America supports Israel
Gary ,   Los Angeles USA   (11.01.11)
Most evangelical Christians support Israel. Yes anti Semitism is on the rise (see #18) but organizations like CUFI represent the voices of millions of American's who support the right of Israel to exsist. We also believe in the right of self defense, which includes a pre-emptive strike especially when the country (Iran) says they want to distroy Israel. How much clearer can you get.
70. May God bless and protect the nation of Israel
Mike ,   Collingswood, NJ USA   (11.01.11)
71. Don't want a unilateral strike?
Joe ,   Houston US   (11.01.11)
Then let us send some planes in as well and make it a bilateral strike. Israel has no choice but to strike because the US under Bush AND Obama have failed to do anything about this threat.
72. Start drilling now Obama
Bob Forsberg ,   southern California   (11.01.11)
Once Israel takes defensive action against Iran, getting oil from the Middle East will be like getting Obama to stop lying. USA needs to start drilling now. Why else would Iraq want all the US bases closed down. They know Israel is about to protect itself and without US help from next door it will have a harder time. Good luck guys, Pray for a different President in 2012 who has a set of balls.
73. Bibi cannot even stop rockets from Gaza !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
American   (11.01.11)
so you think he can stop Iran? It's laughable!
74.  ********** Jordan is the real Palestine *********
Historian   (11.01.11)
75. Iran isn't Russia
Notblind ,   columbus,USA   (11.01.11)
Russia was sane compared to Iran. Don't people understand that Ahmadinejad believes it is his destiny to annihilate America and Israel? He has said so many times, he will use nuclear warheads if he gets them. Why don't people belive that?
76. Israel the mouse that roars
Tom Tabil ,   Olympia, WA   (11.01.11)
You aren't going to bomb Iran, you just want to gain concessions. You're powerless and in the middle of a pack of jackals. Cozying up to Obama is like sleeping in the jackals den.
77. Why SHOULD Israel have permission?
Eddie ,   Seattle, US   (11.01.11)
Honestly, I am sick of people needing "permission" from the US. We obviously don't care about Assad and Syria, we don't REALLY care about Lybia, or any of these other places. 3 US Wars in the ME have been about nothing but money, I fought in them. I saw what was going on. srael SHOULD blow Iran into the stone age! Why not! They'd only be doing everyone else a favor!
78. To #34, Mark of Clewiston
Ya'akov ,   Be'er Sheva   (11.01.11)
You prove that American stupidity is completely insurmountable. You should drop your blinders and learn that since its tragic inception in human history your country has proven to be the rabid hyena of modern history. Go, ask the Indians, the blacks, the Chinese, the Latin-Americans, or the more recent 1.4 million civilians whom you just exterminated in Iraq, not to mention the truly innumerable amount of civilians from Afghanistan and elsewhere. And you, with a superlative self-righteousness, you think that every one in the world (including those whom you flippantly murdered, and their descendants) owe you gratefulness, and not only that even the abject surrender of their will, just because your imperialistic wars are always waged in the name of your fake "democracy" and an elitist "progress." Hypocrites! Barbaric genocidal criminals! You got a couple of nukes and did not wait one second to incinerate two civilian cities in Japan, and now you say: "Look, they now eat hamburgers thanks to us!" Shame on you, miserable nation! Oh, I know America very well; I lived 30 years there and volunteered (no wages whatsoever) countless hours to help those in desperate need. So, I know the empty pride that sickens you, the enormous cruelty with which you are drenched, the appalling immorality that you so love (immorality of the government and of the masses alike), your innate cowardice which only seems to be "brave" when hidden behind a bigger gun. Most (if not all) of your soldiers killed in foreign lands were mere mercenaries for the global imposition of your rotten "American Way." Your troops in the Gulf are cowardly and therefore cruel security guards for the soulless oil transnationals. And you expect that Israel should die as a nation so that your immoral mercenaries can safely continue patrolling the entire world for the sake of your riches! Is that so? Well, rest assured that you will never see Israeli soldiers out of Israeli territory for the sake of money and oil, like your corsairs daily do. Mark, stop kidding yourself, and bothering us. Btw, remember (or learn true history) that without Jewish money and ingenuity your country would have been nothing -- a big immoral nothing, because those who could do nothing for themselves in Europe could not do anything either in the New World. But of course, in the schools where you were brainwashed they didn't teach you that, right cowboy? They only teach that you live in the “land of opportunity” (to rob others of theirs), ah, the land of the free (to elect the same old corrupted people over and over again) and ... oh yes, the home of the “brave” (like those countless “braves” who constantly wait for others to go and take back their lost freedoms for them). Believe me, I could continue but this is enough.
79. This is largely our Messiah's fault
ClearyJ ,   Chatsworth USA   (11.01.11)
Unfortunately for Israel, America chucked its brain out the door in 2008 and we voted in a maninfant who is appropriately nicknamed The Messiah. The Messiah decided in his infinite (lack of) wisdom that it would be a good idea for America to roll onto its back, paws up, and beg the world to like us. Those in the world who were Alpha leaders took this, rightly so, as a display of unbelievable weakness and their good fortune. Including tin-plated, 2-bit, yellow-striped weasels like the heads of Iran and Venezuela (not to mention China). And now The Messiah is wondering what went wrong. What an idiot he is. If we could elect a 10 year old who had a few days running a lemonade stand, without some idiot liberal shutting it down for lack of a permit, America would be stronger than she is now. Unfortunately, we have the worst we've ever seen in the White House, and Israel has no choice to go Alpha on its own for awhile. Since The Messiah is big on apologizing for America, I guess I can follow his lead and say, "Sorry about what you're going through right now. Hopefully we'll become sane in 2012."
80. Second-strike capability
Mallie ,   Albuquerque USA   (11.01.11)
I've always heard that Israel has second-strike capability. Is it true?
81. Israel is no friend of US
Ari ,   Los Angeles USA   (11.01.11)
Israel taking unilateral action after the $100billion of US taxpayer money that they have accepted shows that they are not friends of the American goys and free thinking Jews.
82. It's about time...
David ,   Littleton, CO   (11.01.11)
It's about time Israel took the big step. I don't know how much longer they can wait, I dont know how much they can trust Obama. I do know that if we had a better President in office the U.S. would supply all assets necessary to control the air space over that part of the Mid-East. Hopefully Obama will at least supply air re-fueling. re-supply, intelligence and weather info, communications, escorts etc. etc. but I am not holding my breath. I stand with Israel.
83. Israel will do what has do be done in the right time...
Ben Zion   (11.01.11)
All of Israels enemies throughout history have been defeated an so will be Iran and its satellites. The one and only living God will destroy them - with or without the help of Zahal ! Just wait and see and say '' Praise the God of Israel who delivered us from Iran and its satellites as HE delivered us from all our former enemies !'' The God of Israel is almighty and wonderful !
84. Unilateral?
Ezhik ,   Chicago, USA   (11.01.11)
So just who should Israel consult? The USA? The rest of the country who just threw them under the bus? I hope they blow the hell out of Iran, Palestine and anyone else threatening their well being. To live under daily attack from terrorists is beyond anyone's expectations. Screw anyone that stands in their way.
85. Isarel attacking Iran
Tex Expatriate ,   Monrovia, IN   (11.01.11)
If it was up to me, if I was israel's PM, I'd have wiped out the Iranians nuke plants and destroyed their military five years ago.
86. strike
G. Lupo ,   st. pauls,nc-usa   (11.01.11)
If Israel doesn`t go ahead & strike Iran, then Iran & russia will strike them, it`s bible prophecy being fulfilled ezekiels war.
87. RE:"Israel is too cowardly to attack Iran alone"
Jane ,   USA   (11.01.11)
Salma...you are one of those idiots that still think there is such a thing as a "palestinian"...why don't you idiots move away from Israel! You are nothing but a bunch of occupiers and murderers! The GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob will take care of your muhammed/allah! Count on it!!!!
88. Re: Scared
Jane ,   USA   (11.01.11)
You've got that right!! When 2012 gets here we can get rid of all the cowardly marxist in the WH...
89. #28
Sherry ,   USA   (11.01.11)
Obama is not timid...he is a MUSLIM...that says it all. 2012!!!!
90. #81 Ari - LA
BENJABO ,   ISRAEL   (11.01.11)
The USA isn't under immediate threat from Iran, Israel is In the event of any future war, it would take the USA much too long to come to assist Time is of the essence, Iran has promised many a time that she intended to destroy Israel, she has her black heart set on doing it
