1. Israel will probably have to kick-start the process for them
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (12.28.11)
2. If Israel wants to self destruct it should..
Chris.B ,   Australia   (12.28.11)
proceed with the long awaited(yawn) attack on Iran. The U.S has no interest in another war for Israel. They are spent.What is the point of Israel getting billions of dollars of military aid and then expecting America to fight its wars for it? The Israeli government and neo zionists have pushed for a war against Iran for many years now. The warmongers should Put up and deal with the consequences or stand down. Blackmailing the international communty is a real threat not Iran.
3. awful, just awful
mike cohen ,   usa   (12.28.11)
Israel is a foreign country.. this is not the United States problem or fight... this is disgusting if the Americans have to go to war once again for parasites.
4. Do not insult their IQ
Nora Tel Aviv   (12.28.11)
Qom will become a tea house for the controllers. They will not be expelled. They will be let to supervise the low enrichment levels at Qom while the main enrichment to 90% level will take place elsewhere.
5. Israel should NOT attack Iran UNILATERALLY but as part of a
Alan ,   SA   (12.28.11)
Coalition.... Many reasons for not going it alone! They are ALL obvious....From logistical to Agrevating the EU and US Recession to uniting Muslims.And much more!! Iranian Atomics is a BIG problem for USA so they will have to do something about it sooner or later due to pressure by their M E Oil Clients Meantime Israel must use its deterent forces and assets to hold the Persians at bay
6. Just like USA is demanding the drone back,
meir elazar   (12.28.11)
I hope that USA demands all the cruise, bunker busters, and Tomahawk missiles back as well after they are lost in Iranian territory.
7. ALL red lines have already been crossed !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (12.28.11)
The time for ACTION is N O W !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8. dont think its ever gonna happen
bg ,   haifa   (12.28.11)
the usa is holding us down they wont let us atack and they will keep our hands tied until its too late. we are going to have to live with a nuclear iran
9. Another war for Israel
Joe M. ,   NY, NY   (12.28.11)
US should not be dragged into another war for Israel. Let them do their own paranoid dirty work! Any strike on Iran will be devastating for the whole world.
10. I wouldn't understimate Iran at all.
Martin ,   Jerusalem   (12.28.11)
The US has tailspun Iraq, Iran is flexing it's muscle against it's neighbours such as SA. And helping influence Iraq... Iran is also dominating the strait of hormuz. - And if or when Iran gets funny with it's oil output... And cause an issue with the strait of hormuz, this could also suffocate an already hostile economic defiecency that is already dragging the western economies further into unstability, which would lead to a flexing of muscle from NATO/western countries.
11. Israel should just sit tight
Hmm. ,   Chicago   (12.28.11)
With Iran making deluded statements about how easy it would be to close the Strait of Hormuz and the US Navy confirming that it will keep shipping lanes open, Iran could be set for a fall on the other side of the wall.
12. A lot of pre-election time smoke
Joe ,   Canada   (12.28.11)
The Obama administration is trying to keep all sectors of the electorate as happy as possible: the isolationists followers of Ron Paul as well as the interventionists in the Gingrich & Romney camps. It has the daunting task to get reelected while US unemployment exceeds 9%, a feat that has not been achieved by any past incumbent president in similar economic situations. So we can expect a continuous flow of contradictory statements. But if the Obama administration remains in place its will to prevent Iran getting nuclear is not likely to be any stronger than it has been when it disregarded various past "red lines". The result would likely be an Israeli preemptive strike which will bring about all the economic & military consequence the US & European politicians are fearing so much in the short term while hoping that kicking the can down the road will not make them face in the longer term a much greater danger.
13. Sooner or Later . . .
Ron G. ,   NY, USA   (12.28.11)
Iran will have to be dealt with for the sake of the whole world. They are not building missles to reach Europe and the US to send flowers. The Mullahs are crazy and if allowed to acquire nukes they will hold the whole world hostage on issue after issue. If Iran has nukes and they are the leading supporter of global terrorism, how long before they give one to one of their terror group to ship into NY harbor. Come on, this is not for Israel, this is for everyone.
14. Look behind you, Panetta! China's President told China'sNavy
Rivkah   (12.28.11)
to get ready to go to battle! If America and/or Israel strike Iran, China will attack Taiwan and America. World War III will see a third of the world's population die or 2.2 billion people. That is equal to the entire Muslim world, China and America. Better to seek HaShem's protection to control Iran and China and Russia by calling for a holy convocation of leaders of Israel and America to fast and pray and advise the nation to do likewise and for the people of America and Israel to stop sinning so that HaShem will heal the land and protect it.
15. IRAN STRIKE
Saphire ,   USA   (12.28.11)
It will be devastating.
16. #9
Jane   (12.28.11)
We fight our own wars, Ron Paul lover. We're not paranoid, but we refuse to be blind like you. We are part of the "whole world", not to mention the canary in the tunnel and America's forward position in the region. Count your blessings that we're on America's side.

Yoseph ,   USA/Israel   (12.28.11)
Rivkah, Please quote your source or provide a link to verify the words of China. Thank you

Israeli 2   (12.28.11)
What is YOUR problem? Warmongers? Neo-nazis? Is that what you are? A warmonger and a neo-nazi? This is serious business we DO NOT like for it to happen because millions of people may indeed get affected by this. That's why we desparately try to find other ways to neutralize the EVIL that exist out there against Israel. All that other garbage you wrote is coming from an anti-Israeli mind. I suggest you cleanse it.
19. Hapy New Year-Happy New Wars
peter vojta ,   prague   (12.28.11)
Truth and only "axis of evil" on this planet wraped in colonial, brutal and atheistic ideology...neverending story of horror of wars. From end of WW2 US is in pernament conflict somewhere, stealing wealth of nations,displasing and killing millions...and regime of young Israel- that is "succes" never seen in human history. Undeclared arsenal of WMD, ME in pernament preparednes for wars, greatest teft of land in mankind history, ongoing etnic cleansing etc, ...War profiters togheter with fanatical religious individuals dictate fate of the World. Happy Ney Year /New Wars/ with to same old actors....Peter czech
20. Wake up
peter vojta ,   prague   (12.28.11)
Israel has U N D E C L A R E D arsenal of WMD already you ignorant, no inteligent agency , no IAEA, found in Iran any sign of WMD. Iran is a member of IAEA, Israel refuses to allow any inspection, did you know it? Iran did not attack anybody past 200 years, while your Israel attacked all its neighbours and still occupays foreigh land...Wake up and start reading facts. Did you know that over 25000 Jews lives in Iran in peace and equal rights? But no Zionist Jews live there, thats a fact. Those living in Iran practice one of the oldest, richest religion from human history - TRUTH judaism, not any "shortcut" of Judaism - I mean ZIONISM. peter czech
21. Iran aquiring nukes
yzwisey ,   usa   (12.28.11)
Here, here I agree. How do you kill a snake?....cut off it's head!
22. #16
Malcolm Blankenship ,   US   (12.29.11)
What would happen if the US decided israel were the enemy? Don't respond by saying it will won't happen. Just what if? I am itching to hear this response.
23. 17 Yoseph, USA/Israel: Jim Bakker, the Jim Bakker (tv) show
Rivkah   (12.29.11)
this morning on December 28, 2011 said China's President told the Chinese Navy to get ready for battle on Tuesday December 27, 2011. Whether they are about to attack Taiwan or America or both was not said, but it is likely both. If you have relatives on Taiwan, tell them to leave immediately.

Birdi ,   Israel   (12.28.11)
Kindly take your happy new year wishes & shove them where the sun dont shine. Thank you.

john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (12.29.11)
You really have a problem "Chris"-if that is your real name.You really don't understand the situation in the ME.Israel and the US both know what to do to eliminate the evil that is Iran from making the world suffer.
26. #18 Why did you bother to comment? He's a moron
Scott ,   QLD Australia   (12.29.11)
27. SECURITY
DAVID ASLESON ,   MINNEAPOLIS USA   (12.29.11)
THIS SHOULD NOT MAKE THE NEWS FOR SECURITY REASONS. For ISRAEL AND THE USA.
28. #2
Roy ,   USA   (12.29.11)
An inverted, distorted view of things by a peabrain crackpot with serious issues.
29. Red Lines Probably mean Conditions, too
Mark of Lewiston ,   Lewiston, USA   (12.29.11)
If the US has conditions that would ensure a US attack on Iran, the conditions likely do not include a go-it-alone-war. As the US learned with Iraq, an attack is just the start of a war. Ending a war takes time, manpower and tons of money and blood. There are no cakewalks. The US is currently downsizing its defense budget. Our credit card was about used up in Iraq and Congress is balking at spending more. The US military does not have the manpower to do it alone. hundreds of thousands from other countries would be required. Is Germany ready to commit 100,000 for a decade? Is Israel in for 50,000 or 100,000? How about Canada? And Australia? Can both of them be counted on each for 100,000 troops? This would just be to find the secret hidden sites where it is claimed that Iran is making bombs. The other sites are provably not places making bombs; they are monitored. Three to five trillion Euros would also be needed to finance the operation. Will Germany and the UK and Israel and France and Italy pony up? US taxpayers don't even want to pay for public schools in many places any more. And who is to deal with the Russians and Chinese and Indians who have their economies destroyed. And if it does go nuclear, who will placate the downwind countries? The US was sold the cakewalk story for Iraq. We were told it would be free and pay for itself. We were also told it would be over in days or weeks, three months at the outside. The freebie-cakewalk theorists have no credibility left.
30. NEVER trust our muslum obumma to help Israel, seriously.
