What matters most is the wisdom of what I say, not any particular location I happen to be saying it from.

covert or not, any war is justifyed on the iranian regime and it's enabalers, NOT ON THE IRANIAN PEOPLE.

Some people ARE easily led. And you are a consummate example, being so easily a victim of Iranian propaganda. I don't care if you call these targeted killings in response to Irans threats of annihilation, terrorism. They are, however, not objectionable, as you see by the lack of outcry of the rest of the world. If Israel would claim responsibility, there would be an outcry; not because of the act or the victim, but because it was Israel.

The Pandora's box has been open from the beginning: Iran is the one who opened it. From Iranian assistance to the Taliban and Al Qaeda with IED’s and weaponry, weaponry to Hamas and Hezbolla, assistance in the killing of US Marines and French soldiers in Lebanon, the bombing of US embassies, the bombing of the Israeli embassy and cultural center, etc. Jews are already a legit target (the same as you feel they are for your verbal attacks). The Iranians and those who assist them now enjoy that dubious distinction as well.

Selective? If this is a class room you need to study harder. Look at the definition of Can't and Won't in the dictionary and you will learn something. They are not the same thing no matter what movies you watch or what your teachers may have told you.

"Former Israeli defense official tells NYT ambiguous policies are best when it comes to efforts to prevent all-out war with Iran." This is Newspeak for "we'll get our war, hook or crook. Who cares if the American idiots have to fight it?"

Civilians, but actively responsible for Iran striving to manufacture nuclear weapons in order to annihilate Israel. Unlike the civilians killed in the US embassies, Israeli embassy and cultural center, to say nothing of [I'm sure you won't] those killed by Hamas and Hezbollah rockets [one even was aimed at and hit a yellow(!) school bus!]

Still, a civilians working legally in their borders doing what the Israelis did and still doing for decades with an impunity because they managed to highjack US Congress !!! ,... By the way (still waiting for answer) who, when and where promised to annihilate Israelis ??? ,...

1. Israelis have never hijacked Congress. As you ask us for proof, show your proof for this statement. You obviously know little about Congress and give a country the size of New Jersey power you wish it had so your statements would be true. They are not. 2. Follow #47’s advice: Read post #25. Study it thoroughly. 3. You are NOT waiting for an answer as you have been answered before: we have shown you where Ahmadinejad stated he will destroy Israel, what Israel has contributed to the world, and what Jews have contributed to the world. Each time there is no answer from you. You then wait what you hope will be a sufficient amount of time for us to forget you have been told. 4. So read even more: In a public address on IRINN TV on June 2, 2008, Ahmadinejad stated: “The Zionist regime has lost its raison d'être. Today, the Palestinians identify with your name Khomeini, your memory, and in your path. They are walking in your illuminated path and the Zionist regime has reached a total dead end. Thanks to God, your wish will soon be realized, and this germ of corruption will be wiped off.” Google this if you are not too lazy. Or if you want more you can find it yourself; there is plenty.

'who, when and where promised to annihilate Israelis' ??? ,... First; he was quoting Ayatollah Khomeini. Second; he said a "Zionist regime" the system not Israelis, the people,...
53. Prudent? More like necessary!
Daniel ,   Tracy USA   (01.14.12)
The UN and IAEA have requested for Iran to stop enrichment activities and they are going against the NPA which they signed. So we have sanctions, and more sanctions, and Iran is belligerent and saber rattling. The enrichment needed for their only power plant is 5%, they are continuing activities to enrich to 20% and beyond. Why? So short of military action, you know planes in the air tanks on the ground, you do other things. Loss of life is minimal and hopefully it will slow or even stop their efforts. If they continue down this path things will escalate. To what level I don't know, but I hope they get a clue soon.
54. #52 split LOL
solomon ,   bklyn   (01.14.12)
Hahahahaha! You not only avoid answering questions that are put to you, you avoid clear answers to your ersatz "questions". Since when is the "Zionist regime" not a metaphor for Israel, especially by Ahmadinajad and all Israel haters? Read the statement again; he is NOT quoting Khomeini; he refers to Khomeini's wish and says it will be fulfilled. He says the same thing as Khomeini but in his own words and wishes. One more time...show proof that Israelis have hijacked Congress. Answer our questions instead of avoiding them, especially since we answered all your "comments". You can have your own opinion.  You can't have your own facts.  You ignore real facts while making up your own as you go along.  Won't work.  Sorry.
