1. If Israel takes the lead, the US will join in !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (01.31.12)
In November, any candidate who wavers on Iran, will be thrown under the bus...That's just the way it is !
2. You must do the complete job
Russ Cogswell ,   Glendale USA   (01.31.12)
The Nuclear targets, all military , all Government . All communications . COMPLETE JOB .
3. eliminate the iran head
mohson   (01.31.12)
bibi and barak will not atttack iran and their talk is in n place of action. barak won't do it because he was against osiraq, agains syrian hit and does not have th enerve to take such action. Since his PM ship all he does is offer concessions and run to the US. Bibi can't take the pressure. He would make a decent spokesman but does not have the inner steel of suffering and training to make such a decision. Begin could make it, yaalon could make it, feiglin and landau could make it, bibi cannot. His group of 8 would have to carry him kicking and screaming for such a decision. What israel shhould do today is vote for feiglin. He knows what to do. Bibi does not and is being led by hussein obama.
4. Hussein Obama protects his buddies in Teheran by useless
ab   (01.31.12)
"sanctions" which he knows impede Israel's strike.
5. THE IRANIAN TERRITORY, THE IRANIAN PEOPLE AND SO ON...
A WONDER-S. R. ,   MULTIVERSE   (01.31.12)
LEAVE IRAN ALONE AND IN PEACE, UNTIL IRAN FIRST ATTACKS ANOTHER COUNTRY/PEOPLE. IF IRAN IS BEING ATTACKED BY AGRESSION, IT HAS A/THE RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSSELF/TO STRIKE BACK, WITH EVERY EXPEDIENT. THAT GOES FOR EVERY COUNTRY/PEOPLE A.S.O...
6. Iran
cheryl_crandall ,   Chicago, IL   (01.31.12)
You will get about as much warning as Hiroshima.
7. Still barking
sipahi ,   Istanbul   (01.31.12)
Years passing by and Israel is still barking. Iran is losing Syria, however getting control of Iraq. Shia is in power in Iraq. They are slowly building their web. Iran - Iraq - Syria - Hezbollah. Syria may be lost, but Iraq is much more important than Syria for them, demographically, geographically, strategically... As someone thinking the great struggle in the future will between Israel and Turkey, an Israeli/US strike that could lead to huge damage on both Israel and Iran would suit me fine. However, I would not like to see any single civilian non-warmonger, non-fanatic from both sides suffer in such a conflict.
8. 'Narrowing window' better known as 'frozen in fear'...
(01.31.12)
9. It is the clowns to the north and missile in the east
Matt   (01.31.12)
They cannot be allowed to restart the program or build missiles that can hit Israel. The truth is there is no time line to an end to strikes. It will be many months. A burden has been lifted by the US trying to prevent an attack and that is the US and the Arabs are responsible for the oil. Before Israel was, it was a much larger operation, now it is air superiority, the nuke sites and missiles and then missile production and restart. They will be left with what they always do use terror, but 7 million or a few thousand from terror attacks.
10. Israel Reject Obama: Iran must be resolved before 2nd term.
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (01.31.12)
The words of this admin are gibberish, akin to his YES WE CAN bytes. Israel cannot put her life on the line with this Pres who bowed before Regimes calling Israel a result of the holocaust.
11. If the U.S. had any intention of getting serious with Iran,
allan ,   canada   (01.31.12)
they wouldn't have waited another 4 years to start putting sanctions on Iran.Especially when sanctions, if they were to work would take years to have effect, while Iran is only months away from getting a nuclear weapon.
12. The nuclear facilities in Iran are West of Tehran if you
Rivkah   (01.31.12)
divide the country in half from Tehran westward. That is Elam in Scriptures which say Elam will be so destroyed it will be uninhabitable and the people will migrate to other nations. That has to be nuclear. That is coming, but when? If Iran surrenders its nuclear weapons program and its gold and bonds to NATO, perhaps the destruction of Iran can be averted, since that appears to be what was wanted in Libya and Iraq and Egypt from the revolutionaries aided by NATO.
13. photo of "Iranian nuclear facility"

14. American interest
fred ,   san jose USA   (01.31.12)
The campaign to lure the US into attacking Iran has one big problem to overcome before the War Party can taste success: the rather obvious fact that such a war would benefit Israel, and not the United States. This is why Israel’s partisans in the US constitute the spearhead of the pro-war agitation, why AIPAC has made this a consistent theme for the past few years, and why the billionaire Sheldon Adelson, aside from funding the Newtster, has poured untold millions into the same project. Hardly a day goes by without some Israeli government official reiterating, once again, that Iran represents an “existential threat” to the Jewish state, and threatening to strike the first blow if Uncle Sam fails to wake up in time, while Israel’s amen corner dutifully echoes the same line
15. Do what is necessary
Brod ,   USA   (01.31.12)
Israel should not be constrained by external forces in defending itself against existential threat from Ayatollahist fanatics. Fanatics tinkering on the tools of Armageddon must never be tolerated. They are deadly and dangerous for Israel, the region, and the world.
16. Obama will strike if he has too
Sheik Rattle & Roll ,   USA   (01.31.12)
however Iran is not just the problem of the US. Iran is more of an Israeli or European problem. There is one factor that prevents the US from striking Iran and that is the US and global economy that will not be able to absorb a never ending conflict that will turn into a regional war that could escalate to attacks and counterattacks on Persian Gulf economic targets. Imagine the price of oil if Saudi, Kuwaiti, Iranian, Omani oil installations are hit.
17. Israeli officials establish what is already known:
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (01.31.12)
The longer Israel waits the harder it will be to strike Iran and destroy its nuclear capability. So why wait? Delaying Iran's nuclear capability is not enough. Iran's nuclear capability must be destroyed - completely. And that includes destroying the facilities, wasting Iranian nuclear scientists, striking Iranian institutes of physics, engineering and so on - to cause a brain drain in Iran, and to destroy Iran's radar installations, power plants, bombing oild fields etc. Another solution is to nuke every square inch of Iran - something I'd prefer, for that would immobilize and defeat Iran - permanently. The question is whether Israel and the USA will do it and somehow I doubt it.
18. Only the big dog can swing this
Cameron ,   USA   (01.31.12)
Shapir laid it straight on the table. No one else but the US can deliver the day and night hitting power to multiple sites.
19.  All that US firepower sounding good, eh Rettenmoser?
Cameron ,   USA   (01.31.12)
20. Zzzzz (snore) zzzzz
Nour ,   One State   (01.31.12)
21. #5 you really live in another dimension (or "demention"?)
(01.31.12)
22. #7 don't hold your breath. Erdogan will crumble first
(01.31.12)
23. To: No. 14
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.31.12)
The only thing that is holding Israel back is the certitude that any retaliation by Iran will not be against Israel, but rather against a United States asset. While any number of Arab and Moslem states don't seem to mind Americans dying on their behalf, Israel has no desire to draw the United States into another war. Me, personally? I think that is a ridiculous reason to forestall defending against an existential threat. Do keep in mind, too, please, that Iran considers the United States to be the "great Satan" and has said so on any number of occasions. It is in everyone's best interests that the vile Islamofascists that control Iran be stopped. The fact that civilization will be saved is just one of the side benefits; a worthy cause, don't you think? Yes, billionaire Sheldon Adelson has poured tens of millions of dollars into Gingrich's campaign. I note you don't seem to have a problem with billionaire George Soros pouring millions into Obama's campaign. That makes you come across as just a tadbit hypocritical, you know?
24. The Iranian Territory
Dan ,   U.S.A.   (01.31.12)
You must have been drinking Prune Juice because all i see & hear is diahrrea of the mouth. Oh sure, let them live in peace even though they threaten Israel daily, support terrorists & lying about it's peaceful energy from nuclear material. What the heck is wrong with you people ? Can you imagine if the U.S. & Israel made comments about wiping Iran off the earth like Ahmanutjob does daily. You people would cry bloody murder. You Iran supporters make my stomach sick. All the threats they make & you think they should have nuke ? you are a complete moron.
25. @17
Miguel ,   San Diego, USA   (01.31.12)
Nuke all of Iran? For...having scientists and radar? That's called genocide, boo. You're proposing using the world's most dangerous weapons against a country that has NEVER attacked yours. You haven't even proven they have a nuke, so, what's your beef? Their stooge president talked some shit and now you want to wipe out their whole nation? Holy crap, man, may HaShem get you a clue cause you sure aint got one right now.
26. The Civil Doctrine of -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (01.31.12)
- Military strike as a last resort - is showing its efficiency !. I Quote - Is time running out? After calling for tougher sanctions against Iran at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Friday: "We must not waste time on this matter; the Iranians continue to advance (toward nuclear weapons), identifying every crack and squeezing through. Time is urgently running out." Comment - This is the result of the usefull idiots smartness, they thing they understand the world and have something to contribute. God bevere for those Idiots !. http://www.radicalislam.org/content/iran%E2%80%99s-end-times-documentary Israel must take the lead !. Arn.sweden.
27. #1 Why should Obama help.......
Robert ,   Australia   (01.31.12)
you after your abuse referring to him as an "asshole", a "moron" and goodness knows what else. I suggest you learn a little civility before demanding help from anyone. You must endure a very lonely existence as I don't imagine you have any civilised acquaintances. Sabre rattling individuals and like-minded intellectual midgets on ynet talkback are more than likely to comprise your entire social contact.
28. Nr 23.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (01.31.12)
The first two parts of your talkback I fully agree to, however, The US only intrests is Economical, and they are prepered to defend them and, they have a military build up for that so, when Assad falls I think Israel must act. Arn.Sweden.
29. To: No. 27
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.31.12)
Civility? How much civility did the English criminals who populated Australia show towards the aboriginal population? Hmm? Not terribly civilized, now, are you? We know how many native Australians were massacred, and we know by whom. The criminals from England who populated Australia are among the worst mass murderers in history. You really need to shut up. Australians are among the LAST people on earth to lecture Israel about civilized behavior. You have yet to exhibit some.
30. To: Arn at No. 28
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.31.12)
Oh, I don't think that Israel is going to wait that long.
