Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (02.05.12)
65. #51 Afraid to lose your funding source
Cynthia ,   USA   (02.05.12)
Without the Islamic Regime, Hezbollah and Hamas will be out of work. Khamenei admits to funding these terror groups although Iran's poor economy has meant a pay cut. For your information, Iran began developing their nuclear program under the Shah when Israel had a good relationship with Iran. This doomed nuclear program was taken over by the regime after the revolution. They promoted it as a weapon to threaten destruction of other countries. Forghani speaks for this misuse of power.
66. iran
alex ,   jos nigeria   (02.05.12)
it is a pity that iran has chosen the path of self destruction.
67. NINE MINUTES YOU SAY ??
ROGER BANNISTER ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (02.05.12)
I can run 2 miles in nine minutes.
68. contradictions
chantalle.ezer ,   Frankfurt Germany   (02.05.12)
Iran ( non Arabs) finance Hamas and Hezbollah to liberate Palestine, wherever this geographic construct may be situated, and intend to wipe out Israel. A nuclear attack would wipe out Israel, Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon and Palestine. I am much more concerned about the call to kill Jews all over the world. Ezer
69. He forgot to say that in the 10th...
Ron ,   usa Seattle   (02.05.12)
70. Message to Iran
Jock Ewing ,   Dallas, USA   (02.06.12)
I fear all we have done is to awake a sleeping giant and commit him to a terrible resolve. Bye, bye Iran.
71. Tricky blog
Blaise ,   Indiana   (02.06.12)
No I don't think the blog comes from Iran. If an Iranian wrote such a thing he would justify a preventive attack, and I think that to legitimize a preventive attack is the main objective of airing this blog. Israel cannot be destroyed, but Iran could be. Or perhaps it has weapons we do not know about -- that's the problem.
72. For a computer engineer, his logic is all wrong
William ,   Israel   (02.06.12)
"Muslims must wage a Jihad against an enemy who attacks an Islamic nation" "Israel has attacked Palestine" However, Palestine was never a nation and though ruled by Ottoman Turks for 500 years, was not ruled through a base of Islam. So, to both points, the argument is therefore negated.
73. Question is... will Iran HAVE nine minutes?
(02.06.12)
74. #17 Plan A: wipe out Lebanon. Nobody forgot that, no worries
(02.06.12)
75. iran
marvin nubwaxer ,   napa, CA--usa   (02.06.12)
" . . .urged Tehran not to delay an attack on Israel, claiming that the Islamic Republic could destroy the Jewish state in "less than nine minutes" i'd call that chutzpah
76. Why is this news?
John R ,   NYC USA   (02.06.12)
If an ex-soldier from the US military blogged that the US Air Force should send missiles and blow up Iran in 10 minutes, do you think any US newspaper would bother to print it? The purpose of this article is to gin up the faithful to believe that attacking Iran is justified based on self defense grounds. This is not news it is propaganda plain and simple.
77. Half true
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (02.06.12)
If the Iranians launch a massive missile attack, coordinated with their allies in Syria and Hezbolla, and maybe their friends in Gaza, Israel will endure massive civilian casualties and economic damage, whether or not an Israeli "second strike" damages Iran. If Israel holds Judea and Samaria, it won't matter. The casualties will be moved to safety and the IDF will regroup. If Israel does not hold Judea and Samaria, all 7 million Jews will be slaughtered.
78. #31 why so happy? 9 minutes= no EU economy!
(02.06.12)
79. Iranian ran out of military exercises. Now they use bloggers
(02.06.12)
I wish them many more military exercises which dwindle their pathetic economy and expose their weaknesses to foreign observers. Since they seem to have run out of military threats, now they use "bloggers" to threat. Yeah- those threats are as effective as their failed missile program. It may be very impressive showing swarms of missiles shot into nowhere. The question is - can they actually hit any targets farther than Turkey or Saudi Arabia? I bet that most of those bravado shots have been reused many times for past "exercises" after having been doctored to make them look more impressive. It's time to call their bet and force them show the cards. It's a great opportunity to give the Iranian people a break and opportunity to hang Ahemdinejad and his crazy priests, and at the time stamp the Hezbolla dogs and Hamas rats.
80. Each time Muslims tried to wipe Israel...
(02.06.12)
they got wiped themselves. They never learn!
81. Last time I checked, Iran threatened Turkey, if attacked
(02.06.12)
They're trying to make friends everywhere!
82. 2014? Ahmedinejad won't hold on that long!
(02.06.12)
83. New elections in Iran by June 2012. Dig the hint!
(02.06.12)
84. With "strategists" like those, Teheran is doomed
(02.06.12)
85. I thought that Iranian geniuses developed the Cosmic Ray Gun
(02.06.12)
86. Teheran is afraid!
(02.06.12)
Their threats and military exercises don't impress anybody. Americans returned to the Arabian Gulf and Teheran did nothing, despite the threats. Now Americans are bringing in another aircraft carrier into the Arabian Gulf. Teheran threatens, and will do squat. They threaten Israel that it will wipe it in "9 minutes". That will not happen either, and they know it. So basically Israel and the US are free to act. The Teheran dictator dogs might bite back, but they'll get crushed quite quickly by the Israelis and Americans. Hezbollah and Hamas will do NOTHING! They too bark a lot, but when they'll see what happens to their masters in Teheran, they'll sit put and do NOTHING.
87. 'Religious Justifications"
Haim ,   TA   (02.06.12)
Thres that word again "religion" responsible for more deaths then any disease known to mankind.
88. #27 Israel is lucky that Muslims have genius strategists
(02.06.12)
like yourself! Hatred, arrogance, racism and dreams of genocide blind your thoughts. That's the Western freedom fighters biggest luck!
89. #25 true! It takes less than that to paralyze Iran
(02.06.12)
90. In a conflict, Israel won't attack civilians
(02.06.12)
It only needs to disrupt the Teheran dictatorship tyrannical police and guards. A massive attack on its military control centers and launch bases is enough to signal the popular uprising which will take care of the rest. Ahmedinejad and his supporters will be swamped by waves of enraged Iranians and this time his dogs will be kept busy by the Israeli attacks. Without the head, the snake will die quickly. We'll all watch on CNN a repeat of the lesson all Muslim dictators and terrorists must have learned by now: their statues will turn to dust and they themselves will hang at the hands of their own people!
