1. Gantz is clueless as well as useless.
Al   (04.27.12)
He has shown to be a very poor COS and he and his bosses Netanyahu and Barak must be shown the door. Isreal is weak and getting weaker. Netanyahu can talk a storm, his past was being a salesman, however as a PM he is a two time loser. Its time to clear the house. These three stooges must be shown the door. Israels survival depends on it. They continually cowtow to the anti-semites, the result being that Jews in Israel are under constant fear of being bombed from Gaza Lebanon or being beaten up by local arabs.
2. And if the Iranians aren't rational the US should probably..

3. Of cause they are rational -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (04.27.12)
US Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said Thursday that he hopes that statements from Israel's military chief describing Iran's leadership as rational were "correct." IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz said Wednesday that the Iranian leadership "is composed of very rational people," and that while Tehran was reaching the point at which it could decide to build a nuclear bomb, the leaders had not yet decided whether to proceed. - in a Cunning Religious Fanatical way !. Arn.Sweden.
4. No Iranian rationality = EMP Pearl Harbor.
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (04.27.12)
5. wrong
أبابيل   (04.27.12)
israelis do not even know when war breaks out, very tiny airplanes to be all over .. to be seen only in the sky above, thousands of them, how?what to carry? which side to come from? wait .. we name them أبابيل
6. Well, one genius "hopes", the other "thinks":We're screwed!
tom ,   tel aviv   (04.27.12)
7. Gantz is either naive, stupid or both
Scott ,   Beer Sheva, Israel   (04.27.12)
I hope he's just saying this to lower Iran's guard for a future attack, because every piece of evidence, including what the PM have said indicates Iran is working on a nuclear bomb. If they weren't, then why would they endure the sanctions & not give UN inspectors free access?
8. grave concerns
mohson   (04.27.12)
barak chose gantz cause he couldn't get gallant. I have grave concerns about his views on iran and now panetta says it is wishful thinking. Iran is going for a nuclear weapon and any half wit would understand it. Yaalon must replace barak and make some order here because gantz will have difficulty in managing the battlefield.
9. Fire Gantz NOW! He plays into hands of Israel's enemies.
Chaim ,   Israel   (04.27.12)
Gantz should be fired immediately. He is doing enormous harm to Israel. The idea that Iran won't make nuclear bombs, after investing billions of dollars to do so, is plain stupid. Moreover, Gantz plays right into the hands of the hostile Obama administration, as Pannetta clearly illustrates. Gantz is a scary incompetent and that is saying the least.
10. How rational is a regime that believes in
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (04.28.12)
the returning of the 12th imam,who will establish islam as the world religion after humanity will be destroyed in a nuclear incineration.
