1. Don't irritate tintending o kill you,they'll kill you anyhow

says this Israeli Genius of Submission
2. Shut up, Dagan! Destroy Iran's nukes NOW!
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.30.12)
Dagan is no longer a decision maker. Thank heavens. He needs to be told to shut up. Dagan does Israel nothing but harm. Israel must do whatever is necessary to assure Iran's Mad Mullahs don't have functional nuclear bombs. Destroy Iran's nukes NOW!
3. Irritating a terrorist regime
Syd Chaden ,   Palermo Calif USA   (05.30.12)
So, if a terrorist pointed a gun at Dagan, and said "I am going to kill you" , Dagan would not act to prevent the terrorist from shooting him, because that might irritate the terrorist. And , irritating the terrorist might increase the likelihood of the terrorist doing what he said he was going to do, which was to kill Dagan? Dagan's muddled rationale makes one thing clear. Thank GOD Dagan isn't the PM of Israel!
4. MR.MEIR DAGAN..........................
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (05.30.12)
Do you know that we know through the courtesy of Sarah that the entire computer network and its operation is in the hands of the Israel.If Iran retaliates,the outbound missiles will be deflected back to Tehran through Sarah's computer.Why do you need to surmise all this about Iran getting an excuse of going for the atomic bomb?Sarah has solved all your problems,don't you see?

6. hey baldy shut up !
(05.30.12)
Dagan is on the payroll of the CIA. If Israel attacks Iran, Obama loses the elections soundly due to the massive gas price hikes & economic collapse. Dagan's really campaigning for Obama's re-election.
7. It is not to believe how pretentious this Dagan has become
(05.30.12)
His lack of discretion is not fit for a person who was part of the Intelligence department of Israel. ThIs is also a matter of Etics, you ended your Job but nevertheless what you saw or learn etc must be secret even if you dont work there anymore. He is a very imprudent man
8. Dagan is a hated man both in Israel and the arab World
farhad ,   shiraz iran   (05.30.12)
but he is telling the truth Iran Will wipe Israel but not by nuclear weapon rather they have different weapon non lethal but if israel attact Civilan nuclear projects in Iran may be some will use that as reason to produce such hated weaponary

Mr Mahmood. I am sure that Sarah's computer also has your GPS Coordinates.Please speak respectfully of our sister.
10. The Iranian program will never survive until the US election
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (05.30.12)
And if it's done right, it will be quite a bit more devastating than the Iranians are counting on. I'm rather surprised that Mr. Dagan has turned himself into such a clown.
11. absurd ''logic'' from the businessman Dagan
(05.30.12)
12. I need desperately for someone to explain Dagan to me!

15. Single strike won’t permanently end the problem.
Stephen in New York   (05.30.12)
Single strike won’t permanently end the problem. Future actions remain as yet unclear. Attacking the Mullahs & Co. might embolden the urban populace to resume their pressure against the regime. But doing nothing, as Dagan advises, is doing something, just something worthless and ineffectual.
16. barak and olmert
marcel   (05.30.12)
its only because of olmert that flopped with peretz that he brought barak back as dm. Israel is sick of barak with his record of failures, marmora being the latest and his olmert concessions which are obnoxious to the extreme. To this incompetent duo, they do not understand that arabs read concessions as weakness and are only encouraged by it. Barak should know better but he is disconnected from reality as lindestraus pointed out. Israel has no chance of attacking iran with barak and bibi, the 2 of them who are incapable of action. it will take yaalon and lieberman to push it through cause barak does not have the guts anymore to take such action. That is why he talks so much and offers concessions. jews find him despicable.
17. yes. that's a problem. but doing nothing assures a bomb.
rick ,   walnut creek   (05.30.12)
yes. dagan, a very foolish man, is correct when he points to the potential problems that can attend any attempt to take out the nuclear facilities. there are a huge number of problems and they have to be fully considered. at the same time, IT IS A CERTAINTY THAT IF NOTHING IS DONE, the iranians will develop nuclear weapons (or the capability to immediately fabricate such weapons). so, if dagan is serious and his purpose is to warn of the problems, then, he should choose his words more carefully. otherwise, people might just dismiss him as a foolish blow-hard, hungry for headlines and attention.
18. Sitting on his hands again?????
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (05.30.12)
Lets not do anything.....It's much easier that way. Hitler liked that thought process as well.
19. Dagan
michael Pielet ,   israel   (05.30.12)
Mr. Dagan please dig a deep in the ground, jump in and Iran will cover you up.
20. dagan is a realist
inconito   (05.30.12)
Mr dagan ok, and other non partisant, are aware of the limitations of the bombing, the Iranians can hide and multiply its facilities so widely that no one can find them. bombing is useless, who want the bombing should be clear that they want a nuclear armed Iran!
21. IF IT DOESN'T "END" THE PROBLEM, ANOTHER BOMBING IN 4 YEARS!
Jewishness ,   AMERICA THE BEAUTIUL   (05.30.12)
SO another 4 years and if the mullahs are still around another strike. and another and another, till they get the message...and NO they will not dare strike back knowing what happened to Saddam when he started shooting at US aircraft.
