31. @30 - yes we will
Amos J   (08.14.12)
yes we will do it, as we have been doing always eg. Osirak, Syria. America can just remain on the sidelines and emit hot air as usual. Don't cry too much if the price of gas rises astronomically, you an always revert to the horse & donkey cart.

Jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (08.14.12)
strong and extremely stupid opinion. Iran is already at war with Israel! Maybe you never heard the threats to wipe the off the map. Hizbullshite and hamass is supported by Iran, they are at war with Israel! Israel gets along with any country that will accept them! I know I'm stating the obvious and you probably know this. you most likely have a pathetic little existence and make your self feel better by blaming others for your self inflicted miserable negative being. nothing personal though! lol
33. # 30 Dan you don't see the whole picture

If Israel does the dirty work alone it's doing the U.S. dirty work. Friggin poopy for brains
34. To: No. 3

You are so stupid you cannot even see the forest for the trees. Exactly what do you think will be YOUR fate? Do you think that you are somehow immune? Here's a news flash -- if we go; you go. ALL OF YOU. It's really all that simple. Chose your side carefully, you ignorant moron. By the way -- Iran's long-distance missiles have not been tested. There's a high probability that most of them will fall in Jordan. Besides, Iran's military command and control computer systems have been invaded by computer viruses and worms of Israeli creation. Truth be told, they have no way of knowing if Israel can turn their missiles around and drop them on Teheran, or Qum, or Isfahan, or earthquake-ravaged Tabriz, or Bandar Abbas -- you get the point. Either way, though, your ass is toast. When you emerge from your shelter unscathed, you had better start packing. No room in Medinat Israel for the likes of you. About time, too.
35. To: No. 30
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.14.12)
Funnily enough, I seem to recall that the United States was distinctly unhappy when Israel destroyed the Osirac nuclear reactor in Baghdad. Of course, nine years later, the United States found itself enmeshed in the 1991 Gulf War. Think of all the American servicemen and women that did NOT come home in body bags thanks to Israel's foresight, and show a little respect and a GREAT DEAL of gratitude. Thanks to Israel, the United States did not have to face a nuclear Iraq. We did your dirty work for you, asshole. And we never got a single word of thanks. Talk about "friggin' ingrates."
36. It seems to me that
Rube Vogel ,   Jerusalem   (08.14.12)
US military action in Iran would guarantee Obama the election. If he is hesitant now, is it possible he will do it later?
37. To: Rube Vogel at No. 36
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.14.12)
Probably not. Don't forget that Obama has a private agenda, which includes Islamicization of the civilized world. He's no American. He's a toady of the Iranian and their minions. You need look no further than the events throughout the Arab world in the past several years to figure out that one. Hussein Obama has revealed his true, slimy self. I think that the American voters recognize this.

Moshe of Rockville ,   Rockville,MD USA   (08.14.12)
1) Obama has NO private agenda.2) He has NO plan to Islamize the civilize world or any nations thereof.3)Obama is American for NO non-American can become president.3)Obama is no flatterer of "the Iranian and their minions," to whomever you're referring.I am not even going to comment on the "slimey self" nonsense. I am surprised your comments have begun to sink so low.I want to point out one very basic fact: Obama has provided Israel with the largest amount of American military aid in US history.Not only is he committed to the $3 billion per year to ensure that Israel has the latest technologies and weapons available,the $250 million and additional $70 million for the continuing effectiveness of the Iron Dome ant-missile system,Obama is selling bunker-buster bombs and the F-35 fighter/figher bomber aircraft, and is cooperating with Israel in the Arrow and David's Sling missile systems. The above is just a part of the levels of assistance and cooperation that the US has with the Jewish state.Think before you write your foolishness.
39. Is there a bigger group of whiners than Israelis?
TaylorT ,   Earth   (08.14.12)
Three dozen posts on this topic, all whining that Obama (surprise!) isn't doing Israel's dirty work for it. You do realize that he's the President of the US, don't you? And not of Israel? Of course if you truly want US help, you think you people would know how to show a little appreciation. As well as not consistently whine and complain about your only ally on the planet. But this simple truth seems beyond you. No wonder you people were stateless for 2000 years.
40. Has someone not paid their AIPAC dues?
ZionistBill ,   Israel   (08.14.12)
I thought we had this president bought and paid for? At least that's what I was promised. Perhaps some of you here haven't paid your AIPAC dues, maybe that bigot Sarah B.? We must realise that if we want the US to act for us, it's going to cost money. I know we as a people don't like spending money unless we have to, but now is one of those times. So dig deep, my fellow Israelis, and let's see if we can't get AIPAC enough money in order to buy Obama in the same way we buy US congressmen.
41. #9 Hypocrisy
ben Ish   (08.14.12)
The US in just the last two years: 1) Afghanistan 2) Iraq 3) Libya Add to this: - Current CIA operations in Syria - Drone strikes and military action in dozens upon dozens of countries on five continents. - And by declaring "war" on "terrorism", the US has officially categorized THE ENTIRE PLANET as a battlefield. You can take your accusations of warmongering and hypocrisy and put them where they belong.
42. #38 delusional or professional?
ben Ish   (08.14.12)
Are you a delusional left winger, or are you a paid dis-information psyop? You may be right about the "no private agenda" as Obama is simply a teleprompter reading puppet, and at home is likely ruled by Michelle. I do take exception to your claims that Obama supports Israel. The FACT is that from the day he took office, Obama has been running a defacto arms EMBARGO against Israel. Every loan and arms purchase made by Israel has been based on contracts made before Jan 20, 2008. And Obama has even interfered with some of those. The $3 billion per year are LOAN Guarantees, committed to Israel LONG BEFORE Obama took office, he has NOTHING to do with it. Secondly, that is not "AID" it is "LOAN" and the funds are only for ARMS. Which Obama has been blocking since the day he took office. So are you selectively delusional, or is someone paying you to spread disinformation?
43. #39 TaylorT
Moshe of Rockville ,   Rockville,MD USA   (08.14.12)
Your complaint that 36 posts were "whining that Obama(surprise) isn't doing Israel's dirty work" exhibits the nonsense that is frequently drawn to an Israeli news site.During the first Gulf War from 01/17/91 - 02/28/91 Pres,Bush(the father) warned Israel not to defend itself from attack by Iraq.The nation received Patriot anti-missile systems to defend themselves,but there were not enough to go around,resulting in damage to various properties and injuries.No Israelis died directly from these attacks.The Israelis did the "dirty work" for the US.No American soldier has lost his/her life defending the Jewish State.How many have we lost defending S.Korea,S.Vietnam,Afghanistan and Iraq? Yes we were stateless for 2000 years, but we outlasted the Assyrians,Babylonians,Greeks,Persians,Romans,Christian invaders, Muslim invaders, Ottomans and even the British.Say what? Are you trying to apologize.Well, you can take that apology and stuff it where the sun doesn't shine.

Moshe of Rockville ,   Rockville,MD USA   (08.14.12)
You may call me all the names you like,but your "facts" are straight out of a looney bin or your of knowledge of the workings of the executive branch of the US government needs some extra study. Your so called de facto arms embargo is unquestionably is utter nonsense.More the so-called "loan guarantees" are in fact actual amounts spent on military purchases by the IDF with the cooperation of the Defense Dept. The amounts were certainly created many years before Obama - probably late Nixon-but the Obama administration has CONTINUED AND EXPANDED the assistamce to include Iron Dome and other defensive systems. Your info sounds like you do not know what the hell is going on.When you speak of delusional, look in the mirror.You'll locate the delusional one. Stop reading those comic books and get back to reality.
