1. Bambi's minion Dempsey can't even protect his own plane
ab   (09.02.12)
Perhaps it's better he's not compicit in protection of Israel's existence
2. Bibi, Bibi he's our man, if he can't do it, no one can.
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (09.02.12)
And he's going to do it before the US elections....screw em'
3. Another redline?
Sarah B   (09.02.12)
How many is that now? How about Netanyahu declare which redline he prefers and sticks to it. Rather than announce he is about to attack Iran because they have crossed a redline, then declare another redline because the world has stated go ahead?
4. Time for Netanyahu to quit
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (09.02.12)
For three years Netanyahu could have acted, but he just talked. In these three years, Iran has prepared its defenses and increased and distributed its weapons programs. Now, when Obama is facing reelection and there is crop failure in the American Midwest, Netanyahu slams Western Powers? Netanyahu: you failed. Quit now and give your job to someone who is willing to defend Israeli civilians.
5. WE ALL know, that there will be NO red
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (09.02.12)
lines drawn by anyone in regard to the Iranian nuke program...Not now and NEVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The whole world has accepted Iran to go nuclear... Some years ago, Israel defied the Pharao...now it MUST defy the Iranian Nazis !
6. #5
Sarah B   (09.02.12)
Netanyahu thought that he could play Obama the same way Olmert played Bush vis a vis Iraq. Fortunately/unfortunately this is not the case and as a result Netanyahu is busy drawing redlines on pieces of paper. Meanwhile you are correct Netanyahu has maneouvered himself into a position where all he can do is declare redline after redine in the hope that Romney will be more malleable like President Bush was.
7. Rottenloser a question
Horst ,   Ge   (09.02.12)
Do you have an exclamation mark stuck in your back passage?
8. Why Iran should not have nuclear power?
Gregg ,   Haifa IL   (09.02.12)
Israel has it and Israel even has nuclear heads... So what? Shove it mr Netanyahu You're not the king of the world
9. Red line on Iran
Benjamin ,   Greenville   (09.02.12)
Netanyahu needs to stop whining or attack Iran. How stupid is this man? It is obvious that the international community does not care about Iranian nukes or Israel. So do something about Iran on your own or shut up. The constant whining by Bibi and Barak, former "commandos," is becoming a laughing stock.

If you don't know the answer to your own question, then you are really long gone.
11. OH great! another red line, how many is that now?
tf ,   herzliya il   (09.02.12)
12. Like Yam Kinneret? (4 red lines & 1 black line... so far!
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (09.02.12)
13.  World has yet to set red line on Iran
Andrew ,   Brighton   (09.02.12)
Israel please feel free to attack Iran but please leave europe out of it this is an Isralie problem .
14. this reminds me of the kid who dares another kid
JL   (09.02.12)
to knock the chip off his shoulder..after the kid does it the other kid draws a line in the sand and dares the kid to cross the line..
15. Its ironic that the most American PM in Israel history
steve holtze ,   montclair   (09.02.12)
has been such disaster to US/Israel relations. And no, it is not Obama.
16. The Final Red Line Is Approaching
RC ,   USA   (09.02.12)
Well it seems that the waiting game is not working in Israel’s favor. Soon most governments will think they can live with a nuclear Iran as long as they think they can contain it. Russia and China have already proven themselves with the UN Syria vetoes and it will most likely be the same with Iran. No matter what military option Israel uses against Iran the world will condemn Israel for the spike in oil prices. The US and the rest of the world must take into consideration that if Israel is backed into a corner and is forced to use aggression against Iran it might have to use unconventional means (EMP for example) to get the job done and in order to reduce the means of a large Iranian retaliation. If the world keeps dragging its feet it will share part of the blame for what will happen. May YAHUWAH EL SHADDAI grant Israel the courage, strength and inner peace of mind to be able to keep the enemies at bay for they are many and their hatred towards Israel seems unnatural and truly evil.
17. Time to use the nukes
Avi ,   USA   (09.02.12)
It's time Israel stopped playing this cat and mouse poker game with Obama. Israel needs to let Obama know if he does not support Israel in whatever it needs against Iran Then Israel will be the first to use nuclear weapons in the middle east. Time to call Obama's Bluff and let's roll
18.  GO HOME NETANYAHU
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED OPERAHOUSE   (09.02.12)
You are not fit for purpose with your endless "Red Lines " and nonsense speeches. Iran is laughing at you.
19. I'm really laughing hard at these red lines..LOL
Arash ,   Tehran-Iran   (09.02.12)
Please...just keep up the red lines coming...you really amuse us...ROFL....Oh, and i really can't wait for comments from the likes of Sarah B and Co. LOL....
20. Forget
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.02.12)
21. Forget red lines. Destroy Iran's nukes NOW!
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.02.12)
The world has no red lines concerning Iran. The world will do nothing about Iranian nukes and we know it. Destroy Iran's nukes NOW!
22. Israel stated that Iran enriching uranium to 20%
Ivor Evenbiggergun   (09.02.12)
would be a redline last year. Iran is thought to be enriching to 40% and Israel has done nothing. Why should the world draw a red line when Netanyahu disregards the red lines he himself has drawn
23. his heart is in the right place but he is not up to it
alexi   (09.02.12)
Though bibi is light years ahead of olmert, livni and peres, youwonder why he hangs onto barak who yaps and does nothing else. Because in all likelihood, bibi and I am guessing on this was a lousy soldier. Maybe they figured that if he was yoni's brother or bentzion's son, he must be good. He is scared stiff and needs god to endorse his decision. He has turned israel into a crybaby . He knows this so give the reins to yaalon and become UN spokesman. You are in over your head.
24. Red Lines
Lynn ,   Knoxville, USA   (09.02.12)
Obviously, among all Israeli pols and not just Netanyahu, "Red Lines" have become "pink."
25. to Alexi-i agree with you but
the mad zionist ,   sf-ny-is   (09.03.12)
from what I've heard Moshe yaalon is against a strike on Iran. I've always said the same thing, he would be a better DM and should have gotten it, but Netanyahu needed barak (or so he thought) to deal with Obama. But now he needs him because Barak would go through with it in regards to Iran, but God bless Israel, barak is not fit for the job, not even fit to be sent to US (remember the Charlie Rose interview, "if he was Iran he would develop nuclear weapons too"). We need a true leader, not sure who fits that description at the moment though Jake sarna
26. IRAN & NUKE
Eric ,   NEW YORK,US   (09.03.12)
I don't get it, If Israel can have over 300 NUKE bomb why is big issue to have NUKE for Iran ? History says Iran never attack on another country within the 1000 years nor Iran says that we will attack on Israel ; Per my small mind , dog can Just bark only .....
