10. Still time for diplomacy, that is until....
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (09.11.12)
dirty bombs start going off in US cities, which come to think of it, won't be very long now, if not flat out overdue.
11. Ronald Reagan
ex-frummie ,   Johannesburg, S.A.   (09.11.12)
I am not an American, but Ronald Reagan made me proud of America. When he and Margaret Thatcher stood up to the USSR and led from the front - those were the days. Since his Administration the US has been on a downward trajectory. Now we have Amateurs running what used to be 'The Superpower' and dictating policies of containment with irrational state sponsors of terrorists who are responsible for the lives of US service people in combat zones worldwide. The only claim to fame Obama has is that he is a brilliant orator. You cannot lead a so-called Superpower by just speaking well. Actions determine history and legacies. History will not judge this mickey mouse Administration well. Especially if Iran manages to use Nuclear weaponry on US soil or on US citizens.
12. I found a hobby.
Matt   (09.11.12)
To pass the time until the end, best not to worry or think about it. The Yanks will only drive you to alcoholism.
13. Obama's red line = Tues Nov. 6 - THE US ELECTION STUPID!!!!!
helllloooo ,   Israel   (09.11.12)
14. Why doesnt Netanyahu cancel?
jim ,   UK   (09.11.12)
Here in london at least (might not be the same feeling in usa or israel) many jews feel obama will never do anything to help the state of israel, his office seems to have leaked stuff that hurt (at least that what people say). why doesnt netanyahu simply cancel meetings with him and say there is no point in meeting as his muslim roots prevent him from caring, furthermore the people around him know that he wants no good for israel so no point in meeting them either i mean why not be stong
15. Can we destroy America single handedly?
Barry Soetoro ,   Indonesia   (09.11.12)
"Yes we can", and with another four years, our mission shall be accomplished.
16. It's obvious Obama works for Iran.
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.11.12)
With credible estimates Iran is within weeks of building functional nuclear bombs, this is an obscene lie from the Obama regime. Iran's nukes must be destroyed. It's obvious Obama works for Iran. Destroy Iran's nukes NOW!
17. Time
Tom ,   Efrat, Israel   (09.11.12)
There is time, for diplomacy, like there was time with North Korea and Pakistan. In the end, Iran will have its bomb and then it will be too late to attack. Stop screwing around and get on with it.
18. But we TOLD Obama to attack Iran NOW!
ZionistBill ,   Israel   (09.11.12)
So why isn't he doing it? Who does he think he is? The last thing we want to do is our own dirty work.
19. Diplomacy and Red Line are NOT mutually exclusive elements
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (09.11.12)
in trying to ensure Iran doesn't acquire nuclear weapons. But, without Red Line and only, practically, when diplomacy is on the table, diplomacy, along with sanctions, as have been demonstrated, are not enough to stop Iran. The problem is the fact that Mr. B.H.Obama would rather place a Red Line on Israel's very existence than draw a Red Line before Islamist Iran!!
20. WOW Netanyahu has really
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (09.11.12)
out his dummy and thrown the rattle out of the pram this time Netanyahu is desperate to give the Israeli people evidence that his approach to Iran is the right one, hence the redlines thingie. Netanyahu wants a piece of paper that he can wave at the UN and shout some Zionist slogan. Whilst getting Mossad to produce a dodgy dossier (as in Iraq) which will fabricate evidence that Iran has crossed that redline. Clinton saw right through it, so Netanyahu is having a temper tantrum
21. Hey O! There's still time left to act like a leader
