31. #1. Al. You are absolutely correct
Tom W ,   USA   (09.17.12)
During every war since Israel inception, the US put an arms embargo on Israel. The US is a declining power, no match for the Russo-Chinese-Iranian axis. The US military is preoccupied with sexual-gender issues and Obamao will further weaken the US.
32. TRUE
Bawa ,   SRI LANKA   (09.17.12)
Benjamin Franklin's warning to the Constitutional Convention in 1789 concerning Jews has been called a marvel of prophecy which was recorded by Charles Pinckney of Charleston, South Carolina, and the original notes of Mr. Pinckney are said to be held at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. Benjamin said” "I fully agree with General Washington, that we must protect this young nation from an insidious influence and penetration. That menace, gentlemen, is the Jews. In whatever country Jews have settled in any great number, they have lowered its moral tone; depreciated its commercial integrity; have segregated themselves and have not been assimilated; have sneered at and tried to undermine the Christian religion upon which that nation was founded by objecting to its restrictions; have built up a state within a state; and when opposed have tried to strangle that country to death financially, as in the case of Spain and Portugal

34. #5 haha, you make me laugh
Mattan ,   FL, USA   (09.17.12)
blame the jews, such a fun game for ignorant monkies to play. In preventing dangerous regimes from getting nuclear weapons, lets look at the score: Israel: 2 (destroyed Syria's nuclear reactor, and Iraq's nuclear reactor a couple decades earlier) USA: 0. Iran has already been fighting a proxy war with the U.S. but there is a severe lack of balls in the politicians in Washington. Really, it's time to cut back on all nuclear (even peaceful power like the Germans) and prevent any countries who do not have already possess nuclear power from obtaining it.
35. Kennedy indeed put a Red Line with Soviets.

36. #7 What about ships in straits of Hormuz
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (09.17.12)
Do you really that allied ships are assembling there just for their health? If America feels that its oil supply is threatened, all hell will break loose
37. #9 ben - when did you perform autopsly?
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (09.17.12)
"A coroner in London has rejected suggestions of suicide or murder in the case of Egyptian billionaire Dr Ashraf Marwan, who was found dead " I guess we'll have to take the London Coroner's word over yours...
38. Indyk is a lap dog for obummer !!!
Don Rosenberg ,   Palatine USA   (09.17.12)
obummer is the most incompetent and unqualified president ever and the liberal morons, try to protect him with their white guilt. He should be down by 15-20 points to Romney, but obummer has all the ignorant blacks, hispanics, unions, guilty whites and the liberal press in his pocket. This fool should be kicked out of office.
39. Red Line
New Yorker ,   U.S.A.   (09.17.12)
Whether there are any declared red lines or not is inconsequential. Remember Munich of 1938! There were plenty of "red lines" and solemn commitments given by the European powers that had been. In the end none of it mattered. The leaders of the "commited" powers used all the excuses imaginable to wriggle themselves out of any and all commitments; betray their own honor and those who trusted them with their survival and ended up with the catastrophe on their hands. Remember Munich! Remember Chamberlain!
40. #8 Mark
DavidR ,   USA   (09.17.12)
Fear not, the IDF will be leading the party.
41. #11 Proud Jew
DavidR ,   USA   (09.17.12)
You are correct, however, it should be noted that it is the "Government" of America who will go against Israel. A detailed study of world history will leave you with no doubt that the movement of the Northern Kingdom of Israel was to the West. Their DNA still lives in as many as the stars of heaven and the sand of the sea. They are unaware for the most part who they are. Read Hosea 1 and 2. As the Prophets foretold, Yhudah will be the Bow in HaShem's hand, and Ephraim will be the arrow. When the government goes against Israel, millions of Americans will go against the government. This is a world wide thing! Not just the Middle East. Many in America and throughout the world are now awakening to their identity. You can count on more support than you think from America, in the end, as you say.
42. #15 Bill
DavidR ,   USA   (09.17.12)
You said, "The last thing Iran wants or can afford is a war with the U.S." What Iran wants is the final battle that will bring the mahdi and destroy Israel. Iran doesn't care how or with whom it starts, they just want the final battle. They are rushing to build nukes for just that purpose. If the war starts prior to them getting nukes, they don't care. They only want the Islamic world to destroy Israel and America and they don't give a damn how it starts. You forget the mentality you are dealing with here. These Ayatollahs could care less about who dies or the economy or anything else.
43. #26 fakeastan
DavidR ,   USA   (09.17.12)
Why don't you get a life. No one believes that you are Sarah B. Go find something to play with.
44. Indyk Is A FORMER Ambassador
World Citizen ,   the world   (09.17.12)
He's on the outside now. He was just another "talking head" on CNN blathering on about what might happen. His words mean nothing. Israelis should go fight their own wars and leave the rest of the world out of it.
45. GERMANY
Bill ,   Huntington Beach, CA   (09.17.12)
Merkel is a hypocrite! Germany sis supplying centrifuges to Iran: This is very profitable business.
46. You sure as Hell are not owed a war on your behalf, #11
Cameron ,   USA   (09.17.12)
If Israel pulls a desperate stunt that pulls us into a war that we are obliged to finish, then I guarantee the US will insist on an array of demands upon Israel that Israel will have no choice but to meet in full. Israel must balance on this tightrope with the greatest of finesse.
47. Conditionally Right
FredTownWard ,   Mocksville, NC, USA   (09.18.12)
The former envoy is likely to be right, but on one condition: President Obama's defeat in November. A reelected President Obama will never go to war with a friend (Iran) on behalf of an enemy (Israel), and as the recent "surprise events" on 09/11 show, he is capable of ignoring any intelligence reports (or common sense) that contrasts with his firm beliefs. Fortunately for all of us, this condition is the most likely election outcome. When an incumbent POTUS gets below 50% in a state this late in the election, he's almost certain to lose it because the so-called undecideds have already decided not to reelect him. Count any "Leans Obama" state where Obama has less than 50% of the vote as "Leans Romney" and watch the electoral map change.
48. USA,ISRAEL,iran
Jerry B. ,   USA   (09.18.12)
Please,,,dont allow any of you in Israel believe for a second,,,we in the USA dont LOVE YOU. Im talking MILLIONS LOVE YOU. We dont like this comm.in chief any better than you do. Bilieve it !!!!
49. Al No. 1
memyself   (09.21.12)
And Israel can do it without the whole bunch of you cowards. Just because none of you can stand on your own two feet certainly doesn't mean that Israel will follow suit. You're all gab and gators!
50. No. 4
the bum!   (09.21.12)
How can he "behalf".... he's too busy trying to look pretty!
51. israel's promised land
brian ,   wyandotte,mi.   (01.06.13)
the Lord promised Abraham all the land his feet tread upon was promised to his posterity in essence all the land the Israelis are fighting for is theirs and the Lord YHWH's
