1. Obama: We`ll do what we`ll do .......
Nora Tel Aviv   (09.25.12)
...and then all it "What had to be done". Tragy-comical empty talk.
2. Nuclear Iran etc...
Les ,   Fort Lauderdale, FL   (09.25.12)
Why are we still talking about this? I know many of our so called allies have huge investments in Iran. I don't see the commitment to prevention necessary to promote and enforce peace there. Where is the necessary investment from their largest investors to promote peace? Why are we always the world's police? Extremism is dangerous to the world. When the leadership of a nation is extremist, tragic things usually happen as we have already seen. Could have, should have, would have...patience...boom. Prevention?!! Where are the world leaders on Iran? China, Russia, Australia, Europe? The UN should never allow this kind of brutality. It is a pitiful display of cowardice. The clock is ticking and no one is challenging them from their side. Do they know something we don't know? Is that good? I doubt it. It is ashamed that the leadership of a nation with such a rich history has lost all respect for anything but themselves.
3. sounds like Pharaoh Ramses

4. what will happen will happen
Amos J   (09.25.12)
what will happen will happen... do what must be done.... so let it be written, so let it be done..... yada.....yada.... any other famous, eloquent last words to be added ?
5. In other words
Amichai ,   Huntsville, US   (09.25.12)
"I'll do what I must do to get the Jewish vote and secure re-election." Anyone who gives any credence to his statement is willfully being deceived.
6. Obama words are worthless
Marsha Frey ,   St. Louis, Missouri,   (09.26.12)
Do not count on Obama - for anything! We are learning first hand just how hollow, shallow and solipsistic Obama's words are. We, the American people, back Israel. Obama does not. Do what you have to do to survive and we are with you. As Israel goes, so goes the world. People need to awake to this understanding.
7. eloquent words but...
Mike ,   London, UK   (09.26.12)
that's all they are
8. Obama needs to go
Coo ,   USA   (09.25.12)
I am one of the many Americans that is outraged and embarrassed that this man is our President. His foreign policies are a joke! I will case my vote to get Obama out and restore our long friendship with Israel! I believe Mitt Romney will accomplish that!
9. What Does That Mean?
(09.25.12)
Don't Most People Do What Needs To Be Done? Maybe Just 43% of Americans Do What Needs To Done? As For The 47% Who Want To Be Taken Care Of? Can't Speak For them maybe b.H.o. can?????
10. #1
Mark ,   UK   (09.26.12)
You right Netanyahu is full of comical empty talk.
11. Obama: containment not an option
Alan ,   Canada   (09.25.12)
It appears the most important part of Obama's speech regarding Iran's plans to produce nuclear weapons is when he states that: "Make no mistake: a nuclear-armed Iran is not a challenge that can be contained. It would threaten the elimination of Israel, the security of Gulf nations, and the stability of the global economy....." If this statement is not a temporary posture eyeing the coming elections, then the US determination to prevent a nuclear Iran is solid. However, US reliance on endless & fruitless diplomacy backed by ineffective sanctions is not proving to be a means to stop or delay the progress of Iran towards reaching its objectives.
12. do not do anything -evil- but good

13. Comments
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.25.12)
There's a lot I have to say about Obama's pathetic and whiny excuse for a speech, but I will confine myself to two items that particularly rankled: "Let us remember that Muslims have suffered the most at the hands of extremism." No, Mr. President, I believe that the Jewish people have pride of place. "The future must not belong to those who target Coptic Christians in Egypt. It must be claimed by those in Tahrir Square who chanted, 'Mulsims, Christians, we are one.'" There are Jews in Egypt, too, Mr. President. Granted, not very many -- persecution took care of that -- but I guess the Egyptian vision -- and yours -- doesn't much care about the Jewish people. Can't say I'm surprised. Appalled, yes; surprised, no.
14. Obama will do what he can do to help Iran build nukes.
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.25.12)
15. He'll go golfing...and go on the View again.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (09.26.12)
16. a secure Jewish State of Israel,
mary_of_bethany ,   singapore   (09.26.12)
"The road is hard but the destination is clear – a secure, Jewish state of Israel" : came right out of the "Horse's mouth". let's see when Chief O reverse what he declared just. so did he reverse "Jerusalem the United Capital of Israel". so goes the blah blah blah, the Chief does what he was elected for, that swooned hearts of nuts like Madonna. oh, am i surprised?
17. Hit Iran and let this lazy bum do the mop-up work
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (09.25.12)
or deal with the consequences, depending on your point of view.
18. 'What must be done:' WW III of course!
Orestes ,   Seattle USA   (09.25.12)
The universe expects us to perform our obligation to exterminate our species to make way for the next.
19. Translation....
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (09.25.12)
I will do whatever I have to if it gets me re-elected. No more, no less.
20. War time talk.. guy's head span out from too much gun powder
Miron ,   USA   (09.26.12)
And then they employ whole universities to figure out source of global war - ming. Here is your source.
21. More video nonsense
Hidon   (09.26.12)
A brazen liar, nothing to do with any video - to do with USA foreign policy.
22. Liar
j ,   Dwight IL   (09.25.12)
How this man Obama can sit there and strait faced lie right to our faces is unbelievable. JFK assassination was a coup d'etat, we are under occupation by a central banking oligarchy. Don't expect to read about this in history class. You - warned.
23. blah blah blah
DavidR ,   USA   (09.25.12)
How to know when obama is lying. You see his lips move. FYI obama. The film spoke the truth.
24. He will keep his secret promise to Iran
Edward ,   New York USA   (09.25.12)
and do nothing while blocking Israel from initiating their own defense. Dump Obama!
25. Hussein Narack Obama...all sizzle and no steak!
jack ,   San Diego, USA   (09.25.12)
26. Obama again shifts blame
Isabella1709 ,   Tampa USA   (09.25.12)
The death of our ambassador is all the fault of the video and mobs of Muslims. Well he is correct about the mobs, but somehow the reason for the mobs is not the fault of Islam, or lax security despite warnings. So four fine men are dead and the evader in chief is again shirking responsibility as he does with all things. G-d please defeat Obama in whatever way you wish. Just save us from these irresponsible, empty people like he and Clinton. They will destroy our nations.
27. It's all noise and false promises with Obama.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (09.25.12)
He will do nothing. Pacifists like sitting on their hands and watching.
28. and let me be perfectly clear
Josh ,   Atlanta   (09.26.12)
As he is so fond of saying.... Taking a position without establishing red lines is riding the fence. He wants your vote in America, but he's unwilling (as he always has been, quite consistently)...unwilling to EVER take action against militant Islamists. Why is that? He demanded that secularists go in Libya and Egypt because they oppressed their own people. Was this not also the case of Iran? Yet what was Dear Leader's response? WAKE UP to the fact that he is a Muslim. He's even said it as the result of multiple Freudian slips...People don't forget what religion they're supposed to be...Even if it's fake for the camera...we know he's no Christian, so it begs the question at what point did he need to pretend to be a Muslim which caused all the confusion? At least as far as America is concerned, the only people who are fooled are those that choose the be fooled. Say Christians have no future if we slander the prophet? Not long ago the VP said we want to put black people back in chains. This rhetoric is making me awfully nervous.
29. Obama lowers himself
David Wesner ,   Cleveland, Ohio   (09.25.12)
Sorry to see that Obama, still my favorite candidate, has lowered himself to the level of standard pablum for the Zionist masses. This is pure hypocrisy, from the leader of the country with the most atomic weapons, in league with a much smaller country whose government is most full of hatred. Very sorry to hear this man's words.
30. Obama's speech vs deeds
Syd Chaden ,   Palelrmo Calif USA   (09.26.12)
Obama gives good speeches. He can deliver a speech on any occasion, for any event. He undoubtedly has his speech written already in case Iran attacks Israel with nuclear weapons. Of course, his speech will condemn that. And, he undoubtedly has his speech written already in case Israel attacks the Iranian nuclear capability, to prevent an attack on Israel. His speech will condemn that, too. Despite his refusal to draw a red line for Israel to rely upon, Obama does have a red line. It is to keep the oil shipping lanes in the Hormuz Strait open. His red line does not preclude the destruction of Israel. If Israel is to survive, it is up to Israel to take whatever action is necessary. Obama won't.
