1. Israel needs a "straw enemy" to disguise illegal settlements
Steven Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (10.02.12)
...as a necessity for Israeli security.
2. Bibi said the Iranian regime would give up their nuke agenda
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (10.02.12)
And they will. Even if it's through pillars of blood and fire.
3. Are crude oil sales funding Iran's nuclear programs..
Ivan ,   South Africa   (10.02.12)
If so, it's time to work on bringing down the oil price to $10 a barrel..
4. Aren't Iranian threats to wipe out Israel primitive?
Jouko ,   Finland   (10.02.12)
5. Please don't yield
John ,   Boise, ID USA   (10.02.12)
While you have your glasses on read the fine print: Don't yield Now, take your glasses off and read the large print: Incoming missles
6. Huh?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.02.12)
"The Zionist regime is ruled by the US and the US is ruled by the Zionist regime" Where I come from, that's called a tautology. Absolutely meaningless. Rather stupid, in fact!
7. Economic pressure alone is insufficient,
Stephen in New York   (10.02.12)
but gives the warm, fuzzy feeling that the "international community" is doing something. I'm not going to learn to live with an Iranian bomb. Are you?
8. #1 Because everything revolves around Israel, eh?
Roman ,   Lod, Israel   (10.02.12)
And Israeli agents set up the Iranian nuclear program, and made sure Ahmadinejad was "voted" into office. And they also made sure he'd make all those "misinterpreted" and "mistranslated" statements of his, along with creating a convention for "independent reevaluation" of the Holocaust. Sounds ludicrous? But that's what your statement implies, Steven. You obsessively focus on Israel and Israelis as the root of all problems that you've seemingly lost the plot. And reality itself.
9. AND YET TRUE..................................#6
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (10.02.12)
I know it sounds stupid,but certain truth do sound stupid,don't they?
10. Mahmoud is a brave man unlike Bibi Nuttyyahoo the Booby
roger ,   zurich switzerland   (10.02.12)
11. To Mahmoud
Murat ,   Ankara, Turkey   (10.02.12)
Of course we don't expect you to "fall on the nuclear issue". You will cave in instead from within, economically. While you are protecting and expanding your nuclear program, your economy is crumbling. There is no need for military action in the Spring of 2013. At your rate of economic implosion, Iran will be done for by then. That's why Washington doesn't feel it needs to attack you. As the american president Clinton famous line goes "It's the economy, stupid!".
12. #1 Whats wrong Steven you pick-up broken
Mike ,   Israel   (10.02.12)
Is that why you have so much time on your hands to read Israeli news? The pace you and your goverment are going I hope you'll enjoy sharia law, its sure to happen after November. Dont expect any help from us but I will enjoy saying "I told you so" that is if you'll have internet.
13. The yahoosss # 1 & # 5 are bored today
Mike ,   Israel   (10.02.12)
14. "Straw Enemy"
Luigi ,   Cape Town, ZA   (10.02.12)
If by "straw enemy" you mean a nation that has labelled Israel a cancer on the face of the Earth, a nation who says Israel has no connection to the land historically, ethnically or religiously and has threatened to push it into the sea. I would invite you to go back to English class and re-study figures of speech as you clearly don't know how to apply a metaphor accurately. Further, Israeli settlements are not illegal as Judea and Samaria are not part of any "Palestinian State" hence there desire for UN recognition.
15. Iran will fall on the religious issue.

Uli ,   Belgium   (10.02.12)
It's crystal clear... Both US and Israel are ruled by Zionists...
17. Classic Case of Obsession
Pete ,   USA   (10.02.12)
"Ahmadinejad: Iran won't relinquish nuclear program " Classic case of obsession. Moby Dick and the White Whale - all over again. Ahmadinejad will lead himself and his country to doom ... and he will never have any regrets about doing it. Madness!

Moshe of Rockville ,   Rockville,MD USA   (10.02.12)
1) The settlements do not need a "disguise." 2)These settlements are only "illegal," when Israeli law enforcement authorities say they have been so determined. 3)The territory on which these settlements are located are disputed,since the prior authority was the British mandate as authorized by the League of Nations and the UN.The Ottoman government - no longer in existence - was the previous authority to the mandate. The land was never governed by any Palestinian Arab authority. Jewish presence in the land was begun at least 3000 years ago - closer to 4000 yrs.ago.The Arabs arrived from Arabia over the millenia.Evidence suggests that a Palestinian government is merely a ploy to begin the destruction of the Jewish State.
19. please please dr Phil
dieuwke ,   holland   (10.03.12)
please Dr Phil can he come to your show?
20. #3 - How do you propose lowering the price of oil?
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (10.03.12)
Why is it so hard for people to understand that the price of oil is set by the GLOBAL free market based on supply and demand. Right now demand is about 90% of supply and there is no way to increase supply, NONE. Every oil field on earth is producing full out. While it is easy for Israel to RAISE the price of oil just by rattling their sabre, there is NOTHING the US or Israel can do to lower the price of oil, NOTHING. Oil will stay at around US$100/bbl or go higher for the next few years, giving Iran about US$75/bbl profit. That is just the reality so live with it.
21. And who will pay the price?
Tim ,   Brighton   (10.03.12)
Ahmadinejad has the answer. He has said on record 'All Iranians will sacrifice whatever is necessary and for however long to support the Islamic Revolution and our Nuclear Rights' He KNOWS that this clandestine nuclear project and their extremist and fanatical ideology is costing Iranians not only financially but is taking Iran to the brink of war which no one wants. And the financial consequences of this economic meltdown are going to be endured for at LEAST a decade Is he THAT blind deaf and stupid not to know what Iranians are thinking and saying about the Regime? Wasting sqaundering and bribing with hundreds of billions of Irans wealth? Is it really worth $240billion to pursue nuclear enrichment ...for medical and agricultural puposes? Is it really worth up to 15% of GDP on arms? Is it really worth $5bn A YEAR to keep Nasrallah Hezbollah Mashaal and Hamas in comfort? Is it really worth up to $20bn A YEAR in bribery and corruption? Is it really worth $15bn A YEAR to maintain the secret police and internal security apparatus? Thats the PRICE of Ahmadinejads FOLLY
