1. Laughing stock of the world. Bunch of 6th century throwbacks
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (10.03.12)
2. BELATED THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (10.03.12)
As it is,the article relates to what a known media will produce four years hence.So the only thing one can do is to thank them for the report.However, if such was the case,what are the interested parties waiting for?One wonders.
3. Sounds like these guys won't be stopping much of anything
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (10.03.12)
when the time comes. Maybe it's best for them to initiate an offensive, instead of being taken by surprise.
4. Crude shooters?
frankm   (10.03.12)
If they missed all the targets, then it is a welcome news to Israel air force.
5. Now you can imagine
Sarah B. ,   U.S.A./Israel   (10.03.12)
what they can do with some nukes... Freak people.
6. Yeah right...
Pentagon ey?! ,   Tehran, IRAN   (10.03.12)
Didn't the Pentagon also say they didn't lose a certain a RQ-170 Sentinnel drone which is currently being reverse engineered. Fun fact time. Iran enjoys the most sophisticated and advanced air defence systems in the world.
7. Islamic nations
Toby   (10.03.12)
Not a surprising article. Islamic nations have always been followers, can't do anything right without goods/services/support from the west, and have to rely on western technology and knowhow to function properly —everything from jeans to oilfield technology to military hardware etc etc. The are a failed model in so many ways.

Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (10.03.12)
So if your air defense is so good how many of your own planes did you manage to shoot down? I hear you guys have the most sophisticated mine removal system in the world too. Your own children. You might want to get your plastic key to paradise ready.
10. noway
Mohideen ,   sri lanka   (10.03.12)
anyway this time Israle will not escape
11. IRANIANS FIRE AT THEMSELVES
H ROSEN ,   PA USA   (10.03.12)
DON'T LAUGH TOO MUCH..AN ATTACK BY THE US OR ISRAEL WILL RESULT IN A LAND WAR WITH HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS IRANIAN SOLDIERS MARCHING TO ISRAEL....ISRAEL CANNOT AFFORD THIS EVEN IF IT DESTROYS IRANIAN NUCLEAR SITES. LOOK AT THE WAR IRAN WAGED AGAINST IRAQ ..THEY ARE WILLLING TO SACRIFICE THEIR PEOPLE AND THEY HAVE PLENTY OF THEM TO DESTROY ISRAEL. THEY ARE FRANTIC AND IT IS MORE LIKELY THAT AS THEIR ECONOMIC SITUATION TANKS THEY MAY INITIATE A WAR TO "SAVE" THEIR INSANE REGIME

You may want to also do the same. And tell your buddies on 5th Fleet they're on floating death traps while you're at it. We'll see what you're 16 Trillion DEBT balloons to when oil hits $300. Have a nice day shuck.
13. The mind of Muhmood
Moohamhead ,   Lahore, Pakistan   (10.03.12)
And four years hence, if it is the will of Allah, Islamic fascists will be sent to the fiery hell they have earned in this life. Included those resident of dar el harb.
14. We are no longer week people from the shtettles!!
Brett Levitas ,   Johannesburg SA   (10.03.12)
And the Arab armies will be as useless today as they have been in the last 50 years. That these morons actually think they can defeat not only the military might of Israel but her supreme intelectual and technological prowess they continue to live in a world full of naked virgins. We will overcome these animals!!

(10.03.12)
of course you iranians have to reverse engineer the drone. you do not have enough brains to build one of your own, do you? in light of the above, the pentagon report seems very accurate. it describes the brainless iranian airforce and military.
16. Iran is a country run by the marx brothers and the 3 stooges
Jewish Doctor   (10.03.12)
Iran likes to portray itself as a "modern" country with a "modern" army, but the big difference between wishful thinking and spin vs the actual reality, is the utter complete ineptness, the constant confusion, the unending "ALWAYS blame others" game, the 9th century thinking of it's bitter cruel and incredibly savage theocracy led by a senile hate filled & incredibly myopic theocrat and his sycophants and stooges. Iran's next move will be to try and quell/squash another popular rising reaction to: 200% hyper inflation, 75% currency devaluation. wide spread long term 50% unemployment major brain drain of professionals and being completely surrounded by one of the largest invasion armies and fleets ever assembled... even bigger than the WW2 invasion force of europe. I see no future for Iran although I believe it will fall flat on it's face and even try to hit Israel...and that will get rid of the theocracy once and for all...I have seen this coming since the Carter year's Hostage taking of 444 days.
17. WHY,YES........................................#8
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (10.03.12)
Don't you wonder that if what has been written in the article shows the condition of the defence system............how come the country that has been planning,conducting drills and literally begging USA to join hands showing reluctance to conduct air raids on their Nuclear facilities? Cowards,aren't they Golani?
18. And We're Expected To Trust Them With a Nuke?
emanon ,   USA   (10.03.12)
19. the drone
max ,   istanbul   (10.03.12)
may or may not be riddled with computer viruses
20. Iran is led by a primitive narrow minded president.
Abuya   (10.03.12)
Grew up and brain washed with hate against Jews and the west. This guy is leading a great nation like Iran. how this happened?
21. # No problem, bro
John ,   Boise, ID USA   (10.03.12)
Oil could drop very sharply after the Iranian oil fields are taken over... if that's what you would like, we can make it happen. Just a little reminder: Remember the Kosovo War and their "world famous air defense system?" Check the historical military synopsis on this, get the facts, and then when the shooting starts, look for an underground shelter. Also understand the military capabilities of a single carrier which can easily remove the military airfields. How would Iran be rebuilt, if it cannot sustain itself now? Tell your dictators to come to their senses about their threats to the world, and Iran could be spared to join the rest of the human race and economy. Yes, have a nice week of shopping.
