Li WangHou ,   China   (12.22.12)
Assad should do hid best to resist as much as he can, so it gives both sides enough time to harm each other as much as they could :)
2. They can't handle their own people
Jacob E ,   Holon, Israel   (12.22.12)
How does Iran figure they could handle Israel?
3. vahidi
aaron ,   toronto,canada   (12.22.12)
This dumb ass can't even see that Assad is about to be booted out of the country and Iran being ISOLATED from the rest of the world along with hizballah and hamas.
4. Hopefully at the end of the civil war
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (12.22.12)
Syria will be a great uninhabited nature reserve, like the Kalahari desert.
5. Syria is very experienced
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (12.22.12)
Each & ever war she started, she lost Yup, they're epxerienced losers
6. Vahidi
Son Of Cyrus ,   UK   (12.22.12)
Dear Mr Vahidi, The people of Syria do not want Dictator Assad. The people of Persia do not want you and your disgraceful Islamic Regime of Ayatollah. Why don't you guys give it up and save a lot of innocent lives. Your days are numbered along with Shekh Nasrallah Of Hezbullah in Lebanon.
7. #2 Jacob - Answer
Son Of Cyrus ,   UK   (12.22.12)
Mr Vahidi and the Ayatollah's will achive this by blowing hot air out of all their orifices!
8. lets compare
zionist forever   (12.22.12)
His best tanks are his T72 the bulk of them are the same T55 which saw action in 1967 v Merkava 4 The most advanced aircraft in the airforce are a small number of SOVIET era MIG 29 which have to take on large numbers of the most modern versions of the F15 & F16. To make it worse for Assad, his pilots are badly trained whilst the IAF are some of the best in the business. His navy his made a handful of boats that saw action in 1967. The bulk of his ground troops are reserves but how many of the reserves can will go fight for him? I wonder how much the fact that the bulk of the forces are badly trained reserves has to do with rebel victories? Syria's only real threat to an invading army are its missiles & chemical weapons. The bulk of them are short - medium range Scuds and air defenses The rebels though are easy targets even for old equipment. All in all doesn't have a chance against any western armywhich is why I have never understood why we are so desperate for a peace treaty at the expense of the tactical Golan.

Robert Levita ,   Toronto, Canada   (12.22.12)
Iranian defence minister failed to ad ... because they've done such a great job in the past.

david ,   bsas,argentina   (12.22.12)
you will pay for the AMIA bombing here in Argentina in 94. You antisemitic goverment will pay and fall just like other before it when they tried to kill the jewish people. Syria is next.. Hezbollah later and then you... so then Iran can have a true democracy and not a theocracy that you impose on the people of Iran. Am Israel Jai
12. I think the same thing when I am hiking on our Golan
Chaim Ben Kahan ,   Efrat, Israel   (12.22.12)
I fear for the Iranian people who will suffer like the Syrian people because of their leaders belligerence.
13. Imbecille !.

zionist forever   (12.22.12)
I don't understand why we are all so desperate for a peace treaty with Syria when it hasn't been any threat to Israel for decades. If we go for the peace we don't need it will cost us the strategic high ground and no doubt Syria would get the standard military aid package like Jordan & Egypt got. He would get to replace his Soviet junk with exactly the same modern American equipment Israel has which would cost us the advantage we have now, so were there to be a war Israeli casualties would be much higher.
15. What Turkey does
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (12.22.12)
What Turkey does is up to Turkey, not Iran and not Syria. Turkey is a member of NATO.
16. WHICH DID HE WIN? BIGGEST LOSER! BIGGEST LIAR! NEW BUFFOON!!
DAV ZEE ,   AMERICA THE BEAUTIUL   (12.22.12)
THIS HAS TO BE THE GREATEST fool in the middle east... he always has something so bizzarre, so stupid, so maniacal to espouse, he has become the biggest joke of the M.E. - when he speaks, everyone starts to laugh...he lives on another planet (planet Moron) the world is laughing at him, in stitches, especially since that dopey Iraqi spokesman "ALy" Iraqi who kept telling the world Iraq and saddamn were winning...as the entire iraqi army colllapses, surrended to news helicopters, and tourists, and they pull sadamn out of his spider hole...this guy needs to stay in his spider hole...they'll be coming for him in the few months...hahahahaha...go laugh that off.. Another iranian dunce...the desert is so full of them, been out in the sun too long. Brains are fried.
17. #14 Pssst, zf....Don't give them any ideas
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (12.22.12)
ie. your sound logic ; )
18. Great news for Israel
Get Real ,   UK   (12.22.12)
to know that Iran has a Defense Minister of the calibre of Vahidi.
19. syria,russia,iran
jene1962@att.net ,   memphis, U.S.A.   (12.22.12)
All three are three-peas in a pod! Dictatorships, human-rights violators, and pure EVIL!!
20. To # 2.
jene1962@att.net ,   memphis, U.S.A.   (12.22.12)
Iran is pure madness, along with Syria, hezbollah, hamas, fatah, all are radical islamic terrorists. The I.D.F. can handle anything when the Almighty God is on their side. Israel will eventually rise above all three, when God destroys them and He will! Since they are killing one another just stand back and watch..
21. To # 7
jene1962@att.net ,   memphis, U.S.A.   (12.22.12)
Great answer, and I might add the right answer!
22. they are worse than anyone
israeli paratrooper   (12.23.12)
having fought against them in 1982 , i can attest that they can fight set piece battles . totally inflexible . totally unimaginative . i would rank them well below the jordanians or hizbollah
23. Vahidi is the baddest on the block
Melissa ,   US of Ara   (12.23.12)
I would love America to have him as head of defense. If anyone has seen pictures of him would know this a man, a man not to be messed with. He was bada#+ man. Israel better watch out with puny ehudell. Vahidi has been known to be a strategic genius. There are many many stories of him doing mock battles when he was at the tender age of 11. Israel should really think twice about messing with the powerhouse Iran. Let this be a warning to Israel
24. I note that Iran had said that Syria
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (12.23.12)
would deal with the Zionist regime. So very nice of them to be willing to sacrafice the lives of the Syrian's When will Iran be ready, that is the question ?
25. vahidi
DANNY TAWIL ,   ENGLAND   (12.23.12)
VAHIDI OFF WITH HIS HEAD.
26. #23 Vahidi
Get Real ,   UK   (12.23.12)
His judgement of the Syrian military seems to be that of an 11 year old. Thus your opinions both of him and Iran's military must be very comforting to Israel
