31. #3 Exactly
Get Real ,   UK   (01.17.13)
because they chose to ignore, and not plan for the Nazi threat. Hitler hid the military build-up for years. At least now there is more awareness of the potentially lethal threat that a nuclear armed Iran poses to the world. Tough decisions may need to be made soon if no progress on this issue is made at the forthcoming talks. Who would you have lead Israel, Bibi or?????
32. maybe Iran could use nuclear for
Barney ,   USA   (01.17.13)
peaceful means. First you must take out the leadership of iran. This is the problem. Might be easier to "dispose" of those haters then kill a bunch of iranians who want a better way of life. Israel does it with terrorist leaders. why can't Israel and US put their efforts into this?
33. Israel lacks Global STRIKE capabilities...
Sheik rattle & roll ,   USA   (01.17.13)
The US air force & Navy can strike 10,000 conventional targets anywhere on the planet in 72 hours if given the order. Israel doesn't have that capability. One US B-2 stealth bomber or B-1, B-52 bomber can strike over 50 targets in one sortie. Israel doesn't have those planes. The F-15 & F-16 are great planes,however they are limited in the amount of ordnance they can carry and are far less capable than the US F-22 and when you count the US Navy ships that can launch hundreds of cruise missiles simultaneously Israel can not match that conventional fire power, so this is why BIBI prefers that the US does the job.
34. GIVEN UP ON ALL IRANIANS?.......#30
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (01.17.13)
Quite a number of times your talk-back has had soft spot for Iranians who you claimed to be opposing their Government in Iran.How come you have cursed all the Iranians all of a sudden?

Total ,   World   (01.17.13)
Well there we have it folks, the real core of Sarah B, racist and biggoted. I would like to remind you Sarah it was the mighty Persians that rescued the Jews 3,000 years ago so your welcome for that. But please remember, just as the Persians saved you then, they can destroy as well now. Have a nice day and try to let go of your anger and fear.
36. The USA has promised to abide by its Red line
Zechariah   (01.17.13)
The President has stated his Red Line the assemblage of a nuclear bomb and Likud has agreed to restrain. If the USA reneges nuclear proliferation can spread to South America .

41. To: No. 11
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.17.13)
Do you mean the way Obama constantly interferes in internal Israeli politics and criticizes Israel?
42. To: No. 15
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.17.13)
Oh, Israel knows what we have been hearing out of Teheran since 1979. Your statement is absurd on its face.
43. Israel is just full of surprises
Stephen in New York   (01.17.13)
and whatever Fallon is thinking of will not be it. Whatever Iran is preparing for won't be it.
44. #9 Sarah. We need to do the job already!
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.17.13)
Sarah, your analysis is spot on. I wish we'd get on with the job already! Destroy Iran's nukes NOW!
45. 39 - IRAN WILL HAVE THE BOMB
split ,   US   (01.17.13)
Considering all of this yelping and warmongering I would be surprised if they didn't have a few dirty ones with a pre-programed destination and target ,...
46. ARE THE IRANIANS USING SPECIAL.....#42
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (01.17.13)
Language to convey what you state to be so?You followed the media trend that got its boost out of nowhere,for your information.This tendency developed to ensure that USA get dragged with your fantasies.That is why you hear more cautionary approach to the Iranian problem in USA.................................get it right Sarah.
47. The post at No. 30 is not mine
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.17.13)
48. To: No. 35
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.17.13)
I did not compose the post at No. 30. By the way, the word "bigoted" has only one "g." . And the Persians under Cyrus the Great were Zoroastrians, not even remotely related to the Iranians of today. In point of fact, the tiny Zoroastrian community that remains in Iran are subject to unimaginable persecution by the Islamic Republic. It's a funny thing, though -- people have been threatening to exterminate the Jewish people for millennia. More recently, people have been threatening to destroy the Jewish state since the birth of the modern State of Israel. The Jewish people are still around, and the State of Israel is thriving.
49. TO 30
sam ,   colorado-US   (01.17.13)
arrogance is the beginning of the fall
50. 48 - I did not compose the post at No. 30.
split ,   US   (01.17.13)
You or not he/she is doing almost as good as you do on the field of ridiculing yourself ,... "and the State of Israel is thriving"- I would call it a barely afloat my dear, thanks to US/German handouts ,...
51. bottome line : iran will be nuclear power.
inconito   (01.17.13)
iran has everything to reach his goal. and nothing can't be done against that get ready for a nuclear iran
52. unknown
sam ,   colorado-US   (01.17.13)
There is a difference for both understood in politics between of engagement and interlock is better to U.S and Israel to use the theory of interlock than of engagement this is a rational solution instead of all that goes into the unknown
53.  there are better solutions
sam ,   colorado-US   (01.17.13)
Iran claim that they do not want to manufacture a nuclear bomb because it have already possesses nuclear bombs when the Soviet Union was dismantled Iranians have surprises so war on Iran is a very complicated thing there are better solutions
54. 30 Sarah B.: It is true Yahweh-Yeshua has given greater
Rivkah   (01.18.13)
intelligence to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob who obey Him in the foods they eat, in the prayers over their children, and in so many ways. To Judah (Jews) was given the scepter or throne or rule inheritance and even in the Gulag Archipelago of Russia, Jews could be found in positions of authority. It is the heritage of the Jews. But it is Yahweh-Yeshua who will defeat the enemies of the Israelis. Perhaps He will do that with US armaments. Perhaps He will do that with meteorite showers and icey-firey 100 pound hailstones as the Earth transits the tail of Planet X (Nibiru, Orchus to NASA) in March, September of 2013 and March of 2014 when earthquakes, tsunamis, and tornadoes and volcanic eruptions and other Earth changes as the Poles shift will be used to protect Israel and defeat Israel's enemies. But do leave NYC in March, September of 2013 and March of 2014 and go to higher ground and take your loved ones with you.
55. 30 Sarah B.: Perhaps this might be helpful for you to know.
Rivkah   (01.18.13)
You asked about breast cancer treatments. Iodine solution topically is what Suzanne Sommers does for her breasts since she had breast cancer and survived and got it into remission. But I found something that is reducing the tumors on the bottom of my feet when all other things I tried did not and doctors will not remove the tumors surgically. Dr. Ohirra's Propolis Plus that has Brazilian green bee propolis and pro-biotics and some other ingredients. It is not a cure, but it is reducing the size of the tumors. After a month, the tumors are about half the size they were. Sometimes a reduction in the tumor or amelioration of the situation or a remission is all that can be hoped for, not a cure. I have been fighting cancer and tumors since 1985 with surgery and other helps.
