יחיאלה ,   פריס   (12.04.13)
סתם עיתונאי שחושב שיודעה הכל לפי דעתי הוא לו יודעה כלום סתם כותב מה שבא לו בניו יורק טימם
2. Khobar Towers
Tsha Than ,   Ecalpon, DW   (12.04.13)
While the Beirut attacks and the Buenos Aries were carried out by Iran, I though that the Khobar Towers were done by Bin Laden and Al Queda. Attribute blame to the correct group of terrorists, (or you're just like the Hexbohlla or Syria where they blame everything on Mossad)
3. Well, maybe just this time
Sasha ,   Bilbao, Spain   (12.04.13)
this crazy Friedman has some point. This rather a rarity with him.

5. Elementary, Friedman is always wrong!
Dr Watson ,   London England   (12.04.13)
6. Tiny (but pudgy)Tom ...
Gideon Reader   (12.04.13)
...continues on his purile path of never ending error with this fetid piece. Tiny Tom is frequently mixed up with the other low wattage scribbler Paul Krugman of the same worthless screed rag; NYT. I have no overwhelming affection for Bibi, but in the political who is the more sincere comparison game, he (Beebster) is leagues ahead of the poor U.S.'s incompetent serial BEE ESS meister, ZerObama.
7. Bombama has never been cool, but his teleprompter is

8. It's happened. Friedman has "jumped the shark".
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (12.04.13)
It would appear that Friedman has gone from the usual nonsense and "blame Israel" memes to full-on detachment from reality. No, there will be no Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 - not that said Prize has much credence these days. More likely, there will be an Iranian nuclear test, collapse of the so-called "peace talks" with the Palestinians (who admit to maintaining the charade only to get their prisoners back), and a rise in tensions, if not a full-on shooting war. And no, Obama is not "cool", as those who've experienced his thin-skin and private anger can attest. It's more "detachment", both from people outside his circle and from the world beyond his assumptions. And neither is Netanyahu "crazy". Unfortunately, he sometimes has to use a two by four to get people's attention to that which they'd rather ignore.
9. Tom Friedman
J. Messer ,   NYC   (12.04.13)
When was the last time he was right about the Middle East?
10. Friedman are you on crack?
David ,   Montreal, Canada   (12.04.13)
First, the peace noble prize lost all its credibilty when it was handed to Araffat, or to Obama before he took any decision. Second; I don't see how Obama fits in when he allowed Iran to acquire nuclear tech. Maybe you find that "cool". Third, the world should understand that Bibi is not crazy, he has a clear picture what the M E will become with Iran becoming a Nuke power. It is matter of survival. Got it?
11. #1 Translate
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.04.13)
From Google... "One. Freeman press journalist just thinking I knew everything I think he has know anything just write what comes to him in New York Timm Yechiel, Paris (12:04:13)"
12. Crisis...NATO will enter West Bank from Jordan, displace IDF
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.04.13)
13. The dog is barking... Who cares?
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (12.04.13)
14. IRAN
Barbara O'Donnell ,   lansdale   (12.04.13)
There is nothing cool about Obama. He has done a great job destroying America. Now he will make sure Israel follows the same path. Stop the ignorance.
15. There is no 6 month time limit
Orrin ,   US   (12.04.13)
to finalize US-Iran agreement. It is open ended, which means Iran will drag it on and Obama made to look an even bigger fool. But that accomplishes Obama/s pattern of 'kicking things down the road'. Is Tom Friedman ever right in his prognostications ?
16. Lefty nonsense
Sam ,   Canada   (12.04.13)
Far leftists disregard that Palestinians reject a Jewish majority Israel. They focus on kissing the butt of the enemy and hoping the enemy will throw them a bone.
17. #11, 12,not mine.Posted by an Obamacare deranged zombie fan.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.04.13)

Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.04.13)

23. Tom:they're coming to take you away,ha-ha, they're coming to
tom ,   tel aviv   (12.04.13)
take you away ho-ho he-he, to the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time, and you'll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats and they're coming to take you away ha ha....
24. Friedman's intelligence elixir
EZEKIAL HAIM ,   LONDON UK   (12.04.13)
Someone has given Friedman an elixir of intelligence to drink.I wonder how long the effect will last.The Netanyahu,Obama saga could be a planned good cop bad cop strategy to help deal with Iran.
25. Cool and crazy
(12.04.13)
Obama just closed a deal allowing the Ayatollah regime to get plutonium, the most poisonous element known and useful for making atomic bombs (remember the 40000 dead in Nagasaki?). Friedman says he is cool. Netanyahu is desperately trying to prevent the Ayatollahs getting nukes. Friedman says he is crazy.
26. FRIEDMAN WANTS STRANGELOVIAN NETANYAHU & OBAMA 'COOL'
JOHN ISH ISHMAEL ,   BRAMPTON   (12.04.13)
Why form of political cancer is Friedman pushing this time around? His dark impulses mirror that of his hero Netanyahu whom he whitewashes .
27. I lose it every time I hear "Nobel Peace Prize".
leo ,   usa   (12.04.13)
Nothing good has ever come out of this.
