1. Bush intentionally made Iran powerful!
Mark ,   USA   (12.07.06)
2. Bush is not helping democratic Lebanon
Mark ,   USA   (12.07.06)
He wants Iran to take over Iraq,Syria, and Lebanon so Israel can be weakened.
3. Oh my G-d, Olmert is so weak
Monk   (12.08.06)
Iran is overly confident because Bush is very weak and they know Mr. Olmert will not do a thing to stop them from launching a nuclear attack. So Israel might take a first nuclear strike from Iran. Olmert is looking to Bush to save him and Bush is looking to a weak Olmert to save Israel but Olmert is unwilling. Sadly, Bush wanted Olmert over Netanyahu and Israelis voted for this miserable prime minister. Why do we Jews choose such weak and miserable leaders?
4. Maybe if you're talking about Bush Sr.
Vitaliy   (12.08.06)
Bush Junior is not influential enough to set his own foreign policy at this point. I think it is time for Israel to start looking for a new "daddy" if it wants to stay intact. But maybe I am wrong.
5. there is something.
toni ,   sabme   (12.08.06)
the wolf in sheeps clothing?i guess its possible. things are getting more and more difficult to disyfer. the black and whites are turning gray.wwith that said the US can never leave Iraq no matter what the intent or the outcome . a democracy in iraq would change the middle east for ever. but that being said it will take a lot of sacrifice. and a fundimental change in islam wich they wont do..and if the us pulls out of iraq how does that make the US safer. or for that matter the world more peacefull.it dosent one bit.i have an idea the us pulls out of the middle east . . if the us is the problem and now there gone than every thing would be fine. exept that tiny nation of israel. that thorn in the side of islam. to play with islam is to defeat yourself. why is israel still around because they cantalk the same language as there islamic foes ,force ,force ,force.

6. Gates Baker Hamilton
Mac   (12.08.06)
Roosevelt Truman and Lincoln would be aghast . The report is written by people who clearly have no foresight . They do not realize that they contribute to the dangerous rise of anti western elements . This 'appeasement ' will not work. Have they forgotten ' MUNICH' 1938 ?
7. Iran
mac   (12.08.06)
I partly blame Israel for this turn of events. The enemy seizes on your weakness ( Olmert et al) and then realises that he can things with impunity , He can call for Israels destruction , without so much a pip from Israel. His supporters , Baker, Rice,Blair can now disenfranchise Israel , again with little comments from our leaders. Israel will rue the day , lots of talk , no action !
8. "An Iranian Victory"
MARCHOIS ,   COUTERNON FRANCE   (12.08.06)
The Baker-Hamilton report is no more than the description of the real situation in Iraq. Saying the truth is not a country's victory, it's the truth's victory. Difficult to be accepted in Israel? Bernard MARCHOIS
9. to mark 1# 2 you are talking nons
megi ,   london   (12.08.06)

10. Baker-Hamilton, I tot you both were already dead
John ,   NZ   (12.08.06)
11. THE IRAQ COWARD COMMISSION
ALAN ,   USA   (12.08.06)
THE IRAQ COWRD COMMISSION IS NOTHING BUT OVEAGED, NON MILITARY SCARDYCATS, MADE IN THE IMAGE OF JIMMY CARTER.
12. Israel is about to lose
John ,   London,UK   (12.08.06)
US incompitence has placed Israel is great danger. Iran knows US will not do anything about its nuclear aims. All expert now agree that Iran is only a year away from obtaining atomic weapons. Some even believe that Tehran has already secretly produced nucclear bombs like North Korea and will anytime soon test them. Israel now has no choice to either go to war with Iran or to make peace with the Ayatollahs. If it goes to war, then the outcome is clear to everyone. It will be no different than the one the whole world saw in July war with Hezbollah. Any war will make Iran more stronger then it already is. Hezbollah is itching for another fight with Israel. And any attack on Iran will give Hezbollah and Syria to launnch and all out war on Israel. This is no win situation for Olmert. Israeli should start packing their bags and move out. Ahmedinejad may decide to wipe Israel off the map after all.
13. Baker's client (saudi Arabia)
Michael   (12.08.06)

14. To # 10 - You Tot?
Mark   (12.08.06)
15. SUPERANNUATED AXIS OF COWARDS
p HENRY ,   longmont U S A   (12.08.06)
(THE IRAQ GEEZER GROUP'S DEEPLY REACTIONARY DITHERINGS)BAKER'S LAW FIRM REPRESENTS SAUDI ARABIAN GOVERNMENT,ANY COMPLICITY HERE?SURRENDER IS EASY,ASK BAKER AND THE REST OF THE APPEASERS AND PANDERERS ON THE (I SURRENDER DEAR PANEL).
16. #2 Bush I had sold out Lebanon to Syria during Gulf War 1
AK   (12.08.06)
Betrayal is nothing new to Bush/Baker team. For Syrian "support" for the war 'coalition' during the Gulf war, Syria received a free hand to do with Lebanon as they pleased. Look up how much Syria contributed to Gulf I to see how much Lebanon is worth as far as bush /Baker are concerned. Yes, it is true, Americans are deadly to their friends, while our enemies need not fear us..
17. to john 12 IN YOUR DREAMS
megi ,   london   (12.08.06)
you dont know what jews are made of. so many people tried this with us, but they are long gone and we are still here. i know its painful for a dirty gentile like you to hear this.
18. #14- No, I Ting , therefore I am
John ,   NZ   (12.08.06)
Are you trying to correct my English, I bet you are no better than mine.
19. Implications
Einat ,   Givataim   (12.09.06)
The Baker document, regardless of its real impct in politics, adds to other documents that imply that Israel IS the "source of all evil". I was shocked to read too that the new secretary of defence does not want to hit Iran because of what it might do, and that "no one" can guarantee that Iran will not nuke Israel. You can not possibly imagine my shock. I expected him to tell Iran that if mega terror will be unleashed following an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, the USA will erase Iran from the face of the earth, and that a nuclear retaliation will follow ANY attempt to erase Israel from the face of the earth. His statement regarding Israel transmits weakness and indecision. Yes, no one can "guarantee" that Iran will not nuke Israel, but he SHOULD have added that if Iran will commit such a crime the consequences for Iran will be ominous. The Iranian MAY interprete his statement as if saying something like "well, if you decide to nuke Israel, no one can stop it." In other words, giving them - implicitly - a green light to do just that. What on earth does this new secretary think? Again we hear the Chamberlain idea of "peace in our time"? If Iran scares him so badly now, what will happen if it will posses nuclear arms? Heavens, this man controls one of the strongest armies and awesome arsenal of weapons on earth, and he chickens out of a potential Iranian threat to use chemical/biological warfare? Man, this does not look or feel good.
20. NUCLEAR THREAT to U.S. ISRAEL and ALL HUMANITY
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (12.10.06)
Continual global jihad attacks are made on Israel in the Islamic world war to bring every nation under Islamic subjugation - a world where human rights and freedom are utterly destroyed. In Islam - Israel, Australia, the U.S. UK, Europe - ALL countries that are not Muslim are regarded as the House of War - to be conquered for Islam via demographics, diplomacy, deception and violence. Council on American-Islamic Relations: "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faiths, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth." - Omar Ahmad (CAIR co-founder). Iran, Syria, et al, daily, hourly, seek the total destruction of infidel America, Israel and all of Western civilization. The Iraq Study Group Baker Report response is surrender! Iran is dangerously close to achieving nuclear capability to execute their genocidal goal of destroying Israel and the U.S. Ahmadinejad: "WE WILL SOON EXPERIENCE A WORLD WITHOUT THE UNITED STATES AND ZIONISM" Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: "Undoubtedly, I say that this slogan and goal is achievable, and with the support and power of God, we will soon experience a world without the United States and Zionism and will breathe in the brilliant time of Islamic sovereignty over today's world." Iran's planned nuclear holocaust must be stopped! We are in the Third World War of global jihad and U.S. EU UN appeasers choose surrender doing nothing to stop Iran's planned nuclear holocaust! Terrorist enablers U.S. EU UN offer the Jewish ancestral homeland of militarily strategic Judea, Samaria and the Golan as a gift for a Global Islamic Terror State! Nasrallah: "DEATH TO AMERICA" Iran's terrorist army' Hezbollah Leader Nasrallah: "Let the entire world hear me. Our hostility to the Great Satan is absolute. … I conclude my speech with the slogan that will continue to reverberate on all occasions so that nobody will think that we have weakened. Regardless of how the world has changed after 11 September, Death to America will remain our reverberating and powerful slogan: Death to America." (Beirut Al-Manar Television, 9/27/02) It is left for tiny, embattled Israel alone to prevent world nuclear conflagration and to defend Israel and all of innocent humanity by refusing to give Jewish land for a Global Terror State. Column One: Jews Wake Up! Caroline Glick, THE JERUSALEM POST December 8, 2006 ...There are senior military sources in the US who have been warning the administration to take into consideration that the day that Iran attacks Israel with a nuclear bomb, 10 cities in the US and Europe are liable to also be attacked with nuclear weapons... Either the Iranian regime is toppled and its nuclear installations are destroyed or Israel will be annihilated. The Jews in the Diaspora must launch mass demonstrations and demand that their governments take real action to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. The citizens of the State of Israel must also take to the streets... All citizens must demand that Olmert, his ministers and the generals in the IDF General Staff make an immediate decision. They now hold the responsibility for acting against Iran. They must either act or resign and make way for others who will....But we must act and act immediately. www.jpost.com
