they r looking every excuse to get out Iraq , what u think they r ready 4 another war. well come to the New Middle East , were IsLiebarman , i have not hear 4 him lately
2. We are sorry Mr. Steinitz, but...
Sheikh yer Bu'Tay ,   you know   (12.16.06)
You are about 26 years too late for a US invasion of Iran. You and the world can thank Jimmy Carter for that. (Jimmy Carter was the absolute worst president the US ever had! Under Carter the US lost Iran as a peace partner. The "prime lending rate" skyrocketed up to 23%! Gold skyrocketed to an all time high! Carter passed "the windfall profits tax" that taxed the US "oil boom" into the "oil bust"! As a result, thousands of US business whent belly-up, hundreds of thousands of US citizens filed for bankurpcy.) Back when Iran was a US ally, and the Sha was in power, Iranian students studied nuclear engineering at many US universities. Now that the party of Jimmy Carter is coming back into power, just who is going to lead this "invasion" of Iran? John Kerry? Ted Kennedy? Who? Maybe Carter, himself? LOL!
3. And God gave Steinitz the mantle of a Prophet
Michael ,   Haifa   (12.16.06)
Steinitz, in his former career of a "philosopher" wrote a book proving, by pure logic, that God exists. As a reward, he clearly believes (by the same logic, I guess) that he has the divine right to prophesy
4. US attacking Iran
BJ ,   Basel, switzerland   (12.16.06)
WISHFUL THINKING !!!
5. I Wish I Could Believe Him
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (12.16.06)
I just wouldn't be so sure. In the meantime, such sentiments should not stop us from making plans of our own. There is NO EXCUSE for our inaction. If America attacks Iran, fine. If not, we must be prepared to go it alone. But he's right about military action in Gaza. Clean the place out - get rid of Fatah & Hamas. Send Mr Abbas into exile along with the Fatah thieves. As for Hamas, - they want to be martyrs anyway. You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs & you can never have peace without drastic action.
6. Israel was left alone and must act accordingly to reality.

7. TO 1 BUSH will not accept the baker-hamilton report
dovdevan ,   ashdod , israel   (12.16.06)
this is almost sure on the contrary he will send more troops to iraq and will face the iranian threat !! the globol jihadist thought they won the battle but this is only the beginning !!
8. THIS GUY IS RETARDED - GET HIM A HOCKEY HELMET
andrew ,   miami,fl   (12.16.06)
9. Only in Bush's term
John ,   U.S.A.   (12.16.06)
The only way the U.S. will attack Iran is if Bush is president. No other president is dumb enough to go against the will of the American people in order to satisfy his jewish lobby.
10. they have no other choice
Jimmy ,   USA   (12.16.06)
these iranians are out of countorl for world stability.
11. save the world? the world hates us and wants us dead
aaron ,   ra'anana   (12.16.06)
"the world" has no interest in preventing a nuclear Iran and "the world" has no interest in preventing a second holocaust, the nuclear annihilation of Israel. we are gonna have to take out Iran ourselves

Malcolm Dash ,   Zichron Yaacov   (12.16.06)
HOPE YOU ARE CORRECT IN YOUR APPRAISAL
13. Attack?
Kyle Seestrouble ,   U.S.A.   (12.16.06)
There are two choices The U.S or Isreal. Most people in the U.S care more about Britney, Madonna, and Paris Hilton, than Iran with nukes. Most Americans couldn't even find Iran on a globe .It's going to take another attack larger than 9/11 in the U.S. for the American people to forget the PC crap and get a spine! Sorry Isreal, It's up to you! If not, maybe we can all share a prayer rug together?
14. Steinitz may or may not be right about US attacking Iran.
Uzi ,   Haifa   (12.16.06)
He is absolutely right about the Palestinean Arabs: Fatah = Hamas = Jihad = Amalek
15. Let's see...most American Jews voted in a
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (12.16.06)
Democratic congress to tie the presidents hands. Now the USA is expected to take out Iran? With Nancy Pilosi's help? As far as I'm concerned...being the other half of the election scene....the only decent president, with enough balls to confront these terrorist clowns, has been Bush. You can all learn Farsi....if you really believe preemptive strikes aren't appropriate. I'm ashamed of the Democratic Party, and their death peddling every night on the major news media. Too many troops have died----boo---hoo. A million babies die every year from their baby killing lobby......and no one utters a peep! Where's George Clooney? He'll save the day. And who voted in the News Media....to tell us how to think? I don't recall voting in NBC, CBS, or ABC to tell us we have lost a war every night. Who the hell to these pompous pricks think they are...the president? They do try their best to undermine him every night of the week. There's telling the news.....making the news up.....and straight out manipulation of stories to sway public opinion. They manipulate to sway public opinion. Who cares if it is true or not. Actually though.....I hope Bush does all of us a favor and blows up all of Iran's installations. Let's lose 5000 thousand troops.........rather than waiting for another World War and losing several million troops. Simple Mathematics......something the pascifists never understand. Imagine how stupid Lincoln and Roosevelt must be in these geniouses minds? Each one lost half a million men. You better start rewriting the history books. Those numbers mean we definitely lost those wars.....and that they were terrible stupid presidents. Lets keep the standards the same for all presidents.
16. Wont happen. It's all up to Israel now.

Oleg ,   USA   (12.17.06)
You are the most dumb person in the world. You do not understand anything. How in the whole world are you able to write? The majority people in our country understand what danger Iran posseses and we sure should get rid of this danger. Hopefully our administration will do the right thing despite idiots like you.
18. USA attacking Iran's nuclear capabilities
Steve J. ,   Willow, Alaska USA   (12.17.06)
From Mr. Steintz's lips to the Lord's ears, I pray . Iran's "leaders" are insane murdering animals. When they get operational nukes, they WILL use them. Whatever it takes, it takes. The time is NOW.
19. We have to get over relying on the US. Israel stands alone.
LEE ,   NY, USA   (12.17.06)
20. American soldiers dying to save Israel?
RLZ ,   Columbia, USA   (12.17.06)
Who's policy is it that American boys and girls should sacrifice their lives for Israel. Shouldn't Israel look to their Saviour to save them, and not other people's children? I have heard for years Jewish men tell me how intelligently superior they believe they are than others, ok let's see it.
21. Enough is enough
Randi ,   iowa. USA   (12.17.06)
Haven't enough Americans shed their lives for this nation. If all American jews feel the need to support Israel, then fine, join the IDF. I am sure they will be not turned down. But don't expect others are willing to die for a nation that has continuously spied on us while taking billions in american aid over the last 60 years,
22. US will attack and I ran
matt ,   Jacksonville, Fl usa   (12.17.06)

24. INSHALLAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Niki   (12.17.06)
25. 19 please.
(12.17.06)
USA doesnt wnat or need any more wars. go it alone
26. relax people
Todd B. ,   Redlands, Ca.   (12.17.06)
so lets pretend Iran has a nuke,and they are able to deliver it to Israel on a warhead tipped missile (which isnt easy)....i can tell you the minute that missile leaves the ground the USA will annhialate Iran in about 10 seconds.you think we dont have satelittes watching their every move?.....if Iran even twitches the wrong way we will turn that country into a glass parking lot...you take that to the bank
27. U.S. attack Iran?
Ricardo ,   United States of Mex   (12.17.06)
The (dis)United States attack Iran? the U.S. is too busy attacking itself to attack anybody else. Which comes first: the whimper or the bang?
28. Attn; Mossad: False flag needed !
'Sheikh-n-Bake' ,   Kahl-lee-forn-ya   (12.17.06)
Hellooo ! First Israel will need to cook up another of its world-renown delicious False Flag pizza pies (like 'The New Pearl Harbor' on 9/11) in which the Ay-rabs, or this the "eye-Raineans," will appear to attack US Naval vessels in the PERSiAN Golf (But didn't those Exocets have Hebrew characters and smiley faces painted on the nose cones??? Inquiring minds want to know) Hello Moe Sodd Your nation needs you now... launch against USS Lincoln or Reagan and announce your deed in Farsi. Then let the good times ROLL, I'm Bibi ! I'm a NUTTIN' Yahoo !
29. Attacking Iran
rc ,   Colorado, USA   (12.17.06)
While many Americans support Israel and abhor the antics and aspirations of the lunatic leadership in Iran, I don't think America has the political will anymore to be leader or defender of the free world. Many don't even know who the real enemy is in the current conflict. The war is not in Iraq; that's just one front in a much larger clash of civilizations.
30. RE:Kyle,No.13
chris ,   USA   (12.17.06)
Kyle, please don't underestimate most Americans. Maybe 12 year old girls think about pop stars but most people I know are quite a bit better informed about the mid-east than the MSM and most of our politicians and the real idiots at the University level. There are maps of the ME in my kitchen and I know the real history of Israel well enough to stun the progressive airheads of the dhimmicratic party. And I pale beside many of the folks I know. But I am a Republican Christian and so are most of my acquiantances. as for Iran- I thought that was one of the reasons we went to Iraq. But now the the Dems are in power I think hitting Iran's hardened nuclear facilities is much less likely even if we have the info to do it. Plus, we are becoming bankrupt but nobody will admit it. We could just let it be known that a single terror attack and we take out Mecca plus a few other choice locations. G-d has already said what he would do when Persia and her cohorts attempt their "last days " attack on Israel. G-d has not abandoned His covenant with Israel though much of Israel is away from Him.
