3 Nukes on those Cruise Missiles would do the job better so why waste all those Tomahawks? But Olmert's statements does give Iran some food for thought, and maybe pluck some of their wings. It's about time Israel is becoming pro-active, since the West is doing little or nothing concrete to stop the enrichment.

...to the point of creating the avenue indirectly for Iran to the point of industrial scale nuk . Look countries around the world are going for good and clean source of energy. didnt the morron at the UN know the intention of Iran. That Ahmedinejad has brought his nation to a distruction. The UN all this while been paid with fad salary at the expense of the world community. Iran must be STOP! No more all activities any further ! Bomb Iran or IRAN Surrender !

Olmert should give lessinterviews and never alow pictures to be taken. Unfortunately, he is a very bad looking man and not smart and can't speak in public (remember his visit to Russia where he made full of himself). He is making huge denage to Israel's image.

Ahmi and Hitler both promised to wipe out the Jews. No one took Hitler seriously, and when Churchill warned the world, he was ignored. Ahmi is now doing the same, and no one is taking him seriously either. OF COURSE missiles would work, and OF COURSE any one propose it will be villified. Never again ? Maybe, maybe not.

and Iran will nuke Israel. The Iranian puppet masters in Tehran must never be allowed to yield the power of the atom.

If you want to attack somebody/ something, you don't give away any warning at all. The fact that you tell them how you are going to do it, half the battle is lost.

1 Billion Moles would better undermine N-facilities by digging under their base from underearth but do you have any? Do you have 1000 cruise or Tomahawk ? No!

To John: Olmert is just playing with words, and should not be taken seriously. Does Israel have 1,000 cruise missiles I ask? On the other hand, hasn't he given Iran some food for thought? Look everyone thinks that Israel will use it's "American supplied" F15s, a blow beneath the belt to Israel, and intended that way by the I hate Israel crowd. But using Tomohawks or cruise missiles (Israel has some), changes the parameters. NO invasion needed, as warned by the peace now (war later) crowd. I think Olmert could have said it differently and picked his spot better. But he is known for his quick mouth. Remember his suggestion that Israel had nukes and the uproar. That was a mistake, or was it? Let the Iranians stay up at night. That's good for them and US (and Israel).

#7 is right..quit advertising intentions..either do it or don't,but quit talking about it..it sounds like a bluff and accomplishes nothing..Israel in the past just struck without warning..much more effective!

the excerpt seems to reflect sound policy. Whatever anybody thinks of Bush or Olmert - I think neither of them will leave office with Iran's nukes intact. One way or the other the problem will be addressed in the next year.

Israel has found its own Ahmadinejad.

and does israel have these cruise or tomhawk missiles...from where you have these? ...i think olmert is talking on behalf of the poor americans...funny

Bring it on morons.

an error.

1000 cruise missiles in 10 days works out to be just over 4 missiles every hour.The very idea seems ludicurous.Do you mean to say that Iran will receive missiles like tennis balls and keep a count till 1000 have been fired.What a way to put it?I am amzed that Iran is being still underestimated.Their reaction will put some cruise missiles back into stock wherever they are.Hope for something better,instead!!!!!

How many articles pertaining to the same subject have you read on Y-Net?These are just arbitrary moves to keep the issue alive,John.Olmert is not stupid to announce these types of suggestions.What he forgets is that Iran is not going to wait for 1000 cruise missiles to be exhausted to retaliate.That retaliation will change the statistics altogether.Be on board,John

news circulated in Europe says another version.

Not so sure, Mr President, remember what political leaders said in ... 1933-38.

Israel doesnt have tomohawk cruise missles but it does have its own home made popeye turbo cruise missle which can be launched from both its jets and submarines which could sit undetected in the harbour and fire of cruise missles so yes Israel has cruise missles The Syrian military is no match for the IDF it would be such a walkover that Iif it was filmed it would be just long enough to turn into a movie.

While I do want the Iranian nuclear threat, even by arms, don't expect Iran not to retaliate.

Olmert shut your trap you have no idea what the consicuences of such an action would be. Also if you cant destroy what is the point of setting it back. Their wont be an internal regime change if you attack iran the population will just support their gov no matter how stupid they are. Olmert and Bush constantly come up with bad ideas and idiots support them. Foolish are lead by the fools.

What does Olmert know about war? He went into Lebanon with no clear goals in mind, he ran out of Lebanon leaving over 100 Israeli soilders dead along with the loss of some civilian lives and billions of dollars in bills. The result was when it was over the IDF was the laughing stock of the region because there were no well thought out tactics it was all make it up as we go along. I am surprised he didnt give everybody in the IDF water pistols. Now Olmert is an expert on what it would take to destroy the Iranian neuclear program. War with Assad is better than a peace at the expense of the profitable and stategic Golan. Assad changes his mind on what he wants day to day and if Israel was going to go to war with Syria now is the best time for it because Syria is so weak right now. Aging MIGS with badly trained pilots v most modern F16 & F15 flown by the best pilots in the region. T 72 tanks v merkava 4 20 year old scuds v arrow and PAC 2 patriot missle defense systems and Syria itself has no missle defense systems. Any war against Syria would be a walk over this would not be the 6 day war more like the 6 hour war. Put the Syrian millitary in a position where it will take 10 years just to get back up to its current strengh

Guess what bro. Syria and Iran have a mutual defense pact aka you attack syria you go to war with iran and visa versa.
