2. Problem is
Obama ,   Washington DC   (09.16.07)
If US attacked Iran and the Iranians attack their Ayatollahs, where are the Ayatollahs going to hide? same caves and Osama and the Talibans?
3. Diplomacy was doomed from the start.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (09.16.07)
Actually, the start of this mess was the stupidity of Jimmy Carter in not supporting the Shah & then, of not taking decisive military action during the hostage crisis. As is usual with weak appeasement policies, the result is a bigger problem & a bigger war. Military action is now the only option & it was always the only option. The inner dynamics of totalitarian regimes that fail miserably at delivering economic, social, & political progress to their population lead them inevitably to aggression. This, coupled with an insane & irrational ideology, can only be stopped by force. Appeasement will now cause the death of many innocent Iranians but this is better than waiting until the mad mullahs cause even more death & destruction elsewhere. And the result would still be war. The count-down has begun.

WELL, MIGHTY MOOR , WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN?
6. All you need is another 9/11!
Shiloh ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (09.16.07)
Being world and American opinion is very low about the war in Iraq, the G-o-g-Bush administration needs another false flag or 9/11 in order to justify the upcoming attack. There is currently one marine strike group off of the coast of Lebanon (to help secure elections later this month, ofcourse!), the Enterprise battle group is in the gulf already with both the Nimitz andTruman strike groups scheduled to arrive around the beginning of Sukkot. (see http://www.debka.com/headline.php?hid=4583). For a war, they need 4 strike groups. They don't have to be all in the gulf, it's just a short flight from the coast of Lebanon, so all is there. All is lacking is a reason that the world and Americans can rally around Bush and the real head (Cheney). G-d forbid they pull another 9/11 to justify this one too, but odd's are it will happen. Bush and more so Cheney are convinced that the attack is needed. I am not saying it is not by anymeans. Hang on for the ride, it's going to be rough.
7. This article is a prove that America will not attack
Jam   (09.16.07)
it is another propaganda,what kind of country reveals their future plans? Iran will prevail.
8. Rider on White Horse
Marcel ,   Florida   (09.16.07)
President Bush is the rider on the white horse ,having conquered Afghanistan and Iraq and going out to conquer Iran. It will not go according to plan as all war do. This will unleash the red horse,WWIII,Global conflict , Russia and China will enter in and bring about the end of U.S global supremacy. Israel will have no other ally left but the Holy One of israel who will intervene magnificently. Revelation 6 Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, "Come and see." 2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer. Second Seal: Conflict on Earth 3 When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, "Come and see." 4 Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.
9. Iran war would end Israel
John ,   London,UK   (09.16.07)
You cannot be serious. US planning to bomb Iran while it is stuck in a swamp? You must be joking mate. Even if BUsh was not letting his soldiers be culled in Iraq every day, he would not be able to invade a nation like Iran. He cannot even take on Hezbollah, a bunch of Iranian backed Lebanese guerillas. Some European experts believe that US may be have better weapons than Iran, but it would still get its 'ass kicked' by Iranian forces, just like Israel got its kicked last year dispite having superior weapons. No doubt, that in any new war, Israel too would also be targeted by Iranians who want nothing better to have an excuse to wipe the Israeli state off the map. Iranian President has vowed to end Israel in any attack on Iran. Because he claims that it is Israel that would have pushed US to strike Iran.
10. Serious sanctions should work
Logic ,   Israel   (09.16.07)
Too bad the EU, Russia, and China won't allow the peaceful avenue to work. They are the real warmongers.
11. Iran Is Led By An Anti-Semite
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (09.16.07)
Iran is a bad combination: 1. It has the ability to inflict enormous amout of suffering. 2. It is fanatically Moslem, so it has the motivation to punish its definition of infidels. 3. Its leader is a madman. Pure and simple, he is crazy. 4. Its leader is an anti-Semite. The longer the West waits to rid the world of this danger, the less it will have to pay in collateral damage. The basic priniciple for everyone to always remember is that enemies of the Jews ALWAYS lose in the end.
12. love
jeremija ,   netanija   (09.16.07)
Madonna 'in love with Israel'
13. House of Cards
Robert ,   New Jersey, USA   (09.16.07)
Same rhetoric we heard before the Gulf War and Desert Storm: Might army of Iraq will kick US (Israel) butt. What happened. Saddam folded like a house of cards. You freedom-hating fools. There is more firepower in a single US aircraft carrier than the monkey president of Iran has in all his arsenals. This pretender and his mullah puppet string pullers won't know what hit them before their house of cards folds. The raid on the nuclear facility (oops, 'agricultural research facility'} in Syria is but a foretaste of what Iran will experience when its vaunted Russian missile defense goes up in just so much smoke before its nuclear bomb factories and Republican Guard bases do. All this could have been avoided but the stupid Eurocrats and war mongers further east prefer to look the other way, hoping stalemate - euphemistically called 'diplomacy' - will prevail until Iran became strong enough to succeed in making Israel disappear so they can continue on their Iranian-financed gravy trains. Just ask Schroeder, Chirak and de Villipin! The US as always, has to come in and clean house.
14. Here's another interesting development
Shiloh ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (09.16.07)
It has been reported also by the BBC and others about the transfer of 6 nukes from North Dakota to Lousiana (the base used to forward to Iraq). The problem is 5 or 6 nukes. The number has changed. Either way, someone with big authority has authorized the transfer. http://www.agoracosmopolitan.com/home/Frontpage/2007/09/07/01751.html When they attacked Iraq, everyone knew it was coming. So saying leaks etc prove it won't happen is non-sense. With satellite technology to track movements, it's not rocket science anymore.
15. ...no one outside a tight circle ...
oscar ,   buenos aires   (09.16.07)
and all the ynet readers.
16. Ahmadihnajad IS a Semite
Sandra ,   USA   (09.16.07)
the last time I checked. A Semite is not always Jewish. Study some more.
17.  DOES SYRIA PREFER TO IGNORE COLD TURKEY
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (09.16.07)
THE SABRE RATTLINGOF SYRIA; IS NOT NEW. BUT THE SABRE IS WELL ENSHEATHED IN ITS SCABBARD WHEN IT SHOULD BE DRAWN ON TO ITS NORTHERN NEIGHBOUR TURKEY TOO, WHEN IT IS REPORTED THAT IT ASSISTED IN THE PLANE INCURSION INTO SYRIAN TERRITORY.I WONDER WHY ITS U,N. AMBASSADOR HAS NOT SOUGHT TOCOMPLAIN, AS BOTH THESE COUNTRIES ARE ON VERY GOOD TERMS AND HAVE MUTUAL DEFENCE ARRANGEMENTS WITH EACH OTHER.IS IT FRIGHTENED TO STEP OUT OF LINE AND INFLAME A COUNTRY WITH WHICH IT MIGHT HAVE TO WAGE WAR ON A SECOND FRONT SHOULD IT SEEK THE WAR OPTION WITH ISRAEL
18. Bush's prophecy fantasy
Sandra ,   USA   (09.16.07)
He WANTS to be a lengendary figure in a two thousand year old prophecy. Revelations is a powerful motivator. For Cheney, it's about oil, for Bush - oil and prophecy. The Lord does not like it when humans try to force his hand.
19. #7 Jimmy Jam In 1st gulf war we said we would attack 1 way &
yet attacked another ,   way & won.!!!   (09.16.07)
20. #8 Notice it says "A crown was GIVEN HIM"? Who gave him the
crown? The devil? ,   Nottt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   (09.16.07)
21. #16 Iranians and arabs are real cousins
Ahmed ,   Egypt   (09.16.07)
There are no differences among these peoples,they are muslim,a lot of words on farsi come from arab,more than other lenguages,their people is like an arab,there are no real differences.So Ahmadinejad is a real semite also as any arab. The westerners always have tried to divide the middleeastern people with absurde borders and statements.One day we will unite under islamic terms.
22. #20 White Horse George
Marcel ,   Florida   (09.16.07)
I understand why you don't leave your name. The crown was given to him by the Supreme Court when they sorted out the contested election which Al Gore thought he won. Either way with a democrat or Republican,the agenda against Israel remains the same. The CFR devils run their globalist agenda out of the White House under a Clinton or a Bush. The King of Babylon now is Emperor Bush having ultimate control and military supremacy in Babylon NOW !!!!!
23. Buy Nintendo for Bush instead
(09.16.07)
24. John #9
X'   (09.16.07)
I think John you are somewhat mistaken in your premise. BY all military standards, Israel actually won Lebanon II miltarially. THe did it in clumsy fashion but they killed five times as many fighters as they lost, occupied territory which they only gave up to a UN force and basically caused irreperable damage to the Lebanese economy (which has not been repaired) while the Israeli damage form the rocket attacks has been fixed and the economy has continued to grow at a 5% rate/year. Furthermore, you seem to have forgotten that Israel has just demonstrated that the new weapons systems sold to Syria and Iran are totally ineffective and that with Israel's nuclear arsenal the Islamonazi regimes would be committing suicide by going to war. Israel would be badly hurt but Syria, Iran and Lebnon would be obliterated
25. Just like all antisemites,John aka Rustum # 9
jo ,   Shomron hills   (09.16.07)
iS aLWAYS MISTAKEN IN HIS PREMISES,BUT ALSO BLIND TO MANY FACTS.... A. He is an occupier of eurabia ( so he yells occupation anytime his mouth is not busy eating food bought with Govt dole. B. He thinks he is sooo clever,when iun fact his talkbacks reflect a serious defficincy in facts and substance,,,always the same muslim bs. Way to go John aka Rustum aka Mahmood.
26. #21 Oh you'll unite alright, but it won't be under islams
terms, it'll be ,   under Hashems.!!   (09.16.07)
27. to #7
R.Alkalai ,   USA   (09.16.07)
Jan, the reason why the US is allowing this information out is 3 fold- 1.) To prepare the American public for what will come 2.)The psych-out game to coax Iran's people to pressure their leaders 3.) To provide the final warning-so the world cannot turn around and accuse the US of taking such an extreme action that will cause annihilation without notice of intent. Iran will be destroyed. There is no way they can survive what is coming.
28. To #9 John
R.Alkalai ,   USA   (09.16.07)
John, the US will not get "its ass kicked by Iranian forces". They will will strike by air. Iran is totally vulnerable to air strikes. Iranian technology has been breached, their air force and Navy antiquated, and inferior in every regard. The US is now considering the possibility of 2,000 targets, opposed to 1,200. There are well over 100 nuclear armed, technologically superior destroyers, subs, and carriers that have the means to take down whatever can be launched at them- be it amphibious, land, or air, and for extended periods of time. The USS John C. Stennis, and its full compliment, alone, can literally destroy an entire country. And this is just the US Navy's deployment. Even if Iran got lucky enough to hit a nuclear armed and nuclear powered carrier, the amount of radiation alone that would carry onto land from the sea and the air, would be enough to quickly sicken, and kill off their population. Iran does not have the emergency medical infrastructure in place to even begin to deal with that. That is a fact. While it is true that Israel may be targeted, Israel's technology can take down what Iran will fire at them- if Iran even exists at that point, and that is highly doubtful. Iran just does not have the technology. All Iran has is a president who sealed their doom with his insanity and his big mouth. As for Hezbollah, Hamas and the others, once Iran and Syria are destroyed- and they will be, they will not be able to re-stock their weaponry and supplies. The supply routes in and out will be destroyed, as will the suppliers. Then, they too, will be destroyed.
29. Dogs of War
Jeff ,   Cherry Hill NJ USA   (09.16.07)
Attacking Iran plays into the prevailing arab/persian islamic posture of victimhood. They want to be struck to say "you see? Poor us." They are provocateurs. They are the tail that wags the dogs of war, not us. They deserve the fate they profess. Ghandi said "we must be what we wish to become." In their case, the Islamic radicals are. We must perservere and persuade them of their folly, or die.
30. War with Iran for America will be with mixed blessings.
Rivkah   (09.16.07)
If war is necessary, then it must come. America (part of the tribe of Joseph) is called the hammer of the whole earth in the Bible. But after the defeat of Persia and Media (Iran and Iraq) of Daniel chapter 8 which are the ram with two horns, the notable horn (America=Joseph=Manasseh) will break into four countries instead of becoming a North American Union that President Bush wants in trying to eliminate national borders with illegal immigration non-enforcement. Will the notable horn break from an collapsed economy brought about by Red China that threatened to do that in the book "Unrestricted Warfare"? I hope so because that would be preferrable to foreign invasion or nuclear attacks or civil war, as terrible as the collapse of the economy will be. I hope Americans keep a small twenty or thirty dollar tent from Walmart in the trunks of their cars along with water and non-perishable food and a few clothes since many people will lose their homes and have to live in tents for a time. For those who can afford an old VW bus, that would be better to live in for emergencies. 180,000 American families lost their homes in July of 2007 alone to defaults on the mortgage and the economy has not even collapsed, yet. Pets are being abandoned en masse because most landlords will not allow pets for rental units. America needs to repent of the offenses that will cause the loss of God's blessings after the war with Iran. Who knows? Maybe God will be merciful and war with Iran can be prevented.
