31. POINT CLARIFIED.......#28
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (06.21.08)
Which means that the purpose of excercise was to convey a message to Iran.If that is the case I totally agree with you but fail to understand why it was New York Times that had to disclose after several weeks?There again,you might have an explanation for the delay.Nevertheless,some kind of reaction from Iran be also expected....dont you think so?Let us together watch the impending reaction.

Please let go now. For years you people have tried to wipe Israel off the map. Egypt, Syria, Jordon, Russia, Iraq and now Iran. Why you people like to be disappointed. Please forget about the 72 virgins.
33. I find no fault
Demetrios ,   Thessaloniki, Greece   (06.22.08)
in HAF having joint exercise with IAF. Iran has joint operations with Turkey in northern Iraq against the Kurds. [Turkey holds a casus belli against Greece if she expands her territorial waters up to 12 miles in the Aegean, as she is entitled to by international law.] So, what should Greece make of that? Having said that, it's Israel's business what she does next, Greece not included in any of that, of course. .
34.  what are they waiting for?
ODED   (06.22.08)
what would israel do in 1933 if it exsited/ the exsistential threat from the iranaziis is equal if not surpassing the threat to european jewery from the nazis in the 1930s.. had israel exsited at that time, it would have launched some form of preemptive attack, or engage in submersive activitie to topple the nazi regime. same here today-- the iranianazis must be toppled and annailated, ! any?harsh response" from teheran on israeli civivlain centers must be met with a nuclar assult on theirs!
35. If bombing nuclear sites bomb also oil refineries
Joe ,   Canada   (06.22.08)
Almost as important on the longer term as destroying the nuclear plants is to reduce the finances of the regime whose main source of revenues is the increasingly valuable crude oil. I say oil refineries but not oil fields or pipelines. By destroying only the refineries, it will leave thecountry able to produce & export its only source of funds so that the bombing will not antagonize all the oil importing countries against Israel. By forcing Iran to import all its refined oil products it will negate any price increase in crude oil . Iran I believe already imports 40% of its gasoline which could become an unbearable burden on the economy already suffering from a 25% inflation. This could bring about the demise of Ahmadinejad from the growing discontent of the impoverished populace which was promised better times from the oil windfall & has seen only growing misery.
36. #17 Thank you Sam
Daniel ,   Israel   (06.22.08)
for the advice, we from Israel also feel the same, however whenever war broke out; your people never spared us; the civilians, and Iran is preparing to destroy us all along with the nation! He is brave enough not to hide his feelings and thoughts about us. Short live Ahmadinijad. To arrest him or to kill him is not possible for us or the outside world. Being in Iran you must do it to save your people.
37. JOE,MAKE SURE YOU DONT MISS......#35
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (06.22.08)

Bob Mcgarrah ,   Hurst USA   (07.11.08)
This is not an Air Force from 40 years ago, they are set up so they don't miss. If the want too, they can fire a rocket right up there presidents A**.....
39. unfortunately...
tom ,   toronto, canada   (07.12.08)
these threats will not deter iran from continuing to enrich uranium. if anything, they will only encourage them to continue. why? because the iranian leadership believes in mahdaviat, which is the return of the mahdi to rule over the world, following a disastrous war that the faithful will lose. not only are they not afraid to lose, THEY ARE COUNTING ON IT!
40. I cannot understood
Luis ,   Portugal   (07.12.08)
I confess , I'm not living in that zone of the globe but I cannot understand the results of a Israeli possible attack to Iran . There are to many variables and bad possibilities to the entire world in this attack. In the past I would considerer Israel and US both study the pros and against regarding to the refered attack but now and after the Bush's gaffes and the bad results os Israeli attacks to Libanon I question the capability of these countrys to make a politican and correct analyse . I have no doubts that Irans have nuclear capacity is bad news but there are other ways to block this , how about make peace with Syria , respect the agreemends with Palestine and so on , a true approach with arabe neighboars . Imagine you are arabe people , if Israel attack what do you will feel ? it's all the same ,arabs are bad no mather what and Israel are allways good ... and it will increase more suicide attacks in Israel , you must count with this victims too. And the Jordans , are these people ever support their king ? or there is a possibility to have grouing groups supporting another politics , and if the strike ignite a transformation of Egiptian and Jordan opinion ?. Regarding Iran itself , does anyone with a perfect mind think Iran will not strike back ? will not send dozens ou hundreds od missiles against Israel ? make a blockade to the Ormus strait ? and does US have the capability to make a prolonged war with Iran ? US have thounsand os casualties in Iraque and Afeganistan , does it have the capability to envolve more divisions in Iran ? and the world economy with the crude clibing , does the China , Europe and other parts will forgive Israel to have started a economical crisis never seen before ? And how will react Paquistan and Iraq ? do they will give support to US ? does Iran give support to Taliban with bases and material to attack Iraq and other muslin countries .In Saudi Arabia there are a grouing support to Taliban ideals , after this strike the monarchy will have serial problems . Does UK have suficient capacity to disable a grouing tentatives of terrorism strikes in UK ? because it will increase and not just in UK but in Germany , in Spain and so on . A simple aerial strike can have a devastating efect on many locals in the world and it may be a disaster to world economy. The Russia and China will have a oportunitty to extend their power selling weapons , invading periferical and small countries or giving support to independent ideals and US will not have capabilities to oppose these because will have more soldiers envolved in Iraq, possibily in Iran , in Afeganistan , probably in Paquistan and it will be economically devastating this actions. Who will gain ? Russia , China and other countries who don't respect democracy because will be unleash to do whatever they want , I am remember Zimbabue for example. I cannot believe that Mr. Bush , in his mind will think to initialize a world destabilization just for confirming his believes of the end of the world with a huge war in the God's land but it have been told that Bush think like that and there is a group opinion in US telling Jesus will came to us when Israel and that region go to a big war , the so called armagedon . Let's calm down and don't let this people go to war . Other means are possible , in about 10 years we will not be so crude dependents , if Israel and US make peace and agreements with most of is arab partners and respect arab neighbors the arab opinion will reverse against Iran and in that time the Iranian regime will fall or a group of Arab nations will have conditions to make a strike to Iran ...but not now , not without a ONU opinion.... I believe , it will be devastating consequencies ..
