Chanalau, Tova ,   London, UK   (09.26.08)

6. Bush cannot be depended
Brod ,   USA   (09.26.08)

10. only weeks ago condi said America wont stop Israel
zionist forever   (09.26.08)
This is why Begin didnt tell the US about the plans to attack Saddams reactor in 1981 if he had the US would have said dont even think about it. The US was against taking a pre emptive strike in 1967. Also good to know that Bush has shown you cant belive a word the Americans say. Not long ago Condaliza Rice was saying America will not stand in Israels way if it chooses to take military action against Iran. Its short sighted thinking on Americas part not to carry out air strikes against Iran because its the only way to stop the nuclear program for good and Iranian missiles can allready reach parts of Europe which they are continuing to develop so its only a matter of time before mainland America can be hit by an Iranian nuclear missile. This isnt like the cold war because the mullahs belive in jihad if Allah want them to nuke America it doesnt matter if America retaliates with nukes because the muslims will all go to paradise with 72 virgins while the infidels do not. Iran is like Saddam develop everything in secret denying that he has any intent to develop nukes then one day they will hold a test detonation its the only way they can become a global power. Israel can delay the program but America can end it and at the same time put the conventional military back a decade which will limit any possible Iranian retalition. Rice & Gates are in charge now and they are against military force under any circumstances.
11. Well!! Now we know who the puppeteer is and
David ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (09.26.08)
who the puppet is. The purse strings keep getting tighter and tighter around the neck of Israel, don't they? Can we get an amen on,"we must divorce ourselves from this nightmare pulling us down to the abyss, that is the USA",
12. Why is it important for Israel to be the first to strike?
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (09.26.08)
Iran only needs one nuclear-tipped missile to get through and Tel Aviv, along with most of Israel’s west coast with 70% of her population, most of her industry and her international airport will be obliterated or eventually killed by radiation. I suspect that only then would Washington move and send body bags and food to the survivors - or something like Georgia. And if there will be one nuclear-tipped missile striking Israel, Iran will not hesitate to strike immediately also the rest of the world as can be understand by reading : http://xrl.us/orpxu
13. B1s, B2s, F18s and Carrier Based Aircraft
Dave Levy ,   Burbank, CAUSA   (09.26.08)
Lots of rumors always about Israel's intentions. So far, nothing going on, except that exercise (100 planes) over Greece. Neither Israel nor the US know what to do now. US is stalling, waiting for elections and new Pres, Vp and Defense Sec. (Gates doesn't want it-my choice, William Cohen or Joe Leiberman). No. Korea and Iran are forging ahead with nuke programs..Iran will test a device soon, then all hell breaks loose. Time is fast approaching folks. 100B1, B2s, F15s and F16s, a few F-18s or Navy Jets off the Persian Gulf will suffice. No need for troops. Hitler wasn't stopped in 33. I say, stop Ahmad in 2008. It's easy..if need be a few tactical nukes will do.
14. Bomb Iran...The Stock Market is going to crash tomorrow
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (09.26.08)
anyways. The Democrats and Republicans got into a contentious cat fight, and decided to do nothing like usual. The 700 billion bailout is not going to happen. The stock market is going to crash tomorrow morning. The United States is in the middle of a financial meltdown. Washington Mutual was seized tonight by the government. Bomb Iran already....the United States won't have enough money to be a super power in a few more months. Get out of American stocks while the getting is good. You'll regret it if you don't by tomorrow morning. Save some cash......get on the sidelines if you have an ounce of sense.
15. Ignore my talkback at your own peril.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (09.26.08)
Lehman went down just as I said it would. Why let your readers lose some more money? Warning signs are given fo a reason. I'm not an investor......so that ought o give you good reason to believe me.
16. Don't blame Bush if Israel is gutless
Larry ,   zefat Israel   (09.26.08)
Another B.s. article fooling no-one ...disinformation.
17. my way
Septimus ,   Rome   (09.26.08)
Contrary to the other poster I see mere in that news leake dout to the Guardian, a leftw ing British paper know for his alternative opinion, a smokescreen to hide the preperation of a deadly strike against the Shiite entity. The current econoical crisis pushes even mor etoward a war against Iran, because, as we know, war boost always the economies of the major countries. This seems perhaps cynical, but anyway it proves correct with all conflicts from WWI till now. So now we have two reason to strike the nuclear installation of the fake Tehran regime. US or Israel should Do it because they are mad, and can't be let in hold of nukes, for the stability of the middle east, to insure the oil flow from the Gulf states, to protect Israel, and.. To restart you economy .
18. OK, so do as many assults as it takes.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (09.26.08)
19. Bush the clown!
moshe ,   telaviv   (09.26.08)
Bush is a liar.
20. US cannot support
ben Ish   (09.26.08)
The US does not have any remaining assets available to support Israel in a military action. At least, not without starting a draft. Nearly all troops are deployed, and this is why there was no response in Georgia. So the Kremlin moves on Georgia to make a point, and to observe. Due to total US inaction, the movements in Latin America are accelerated, as well as a deal for a Syrian port. All this and STILL the US can do nothing, due to being stretched across too many fronts, for too long. So the Washington cannot support Israel whether they want to or not. GWB does not want weaknesses exposed, and leaving Israel to act completely alone, will do exactly that. Which is the only reason Israel does not go ahead. For now, at least everyone thinks we have a very strong and capable ally. In reality, the only asset the US has left is good 'ole Mr. 550kt MIRV, while Israel has ~150 devices in the 20-80kt range, and material for ~100 more. If Israel bombs Iran, then Moscow will bring the entire Black Sea Fleet to Tel Aviv, with dozens of Bulava missiles. US will have both nearby CSGs fighting for Hormuz and still unable to respond to Russia. This gives Putin a free hand from the Nile to the Caspian, while Medvedev heads up the North Sea ops. Put very simply, you just cannot reveal that the strongest player is weak, or all hell breaks loose. Besides now, Iran has at most 3kg of 4.9% U235, it will take them one year to come up with the rest for one device. Even with 4,000 more P2's it will take 18 month for a test and a fission weapon. That means though, in 18 months maximum definitely Tehran will have all it needs for the first fission weapon. If they are going for an implosion device (stupid on their part) then expect at least 3 more years development, possibly 10 years.
21. FEAR OF RETALIATION ?
chop-chop   (09.26.08)
By the mighty US of A ? It does prove that blackmail, terror do pay off handsomely, and the so-called "free world and/or democracies are not capqable of erradicating this "scourge" of humanity---this is the Muslim "cycle" PROTECTION MONEY : paid to terrorist for not striking "advanced countries" KIDNAPING :contrary to Govts (lies) denials,millions upon millions paid for release of victims from terrorists DRUGS : so supply will not dry up, $ billions are paid by wealthy society to terrorists. PROSTITUTION : To keep the "merchandise" coming, (the poor,the destitute are not the clients)the well heeled pay billions$ into the coffers of terrorists. PIRATES " this old industry is making a comeback, and Govts pay millions or more for the release of ships,crews,passengers.Guess into what coffers? OUR LEADERS & POLITICIANS " At the beginning of their careers,most are paupers. The miracle is that Most retire MILLIONAIRES. Is it by serving the people then themselves or is it the way around? The thugs, the terrorists are using an old but efficient American operation .Al Capone's genius in order to keep peace and running businesses -----PAY or ELSE
22. The Man From Del Monte Says NO
Larry ,   zefat israel   (09.26.08)
Anybody remember that old advert ?
23. # 2 Begin is Dead Unfortunately
Larry ,   zefat israel   (09.26.08)
If Menachem Begin were Israeli Prime Minister today,Iranian nuclear programme would have been destroyed and already forgotten about 6 months ago,We are left with Tzipi de doo dah.
24. Is the USA committed to Israel’s survival?
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (09.26.08)
The controlling powers of the USA are not committed to Israel’s well-being, let alone survival. Friends of Israel keep up a stream of reasons why the U.S. should be cognizant of the dangers that face Israel on 4 fronts, assuming that these hostile powers will suddenly come to their senses. The simple fact is that they already know about those dangers and couldn’t care less! The more they subvert Israel’s safety, the more gratitude they expect from the Muslim Arabs. It seems that the US want to get rid of its only faithful ally in the M-E, Israel, as explained at : http://xrl.us/i4sge
