1. OH,YAH? THE BALLISTIC MISSILES
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (03.17.09)
Have been there for long.So,we want to attack Iran from remote distance?Not a bad idea.So no need to worry about the S-300 defence missiles,do we? So, when do these missiles depart Israel?
2. Time to say, "stop nuclear work, or no more oil fields".
martin knopfman ,   tel aviv   (03.17.09)
Israel can easily destroy Iran's oil fields which would be the end of what little wealth Iran has left. Time to play hardball and Israel should tell Iran, "stop work on your nuclear weapons, or no more oil fields". The oil producing countries would all be delighted. Martin
3. WHAT A RUBBISH ARTICLE
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (03.17.09)
This is a repeat performance by our leadership, like it did before the Shoah. They will say and print all kinds off rubbish to lull us to sleep and for us to ignore what is really going on, meanwhile our enemies march on with their planned destruction off our people. There is no need to talk and to analyze, only action and deeds will sustain and help us. This head in the sand attitude might work for the younger generation, but not for us, who have witnessed the evil in man. Wake up and stop being so naive, you self-proclaimed liberal media elitists.
4. BUT THEY HAD ALREADY SAID THAT......#2
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (03.17.09)
Almost 3 years back.Don't you remember at all?Pity.
5. To: David at No. 3
Sarah ,   New York City, USA   (03.17.09)
This isn't an Israeli military representative talking, David. The report was issued by a United States military think tank. It made the major wire services in the United States. The purpose is to give Iran a strong caution (the U.S. and Iran do not have diplomatic relations) that Israel doesn't need anyone's airspace to successfully take out Iran's nuclear ambitions. If Iran is smart, they are paying attention, but those crazy mullahs aren't exactly known for their intellect, so ....
6. With nuclear warhead???
Smith   (03.17.09)
7. stupid idea
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (03.17.09)
Apparently someone in Washington wants Israel to save Saudi Arabia and the Arab dictatorships from Persian domination so they stir up trouble by writing science fiction. Let us hope that Israeli leadership is not so stupid to attack Iran.
8. mahmood
mah-bad-mood ,   idf   (03.17.09)
no matter how you try to turn it, in the end the idf will have a surprise that nobody would even think of. a surprise exactly like the iraki reactor raid, but more adapted to our time (actually much ahead of our time) and to the new circumstances. after "it" happens, i will be here watching out for your comment, trying to defend your worthless stance. and let me remind you, that you're trying to teach the smartest and most talented (by fact) people on this planet. i gotta go buy lots of popcorn, this is gonna be fun to watch! cheers!

zionist forever   (03.18.09)
Iran doesn't have the S-300. They want to buy it but thanks to Israeli diplomatic efforts Russia hasn't made any final decisions yet so the S-300 won't be defending Iranian skies. What they do have is the TOR M1 a less advanced system and conveniently the same system protecting the Syrian nuclear facility Israel destroyed. So Israeli pilots know how to get around Irans most advanced air defenses. Israel can attack from air and sea. Jericho missiles F15I & F16I ( versions of these jets spesificly deisgned for Israel which have long range fuel tanks ) Dolphin submarines with the capability to launch the Israeli designed cruise missiles.

13. The reason Isreal hasn't do it yet is because
Asher ,   NY,USA   (03.18.09)
Israel can do it at any time it decides to make it happen.......It's only giving the world all the opportunity to come clean out of it.
14. Whether by ballistic missiles or by plaines :
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (03.18.09)
Whether by ballistic missiles or by plaines : A preventive strike against a declared genocidal Iran should not be postpones. A nuclear Iran has become an increasingly contentious issue as Ahmadinejad will not have any moral consideration keeping him from using the atomic bomb. A preventive strike against a declared genocidal Iran, will be a severe blow to world terrorism and will reduce significantly our problems with the terrorist state of Syria, the Hizbullah and Hamas. It will also remove the threat of a nuclear missile attack on Europe, Russia, China and India. The population in the West, as well as in the other peace loving countries will feel safer again.

15. BY NOW YOU WILL HAVE.....................#8
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (03.18.09)
Finished your popcorn as well.All said and done.I have no clue of what I am trying to defend,sincerely.What I do know,however,is that we have been talking about options and ways for the last 4 years.When will you finish eating your popcorns?
16. LIST OF INVENTORY..........................#9
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (03.18.09)
Have been available for years now,mate.Don't you worry,they will take your advise in the near future,surely.
17. To: Saher at No. 10
Sarah ,   New York City, USA   (03.18.09)
No, Saher, the situation is a little different with Iran. First of all, there are only a handful of Jews left in Syria; I don't know if any are left in Iraq. Iran, on the other hand, has 25,000 Jews. Given the primitive and barbaric nature of Iran's leadership and dominant Moslem population, there is no doubt in anyone's mind that the Jewish community in Iran would be slaughtered without quarter. The Jews in Iran are forbidden to leave -- they are essentially hostages. Of course, the logical thing would be for Israel to slam Iran hard, and then make sure that those stupid mullahs understand that if anything bad happens to any Jew anywhere in Iran, Iran will be destroyed. Oh, hell, Israel might destroy Iran anyway (and really, think about it: who would miss Iran? Hamas? Hizbollah? No great loss there, either). Israel doesn't "blah, blah" Saher. If it is "blah, blah" you want, you need look no further than Ahmadinejad.
18. Israeli authorities would be crazy to premise
AY_Lamb ,   USA   (03.19.09)
any plans of information coming out of Washington or the USA in general. At this moment in time America could be accurately viewed (thanks to 8 years of evangelical control) as a kind of wacky neighbor that you like and would borrow a cup of sugar from but, you wouldn't go on Holiday and ask them to watch your house.
19. How to Disable Iran with no Reprisals
Max ,   Los Angeles   (11.01.11)
EMP Iran and they could make no reprisals. Follow the EMP attack with Ballistic missiles to physically destroy Nuclear sites. Follow missile attack with precision bombing to take out all Military assets. This is a humane strategy that avoids loss of life and sets up the Mullahs for regime change, once they are deprived of their military protection.
