1. Mubarak's Threats
Pal Pal ,   The M E   (04.29.09)
Mubarak vs Iran.................I'd like to see that.......................................when I stop laughing of course!
2. Reasonable Stance
Christy ,   Boston, US   (04.29.09)
Mubarak places Egypt's security & safety above making friends with terrorists. Very reasonable stance to take, considering the various players and statements they have made about Egypt's government.
3. Finally, Egypt fights terror.
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (04.29.09)
I never thought I'll be complementing Mubarak, but in this case credit must be given when credit is due. Mubarak proves that Nasrallah's "superstar" status in the Middle East does not impress him one bit, he sees through all the hype and puts this rat in its right place. Kudos to Mubarak and Egyptian people for making a bold statement in the fight against terror, I never thought the Egyptians were really determined in their will to fight terror and strive for peace between Israel and its neighbors, until now. I hope I'm not too naive and this is really it.
4. First sign of Alzemier
Sami ,   Canada   (04.29.09)
This kind of threat ar the first sign of Alzemier.Probably Moubark hasn't had the usual extended after lunch nap.
5. so you realize, you fool
(04.29.09)
that the egyptian army is the largest of arab world in the region? and that that army has the best and most sophisticated military equipment around except for israel. do you really think iran stands a chance if together, israel, egypt and saudi arabia attacked iran???? israel is the most powerful army in conventional wars and always wins them. iran has an army, albeit very ineffective and mostly prepared to squash anti mullahs factions inside the country. iranian army can;t stand a chance against the region's superpowers. do you really think that iranian lack of parts, radars that are exposed to iaf strikes, lack of a real effectively trained airforce pilots can stand a chance to israeli aces? israel downed 83 migs that were flown by RUSSIAN PIULOTS in the 73 war, not by arab pilots. if israel can down a russian pilot, what ,makes you believe that an iranian one is any competition???? the iranian army and airforce lacks appropriate experience as well as having outdated equipment and military parts to sustain a war against these three superpowers in the region. it would be days, not weeks for them to fold and raise a white flag. if they don't, we can always oblige them by totalling the score. iran is a paper tiger and this is why they threaten continuosly. they bark because they know they have no bite. no country needs to hire 30,000 suicide martyrs as iran claims to do to fight against israel if it really possesed the military might they claim to possess. only a fool would enter a war with israel . yes, they can send deadly missiles, but their radar against the iaf has been proven to be jammed and irrelevant which makes their ability to protect all their missiles launchers ineffective to boot. apart from that, should iran be difficult and threaten peace in the region and try to blackmail the community around it, let me assure you that saudi arabia WILL LET ISRAELI IAF FLY THROUGH ITS TERRITORY AND STRAIGHT TO IRAN, WHICH, BY THE WAY, WILL SOLVE THE DISTANCE PROBLEM FOR ISRAEL AND PRESENT NO LOGISTIC DIFFICULTIES TO ERADICATE THE MISSILE SITES AS WELL AS BUSHER AND MOST MILITARY, COMMUNICATION INSTALLATION AND MILITARY BASES. then, the ultimate coup de gras would be the iaf bombing of all the hard water and nuclear reactors they can. israel knows this, iran knows this, egypt knows this and saudi arabia knows this. what you will see now is a forceful alliance between most gulf states, including saudi arabia and including jordan, egypt and possibly the usa if israel is attacked. iran will be doomed. only a fanatic muslims that still believes in the al salaadin conquests will assume otherwise. vivienne beirut, lebanon

lydia ,   Brisbane   (04.30.09)

8. Iranians bark.
Tshvekes Klapper ,   Baltimore   (04.30.09)
I deal with Iranians occasioanaly in USA and see that their bark is always alot bigger than their bite. I always put them in their place. Their attitude is always crude and abrasive though..

10. to the great military analyst Vivienne Lebanon
Sami ,   canada   (04.30.09)
take it easy and have a breath before you blow up your self.Before jumping to Iran try to deal first with Hizbollah if you can, let your imaginary forceful alliance wan the incoming election in Lebanon first . The list is long , 3 cells in one month get caught ,but your tour is coming ,cannot wait.
11. iran with all bul....
Michelle Wayne ,   Sydney Australia   (04.30.09)

jared ,   orlando   (04.30.09)
A few million more like you and we may not only stabilized the region but secure the peace process as well
13. Hey Egypt, those Gaza tunnels are a two way street
USA   (04.30.09)
Better make sure Hamas or Iran doesn't smuggle something into Egypt instead of out of Egypt.
14. vivienne @ 5;
leo ,   USA   (04.30.09)
"that were flown by RUSSIAN PILOTS in the 73 war" Not that I doubt the possibility but I'd appreciate reliable source, please.
15. HOSNI MUBARAK IS IN FACT.................
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (04.30.09)
Addressing his threats more to his own people rather than Hizbullah and Iran.If you notice his words they are not meant for any outsiders.The response in this case will obviously come from the Egyptian people sooner or later.
16. #15 that's cause Hizb tries to mess
ghostq   (04.30.09)
in the internal afairs of Egypt, something syria never did, Hizb is a terror group, based in syria(UN definition), whould you let a terror group to your country? I didn't think so.
17. To 14#
Daniel ,   Israel   (04.30.09)
Dont you know that Russia sent pilots to Egypt? A few corrections though: 1)The operations' name was "Grenade 20" it took place on 30/7/70. 2)The actual number is 5 pilots not 83, like she said. Sorry I couldnt find a source in english. You ask why? The cold war games between US and Russia. Each helped his ally.
18. Mobarak the dictator
Jamal Baydar ,   Cairo Egypt   (04.30.09)
We just ask you to get out.,to shut up and to get the hell out of our country.
19. Mubarak's nightmare scenario for dummies
usa   (04.30.09)
1. Hizbullah infiltrates Egypt and sets up terrorist infrastructure. 2. Hizbullah already has support of Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, which it supplies with money and weapons from Iran. 3. Muslim Brotherhood with help of Hamas and Hizbullah stages successful coup to oust Mubarak 4. Peace Treaty with Israel is immediately broken when Israel gains intelligence about imminent attacks by Hizbullah in Egypt using Gaza as a staging ground. Rocket attacks rain down on Israel from Lebanon and Gaza. 5. Israel sends in IDF to assassinate Hizbullah operatives and take out weapons caches, killing hundreds of Egyptians who are being exploited as human shields. 6. Lather, rinse, repeat.
20. Daniel @ 17; Thank you for the info.
leo ,   USA   (04.30.09)
21. READ ALL ABOUT IT...EGYPTIAN COMANDOS IN LEBANON
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (05.02.09)
