1. Another "Sterm" Warning, Just Like Those To N Korea
David H ,   Marietta USA   (07.26.09)
Israel, it is in your hands. Obama won't save you, and Hillary is a court eunuch.
2. That's nice and all ... but we are in first strike range...
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (07.26.09)
and one hit on us and its all over. So we will be pardoned if we need a preemptive strike to survive. Iran is playing with fire since we can vaporize Isfahan and Natantz. God forbid they should push us to that point. Obama and Clinton really don't have much time for diplomacy not to work.
3. Talking with Fanatics is useless
Brod ,   USA   (07.26.09)
Talking will only give ample time for the Islamist-Jihadist Fanatics in Iran to complete their nukes. Devoid of rationality, these fanatics are hellbent on their pathway of destruction. They are hellbent on their nukes. Talking with the Fanatics is useless. They are not deterred or persuaded by the stick and carrot.
4. Iran did not have the right, till 90 day NPT notice ends
observer   (07.26.09)
5. More talk with the Gangters, a waste
AlbertoGA ,   St. George, USA   (07.26.09)
Of time, why ? The Iranians have only one Agenda... The destruction of Israel. Obama and the never ending pupet Hillary will do nothing good. At the end Israel alone will have to take action. Any more talk with the Mullah is impossible and a total waste of time.
6. Hillary Clinton Is An Israel-Hating Moron
MK ,   Philadelphia USA   (07.26.09)
Anyone who trusts Shrillary is as big a moron as she is. The US, under the traitorous junta in Washington, is not going to do anything to stop Iran from getting nukes and won't put any pressure on Iran after. Israel trusts these Washington slimeballs at her own peril. Of course, it was long known that Shrillary was anti-Israel, though many Israelis seemed to have problems figuring this out. Israel is alone, now.
7. YES,ISRAEL SHOULD HAVE PATIENCE
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (07.26.09)
Whilst Iran should continue to bear Israel's 200 plus Nuclear bombs and continued repressive policies in the Middle East.What a simple solution to complex problems!!!
8. clinton talk
alexi   (07.26.09)
Hillary's campaign was in big debt, a sign that she cannot manage a campaign. Second, she cannot back up her threats. She says big powers united in not wanting iran to have nuclear weapons. She is dead wrong. Russia is in favour of it and has supplied the reactor and missiles.Lastly she said US would provide an umbrella. Forget it. US can provide supplies and that's it. Clinton is like eshmud olmert, all talk, no action and no credibility.
9. More Clinton craps
Frank ,   Canada   (07.26.09)
Clinton has not a chance to detter Iran from being nuclear. The clock is ticking and she is not doing anything.
10. Clintons' stupidity
DT ,   TA Israel   (07.26.09)
She gets dumber by the minute. The US would not defend us and why should they. Patience has nothing to do with it -weakness has everything to do with it which is what the US is and Israel must not be no matter what the cost
11. Appeasement has never worked with totalitarian regimes.
Aviva Yaari ,   Kibbutz Hazore'a   (07.26.09)
12. "better"? for whom?
tom ,   toronto, canada   (07.26.09)
it was better for george bush sr. to have scuds fall on tel aviv than to upset his arab allies. and letting hezbollah bomb haifa was "acceptable" to george bush jr. the americans talk and talk, but in the end they only look out for themselves. the truth is, israel can only rely on its own forces to protect itself.
13. TALKBACK NUMBER 7.
ORAO STRANKA. ,   TSARIGRAD U SRBIA.   (07.26.09)
IRAN HAS PROMISED TO WIPE ISRAEL FROM THE MAP, SO THEY BEAR NO RESPONSIBILITY. THEY ARE AS FREE IN THEIR SICKENING MENTAL STATUS AS I THINK OF YOU. Orao.
14. It's a SET UP
Jack ,   Miami   (07.26.09)
The U.S. government and Iran will keep stalling (sorry, I mean negotiating) until Iran has nuclear weapons and then the U.S. will give Israel an ultimatum. Either Israel gives the Palestinians the eastern part of Jerusalem or the U.S. will not allow Israel to fly over Iraqi airspace to attack Iran's nuclear facilities. Don't fully trust the Barack HUSSEIN Obama administration.
15. Thank G-D This Awful Woman (Hillary)
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (07.26.09)
Is not the President of the U.S. Obama the impostor is bad enough,Hillary would be even worse.
16. No 7, you cannot bring yourself to see
dj   (07.26.09)
the Ayatollah State's lethal breathing, thinking and policies because you are too busy licking them where the sun doesn't shine. It took Israel 200 nukes never to threaten anyone and any state in the world but it takes the Iranians only 3000 or more centrifugues to threaten Israel with destruction and wiping out. Let them achieve their first nuke? NEVER ! With or without other states' blessing, we are going to stop that. With or without ayatollists like you, Iran will NOT have nuclear bombs. Period.
17. IS HILLARY CLINTON THE MOST
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (07.26.09)
Arrogant, un-humble,big headed,self-righteous person on the planet?? most probably.
18. "I HOPE FOR WOMAN PRESIDENT IN
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (07.26.09)
MY LIFETIME" said Hillary Clinton.She is too dishonest ,cowardly and disingenious to admit that said woman should be her.G-D FORBID.
19. All she cares about is her oil stocks
Mike ,   USA   (07.26.09)
Just like the rest of the State Dept.
20. THE CHALLENGE WILL BE MET.....#16
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (07.26.09)
Irrespective of what you write.Should Israel become adventorous resolute,devastating and appropriate retaliation will follow without you having a chance of writing anything further.You could not do anything upto now, nor are you capable to sustain any retaliation from Iran.Please be very sure about that.By the way,I am not an Ayatollah for your information.I read, I understand and apply logic to whatever I say.These qualities are absent from you talk-back.Cool down a little!!
21. 1-20: Your pursuit is futile
Ypip ,   Canada   (07.26.09)
22. ALL HILLARY REALLY NEEDS
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (07.26.09)
Is a whip and thigh-length leather boots...
23. PLEASE BE A PATIENT PATIENT
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (07.26.09)
Says Doctor Hillary.
24. Mahmood #20: Does your empty bluster make you feel powerful?
Bengantha   (07.26.09)
You condescend to an enemy far stronger than you. Your empty bluster must make you feel very powerful indeed. Iran couldn't "devastate" Iraq in a war that lasted EIGHT YEARS, and Iraq is FAR less powerful than Israel. These days, Iran is falling apart at the seams, and its regime is weaker and more desperate than ever. Iranians are in no position to brandish the sword and expect their militarily superior enemies to tremble. BTW, if Iran launches a truly "devastating" attack on Israel, especially a nuclear attack, Iran itself will have plenty of trouble surviving the retaliation. "Please be very sure about that."
25. RUBBISH TALKS.................#24
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (07.27.09)
Much to your dissappointment what Israel felt was that probably Iran will see the regime crumbling.Now that it has not happened, various threatening measures are being taken to show off how powerful they are.Nothing worked on that front as well.Keep wishing but there is nothing anyone will do.Middle East will see power balancing and no more of hegemony.Be on board.These are not empty threats.Reality is what you will begin to live with.Make sure you get used to it.
26. #25 is right
Paco ,   Canada   (07.27.09)
i totally agree with u mahmood. Regardless of what some said about Iran versus Iraq and iran losing the war... that was 20 years ago. Things have changed BIG time since then, Iran has more arsenal and advanced weaponry manufactured at home and in Russia able to bring down ISrael's most sophisticated 200 planes down in matter of seconds (im talking about S300-400 Russian defense systems). Also, Israel WAS the most powerful country militarily in the MIDEAST until the war of 2006 with Hezbollah/ Israel. What Israel thought to be a 2-3 days incursion in Lebanon to wipout Hezbollah turned out to be a 30 days of "failure" to reach any goal that Israel had established back then! The second time Israel showed its weakness is its failure in stopping Palestinians missiles from falling on Israel in January 2009.. again nothing was achieved, rather more innocent civilian casualities and Israeli massacres were depicted on TV the entire time... pushing Israel to HALT its attack due to another failure. Hence, even if Israel has the most sophisticated armaments and planes , the latter wont help at all, since Israel is not able to use them wisely strategically when planned.
27. LAUGH AND THE WORLD
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (07.27.09)
Laughs with you,cry and you have to listen to endless garbage from Hillary Clinton.
28. ACTUALLY,
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (07.27.09)
Hillary Clinton is a good-looking woman,and I mean that most sincerely friends.It is a shame though that she has swallowed too many ruthless ambition pills.
29. Iran nuclear.. best for Middle East
Peter Morris ,   New Zealand   (07.27.09)
The Middle East must have another country with nuclear weapons to counter Israel's. The other alternative is no nuclear weapons at all. Any logical thinking person can see that.
30. #25/26
Malone ,   Hfx   (07.27.09)
The trouble with you twits is that you believe your own propaganda. In Lebanon and in Gaza Israel could have totally destroyed both had they wanted. They fought with one hand so as to limit the civilian damage. It's hard to distinguish who the bad guys are when they all look the same and hide amongst civilians. Next time may be more decisive.
