2. Hello everyone !
Sejil II   (12.16.09)
3. Dear Atilla Karagözoğlu
Curious ,   World   (12.16.09)
I just got a very bad feeling about all that. A feeling about you, Atilla Karagözoğlu, getting very disappointed. One lovely day A weapon will be use in the future, there is no doubt about that. The question is, who will use it? And where? A weapon are in the west not seen as a “killing weapon” (read kill most possible people) but rather building a radioactive buffer between parts. By blowing an A bombe over the Western of Iran (low populated area between Iran and Syria) and after blowing their nuclear facility with conventional weapon Iran will be totally paralyse from doing anything. Yes their may send few of their famous improved Sejil 2 missile with conventional warhead, but my guess is, that wont be many of them… They even may use them with an A warhead if they got one today, in this case that will resolve the Palestinian problem, since any hit on Israel will necessary hit the Palestinian mostly… Good luck Atilla, you need some…
4. IRANS INTENTIONS IS TO GO TO WAR !!!.
Arn-Orao. ,   Sweden-Srbia.   (12.16.09)
HOW CAN ANYBODY NOT UNDERSTAND THIS ???. IRAN WOULD NOT DEVELOPE THOSE MISSILES, IF IRAN DOES NOT INTEND TO GO TO WAR. BECAUSE, NO NATION AS SUCH IS A TREATH TO IRAN, OR TREATHENS IRAN AS SUCH. BECAUSE, THE ONLY TREATH TO IRAN IS A RESPONSE, TO THE TREATHS IRAN ITSELF THREATHENS OTHERS WITH. SANCTIONS WILL NOT STOP IRAN, NOR WOULD SANCTIONS BECOME WORLDSANCTIONS, THE US POLICY AS IN THE CASE OF NORTHKOREA, IS A FAILURE. ISRAELS POSITION IS ERODING BY THE DAY, AND HER ENEMIES INCREASING. ACTION IS URGENT !!!. Arn-Orao.
5. Total B.S.
Septimus Severus ,   Rome   (12.16.09)
Its funny however the timing of that release by the shiite entity.. a day after the US senate pass a bill on sanction agtainsst that illegal entity.. Its ponly about propaganda. the dicattors of irans wante dto show the peoples under their grip that they are powerfull, while being in fact a paper hynena. Only war will deliver the goal. There can be no other substitute to that. the rest is B.S
6. How soon before the missles reach Europe? Maybe when a nuke
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (12.16.09)
lands there they will rethink how bad Israel really is NOT.
7. IRAN
Mike Van Harris ,   Antwerp Belgium   (12.16.09)
IRAN YOU ARE GREAT.
8. To number 4
Salah Beytar ,   Tyre Lebanon   (12.16.09)
The old cowboy days of Israel are gone. one mistake from Israel or the US, will be the end of Israel. Israel is a country that is build on war and bodybags. Please hit Iran if you dare, your days are numberd.
9. without airstrikes Iran will get nukes
zionist forever   (12.16.09)
The shihab can already reach Israel & the military bases so I don't think Israel has to worry about the increased range. Air strikes are the only options left. We have been allowing Iran to play the world for fools for the past 6-7 years with delaying tactic after delaying tactic and sanction after sanction. Russia & China will never allow sanctions that are going to do real damage to Iran because they do to much trade so they will use their Security Council vetos. Individual states can use national sanctions but that won't have muscle because we have been doing that for years. Iran will also defy any sanctions no matter how painful on a moral ground .. not let anybody bully them. Air strikes are the only viable option The US has at least 2 carrier fleets in the Gulf already armed with Tomohawk cruise missiles and along with their airbases in the GUlf access toover 100 fighters & bombers. Without putting a single troop on the ground they could destroy the entire Iranian military infastructure everything from the navy, a llarge part of the airforce, missiles and of course nuclear facilities. At the very least Obama should untie Israels hands let it try, there is also a deadline because as soon as Iran gets its hands on the S300 air defense system pretty much everything but a stealth jet will be unable to defend itself. An ideal solution would be for the US to LOAN Israel some of its now retired fleet of F117 stealth jets and as they are passed the 20 year export limitations limit it may have been possible to get it through Congress. It could be justified as a sale or loan to protect Israels own air defenses until the F35 is delivered. not for offensive purposes. With a stealth aircraft for a first strike to destroy air defenes & missile sites it would be possible for F15 & F16 to finish the job. Done like that Israel has a serious chance of getting the job done.
10. YES,SEPTIMUS.........................#5
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (12.16.09)
You seem to be enjoying the usage of Shiite entity when it comes to Iran,which indeed has more political reason than anything else.I tend to doubt your real name,nevertheless,you have been singing this song for quite a while and nothing seems to be going your way.Well, time for you to let 2009 pass and I shall welcome you into 2010. Iran has and will go ahead with defence preparations irrespective of what others have to say.................and you allege the war being the solution!! Well,well,well....we have been hearing of these threats for a while.Time for you to do some hard thinking.
11. Iran and the west
Mike Van Harris ,   Antwerp Belgium   (12.16.09)
We have no fear from Iran, but we have a lot of fear from Israel. Israel has 400 nuclear bombs, for what we may ask ? Israel must dissarm.
12. To 8.
Curious ,   World   (12.16.09)
I remember such words from the past. In 48. In 67. In 73. Lately in 2006. (remember 2006 Salah Beytar?) And last 2009. Yet Israel is still there…
13. America chose the policy of appeasement over confrontation,
Dave   (12.16.09)
Jeffrey T. Kuhner is president of the Edmund Burke Institute, a Washington think tank writes in the Washington Times on June 14 on Obama: more than a puerile and pathetic exercise in political correctness. It will be remembered as the pivotal moment in history when the United States ceased to be a superpower. Sapped of its self-confidence and sense of grandiose destiny, America chose the policy of appeasement over confrontation, lies over truth, illusion over reality.
14. To Salah Beytar
Curious ,   World   (12.16.09)
As fare as I’m concerned, the cowboys of yours Salah Beytar are mostly looking like Hizbullah and Hamas, you know, cowboys with big mouth covering them self behind women and children, or…. Deep, very deep below the ground promising earthquakes or even floods bye the navm of Allah… Well, you better find out about your connection with Allah, Salah Beytar obviously very bad connection you got there…
15. I welcome any improvement to Irans Defences
RJBH ,   Methil   (12.16.09)
16. While Israel plans to divest from the West Bank
Al   (12.16.09)
and throw 100's of 1000's of Jews out of their homes. Iran is getting ready to throw Israel back to the stone age. You just got to laugh how stupid the Jews of Israel have become.
17. 6.
(12.16.09)
No... they'll still find a way to hate us...
18. TALKBACK NUMBER 8.
Arn-Orao. ,   Sweden-Srbia.   (12.16.09)
HOW SAD TO SEE, PEOPLE DECEIVED AND SELFDECEIVED, BELIEVING SO STRONGLY IN THE LIE. YOU WILL SEE WHOS DAYS ARE NUMBERED, BEGINNING WITH LEBANON. Arn-Orao.
19. To number 12
Salah Beytar ,   Tyre Lebanon   (12.16.09)
I was on the front line in 2006, I sow your so called IDF runnning away, I sow your tanks blown up. and I also sow your fighter plains hitting inocent civilians. the difference between you and us is We are men and you are chickens.
20. Are Iranian missiles guided or controlled?
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (12.16.09)
Guided missiles would seem to be 100 times more dangerous since they could aimed at one house rather than a city. It should be easy to make them guided with satellite GPS and cell phone towers but harder to make jamming proof now days.
21. 6
zionist forever   (12.16.09)
Some parts of western Europe & Irans best friend Russia are already in range of Iranian missiles. The question Obama should be asking himself is how long before the missiles can reach mainland USA. Problem with Europe & Obama is they are all a bunch of pacafists and prefer to turn a blind eye to a problem rather than use force.
22. To Salah Beytar 19
Curiuos ,   World   (12.16.09)
How could you be at the front line and see “innocents” get kill bye our planes? What do you mean exactly? Do you mean you bring the front line to your civilians? (Hiding behind them) So you do admit civilians from Lebanon have been used with propice at the front line… Even by your self… What does that make of you? A cowboy? Hahaha… You are a foul...
23. “Only” the destruction of Israel…
Ron B. ,   Lod   (12.16.09)
Most Europeans and Americans are not keenly aware that Iran is on track to having the ability to threaten Kuwait City, Riyadh, Dubai, Istanbul, Athens, Rome, Berlin, Paris, London, New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles with nuclear weapons. They are oblivious to the ultimate aim of the Iranian nuclear weapons program: to transform Iran into the dominant global superpower by enabling its regime to attain hegemonic control of the petroleum production of all of the Gulf region’s oil states, while preventing the West from taking military action against Iran by deploying missiles that can obliterate Western cities. Instead, Americans and Europeans are under the impression that the program’s main goal is “only” the destruction of Israel… More about a nuclear Iran (3 parts) at : http://xrl.us/owrbs

Chad ,   Phoenix, AZ USA   (12.16.09)
I live in the US and am not Israeli. I am an American born and raised in Arizona. Just to get that out of the way. I want you to know that you are being deceived greatly. As a very informed citizen in the most informed society in the world that has ever been, thanks to our free commerce and internet, I have to inform you that you are being taken on a ride by your Iranian leaders. We all know what his underlying intention is. We are not stupid. Our leaders are though. If it were up to the majority of Americans, we would do likewise to you what you have been threatening Israel with, just to eliminate your threats. No better country to do it either. We have been dealing with Iran's foolishness since the early 1900's. I hope we can elect a real leader in 2012 that will take care of Iran's insolence once and for all. All we need to do is eliminate the threat, that's all. The innocents living in Iran will have peace, but you can Jump off a cliff with a thousand shoes you moron.
25. to #1
Johnny ,   Phoenix, AZ   (12.16.09)
What do you think those missiles are for? huh? Bird hunting? Is it coincidence that he now has produced missiles that can reach Israel and ALSO now has the capability to deliver Nukes? Coincidence??? Grow up and build yourself a fallout shelter fool. Too bad there are so many gullible idiots in this world. I'll just chalk it up to ignorance I guess. I hope to hell that the worlds so called 'leaders' can find a way to disarm these insane morons.
26. to # 10
Thaddius ,   Utah, US   (12.16.09)
Too bad I am not the president of the US or a Senator. i would vote to wipe your ass with sandpaper and then feed it to you to wash you sad mouth out with it. In fact, I think I would choose to personally meet you and have a war of fists you punk. Little Iranians talk big, but at the end of the day, have been smeared all over the world left and right. It will happen again too you whimp.
27. Al, diaspora Jew
Judah ,   Golan Heights,ISRAEL   (12.16.09)
Maybe the cold Montreal weather or all that Canadian beer is going to your head? Would it be to hard to support us for once ? 2010 probally will be the most dangerous year in Israel's history since 1948. Hopefully Israel can destroy Iran's nuclear facilities and Iran's response will be minimal. Yet there certainly is no guarentee that this will be the case.
28. NOTHING WILL HAPPEN YOU WAR MONGERS :)
Atilla Karagözoğlu   (12.16.09)
THERE WILL BE NO WAR. NO WAR. *** YOU SEE ! YOU DONT EVEN GIVE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION A CHANCE !
29. THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL & THE PEOPLE OF IRAN LOVES EACHOTHER
...therefore NO WAR ,   Atilla Karagözoğlu   (12.16.09)
30. Nuclear Iran
007 ,   Nigeria   (12.16.09)
Racism seems to be the driving force behind the unintelligent and uncomplimentary remarks and conclusions most people draw about Obama in this talk back, regarding his approach to the Iran issue. Bush was there for 8yrs and he did not bomb Iran, instead he went after the toothless and clawless Iraq which posed absolutely no risk to the existence of Israel and the Sunni governments in the Middle East. Yet, you people for one day did not berate him for allowing Iran to go nuclear under his watch. Due to your brainless head, you do not even know that it was Bush who tied Obama`s hand in dealing with Iran by committing the US military to the useless and illegitimate war in Iraq. More so, this illegitimate war ruined the image of the US and portrayed them as trigger-happy war mongers and murderers. Now Obama is still in his first year in office and you large mouthed war fools are showing an alarming magnitude of disrespect and disdain for him, simply because he has not nuked Iran as you desired, and to some certain extent because he is a Blackman. The truth is that most of you guys here are road side touts with zero experience in the working of government and the military. You are the low life jester in the king’s court. Obama and Israel would not bomb Iran till all other options are exhausted and confirmed by the world to have been exhausted. One thing for sure is that the US and Israel would never accept Iran as a Nuclear Power. This is the time for negotiations, sanctions, threats and coercion. The time for force and war would come but let us all pray it doesn’t get to that. War is an evil wind; it blows no one any good. One way or the other, all sides end up being the loser.
