33. 23 zionist forever: America has HAARP EMP
Rivkah   (01.08.10)
capabilities that can put out the electronics in every hardened (militarized) targets before attacking. There is a whole new generation of weaponry the public is generally not aware of, such as bullets from a rifle that can blow up a building from one bullet. There are thermo weapons that can be fired into a cave or bunker from an opening that cause a fireball that sucks up all the oxygen and everyone in the bunker or cave dies. Then there are the MOP's, huge ordinance bombs that are necessary to take out Iran's 6,000+ centrifuges under 60 feet of cement. Then the depleted uranium weapons such as bunker buster bombs or bullets that go through fortified targets that leave the area polluted with depleted uranium that causes birth defects. Iranians and others who are on the recieving end should eat a lot of cilantro to chelate out the uranium so they don't have babies born with their heads where their butts should be like in Kuwait that was downwind of Iraq.
34. 28 zionist forever: Obama wants a nuclear free America so it
Rivkah   (01.08.10)
will be easier for a nuclear Iran to attack and destroy without fear of retaliation with the object being to subject Americans to sharia law with Obama as the Muslim Mahdi. That is how it looks to me.
35. Mullen's Alarmist Crap
Brod ,   USA   (01.08.10)
What an alarmist crap by Mullen! Does he prefer to see the Ayatollahs' nuke incinerating Israel? Israel should not be deterred by Mullen's alarmist crap. It shows that Mullen does not understand the nature and agenda of Islamist-Jihadism. The fact is when the fanatical Ayatollahs' have their nukes, the ramifications to the region and the world would be a thousand times worst. And the region will fall like dominos under Iran's domination, and Europe's capitals will be in peril, America's influence in the region will be vanquished. Islamist-Jihadist terrorism will intensify.

samuel ,   RSA   (01.08.10)
Hey BBS it,s time for the dysfuctional Islamic republic of Turkey to recognise an independent Kurdish republic with Mosul and Kirkuk and the nearby oilfields incprporated into the Kurdish state plus time for the Hashemites to vacate Jordan/Palestine and give it back to you and your brethren,kindly refrain from talking about illegal colonies as you,re missing the real issues?

What,s worse is the continuation of Sunnis and Shias killing each other and long may it continue .
38. 29 Mike, Germany: Elam is an ancient name for part of Persia
Rivkah   (01.08.10)
(Iran). Ezekiel the Prophet in the Bible says all people in Elam will die. Others in other parts of Persia will be scattered to all nations. So something is going to happen to Iran that makes it uninhabitable. Babylon becomes uninhabitable forever in judgment of the destruction of Solomon's temple long ago. So Persia will be inhabitable again at some point.. But everyone in Elam (part of Persia) dies and then the Throne of Judah takes over it which means it becomes part of Israel since the Thone of Judah is Jerusalem. America is the notable horn of Daniel chapter 8 since the prophecy is of the latter days not the time of Alexander. The notable horn breaks into four parts after the ram with two horns (Media-Persia) is subdued. Those four nations are described as a lion, a leopard, a bear, and a seven headed ten horned beast which is probably the UN. The leopard may be Canada since they signed a mutual defense treaty with Russia against America for the promise of part of America if Russia wins. The bear could be Russia or Mexico that also signed a mutual defense treaty with Russia against America. The leopard could be China or Germany or a Black nation. And then there are the six or more million Muslims in America with jihadist training camps in many places teaching Muslim men and women and children how to slit throats and shoot up people and places with AK47's. Problems are coming to America unless the godless leadership is voted out while they still can be and God is put back into the schools and universities and government and Christians and Jews are exalted while Islam and Hinduism and other non-Judeo-Chriistian religions are banned and their devotees deported.

Interestingly enough, Israel does not feel the need to seek anyone's permission on existential issues. Keep in mind that Israel does not need an air corridor over Iraq as the Saudis and the Emirates have offered Israel the use of their air space and their refueling assistance. You see, the enemy of my enemy is my friend -- and Shi'ite Iran has really taxed the patience of Sunni Saudi and the Emirates. Too much Iranian attempt to destabilize the Kingdom and far too much Iranian threats against the Emirates. You are wrong. Israeli-made and Israeli-manufactured weaponry accounts for nearly 78% of Israeli materiel and munitions. The balance that is American is a requirement of the United States' foreign aid package to Israel which includes a proviso that Israel must spend its military credits in the United States for the purchase of United States-made materiel. So who's fooling who? Coming from Austria as you do, you ought to be spending all your time on your knees begging forgiveness from the jewish people and from the State of Israel. Austria, after all, was the birthplace of the worst monsters the world has ever seen. How can you even stand yourself, knowing that you, too, are Austrian?
40. Sarah you'll be the one begging forgiveness

Once a facility goes online, the signature and change in the cooling towers are unmistakable and I assure you that all of Iran's facilities and ports are under constant satellite surveillance. Underground cooling towers? LOL. In that case, bombardment will not be necessary. You are quite the fool.
46. 43 Arn-Orao, Sweden-Srbia: Look at the map by
Rivkah   (01.08.10)
Son Light Publishers, Inc. @1997 called "Personal Map Insert" of Bible lands ancient and modern with clear outlines over solid maps to show today's Bible lands compared to ancient lands in different times of the Bible. Chaldea is northern Saudi Arabia/southern Iraq, south of the Euphrates River. Media is northern Iraq and north-west Iran. Persia is below (south of) Media. Elam is south-western part of Iran.The Hidekeli River vision that Daniel in the Bible saw a war starting near Basra where the Tigris (Hidekel) River and Euphrates River meet is in ancient Elam with Pekod and NodEast of the Ulai River and Basra. I accept your apologies for slandering my post.
47. Admiral Mullen: Russia gave China AND IRAN Sunburst missiles
Rivkah   (01.08.10)
that with a nuclear warhead can blow a ship out of the sea, flying under radar and undetected before impact. WHEN Iran has nuclear weapons to use, they will blow up the US Fleet in the Mediterranean. Nostradamus saw a fleet of iron ships destroyed in what he called the Persian Sea. THAT is why we must do to Iran what they want to do to us BEFORE they are able to. Contact John Hogue who has written books on the predictions of Nostradamus and talk to him about it. Or read Mother Shipton's prophecies from the 1600's. The Bible says Y'hovah will do nothing except He first tells His servants the Prophets. Nostradamus was such a servant. He says Mabus (possibly US SECNAV Ray Mabus) will destroy a third of the world in his anger. Destroying a US Fleet of ships would get the American people behind nuking Islam out of existence, as well as the nations that are allied to Islam unless they retreat post haste.
48. 47correction: Nostradamus saw a fleet of iron ships
Rivkah   (01.08.10)
destroyed in the ARABIAN Sea, not the Persian Sea.

MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (01.08.10)
How come the standing of different personalities keep on changing in your views..................specially when it suits you? Admiral Mullen is a senior most person and has years of experience,hasn't he?Why have you people retained him if you refer to him as a clown? He is absolutely correct in predicting what he forsees should you become adventorous and attack Iran.In fact,he should have added the word 'disaster' in knowing the consequence of any mis-adventure agains Iran.
50. Wake up
Brad ,   USA   (01.09.10)
Iran already has it's nukes. Where did you think Saddam Hussein sent his WMD's while we were diddling with the UN over and over again, in 2002? We see all if this attention given to Iran. Remember, Hussein also sent some "packages" to Syria. Gee, I wonder what Assad has been up to, under the radar.

Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.09.10)
The Joint Chiefs of Staff serve by appointment. They are not elected by the American people. As usual you see everything backwards. It is Iran that is adventuring, not Israel. Iran is doing its level best to deflect the attention of the Iranian people away from Iran's serious internal issues, which has finally found voice. Iran has tried desperately to deflect Israel's attention by goading its terrorist proxies -- Hamas and Hizbollah -- to engage Israel, but Israel has swatted those gnats away with little effort. Look for Iran to take desperate measures, not Israel. Of course, any such stupidity on the part of Iran will guarantee its rather rapid demise, but, Iran's leadership is not exactly known for being wise, now, are they? Tick tock, baby. Tick tock.
52. Mahmood, how is the brainwashing of suicide bombers going?
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (01.09.10)
it seems that you are doing a pretty good job there in Londonistan's Jihadi Mosques and Muslim Student Associations Forget Israel and comment on what you are really expert on any denial is immediately considered Al Takyia and not accepted
