3. SO WHAT ???.
Arn. ,   SWEDEN.   (02.21.10)
'Obama administration plans to send the kind of signal to Iran about the very serious concerns countries in the region and the world have about its nuclear program,' IRAN ALREADY KNOWS THAT, AND HAS PLANED YEARS IN ADVANCE, FOR THE WORST OUTCOME OF THE WORLDS CONSERN, THAT IS WAR. The United States is raising the stakes in its bid to halt Iran's nuclear program, putting the issue on a "pressure track," top US general David Petraeus said Sunday. THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO HALT IRANS NUCLEAR PROGRAM, A MILITARY STRIKE !!!. "I think that no one at the end of this time can say that the United States and the rest of the world have not given Iran every opportunity to resolve the issues diplomatically," Petraeus, the head of US Central Command, said. YES - YOU HAVE BEEN SITTING IDLE TO THE PERIL OF BOTH ISRAEL AND THE WORLD. 'New national intelligence estimate being developed' Petraeus suggested that Iran's recent actions were leading US intelligence agencies to update their estimations. SO US THE JERK HAS AWAKEN, BUT ARE STILL A JERK ???, THEN STRIKE MILITARILY BEFOR THE OTHER SIDE DO, AND DO NOT CONTINUE JERKING OF !!!. Arn.
4. Those americans!!

In different words they are saying: sorry but it seems we can't do a darn thing about it. If you review their big talk since before 2005 you will see that they are repeating themselves, but the clear facts they can't do a thing to stop Iran from doing what they are doing, and the funny part is Iran do, then Iran say, who know if they already have nuclear weapons or not? if they didn't develop it themselves maybe they bought it from arm dealers in Russia. All what americans can afford to do is to push their Israeli pawns to do something stupid, remember 2006 anyone?? and if they see Hizbllah, Syria, or Iran itself weak, then maybe they can do something, if not, then it's not Americans lives were lost, but Israeli and others.

That's how long Ali Baba and his 4 million thieves have had to despoil Iran of its wealth, turn it into cash and deposit it in banks abroad. They are laughing at the USA and its stupid push for "sanctions". Sanctions will only hurt the proles and peasants of Iran, Ali Baba and his thieves will do just fine...

Dave have you already heard about Mordechai HaYehudi?
7. We should not wait any longer!
Ron B. ,   Lod   (02.22.10)
Iran is determined to acquire and develop nuclear warheads. The UN sanctions regime did not work; Iran has many resources at its disposal to hire nuclear scientists and related equipment. After all it has the whole state apparatus at its disposal to conduct this kind of illegal activity. Without decisive use of force, we may only expect a nuclear war, a massive amount of victims and, yes reaction by democracies when it is already too late for many of our citizens. This might be the ultimate lesson learnt from the Versailles fiasco. More about the M-E and nuclear Iran : http://xrl.us/bfvnfk
8. It's too late
maria ,   T.O. Canada   (02.22.10)
Iran knew how to play it smart, very smart, some of them spent time negotiating with 5+1 group, while their main focus was working day and night on their Uranium enrichment, when they started this strategy in 2005 it seemed to be a very long shot, as the west won't wait for them so long to get close to what they want to do.. but here we are 5 years later, the west -mostly americans- still barking, and Iranian still working, in my opinion they only show the tip of the Ice berg, and trust me US will only attack an enemy when they are more then 100% of winning, N.Korea is an example, Iraq is another, You are waiting for americans to attack Iran, and this will never happen, and If you think Israel can do it, think again, the whole Israeli air fleet, if it flies together can't cover the area where the Iranian nuclear reactors spread, and let's not think about the aftermath. only Imagining the big rocks flying and destroying every Israeli city is a bit scary. Last week Nassrallah said he can hit tel Aviv and he made everyone scared to death, and he really got toys comparing to Iran, here's the naked truth, nothing can be done, it's too late. and the rest is just feel good talk.

Hal ,   United States   (02.22.10)
Stick you what you know Maria, nothing. You and Marcel Laurent keep citing the results of 2006 or what your hero Sayed Fatzralla has said what he can do to Tel Aviv. Put that crap to sleep. Fatboy can say anything he wants, doing is another story. Sayed knows that if Lebanon is destroyed this time, his rathole will not be deep enough to keep the Lebanese people from barbequeing him. Iran's leaders talk alot as well. Talk is cheap. There will be alot of soild underwear in Tehran if they try any stupid move. Got it Marcel ?
