1. Iran and the Bomb
chaim grosz ,   Miami USA   (02.22.10)
you are very right, if Israels hand is forced to obliberate Irans capabilities, it would be a great disaster not only for that region but for the entire world. so what is the solution, STOP IRAN from forcing Israel to defend her country from a mad man the whole world is incapable of seeing further then their hatered of Israel,. it is allways Israel that must not do that, even if Israel follows the rules of the worlds spy's only Israel is held and roundly condemed for a pin point operation that only took out a proud murderer of Jews, Europe has a very sad history of dealing with Jewish rights, the more you condem the less credibility you have, just look at the UN it has never condemend, Darfur, Sudan, the Congo, China, Russia and all the worlds despots yet if Israel does anything it is roundly condemed. as it stands now Israel just ignores both the UN and the EU. you want to stop Israel the address is Iran Chaim
2. so erdogan enjoys imaginating iran with nukes?
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (02.22.10)
he must also enjoy the delightful, unforeseen consequences of iran pointing said nukes at israel and generally destabilizing the world. at least we know where, and with whom, the turks stand.
3. Erdogan is in bed with Iran
zionist forever   (02.22.10)
He has signed all kinds of agreements with Iran. If Israel does attack Iran then Turkey will commit air force support to help Iran. So we will probably have Turkish pilots trying to shoot down Israelis. They have signed an intelligence sharing agreement. What intelligence would Iran & Turkey be interested in sharing other than Israel. Turkey is going to permit Iran to build early warning stations on Turkish territory to detect for any Israeli attack before it comes. I wonder how much advanced Israeli weapons either exported or which Turkey builds under licence details of which will secretly be given to Iran? Turkey is Israels enemy and they are working side by side with Iran and should not be trusted.
4. The clown has spoken..
Ram ,   London   (02.22.10)
This fool is developing the same bold front as the rest of the backward arab despots. They open their mouths and blurt out totally unintelligent utterances. Iran has not threatened to erase Turkey from the map. On the contrary, Erdogan is now best buddies with this pariah state as well as Syria. I say to Erdogan, " you are not in a position to give advice to Israel because you are part of its problem". If Israel decise to strike Iran pre-emptively it would be because of a lack of choice. It will be because its very survival is at stake. The fools that are Iran, Syria and its supporters will unfortunately also suffer the consequences. It is the international community's neglected resopnibility that will lead to this doomsday scenario.
5. Appointment with destiny
Marcel ,   Florida   (02.22.10)
Turkey is included in this coalition of nations to be defeated when they come against Israel. And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes Ezekiel 338
6. DISASTER FOR TURKEY !!!.
Arn. ,   SWEDEN.   (02.22.10)
Erdogan warns against Israeli strike in Iran Turkish prime minister says pre-emptive strike on Islamic Republic's nuclear facilities would lead to 'disaster in entire region, would have unforeseeable consequences I would not even want to imagine' YOU WILL LOSE YOUR OCCUPATION OF KURDISTAN, WHO WILL BECOME FREE AND INDEPENDENT. 'Not losing hope on joining EU' YOU WILL NEVER BECOME MEMBER OF EU, BUT HAS TO COVENANT SAUDIARABIA. GO TO YOUR DESTINY TURKEY, THAT IS HELL AND DESTRUCTION. YOU WILL HAVE A FORTASTE IN THE NEXT WAR TO COME. Arn.
7. Erdogan
Ali ,   Thailand   (02.22.10)
He is a funny guy but his hair-do is the best. Sadly he is a PM of the Turkish Republic. Oh, well, poor Ataturk...
8. israel
anton ,   istanbul   (02.22.10)
we turks have had enoguh of your nonsense lets see whre thıs goes
9. What will everyone say when they learn Iran has the bomb?
Scott   (02.22.10)
A nuclear-equipped Iran will not lay idle. Not at all. they will use this power to blackmail the world. A horrible war is well on the way. Once the war starts, as they have done in the past, all will join in to defeat Israel. Any involvement by Turkey will assure it will not remain unscathed. In short, if this Erdogan buffoon, keeps it up fanning the flames and joins in...his country will be smoked. I'd predict that of all the countries other than Iran that would be hit - Turkey will be whacked very hard. Israel will not have the luxury of waiting to see what the Turks might use against it, especially given the access that Turkey previously had to Israel's military and weapons.
10. poor turks
dani   (02.22.10)
a country that has a good medical system and an advanced economy is about to go the way of iran because of erdogan. he is destroying the accomplishments of kemal ataturk.
11. This man is placing a target on Turkey's back.
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (02.22.10)
12. UAVs
Rick S. ,   Fla.   (02.22.10)
And Israel is still going forward with selling UAVs to Turkey? How stupid can they be?
13. #10
James ,   Herzeliya   (02.22.10)
Good medical system? Advanced economy? you must be an expert on turkey. The last time I checked.. turkey's foreign debt was over half a trillion dollars. Official unemployment is 18%.. Unofficial is closer to 30%. As for the medical system wow!! people from all over the world are flocking to turkey to get treatment for boldness behind the ears. God help you if you get sick and have to go to Cerrahpasa hospital in istanbul. The patience check in but never check out.
14. #10 "Advanced Economy", "Good Medical System"???
(02.22.10)
The last time I checked, they have discovered that the mule goes in front of the cart and not the other way around. And God forbid if you get hemorroids in Turkey. The only way to cure them is, well... the Turkish way!
15. Iran NUC would lead to 'disaster in entire region,
Psalms83 ,   Selah   (02.22.10)
AND NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
16. Erdogan
John ,   New York   (02.22.10)
Should it not be already late for doing the Military in Turkey should do the right thing. Keep up with the tradition of Ataturk.
17. Erdogan
Hal ,   Usa   (02.22.10)
Erdogan has made a calculation that his and Turkey's interests are with reactionary elements in Iran and the dentist in Syria. Too bad for him that the knife is already poised at his back. The Turkish military wil end this before they alow him to drag Turkey into an adventure that will make WWI look like a walk in the park.
18. Poor Israelis living on State Subsidized Bread
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (02.22.10)
as they cannot buy normal bread to feed themselves. At least we have no subsidy on bread in Turkey, average Turkish people is richer than Israelis but as Turkish people does not like paying taxes most of income is hidden and not show in National Accounts. By the why if Israeli disappear tomorrow People of World will only get better off.
19. John, why are you advocating military dictartorship for...
Persian CAT   (02.23.10)
Turkey?!!! What are you doing in the "free world", homie? Wasting time?
20. Hal, someday you'll wake up from...
Persian CAT ,   USA   (02.23.10)
and see your wet dreams gone! The Turkish military has realized their future lies with the ME countries. The time to serve as the West's doormat is over, buddy. Get a clue.
21. Response to #8 and #18
MKL ,   USA   (02.23.10)
Soon the judgements will come: Ezekiel 28:25-26.
22. Erdogan=garbage of wanna be Europe
nelu ,   portland usa/romania   (02.23.10)
23. :: Arab Gulf is correct
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (02.23.10)
24. #20 Cat
Hal ,   Usa   (02.23.10)
Someday cat your nation will wake up and the nightmare of your Islamic wet dream of threat and violence will disappear. The clue I have is that your countrymen are losing their fear of their rulers and as with the Shah, you and your buddies will be gone, with the little dictator hanging from a tree like fruit. How's that for a wet dream ?
25. Right on
Diane ,   LN, USA   (02.24.10)
I read all the posts and there were only 3 posts that people understand what is going on. The world is blind. There is going to be a world wide catastrophy and it isn't going to be pretty. Ultimately, Israel is the victor. The world can have its hatred towards Israel because they are blinded by the ruler of this world. Israel is God's chosen. Ps 83 + Isaiah 17, and eventually Ezekial 37-38, and ultimately Revelation for those of you who want to know history in advance.
