1. Scud Missiles, courtesy of Syria
gregg bowman ,   Parksville, Canada   (04.14.10)
you don't tell the Syrians that you are concerned about the Scud missiles...you tell them they have 48 hours to remove them or we will remove them.....quit playing these embarrassing games....regards....Gregg Bowman
2. Gibbs and his boss are "concerned"
velville ,   atlanta   (04.14.10)
because if the Hiz or Hamas begin shooting Scuds at Israeli towns and cities and the Israelis begin defending themselves Obama will look like the whiny baby he is and Gibbs will look like the dunce he is
3. Im sure Syria&Hez are concerned by WH's concern
Alan ,   SA   (04.14.10)
4. Islamic intimidation of Europe
Alex ,   UK   (04.14.10)
These rockets pose bigger threat to Europe than to Israel. That all story might be just a smokescreen, - while real attacks against European capitals could be launched from one of arms smuggling ships cruising in Mediterranean. Anyway, at least Italian government should think about protecting Vatican and St.Peter from missile attack - because that is target #1 for all and any of these Sharia promoters.
5. Turning the Blind Eye to Syria
W. ,   Beirut, Lebanon   (04.14.10)
That's what will happen when the Free World turns a blind eye to Syria. Assad will keep on sending "quality" arms to Hizballah, as long as he escapes retribution, rather he gets rewarded (Israel flirts with him, the US sends an ambassador, etc...). He'll send SCUDS, SA 8 & 18 and God knows what. It's an acsneding trend, so maybe next time he'll give them Chemical warheads for the missiles.
6. #4 Alex, UK
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (04.14.10)
Why should Iran (or one of its aides) attack Europe? In 30-40 years Europe will be Islamic anyway.
7. And the deep concern over Iran's nuke, shocking!
B.E. ,   Whangarei, N.Z.   (04.14.10)
8. Houston, we gotta a problem
Jeffrey Brock ,   Knoxville TN   (04.15.10)
you folks in Israel should go ahead and shoot yourself; the dumb-ass in the whitehouse is sure not going to help a Jew. Defend yourselves. The Scuds are coming.... The Scuds are coming...
9. a proper response
PW ,   Virginia USA   (04.15.10)
This is why Israel must never again let Europe or America determine the end of hostile action...The promise of UN troops enforcing the cease fire is a fools choice...A simple statement ...Missiles fly from Hezbolla both Lebanon and DAMASCUS will be utterly destroyed...
10. DO THE SCUDS FALL UNDER
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (04.15.10)
The category of 'sophisticated weapons? I wonder.Anyway, it now means that scud could create a problem for someone..................hmmm!! What about other 'sophisticated weapons' already with Hezbullah's?Sarah believes everything has been impounded before they reached Lebanon.Well,not everything is impounded,yah?
11. The Muslim Terrorist are...
AlbertoGA ,   St. George, USA   (04.15.10)
Trembling, No.....way. Crocodile tears and Blablah from Gibbs, what a joke ! Obama is not to solve any problem. His popularity with the Muslim World, this is too important.
12. Thanks Obama
GOOD ,   USA   (04.15.10)
Thanks, Obama for being a wimp and kissing Assad's a$$ and restoring your envoy to Damascus. Maybe it will give you a clue to how effective your retarded Middle East policy is. In 15 short months you have made more damage to the US and Israel than all their enemies in history put together. Thanks, Obama.
13. Damascus
Agent 007.5 ,   USA   (04.15.10)
May Damascus disappear forever and may its disappearance cause human hearts to be willing to contribute to peaceful existence in the region.
14. its so wrong
daviv   (04.15.10)
15. What now, Obama and Hillary ...?
Paul ,   USA   (04.15.10)
Maybe you can send Goldstone to investigate. I'm sure that they're not scuds..maybe just some big roman candles.
16. I am curious, wouldn't HA obtaining weapons be
leo ,   usa   (04.15.10)
violation of UNSR [whatever the number] of August, 2006? And if so, wouldn't Israel be fully justified while destroying those scuds immediately? They will be much harder to catch while in flight.
17. The Hizbullah’s and Nasrallah.
Ron B. ,   Lod   (04.15.10)
The Hizbullah, exist only because it is supported by the dictatorship of Syria and the fanatic Islam regim of Iran. Their moves are not fair. They have an unfair agenda. They fight unfair battles in the wrong place at the wrong time. They should be destroyd to the last. History tells us that those who came by sword will go by the sword as described at : http://xrl.us/bjcsj
18. Obama concerned over Scuds
Benny ,   Gush Etzion   (04.15.10)
So he is sending an Ambassador to to Syria to demand that they send more Gibbs is a little weasel, who looks like teh kid that everyone loved to hate in school perhaps he can get a sidejob at Haaretz or at Ynet
19. scuds
Frank ,   Israel   (04.15.10)
the only concern the US has for the scuds in Syria is that there are not enough. I am sure obama is seeing how he can increase syrian stocks of weapons. obama's intent, since he has abandoned the US is to destroy Israel. White guilt will allow it as he is doing nothing for the US. Classic jimmy carter. But the world sits back and says what a brillent mind and considering all his political experience....he knows, he knows....even today the US papers and commentators will not admit that possibly they were mistaken and took this guilt thing a little too far. Open admissions didn't work for US universities and doesn't work for president. Equal opportunity means anyone with creditials can have the job. Being on law review as one of your top three creds is not what I would consider really enough. But for the US apparently it is. I guess the US has no faith in their own government or future to have wanted something sustainable and substantial. But as they say, in the US anyone can grow up to become president, and normally do!
20. What no concern about Israels WMDS cluster bomb wp, dm?
lydia ,   Brisbane   (04.15.10)
21. 16 Israel is in violation of more UN res. than Saddam
lydia ,   Brisbane   (04.15.10)
'Take the beam out of thine own eyes before worrying about the speck in thy neighbors eye'.
22. 17 bombing unarmed Pals with cb, wp and dm is ?fair
lydia ,   Brisbane   (04.15.10)
If Israel had negotiated in good faith with the Arabs there would have been no need for the PLO or Hamas a mutated spawn of Israeli illegal occupation and subjugation of Palestinians whose only crime is that Israel covet their land.
23. #22 The Pals were armed to teeth
Cynthia ,   USA   (04.15.10)
It wasn't the Hamas and Fatah fairy that launched terror attacks on Israel. Hamas and Fatah have made it clear they have no intention of negotiating in good faith as they cling to their self-destructive armed struggle.
24. #21
Phil ,   Ireland   (04.15.10)
Perhaps if the UN passes some resolutions against the terrorist actions of the Palestinians, then Israel would pay more attention to the resolutions against Israel.
25. lydia @ 21, please point at least one of those
leo ,   usa   (04.15.10)
UNSR resolutions. While doing so do not mention non-binding UN resolutions for obvious reasons.
26. War
TAHRIR QUDS ALYAHUDI   (04.15.10)
If war breaks, Israel must use her strength and bomb Damascus, Beirut and to finish Hamas. If other islamic countries will join Israel should attack them too. No mercy. No ceasefire until the job is done for good. Human right,UN,(United Nazi) EU,and the rest can go to HELL. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH .
27. #10 Agent Mahmood
Hal ,   USA   (04.15.10)
While you are supposing who will have a problem my dear boy, let me interrupt your hash induced dreamstate. The "someone", Mahmood will be any of your fantasy Islamist hero's dumb enough to try something as foolish as firing Scud missles at Israel. I can guarantee that any or all of your friends will have the worst day of their lives and then darkness! Later Mahboob.
28. UN res.181 the borders of the jewish state'
lydia ,   Brisbane   (04.16.10)
A Declaration of Sovereignty IS binding so too is the recognition of the majority of the member nations of the Int. Community, despite the objections of the Arab states.
29. 23 Liar! Liar! pants on Fire! They tried hence
lydia ,   Brisbane   (04.16.10)
"if and only if all aspects of the UN res 242' will any legality be prescribed to the 1967 borders". Despite Israels statements to the contrary it dishonors all agreements it signed with the Arabs and the Int. Community
30. 24 Hamas is legitimate resistance to Israel illegal occup.
lydia ,   Brisbane   (04.16.10)
The UN passes resolutions against the illegal occupiers. You will have to pay attention to the UN when Obama withdraws that one UN veto hindering the organization from carrying out the wishes of the Int. Community.
