these bragging remarks by Mr. Yaalon in public about things that should be kept within the bounds of military secrecy --prove again that he is a retard.

ehud barak, the famous soldier though failure as PM and lacklustre defence minister with his peace, then arabs should understand we are the strongest power in the middle east and should not test us, yet rockets still fly from gaza and hezbollah threatens as usual. Yaalon who blunted west bank terror no thanks to mofaz, comes out and say we have the ability to attack iran period. Barel, marcus, verter and barnea roll their eyes because they are pacifists who want to bow down to assad, abbas and obama. Yaalon gets my vote anyday compared to these weasals and olmert supporters.

Moshe Ya alon, you lack the balls do it if you dare !!!!!!!

Tel me, how do you prevent a 5000 rockets reaching every meter of Israel.

So Israel can attack Iran and set back the Iranian nuke program by 1 or 2 years. Why bother? The Iranians will activate Hezbolla and Hamas who, with Goldstone's support, will cause Israel great damage while the Iranians attack the Persian Gulf causing a world economic crisis. Instead, Israel should make it clear that Iran would suffer if they attacked Israel, but as long as they just subjugate the Arab world and overthrow the Saudi apartheid regime, Israel will support them.

Without Netenyahu's explicit consent? Extremely doubtful.

it does not mean information is not common knowledge in certain circles.

Only with permission from Obama.

Ok, how about, jets, drones, subs, ICBM's, EMP's special forces, and Mossad. Yeah, that should more than handle it.

....but Israel doesn't have the capacity to cope with the repercussions of an attack on Iran. Attack Iran and it would be the end of Israel.

It's been heard for 9 years now. If they ever had any intention to do anything they would have done it a long time ago,with out making empty threats in the public. This is just another one of those blah blah blah speeches made by israeli officials to make it look as if they really want to do some thing,while in reality ,the iranians crossed the red line a long time ago(again according to their own experts).

mentioned something about the use of tactical nuclear weapons. In short, Ahmedinejad is going to curse his mother's memory for ever bringing him into this world.

It is all written, those that go against The HOLY LAND will all be cursed. Check out all the countries that are having earth quakes.

and check who has the balls who hasn't !

You are so nice...and sooo intelligent...

Dr. Stranglove, well. This is about the survival of Israel. Not a Comedy Stupid !

The only option now. Striking Iran is the begining of the right change in the ME. There will be consequences but the lesser of 2 evilst. "A serpent does not do well without a head ". Such action would also show the West up for what it is -weak in the extreme- no to mention Obama.

mr you are dreaming mr ailon

you talking about war. if you donnot like atomic weapon you have to give up you own atomic arsenal first. if you give up than you may talk other wise shut your mouth still, hypocrites. pure non jewish commomsense logic.

Oh good grief !

Israel is controlled by ex-generals who can only see the world through the 'toys' they play with. Of course Ya'alon espouses a military "solution" - his narrow-minded view of the world cannot conceive of any other way to deal with Israel's problems.

US public now know better than Iraq's crap, won't happen again.

As it is written that those who go against the holyland will suffer from earthquakes, could you please explain the connection with Sumatra and Iceland? Or was yr comment simply a piece of nonsensical drivel?

So you think Israel should strike Iran in order to "who theWest up for what it is". That seems to be just about the most moronic motivation for a war that I have ever read. Not even Emperor William II of Germany was prepared to sacrifice thousands of his citizens for such a pathetic chimera of misplaced pride. I really think you need peace therapy.

the most important question is what after the "Israeli" attack on Iran? "Israel" also has been able to in 2006 to atttack southern Lebanon, but we all remember the Winograd report,,,,,,,But know, sometimes recklessness is required

you even couldn't war against hizbollah, Hizbollah is a small river from Iran ocean, even u.s. like to connect with Iran! and you speak about war with empty hand and lazy troops that escaping from military service!!!!

#16 Check who has the balls fighting an 8 year war against an American backed and supplied Iraq.

Israel survived after wars against 3 arabs nation which were much more closer to her then Iran. Iran have an old army whith an anciant technolegy. The Iran army can't arraive to Israel they only can bomb her from far, meanwhile Israel have the ability to crush the target inside Iran. Think about it, Iran have more to lose if Israel will active whith attack.
