1. Friendship of Iran?
emanon ,   USA   (08.22.10)
What friendship? What support has Iran shown the US?
2. He is looking for a fight
Sheik Rattle & Roll ,   USA   (08.22.10)
Is that the same Army in Iraq that collapsed in less than thirty days or the same Iraqi army that abandoned its leader (Saddam) in less than thirty days. I am just happy we didn't fight the same Iraq Army that sprayed bug spray ( Chemicals) in Iran's face and butchering hundreds of thousands of Iranians in 8 years of conflict that gained either side nothing. I am not saying Iraq war was pretty but when you invade a country occupy its capital and hang it's leader it sure sounds like a victory,
3. Time to prove Israel has nuke weapons.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (08.22.10)
4. #2
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (08.22.10)
The Iraqi army that butchered the Iranians and used "bug spray" was Saudi funded and American supported. What Ahmadinejad is talking about is Obama's retreat from Iraq this week, which he attributes to the Iranian supported resistance.
5. This is what happens...
RichinBoston ,   Boston USA   (08.23.10)
when you surround yourself with military strategists who are too afraid for their own lives to tell you the truth. Saddam made the same mistake and it resulted colossal failure for him and his regime. To not know history is to repeat it. The war is already lost...Tehran just doesnt know it yet.
6. verbal diarrhoea
X'   (08.23.10)
The islamonazi genocidal bigot has a big mouth and is projecting. It is really iran that is weak. It is too bad that the Iranian population will have to suffer because of the delusional stupidity of the terrorist psychopaths in power in Tehran. It's time, for the general Iranian population to rebel before Israel and the U.S. decide to make Iran into a lifeless radioactive graveyard
7. Ahmadinejad is losing ground at home.
leo ,   usa   (08.23.10)
He is looking for any way to strengthen his failing position and survive next election. The easiest way would be to beat Iranians into patriotic frenzy and rally then around himself. Ahmadinejad shell not have the satisfaction of Israel/US first strike.
8. Never in history before a country begs for being attacked..
Neo ,   EU   (08.23.10)
9. That's what LSD will make me think too
Eyal ,   USA   (08.23.10)
10. Yup... Hes got it right... the Zionist are Afraid
RJBH ,   Methil   (08.23.10)
otherwise they would have done the deed... all they do is whine and hope the US will do what they want them to.
11. if Israel had a real friend!!!!!!
robert ,   farmington,wv   (08.23.10)
if Israel had a real friend , Iran would not be talking this bull , if America did not have Bush the lame duck and Obama the Muslim we would not be having this problem...you can only keep the leash on the dog "Israel" for so long before it attacks...may the lord forever bless the state of Israel..
12. # 2 - it sure sounds like a victory,
split ,   USA   (08.23.10)
Obviously , freak ,...
13. The Mahdi man has won the right to taunt.
Harry Wright ,   UK   (08.23.10)
The US will not stop Iran from its nuclear weapons program. It did not stop North Korea so there is no reason to believe that Obama will stop Iran. He will go down in history as the US president who allowed the mad mullahs to have nuclear weapons while he advanced all kinds of nonsensical reasons to promote the idea that the program is not a threat to anybody.
14. GO GET 'EM, BIBI! AND BE SURE TO FINISH THE JOB...
american ,   US   (08.23.10)
15. All middleeast countries must have nukes
Hisham ,   Ramallah   (08.23.10)
to protect themselves from israel...
16. No leadership in the US, what next ?
AlbertoGA ,   St. George, USa   (08.23.10)
The free world has never been worse serve than now. Abomination is at the helm. Ayayay !
17. oh shut up ya annoying hairy turd
(08.23.10)
18. he is absolutely right
chaim.s ,   brooklyn ny   (08.23.10)
with Israel having a leftist self hating pathetic coward as defence minister,Iran has nothing to fear
19. :: Rest easy Ahmi. Jews are not hot-headed like you are
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (08.23.10)
Israel will strike at its choosing time and select the targets. You want to invite Israel to attack when you think you are ready but as usual you will be surprised when it comes. Sleep well in your bunker tonight because tomorrow you will wake up 6 feet under.
20. Ahmadinejad
Abby ,   OP,KS   (08.23.10)
Let the little monkeys tongue wag on both ends, we pulled Saddam out of a hole in the ground and if Ahmadinejad continues his rants he too will look for a hole to hide in. A vast number of Americans support Israel and if this monkey thinks the time is right to test America's support of Israel, I SAY TO HIM KEEP RUNNING THAT POISON TONGUE and find yourself a hole to crawl into. The fight of the American people to defend Israel would be unparalled.
21. To Borrow a Line from the Gladiator...
Raz ,   Rishlach   (08.23.10)
"The time for honoring yourself will soon be at an end."
22. Permission denied
Samuel Prime ,   Canada   (08.23.10)
You get the sense that both Iran and Hizbullah are trying to urgently provoke Israel to attack them. Ahmadinejad wants war to gain support at home and to bring about -- at his delusion -- Israel's destruction. Hizbullah wants Israel to attack Lebanon so that they can distract the Lebanese from their murder of Hariri and remain in the coalition. But ... Israel knows that ... and it won't give them the war they are looking for at the time that they wish. When/if Israel attacks it will not be in the way or time that they wish (as Abe Lincoln once said).
23. Israel DOES NOT lack courage to attack Iran
Israeli 2   (08.23.10)
It reminds me of a Bruce Lee movie when a clearly lesser opponent taunts him, Bruce Lee (Israel) just observes until necessary to strike. The venom of a scorpion(Iran) will not kill an allert man (Israel).
24. Man of peace?
Adrian Rodriguez ,   Glenside USA   (08.23.10)
This is a man of peace can't you see this. All he wants is to do is to give the Middle East some light. He sends his ambassadors of peace to different parts of the region. He arms them with the tools necessary for initiating his peaceful view to others. It is easy to make up this stuff its called propaganda. His actions show us that his intentions are totally different from the scenario that I just fabricated. Israel is not alone, the God of Abraham will protect her against all foes.
25. Sadly He Is Correct
Dan ,   USA   (08.23.10)
26. To #3
David Segal ,   Philadelphia, USA   (08.23.10)
The only way to learn just what Israel has in nuclear arms is for her enemies to give up their quest for her destruction. So long as Iran and Syria (and their proxies in Gaza and southern Lebanon) remain committed to wiping her from the map, they will have to live with the uncertainty of just how much damage Israel could inflict were they to try. Egypt and Jordan have come to terms with Israel; Saudi Arabia has given up the fight and Lebanon would just as soon do the same, were it not for the Palesitnians living in the UNRWA camps. What are Iran and syria waiting for, if not victory in a war that only they want?
27. Wonder how many nuclear missiles have been QUIETLY
Umm El Kul Naqba   (08.23.10)
redirected towards of Teheran. I am sure that while the mad dog barks there are many nuclear powers quietly redirecting their weapons.
28. This monkey man and his backers aren't worth it
USA   (08.23.10)
The entire Iranian nukes bussiness is a setup and a bait for Israel. Let US and EU and Saudi Arabia deal AhmdiJihad.
29. Israel too weak?
Brod ,   USA   (08.23.10)
Well, Israel would have to show to the world and to Iran that it has the punch to take them on. Failure to do so would mean be prepared for a nuke Holocaust.
30. Beware of Elul 15, which in 2010 is August 25.
Rivkah   (08.23.10)
If the Ezekiel chapter 32 war and Zechariah's thermonuclear war are this year, that is a very likely time it will start with Iran launching an unmanned missile or plane with a lead barrel and ashe (fire, evil) inside it at the plain of Shinar which is in Iraq. Israel will also be hit. That would no doubt trigger a US and UN attack on Iran. Zechariah the Prophet looked up and saw (in a vision) a flying scroll in the sky about 34.3 feet long (missile length) and 5.5 feet in diameter (missile diameter). Then he said, this is the curse that will afflict the entire land of Israel. Everyone that steals and everyone that swears falsely by my name will be destroyed by it. That indicates Yahweh will protect the righteous but will not protect the unrighteous. Isaiah chapters 65 and 66 say Yahweh will not protect swine eaters or those who eat unclean foods. The Torah laws live. Isaiah chapter 43 says Yahweh will walk His people through the fires and the floods. They must adhere to Yahweh's laws as best they can. Zechariah says all Israel will be hit with these lead barrels with evil inside them. Two-thirds of Israel will die, so make peace with Yahweh and be prepared to meet Him if you are not righteous in Him already. But the Bible says Elam (Western Iran) will be so obliterated the people will not be able to live in that land and will migrate to all the nations of the earth. Messianic Rabbi Michael Rood believes this is the year of the destruction of Damascus, so it must also be the year of many missiles hitting Israel with something that is fire and evil, possibly nuclear inside the lead barrels if this is the year. Tear your garments and put ashes on your heads that Eloah might protect Israel.
