Did you just start reading the News? Where were you for the last 5 years? Iran has threaten to wipe Israel of the Map and you suggesting Israel should sit idle while they build the bomb? Are you even listening to yourself? Are you that naive thinking that: 1. Iran is not building a bomb (to try to wipe Israel off the map) through their patsy Hezbollah? 2. Iran is a peaceful nation who isn't capable of trying to nuke Israel 3. Once Iran builds their first bomb, they will not threaten other nations, including Europe and the US to get their ways? You are in a dreamland, more like never never land. Get a grip, you sound like a a little fool. BTW, both nations never stated they have nukes, where did you get this information?
32. #31 - I made an error saying through Hezbollah,
Eyal ,   USA/ISRAEL   (07.16.11)
I meant to say Iran will build the bomb and will use their patsy Hezbollah to detonate it in Israel, when the next war comes with Lebanon, unless we take them out now.
33. Writes poor fiction.
Gideon Reader ,   USA   (07.16.11)
Mr.Baer must have a new and most likely, unreadable book soon to be flogged. He is America's Stella Rimington sans the "strappy spike heels and call me Liz".
34. 10 Begin said never again but saddam did'nt bieleve him

35. The U.S. dragged Israel into war in Desert Storm
Yaniv ,   Israel   (07.16.11)
Scud missiles were raining on Tel-Aviv. A war we did not start and had nothing to do with.
36. to 35 Relax
Marge Betty Leona ,   Goose Island   (07.17.11)
Why complain ? You no longer need to worry about Saddam Hussein.
37. Typical and expected
John ,   Alaska   (07.17.11)
Baer is solidly anti-Israel, and solidly pro-Iran. According to Baer, Iran is effectively a superpower, is unbeatable even without nukes and the US should drop the sanctions and make a truce with Iran. This interview is simply a logical continuation of the same hogwash that Baer penned in _The Devil We Know: Dealing with the New Iranian Superpower_.

Perhaps you need to be reminded of the japanese attack at Pearl Harbour..You didn't take seriously the threats from Japan at the time. I am afraid to apply the same isolationist mentality of that time. Israel can't afford a new Pearl Harbor and nether the US. So take your head out of the Jersey sands and wake up to reality, my friend. This common enemy won't walk away peacefully into the sunset.
39. Consider the source
Ron ,   OC, US   (07.17.11)
The source is KPFK a long time mouth piece for the Pals and has had anti Israel diatribes for decades. Why I do not donate to Public Radio. Democracy Now, while pulled from Los Angeles TV outlets ran long enough that I do not donate to Public TV either. Then there is the Juan Williams episode.

Birdi ,   Israel   (07.17.11)
Iran striking Israel would make your day, wouldnt it?
42. Robert Baer, What a wisecrack for an Ex-CIA
Maxime ,   USA   (07.17.11)
Rubbish! nonesense!
43. The spy who did nothing, knows nothing
Felix   (07.17.11)
Robert Baer, an idiot for 21 years in the CIA. and learned NOTHING. Carter, an ex failed Pres. roaming around the world, loaded with advice and an empty suitcase, worth less than Baer. Today's US President Obama ; confused, incompetant, impotant, the product of islamic upbringing and a failed Harvard education .Maybe it's just a Harvard education; showing to America and the world the result of years of ' wise' advice from a Jeremiah Wright, a Louis Farrakhan, a Bill Ayers ; paragons of deceit, hate, antisemitism.

Birdi ,   Israel   (07.17.11)
Nope, Yaniv is not complaining. He is stating true facts. History cannot be changed to suit your mood. (shavua tov, Yaniv)

"If" Israel attacks Iran, Iran will be flattened like a parking lot. It wont be able to re-build a mud hut!

48. no. 29 "funny" thing
Parsa   (07.17.11)
Guess you have to be an American to post such comments. If the Persians didn't exist, we wouldn't have had any jewish state. Cyrus the Great? (and no, I'm not thinking about Hannah Montana.....)
49. #28; John, WOULD NOT WORK
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (07.17.11)
M.A.D. only works with sane people, that was why it worked in the cold war. But with people who love the idea of dying, as long as you can kill your enemy while doing that it does NOT work. The Arab world hasn't attacked Israel because it's Israel that would wipe them off the map, while Israel would still survive. When Iran gets nukes that will change the dynamic. With 1.2 Billion Muslims, and there proven willingness to kill their own people that changes. They use their people as human shields now, blow up Mosques full of Muslims to kill their enemies. Just as a few examples. So what makes you think they wouldn't sacrifice 200 million Muslims to kill all the Jewish people in Israel? Or 500 Million Muslims to destroy another enemy? That would still leave 1 Billion Muslims, and 700 million Muslims respectively.. Remember they simply don't think they way the West does (that includes you or me), your forgetting that, and it can cost you your life. I once heard a Muslim say if the whole world was destroyed and 1 Muslim lives, we won! That's the mindset your up against, wake up and smell the coffee.
50. We are too broke to fight Iran!
Daniel ,   philadelphia, US   (07.18.11)
Without raising taxes drastically, we do not have the money to get into another war. We borrowed money from China to rid Iraq of WMD's and get Bin Laden in Afghanistan. We might even be in default by the fall.
51. To: No. 30
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.18.11)
Don't worry; were this to happen, it would be strictly "blue and white," as we say in Israel. The United States would only get in the way. Perhaps you recall that the full faith and credit of the United States Armed Forces were beaten by a handful of Somali warlords using World War II vintage Garand rifles and a couple of rusty grenade launchers. The United States has not acquitted itself terribly well in Afghanistan or Iraq. The last two victories the U.S. can claim are Grenada and Panama. Really, really impressive. Just stay out of our way. As to your pithy comment about not increasing the number of condolence letters or the amount of burials .... may I remind you that Israel took out Iraq's nuclear reactor. Ten years later, you had Desert Storm. Would have been quite a different war, with a nuclear Saddam. Think of all the American servicemen and women that did not come home in body bags, and show a little gratitude and a little respect.
52. "Sarah B", you need to see beyond the...
Persian CAT   (07.19.11)
foam. Israel could not pull off the Ozirak bombing without the permission and extensive help from the US. Security the IAF routs would not have been possible without the US. Some say Iran helped too. What do I know?
