phillip ,   usa   (09.06.11)
The general has a very hard job. to seek peace and persue it is alway wise but to be prepared is also a very good idea. the world does seem to be closing in .good time to draw near to your G*d and pray for his salvation to be revealed
62. Good Morning Seth: Pakistan and Turkey are already nuclear!
Ibrahim   (09.06.11)
Pakistan develops its own, Turkey has nuclear sharing treaties with NATO and Pakistant. There are currently 90 B-61 (30 KTon) nuclear weapons in Turkey.

Omar ,   Canada   (09.06.11)
Doesn't matter how technically advanced Israel's army is, Turkey and Egypt are enough alone to win. This isn't little skirmishes between the IDF and Hamas/resistance groups. We saw how effective Israel's army was against Hezbollah in 06. A guerilla group. A real army would have it's way with Israel. And Turkey is quite advanced itself. One of the best navies on Earth.
64. Re "Gathering Storm"
John Lewis ,   St. John's Canada   (09.06.11)
"War and plague always return, and they are never expected." This time was may be expected, though not by all.
65. Devine protection
Morty ,   Canada   (09.06.11)
You need to read the Bible. It does not end well for those who are against Israel.
66. Oh yes,Israel can and will win
Joe ,   Indiana,US   (09.06.11)
Israel ain't goin anywhere. God fights for her. Let those who would attack take notice of this and beware. You're not just fighting Israel....
67. @ 50
Abe ,   Chicago   (09.06.11)
are you for real ?? are you trying to scare people of against Islam so they believe in your freaking agenda ?

carl hooper ,   Dallas, Texas   (09.06.11)
It is not a matter of if, but when.
69. Typical
Steve ,   Melbourne, Australia   (09.06.11)
As usual, Israeli politicians, generals and security officials don't know when to keep quiet. Why insult the Egyptian military? What purpose would it serve other than to make it more difficult to secure the Sinai border?
70. #54 Pakistan has had nuclear weapons for a decade

71. re : Christians,Zionists, & G_d what.
BeeGee ,   AnyTown USA   (09.06.11)
That all depends on which side your on. My bets are on G_d!
72.  re : Israel Is dragging the entire region.
BeeGee ,   AnyTown USA   (09.06.11)
And if their were no borders, and Mexico owned the land, America, wouldn't have an illegal immagration problem. Right?
73.  30.Israel dragging entire region for war. Nonsense!
american-american ,   Ohio, USA   (09.06.11)
Isreal has bent over backwards for ever, trying to live in peace. The Arabs of the world want no part of it.
74. #30 - naive to a fault
grover ,   nyc   (09.06.11)
So let's abandon Israel and let terrorists and nation states destroy it. Then what? do you think there will be peace in the middle east? Do you think Iran and their terror proxies won't continue on to attack the US? How naive can you be?
75. #60 Michael Ca
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (09.06.11)
What do you suggest, capitulation ?
76. israel
tom ,   new york, usa   (09.06.11)
We should not support either side in this fight. We, as Americans, should wash our hands of Israel and the middle east as a whole. This will not benefit us in any way.
77. Go Old Testament
Brad ,   duluth, USA   (09.06.11)
Israel has tried nice for decades ... it wares thin. If Iran goes non conventional on Israel, I hope Israel has ten times more nukes than estimated.
78. Get a new Defense Minister
Jon Rosenbluth ,   New York, USA   (09.06.11)
We canot have a weak sister like Ehud Barak failing us in wartime. Remember that the future traitor Rabin had a nervous breakdown during the 1967 War, and Moshe Dayan monstrously gave the Wakf control over the Temple Mount. We need men of steel who will be willing to do the unthinkable.
79. Terrorist Use WMDs
Joe ,   NN VA   (09.06.11)
So quick to jump to the WMDs, why do you think they want their own nukes too. I say let them. Only terrorist are quick to use WMDs. Now that we know they want to use WMD an have no problem doing so, US Americans now see who the terrorist really are. I will be showing everyone i know this article.
80. What does this mean?
ajb ,   TA   (09.06.11)
"We discovered a new weapon, and as result of this we instructed the public to hide under two roofs, rather than only one" Can someone tell me?
81. dear "IDF" GEN.
Salma ,   Palestine   (09.06.11)
You Just Keep on Babbling.
82. Samson option in action
Todd ,   canada   (09.06.11)
I'm sure many of us still remember when General Moshe Dayan first said it: "Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother." Problem is, in a civilized world, mad dogs get put down, and the caveat with WMDs is that BOTH sides lose.
83. This American
Rob ,   Tampa ,FL   (09.06.11)
stands with Israel, And Only a blind man can not see what is coming and Only a fool waits to be hit first.. However Israel must remember, Obama, and Rev wright and Mr. Farakan wish to join the Arabs in destroying Israel and America! God Bless Israel and the USA !
84. Brian's Response
schoolmaster ,   denbigh, USA   (09.06.11)
AMEN and AMEN
85. Just the toys so far.
MrSid ,   Brooklyn NY   (09.06.11)
Keep it up Palestine, piss off the IDF enough and see what happens when we pull out the big guns, you havent seen those yet but I promise you wont be alive to hate them afterward.
86. To Mazal Tov Obama
Janet ,   Cleveland, USA   (09.06.11)
You're right they are gonna set the place on fire, but wrong in thinking they're ignoramuses. they're not stupid, but EVIL. They're gonna set us on fire, too.
87. Israel
Paul ,   Canada   (09.06.11)
Israel cannot defend it self without the help of the UNited Emirates and Iraqi Armed Forces. (newly trained) reason why the USA went to war with iraq is to destroy saddam and setup a new government ALLY for israel. Iraq is now controlled by Israel and will be used to fight all wars in middle east for israel.
88. Islamic Winter
Jim ,   USA   (09.06.11)
Israel and the leaderless US have waited too long to react. Turkey has turned, rockets coming from Egyptian territory, Islamist most likely the winners in Libya, Pakistan out of control, Iran working towards nukes. Major war is inevitable when the enemies are so emboldened. The west is losing its time to wake up.
89. Regional War
JAQUEBAUER ,   ANYWHERE, USA   (09.06.11)
Obama, the Tyrant that now runs the United States is fanning the fire as I write this. Obama and Hillary have facilitated the revolutions in Egypt, Libya, and I would bet are helping the Palestinian killers now. Obama has taken an Oath to Islam to facilitate the destruction of the US and Israel. This is why Obama let Iran continue with their Nuclear weapons program. As US soldiers kill the Taliban , Hillary is with them at the bed and breakfast talking about peace, pajamas and head rags. Most educated and moral citizens of the US support Israel. I think the next war will quickly accelerate into a major world confilct if you take out Iran. I believe you have the power to win any conflict in the region, but if it goes big, the boys that wear red stars have new weapons they need to try out. Hopefully they will be the as good(bad) as the last ones you tested for them. Obama is not your friend. Americans Are!
90. Typical Rersonse
