1. You are lucky the USA save your behind
reza shah ,   tehran   (11.03.11)
Iran was about to preempt you with a strike that could scar you badly
2. to the 'character' behind post no. 1
Gabriel ,   Leiden, Netherlands   (11.03.11)
Then don't be amazed when you wake up in the morning to a huge bang, and find yourself gazing at something resembling a huge mushroom cloud when you look out of the window. Now that would really sour your day, would it? Erev tov.
3. Hah - Hah - Hah- !!!.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (11.03.11)
Thanks for the Prolonged time said the Iranians. Even if this is a cover for the strike, the cost of damage will only increase on the Western side. The Damage will increase with all hesitation, as it has done for many Years. This Hesitaition mounths the Problem of when to strike unexpectedly, and that moment is lost to the West, Iran is ready. Arn.Sweden.
4. # 1
Birdi ,   Israel   (11.03.11)
Yes sure, by sending us balloons of hot air!! Iran will not go nuclear. Remember that. Now go find a safe place to hide in.
5. "U.S. NOT SEEKING CONFONTATION "
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (11.03.11)
Who do they think they are folling.
6. That is clearly a Gulfstream not a Boeing
Ben ,   USA   (11.04.11)
F16s and a Gulfstream G550 Eitam CAEW (in footage) not a Boeing 707 Oryx.
7. Just a matter of time
Tommy ,   Toronto   (11.04.11)
"US 'not seeking' confrontation with Iran" Blah, blah, blah ! The old game of he said she said. Just like the old saying: Pay no attention to what I say but, to what i do. The economy is in the toilet and about to be flushed. Sadly, time to make war....
8. Ridiculous asumptions about sanctions & diplomacy
Joe ,   Canada   (11.04.11)
There is no chance for sanctions to have an effect on a regime that is much more irrational than even Syria's & deeply ideologically driven. And this is not taking into account all the loopholes Iran has to circumvent several sanctions, even more so than North Korea. Does Washington believe that a UN report on more Iran violations of security council resolutions will cause a sudden unified action of all member nations to fully isolate Iran? I would bet NO. The time lost in pursuing failed, dead on start, policies with a dictatorship is helping Iran getting closer to reach its objective, assuming it has not yet reached it by securing nuclear weapons from a North Korea eager for foreign currency.
9. Was it something he said?
Robert ,   Australia   (11.04.11)
Threatening to attack a country because someone doesn't like you is the height of paranoia. Armed to the teeth paranoids are the greatest threat to world peace, Mr Netanyahoo.
10. OH, NOOO......
Ariel ,   USA   (11.04.11)
Not seeking confrontation with Iran? Our Beloved Leader promised that Iran is not going to get nuclear weapons. Please do not tell me he did not mean it. So, are we supposed to Hope for the Change, or just change our hopes?
11. Sanctions
Roxy ,   israel   (11.04.11)
Sanctions wont work when countries are still doing business with Iran in secret! Like Russia,N.Korea,China and even our Allies have companies doing business with it! Unless the whole world complies with sanctions they are WORTHLESS !!!!!!
12. UK
joe ,   london   (11.04.11)
the people of the UK wiil not let our governments attack iran!
13. @SHAH Your proxies attack Israel all the time.Islamic Jihad
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (11.04.11)
Islamic Jihad,Hamas, Hezballah etc. Maybe its time to get a little of your own medicine. Israel, covers its own back.YOU use others to cover yours
14. The truth now El Baradei is out. Back in Egypt inciting
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (11.04.11)
against Israel to get ahead in Arab politics,using the usual step ladder
15. Cool story
Andrew ,   USA   (11.04.11)
Cool story. I've heard similar tales of "doom" and "destruction" and "extermination" in relation to the Jewish people throughout the past 3000 years. None of them have come true, thankfully.
16. israel without usa is nothing
inja   (11.04.11)
17. Everyone knows an attack on Iran...
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (11.04.11)
would greatly enhance Obama's re-election bid.
18. As Nr 1 has pointed out -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (11.04.11)
- this is the only thing to be afraid of - a first strikr from Iran and her dogs. Hopefully this will take the way of Nr 2s talkback. Arn.Sweden.
19. #16
Richard Terry ,   USA   (11.04.11)
That is where you are sadly mistaken. Israel can defend herself, you need to read the bible and it will tell you Isreal will not be destroyed.
20. The disappearing balls
Brod ,   USA   (11.04.11)
When the Ayatollahs bark, Obama runs for cover. Israel and the Free World cannot count on him in facing a barking dog hellbent on the pathway of destruction. America cannot afford to have a Commander-In-Chief with disappearing balls.
