1. Fraudian "SLIP"?
DOH ,   Israel   (11.17.11)
Barak hates (Jewish) Jews (and being born Jewish) just as much as Iran and Hamas do. Ask any psychologist to explain... this one is simple.
2. Really, really dumb!
Reuven   (11.17.11)
3. This is SO funny
s B   (11.17.11)
Go Barak-the world laughs at you people.
4. Sarah B - if you read this
RONY ,   USA   (11.17.11)
what did I say about this last week? As long as u threat people with NUKES, you only drive them to want to have ones.
5. Iran wants nuclear weapons so it can...
Robert ,   USA   (11.17.11)
Iran wants nuclear weapons so it can dominate the Middle East, clear and simple. Barak was saying that, though he shouldn't talk so much. Iran has long had it's eyes on the Caspian Sea oil as well as the oil producing states Barak mentioned. On second thought, maybe he didn't talk to much.
6. "We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are".
Salma ,   Palestine   (11.17.11)
many zionists tend to view things not as they truely are, but in the context of their own preconceived notions and prejudices.
7. STUPID BARAK
(11.17.11)
What a SHMOK!!!!!!!! SHMOK BARAK RESIGN NOW NOT TOMORROW
8. fire.ehud.barak.org ; Maybe it's time?
Hippocrates ,   Earth   (11.17.11)
9. Barak's problem?
tiki ,   belgium   (11.17.11)
Barak is completely in love with his own image, voice & brain. Big mistake on all accounts.
10. How come Politicians do not quit
David ,   On this planet   (11.17.11)
when they are ahead, if Barak was ever one.......That man looks like a jack ass, every time he opens his mouth. Poor BB
11. This is called a blackout...
Prof. Sigmund Freud ,   high above   (11.17.11)
NEVER MIND...!!! It is not a helpless case.
12. To: No. 4
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.17.11)
Oh, I read this. I read everything. I'm sorry -- did you have a substantive point you wished to make? I don't see one in you post; sorry. Craft an intellect, and post again. I realize it will take years, but I am young, healthy and very, very patient.
13. Barak-lose canon
Brod ,   USA   (11.17.11)
It shows that Barak knows nothing about Islamist-Jihadism and the threat it poses not just to Israel but to the whole Free World. It also shows that he knows nothing about the fanatical Ayatollahs and their regional and world ambition. Where was Barak when the fanatical Islamist-Jihadist-Ayatollahist regime in Iran threatened to wipe off Israel not once but repeatedly to the world? Israel needs a new Defense Minister to deter its enemies.
14. Barak
MC   (11.17.11)
Barak has been trouble for a long time. If Bibi doesn't fire him now, any confidence we have/had in Bibi will disapate too This is the last straw, Barak must go!! Bibi do the right thing!!!
15. Barak should be kicked out of the gov.
Scott ,   Beer Sheva, Israel   (11.17.11)
Barak is an idiot. This is the man responsible for allowing Hezbollah to take over Lebanon when he let them chase Israel out of S. Lebanon. Now he can't keep his mouth shut over Iran. He reduced Labor to its smallest size. Now that he's no longer part of Labor, Bibi does not need him & his 4 seats in the Knesset.
16. A Storm in a Waterglas !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (11.17.11)
"The defense minister's excessive chatter reflects irresponsibility and causes damage to Israel's ability to thwart the Iranian nuclear threat," MK Zvulun Orlev (Habayit Hayehudi) said. Orlev called on Netanyahu to "put Barak in his place and order complete silence on the Iran issue." Comment - Talkback Nr 43 and 44 in the link - http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4149441,00.html Further - Major-General (res.) Oren Shahar said, "It's obvious we must under no circumstance say we understand Iran's need to arm itself with nuclear weapons, because understanding means legitimizing Iran's armament – something we must strongly condemn." Comment - You err - se talkbacks nr 43 and 44 above. Further Nr 4. Read above. Nr 6. So - how do you see things ? As you are or as they are -? Yes I know !. Arn.Sweden.
17. Stop dumping on Barak.
leo ,   usa   (11.17.11)
He simply stated the obvious. Like it or not, but from Iranian perspective they have enough reasons to nuke up and only fool would deny that.
18. Olmert is gone. Livni is virtually gone. When will we be
meir elazar   (11.17.11)
rid of the useless idiot Barak. He has caused more damage than good.
19. All will be forgiven when Ehud takes action vis a vis Iran.
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (11.17.11)
20. truth
GG   (11.17.11)
I did'nt see anything wrong in Barak's words. If I was brought up in iran, i would do the same what iran president does.....
21. This idiot has to go
ibrahim el-Awal ,   USA   (11.17.11)
To think that Ehud Barak is advertizing for Ahmadinejad is mind boggling. Ehud Barak career came to an end. Have him reserve a place in a nursing home.
22. Such an anachronist!!
Ayeush ,   Gibraltar   (11.17.11)
Maybe he owns some of the very militaristic acumen to be a military leader, he is quite a phenomenon in the political sphere. He could'nt graspthe concept of party responsibility; as a Ramatcal he was the one who always gives order and dream up military concepts; that is why he was the most decorated Israeli soldier. However,his an anachonism when it comes to behave in a level plain field with others in politics. He lacks any semblance of political discipline, the guy however his military achievement is a menace to the survival of the Jewish State. He was a failure as PM, he was also a dictator as ahead of a Part-Labour- so he should resign before he brings the cloud down on the country, literaly.
23. same old Barak..
eddie ,   london Uk   (11.17.11)
The same Barak who said he understood the palestinian intifada, and would himself be fighting one if he were a palestinian!
24. Israeli counterTHREAT:
moshe ,   Tivon   (11.17.11)
Ehud Barak forgot about WHY Ben Gurion's generation wanted nuclear weapons. To those who also forget or "forget": That generation of Jewish survIvors wanted an Israeli counterTHREAT to the rest of the world: the destruction of Jewish Israel would surely unchain the Israeli ULTIMATE weapon ! moshe
25. not surprised at all by lBarak
vicky ,   ashkelon   (11.17.11)
When he was PM he wanted to give Jerusalem away. Can never understand how he got elected head of labour,; but then again they are full of lefties. Perhaps hes getting donations from Soros!
26. When nuclear holocaust happen, land is cheap there
Zico ,   Brazil   (11.17.11)
Once the nuclear holocaust happen in the middle east, I will buy lots of land there. My grandchildren will thank me a lot someday.
27. Barak Iran statements
weisgarber ,   Knoxville   (11.17.11)
"Fraudian slip" Nice, accurate "play on words."
28. #12=#4 U R Sooo cocky, Stoopid.
Tarbouche ,   Aswan   (11.17.11)
You think you have intellect? I dount it . lashing out ar someone else with insults? U R pathetic and deluded . Try to be less vulgar
29. Sometimes God works in mysterious way.
Nicomedian ,   London-UK   (11.17.11)
30. Barak Interview
David ,   New York, NY   (11.17.11)
I live in the USA and watched the entire interview. His comments on Iran nukes was not the only problem and not even the biggest. Instead of presenting the composed image one would expect of the Israeli Defense Ministerwhose responsibility is the life and death of the nation, he comes across as this blowsy "Aunt Blabby." He also said that there is no difference between Oslo accords and the position of his govt on the issue of Jerusalem and final borders which is just a plain lie. The nation deserves someone so much BETTER and NEEDS someone so much better. A COMPLETE DISASTER in substance and character.
