1. Believe US Intelligence!!??
Dan ,   Florida   (01.05.12)
The CIA missed the death of Kim Jung IL, missed soldiers surrounding his train, missed the frantic phone calls, missed the heightened state of their military, the Syrians building a nuclear reactor, Mubarak being overthrown or even the Iranian revolution. Now they want us to believe that Iran is far from building a nuclear reactor. C'mon, can we all take a reality break before Iran detonates a nuclear weapon and suddenly the CIA figures out that Iran has a nuclear weapon?
2. Loop-hole to non- assist Israel coming up.
Roland Seener ,   London England   (01.05.12)
3. The "expertise" on Iranian Bomb is more ridicule worthy

4. What?
Steve ,   USA   (01.05.12)
Sounds like a left wing organization to me. What a weak article, left wing propaganda at it's best! Why don't we just sit down with Iran, they don't want to cause any problems....blah blah blah. So it's just us right wingers that think somethings going on there? Ya right. Another attempt by the left (and Reuters) to avoid the truth.
5. Nuclear Exchange
Zivron   (01.05.12)
A nuclear.exchange would be avoided at all costs a containment of Iran prevents. Israel is five million against seven billions with a few hundred million Yitros noachides and Righteous .The Jews need deterrant capacity.
6. Who are they kidding!
Daniel ,   Tracy USA   (01.05.12)
So they took uranium they already had and created a fuel rod yippee.. What is of concern is the covert way they continue development. The fact they want better centrifuges to make concentrations beyond 20%. The fact they were fast tacking their long range missile program. Their defiant attitude toward the UN, US and everyone else. Personally I am more worried about a dirty bomb with a uranium processed to about 50% more than I am of a ballistic missile landing in Israel or anywhere else. They can certainly reach that point much faster than a real nuclear bomb. They also don't follow other protocols, and are not being transparent.
7. Hit them hard now, and ask the tough questions later
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (01.05.12)
8. The US dont want to strike Iran - ? -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (01.05.12)
- Western experts' testimony fits well in time with the new sanctions. ONLY AS A LAST RESORT - ?. No wonder if the Saudis are to lose confidense in the US. Arn.Sweden.
9. Wake Up! Iran doesn't need to make the bomb!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (01.05.12)
They can buy it on the open market from North Korea, bandits in the Ukraine and other ex-Soviet satellite countries and, no doubt, Putin, Lieberman's "friend", would chuck some in too!
10. OH,YAH?.............................................#7
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (01.05.12)
You think it is a statue to go and hit? Relax yourself in Coney Island and leave the rest to sensible people to deal.
11. Iran already bought a few from N Korean Takeaway Franchise
Alan ,   SA   (01.05.12)
12. #10 No, they're not a statue
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (01.05.12)
But my money says they don't make half the showing that you and others seem to think they will. As a general rule, I'm not in the habit of falling for Islamic bluster, as they very seldom back it up.
13. To: No. 10
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.05.12)
No, Iran is not a statue, but the last last time Iran was engaged in a war -- which lasted eight years and resulted in a humiliating draw against a vastly inferior Iraq -- Iran's grand battle plan consisted of throwing twelve year old boys under the treads of oncoming Iraqi tanks. Iran claims only 500,000 casualties in that eight-year debacle, but I am VERY reliably informed that the real losses numbered over a million. Two points: 1. Do you REALLY think that Iran -- keeping in mind that all its boasts and claims are pure fiction -- would stand a chance against Israel, let alone against a unified consortium of Western nations? 2. Iran is not sensible. The mullahs and ayatollahs believe their own foolish rhetoric. Iran is toast. Of course, you lack the intellect to appreciate this rather obvious fact -- although I think on some subliminal level you do. Isn't that why you remain safely ensconced in the U.K.?
14. What experts? Know-it-all Sarah B says otherwise...
Marco ,   Spain   (01.05.12)
15. #13 Sarah B.S
(01.05.12)
The "last last time"... I assure you Sarah B.S that Iran of today is not the same as Iran of the Iran Iraq war. You got a little taste of what Iran is like in 2006...

Like Sarah's answer to your stupid post.Why do you torture yourself by posting on a Jewish site-is it a "religious" thing?You really are -nothing.

john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (01.06.12)
In 2006 israel was put under enormous pressure not to turn Hez -Leb into dust and that is why they withdrew.But next time it will be different-total destruction of Hezbull.
