...the size of his you know what? (just look at the picture!)
2. When iranians rioted in the streets at the last election,
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (02.01.12)
obumma gave them NO hope, NO help and now the pig leadership is building nukes that will require the destruction of the country. iranians and maybe Israelis will die because of muslum obumma.

Bunnie, Stop with this non-sense. Obama is not a muslim. I'm tired of hearing this crap. Don't you worry your pretty little head. The U.S. will eventually have it's war with Iran (in about a year or so). You just have to be patient. Before going to war, one must take time to make preparations, but you Americans are always in such a hurry for your latest source of entertainment. Unfortunately, it will come at the cost of us Israeli's.

Bunnie is right! Obama said himself he was a Muslim during an interview with George Stepanopolus ( sorry if the spelling on Georges last name is incorrect). George had to correct him and ask "Don't you mean Christian?" No Christian or Jew would make a mistake like that. Instead of your worrying about Bunnie's head you should worry about your own. You come across sounding like an arrogant stuffed shirt.
7. Phony regime is starting to sweat
Steven ,   San Francisco   (02.01.12)
Hopefully the phony regime's days are numbered and the educated and truly patriotic Iranians who are the majority will again run that country and not be persecuted any longer by the Islamofascists now in power.
8. Increase Defense Budget 500%
Dan ,   Florida   (02.01.12)
Follow Obamanomics and spend every dollar or Euro. Spend it all, drive the country into bankruptcy, deprive people of food, water & electricity. Foment an uprising such that Iranians will hang the black-eyed Mullahs from the same gallows they hang homosexuals, women and children. Yes, spend LOTS more money on defense.

Amnon ,   Iehupetz   (02.01.12)
Yes he is a muslim ,do you know that he removed his watch and ring and other jewelery on ramadan and beside that, a Christian is not watt he said he is till he is baptaized and has a certificate you should know you live in Rishon haham gadol.
10. It's the same OR LESS budget BUT adjusted for wild inflation
jewbie ,   AMERICA THE BEAUTIUL   (02.01.12)
Since the monkey was "re-elected" there's been 46%+ inflation, plus 45%+ unemployment/under employment, plus unhappy crowds, unhappy mullahs and very unhappy (disappointed) ayatoolahs... It's the same OR LESS budget BUT adjusted for wild inflation, thanks to his divine and brilliant leadership skills. His next defeat will be the ending of the nuke game as Iran goes broke, gets broke, and it is about to be at war...and BY THE WAY, the war IS NOT TO STOP THE NUKES, but to bury the theocracy and it's Red Guard Militia storm troopers (known as Iran's Gestapo) Definition of GESTAPO. : a secret-police organization employing underhanded and terrorist methods against persons suspected of disloyalty
11. It's moronic to call Obama a muslim, he's christian agnostic
Jewishness ,   ATLANTA GA USA   (02.01.12)
he is not a muslim, everyone knows he's a christian agnostic, maybe even atheist... but no muslim. AND if you read something other than theone book, you'd know he did send dozens of CIA teams into Iran to encourage the "Iranian Spring" topplings, but the Iranian gestapo/Repub.Guards killed, arrested maimed and tortured thousands of anti-mamouds/citizens and stopped the rebellion cold...with tortured and beaten wives and the maiming of your children, and their deaths, seems to work well against innocent middle class Iranians...that is why I see no future for present day Iran and it's theocrats... BTW/The great WESTERN powers won't bomb the nuke sites (too valuable), but definitely will topple (slaughter) the Mullahs, Rep. Guard, and of course the Ayatolahs' in their homes/holes/bases, in a blinding flash, before they can even get off the potty. The Ayatolah's face was flushed, but his broad shoulder's saved him.
12. #1 Sizing up..
JP   (02.01.12)
The very same thought went through my mind! Really tiny, heh?
13. Whats Mr Monkey Face saying in the pic?

My weapon is bigger than yours!

Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (02.01.12)
There is no such thing as a Christian agnostic. Saying such a thing is like saying you are almost pregnant or that you are only a little bit pregnant. I guess you are calling Obama a liar because he let it slip out in a public interview. He didn't mean to say it but he said it. No Christian or Jew would make a mistake like that.

16. ahmadinajad's defence budget .
UNCLE JOE ,   CONN USA   (02.02.12)
maybe the money will come out of the sweat of his arse ...after he walks some particular streets and corners in tehran long enough ,and have learned enough the'' TRICKS OF THE TRADE'' who knows . but he must shave it all first ,you know.
17.  more sense than you might think
tom ,   toronto, canada   (02.02.12)
strange as it may seem, it does make sense for ahmadinejad to double the military budget. sanctions will only increase the already high unemployment rate, putting more disgruntled people on the streets. putting them into uniform reduces unemployment, but also increases the government's control over them in a way that you cannot do with civilians. and he can pay for it either by printing more money, or depleting his foreign currency reserves, or borrowing - he can always negotiate a default later, if there's anything left. but it doesn't matter, because the first priority of any organism, including political ones, is self-preservation.
