31. Preemptive attack on I-RUN
Armand ,   Los Angeles, USA   (02.04.12)
Jericho II and a tidal wave of UAV's followed by consicutive waves of Bombers will rain hell on the Mullahs! Destroy IRUN's GRID infrastructure and highways to set them back 20 years or more otherwise an attack will be futile. BOMB the sites with a chemical substance unpleasant enough and unfriendly to humans that will take 30 to 40 years to clear,....(BAD SMELL?) Let few generations pass and allow the general population of IRUN get rid of the ''ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALIST SCUMS'' Let the general population discover that there is more to life than the 72 virgins or the ''CLOWN in the WELL'' Thanks to technology in 20 years or more life will be too much fun for any BOZOO to want war!
32. bonzzoo
b uzz ,   sydney.Australia   (02.04.12)
You all War monnggers !!!!!don’t care about human live’s go get a life!!!
33. #20 Lies, lies and more lies....
Robert ,   Australia   (02.04.12)
It is a figment of your imagination. It's almost amusing to witness a threat of war in response to an invented verbal threat. How thin-skinned is it possible to become?
34. THE BEGINNING OF ISRAEL'S DESTRUCTION.....
CALI CAL ,   Los Angeles, CA   (02.04.12)
GO AHEAD AND TRY TO BOMB IRAN, HEZBOLLAHS AND HAMA'S THOUSANDS OF ROCKETS ARE READY TO BE UNLEASHED ON ISRAELI POPULATION CENTERS AND IRANS SHIHAB'S ARE READY TO CLEAN UP ANY MESS LEFT OVER. ITS WAR TIME. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FIREBOMBING.
35. Clear USA and Europe will do zero
David ,   USA   (02.04.12)
Seems that giant burden will once again to fall to the tiny, little Jewish state of Israel. Too bad USA cannot take care of this since we have the 30,000 ton bombs and the right equipment. Not shocked that European is hiding its head in the sand like always.
36. #12
Trev ,   Canada   (02.04.12)
A tactical strike on Iran to delay their nuclear program is possible for Israel on its own. However Regime change in a nation with 10x the population of Israel is much more complicated if not impossible. Russia and China are dead set against regime change for fear they may some day be targetted for their totalitarian regimes. There is no appetite in the U.S. or Europe for another long drawn out conflict like that of Iraq or Afghanistan. An unstable Iran is an unproductive Iran and unfortunately they are the worlds 4th biggest oil producers. Perhaps the best way to go about regime chance in Iran would be to come up with some sort of alternative fuel source. If the world didn't need oil there would be nothing to finance Irans Nuclear program.
37. 70-30 will cease to exist in the near future ,maybe one r
Sami ,   Lebanon   (02.04.12)
more generation , and this is not because Arabs will destroy it. No it is because ; 1-israel hold within self-distraction seeds. 2- Its history of creation 3-Hostile and heterogeneous for its culture neighborhood environment 4- will be big burden for American to keep pumping money in its economy. Strong America is the oxygen for Israel. 5-jews live better among gentiles.
38. The only thing that you can
Harrybaby ,   Canada   (02.04.12)
Be 100% sure of is that all the details in this article are incorrect. Do you think that intelligence officials would give all this detail to a left wing elitist TV station? How stupid do you think everyone is? When Israel decides to strike, very few people will know how and when. They won't be broadcasting it over US television.
39. what a shame that
Barney ,   USA   (02.04.12)
the Iranian people have to suffer because of this regime. in all conflicts there is collateral damage. i am sure there are many fine Iranian people who wish they could be free of this idiot, evil, regime but can't take action out of fear.
40. Where are our friends now?
Psheaf ,   Liverpool UK   (02.04.12)
Why are the allies i.e. NATO not doing this job? they have the power and capabilitiy. Israel is caught between a rock and a hard place. If they do it they will be vilified yet again by the western allies , if they don't we know what the end result will be! unfortunately, either way it's a lose lose situation.
41. Sanctions against Iran is a waste of time
Arthur ,   lilongwe,Malawi   (02.04.12)
Let me first salute the MOSSAD for their covert operations in Iran.if these big brains(MOSSAD) have gathered enough information that Iran is building nucrear arsenals then there is no need to waste time but knocking it down with full force & if u may need mercinaries to back up, am ready come & get

43. Too much talk is not good. If you must do
Israeli ,   Israel   (02.04.12)
it, don't hesitate, clean up the mess. On the other hand, to the Iranian muhllas' inflamatory declarations together with that of the monkey president that Israel must disappear, my simple and undivided answer is NEVER !!! No monkey president or long-gown primitive mullahs can ever tamper with the biblical command "Am Israel Hai !"
44. my suggestion
Yael Schlichting ,   Raubbling - Germany   (02.04.12)
If you cannot take out the site itself, take out the surrounding infrastructure! Black out the area, by destroying all energy related installations. No electricity -> No production!
45. Let's see! Haman, Hebron, Haman, Hebron, BB says
Kerwood Derby ,   Frostbite Falls, MN   (02.04.12)
HEBRON! expel the enemy from Hebron. Who is the enemy? With a self-pronounced Iron Fist BB and Barak have said that their evil edicts will be obeyed by those that they serve and destroy. Migron,Haman,Migron,Haman!expel the enemy from Hebron. Who is the enemy? With a self-pronounced Iron Fist BB and Barak have said that their evil edicts will be obeyed by those that they serve and destroy. And those that serve those they are to protect are now sent to destroy those they serve and are sworn to protect will destroy those that BB and Barak disenfranchise in Hebron and Migron. Iran be damned. Haman rules with an Iron fist and evil edicts in the land of the Jews own name already.
46. To those blind warmongers
sipahi ,   Istanbul   (02.04.12)
who suggest to leverage nuclear weapons on Iran... You are so dumb. You cannot nuke any cm2 of Islam land. If you do so, you will unite whole Islam world, from secular Turkey to extremist Taliban, from Sunnis to Shia. No government can stand against that. And if you unite Islam, game will be over for Israel. If I were in Israel's government' shoes, I would take actions to deepen the gap between Sunni and Shia blocs, a struggle which is already on the way. Turkey-Egypt-S. Arabia (unfortunately) against Iran-Iraq-Hezbollah and Syria.
47. Like this -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (02.04.12)
I Quote - Asked about the Iranian response to such an attack, officials estimated that it would be constrained due to both its limited capabilities and from fear that a harsh retaliation would lead to further attacks by Israel. -Yes - If they dont want the rest of the Country with its infrastructures Totaly destroyed. Arn.Sweden.
48. #46, Sipahi, You are correct. Maybe Obama will help?
Michael ,   California, USA   (02.04.12)
What a wise advice coming from Istanbul. I am impressed that you are advocating restraint. Many Israelis are more than blind. The country is led by politicians who had most of their experience as "generals," so aggressive solutions are at the top of their thinking. Luckily, the US can still pump some healthy advice to Israeli government. Yes, under Obama. I am looking forward to it.
49. #8 You funny.
rob ,   Orangevale USA   (02.04.12)
50. can't we all just get along!!
Tina ,   indiana, USA   (02.05.12)
stop all the BS an attack on Iran will lead to WWIII. russia, china, iran V USA, EU, Israel. and all of us will be caught in the crossfire. the Iranians dont need nukes their leaders are crazy enough to use them but WWIII is not the answer.
51. Iranian Preemptive Strike
7233 ,   Potomac, MD USA   (02.05.12)
With the saber-rattling, Iran may preemptively attack Israel’s military capability, but not the population centers. Recently, Iran chose preemption in dealing with Europe’s pending cutoff of oil purchases.
