1. IGNORE OBUMMER
LAWRENCE BADEN FOUL ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (02.06.12)
Israel must do what it needs to in order to survive and we don't need permission from Obama nor Hilarious Clinton .Thankin' you.
2. No Evidence?
Larry ,   Cleveland, Ohio   (02.06.12)
There is no evidence that Iran has the capability or intent to launch an attack on American soil? What about the attempted assassination of the Saudi ambassador to the U.S.? What about Reza Khalili? The former IRGC soldier that worked specifically setting up terror networks on U.S. soil and later defected to the U.S.?
3. This is for show only !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (02.06.12)
I Quote - Obama: Israel hasn't made decision on Iran Comment - What else could he say - The Truth ?. Arn.Sweden.
4. Rest assured Israel and the world ...
J Galt ,   Hidden Valley, USA   (02.06.12)
Barry S. and his wife will take several vacations, play many rounds of golf, and eat copious quantities of $48 dollar hamburgers while considering what should be done about Iran. This will allow much time for Iran to complete its nuclear arsenal. Then they will try it out on eith Israel or teh USA or maybe both at the same time. And of course, Barry and his wife will need to extend their vacation, play a few more rounds of golf and eat a few more kobe beef hamburgers. Sleep peaceful tonight world. Barry S has a good handicap and his wife has an equally great appetite!

6. "israel will attack iran by june." charles krauthammer said
debra ,   usa   (02.06.12)
this weekend on the tv program "inside washington." there is no reason israel has to be a sitting duck. the world is tough, but the jews are tougher. NEVER AGAIN.
7. Deliverance
Doug ,   Ohio USA   (02.06.12)
Deliverance will come from G~D for the Jewish people, not from Obama. We love the Jewish people and bless them in the name of YAWEH. Do not but any faith in Obama.
8. Obama, instead of destroying other countries..
Lobo ,   USA   (02.06.12)
Please fix ours. Sincerely, someone who voted for you in 2008, and won't be making that mistake again.
9. Iran has no intentions to attack on American soil
observer ,   Egypt   (02.06.12)
first time I hear that Israel is not American soil. thank you Obama.
10. THE LIAR needs a catastrophic attack on the U.S.,
Devorah   (02.06.12)
an attack (such as an EMP) that would destroy the U.S. infrastructure and result in millions of deaths. If this should happen, Martial Law would be imposed immediately, the election would be postponed indefinitely, the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights would be suspended indefinitely, and FEMA would essentially be in charge of the U.S. FEMA's concentration camps are already in place and ready to go all over the country. The elite would go underground, and the remaining citizens would be arrested by the military and detained in these camps "for their own good" and against their own will (sound familiar?) Obama signed a law to this effect only a month or so ago. Obama would, therefore, remain President indefinitely, thereby able to complete his mission of total U.S. destruction since there are no provisions for the reinstatement of the U.S. Constitution in such an emergency. Go ahead and laugh. I know this might sound crazy, but it's no crazier than the crapstorm that comes out of THE LIAR everytime he opens his mouth. Oh, and who's to say the attack would have to come from Iran?
11. If Obama has his way, Israel won't decide...
Steve   (02.06.12)
.....until it is too late.
12. Are you sure,Obama????
canadian ,   canada   (02.06.12)
How do you know???I imagine if Obama was told something wouldn't it be confidential???In case Israel made the big decission they would be stupid to tell it to Obama much ahead of time because he cann't be trusted.
13. obumma hates the Jews, is waiting for iran to nuke Israel.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (02.06.12)
If Israel doesn't defend itself, it will be at the mercy of terrorists with nukes.
14. I hope the attck takes place at night, so when I wake up
tom ,   tel aviv   (02.06.12)
I'll be able to go to work as usual. I have quite a load on my desk and it woul've been mostly inconvinient to stop, only because we have to take out Iran (or Pakistan, or the whole United Arab Failures...) So since the nights are getting shorter, please hurry ! Thank you in advance. Tom
15. What should he have said?
harrybaby ,   Canada   (02.06.12)
Ask a stupid question, expect a stupid answer.
16. Pathetic mistake for a leader of the United
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (02.06.12)
States. He can't make a decision about being a pacifist???? He wants no more wars??? Then disband the military and quit telling everyone you will have some kind of invisible military mission to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons. At least Jimmy Carter hid out in the White House. This little baby hides out at golf courses in Hawaii every chance he can get. His idea of military intervention is taking a 4 million dollar vacation and acting like he is the president. He'll probably tape a speech for the presidential debates while vacationing in Hawaii.
17. to
huaasin ,   KSA   (02.06.12)
MR.obama-what-trying to iran-assassination-saudi Ambassador-in washington-this is the biggest evidence of the desire of iran-attacks to wage on us soil-Unfortunately there is the fact-with Obama-iran do not worry the reaction the US
18. Neither Adolf Hitler produced more evidence
Tomi Budapest ,   Budapest Hungary   (02.06.12)
US: There is no evidence that Iran would wipe out Israel off the map! This evidence and the willingness to do so is just the same size as the Germans produced before WWII concerning the people of Jewish faith.
19. Is the President being naive or disingenuous?
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (02.06.12)
He knows darn well he's not going to get much of a heads up, if any at all.
20. Obama fantasy !
AlbertoGA ,   St. George, USA   (02.06.12)
Israel is a US State, well ! Israel has to decede alone when to hit Iran. This is not an easy thing to do. But Haverim we are talking here of the very survival of Israel and maybe of the Jewish people in the Diaspora
21. Again?
Gene Graczyk ,   Santa Rosa, CA USA   (02.06.12)
For all of you anti-Obama responders, go back a few months when Israel desperately needed US support at the UN. Bibi said Obama deserved "a badge of honor" for sticking with you ungrateful people when few others would because of your extreme positions on so many issues. He did and this is the result? He does not hate "the Jews". He does not hate Israel. He is however our elected head of state in the USA and we are his first responsibility. We have fought two bloody and expensive wars for over a decade. Perhaps our Israeli hawks will tell their GOP friends their plan for paying for this next adventure? A war tax on millionaires? A cessation of aid to Israel? God told Moses that you were "a stiff-necked people with a forehead of brass" who turned on Him once they left Egypt. And then again once they were in the Promised Land. Do you always turn on those who try to help?
22. #10 Devorah, I'm not laughing and it's not crazy
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (02.06.12)
But, it is a rather sad ending for the American Jews that voted for The Big O.
23. Better Option
Zivron   (02.06.12)
Nuclear proliferation by year 2065 could lead to nuclear wars no one can be certain.So the USA and Russia willl be forced into a race to maintain supremacy.The Jews need prepare for the scenarious .
24. Obama had spoken to Turkish Erdogan before making irrational
Adar ,   London   (02.06.12)
Irrational decisions to whether Iran should be attached, Erdogans words are vital for obama, turkey is another problem second Iran
25. Whether Jerusalem has or has not decided, it is not for...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (02.06.12)
...Mr. B.H.Obama to announce it!! Mr. Obama was elected to be the USA's President and not Israel's or for that matter Israel's Prime Minister. It is high time Mr. B.H.Obama ceased telling us, Jews, what our government should or should not do, or when and how our government is to conduct its affairs and engage in the governance of Israel, including the ensuring of its security and the lives of its citizens. Enough with this arrogance derived from built-in hostility towards the independent nation-state of the Jewish people, its leaders, institutions and by extension, towards the very people whose nation-state Israel is: the Jewish people!!
26. Dr. Bill Deagle says it is suicidal for theUSAto attack Iran
Rivkah   (02.06.12)
Iran will launch cruise missiles of WMD and dirty nukes (half life 10,000 years for radiation from dirty nukes) at the Eastern Seaboard cities of the USA if Iran is attacked. Iranian war ships are lining up along the US Eastern Seaboard outside territorial waters. But merchant ships can also launch a HEMP (high altitude electromagnetic pulse attack) on the US. Then Iran's allies who say they will attack the USA if Iran is attacked may do just that. The only good news for Israel is that he said the Mousad has nuclear bombs in every major city of the world that can be triggered by a cellphone call to go off. That is why Israel still exists, perhaps. The fear of attacking Israel is the aftermath. That is true of the USA, too, since there are weapons in space that can hit any target in an hour with a nuclear weapon on Earth. An HEMP attack worldwide would shut down these capabilities, perhaps. The website www.warningusa.org does show there are ELS Scripture code matrixes about nations being blackmailed with nuclear weapons if the UN gets control of US nukes.
27. Obama's October Surprise
Hendrick ,   usa   (02.06.12)
Has anyone considered an October Surprise on Iran by Obama to guarantee his re-election?
28. #22 Noodles
Devorah   (02.06.12)
We are trained to think in a linear manner, but lateral thinking is just as necessary. There will be those who will say this is the stuff of conspiracies. I would not disagree with them. However, the material I discussed was extrapolated from U.S. government records available on the internet in print, through Youtube, C-Span, etc. The only question now is how far would Obama go. By the way, this did not start with Obama. It began shortly after WW2 ended. Obama is just the current torch bearer, and he's very close to the combustibles. And yes, Noodles, it would be tragic to lose the Jews who voted for him because they are still our brethren. Misguided fools? Absolutely. But they're our misguided fools. Let's hope the election comes, Obama loses and Iran is effectively, efficiently and conclusively dealt with. However, my hunch is that, if he loses, he will not go away and, in fact, may wield more global power than he does now.
29. #21 Well said
esnuffnstl ,   USA   (02.06.12)
30. But Iran will NOT stand down on it's nuke
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (02.06.12)
