3. Bibi is a weak man....
Eli ,   Jerusalem   (02.25.12)
so we must all pray for him that he develops a backbone and does not commit to anything. All options must be on the table. Obama is a snake. Why would Amerika ONLY agree to tougher sanctions if Israel commits not to attack. The sanctions have not worked so far. And if "tougher" ones do not work, what do we do then, just smile and wait for a nuclear bomb on our heads. We can onlt pray that Bibi grows a pair.
4. WOULD US MILITARY BLOCK IDF ATTACK ON IRAN?
ZIMBI ,   NJUSA   (02.25.12)
5. I do not wish to shut the eff up Mr. Netenyahu...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A./ Israel   (02.25.12)
Your request for silence on Iran is the request of an incompetent leader. Step aside Bibi and let me show you how it is done...
6. Rather doubtful that Bibi will commit to anything.
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (02.25.12)
But he will be be bucking for tighter sanctions nonetheless.
7. Wow Sarah B...I love your courageous Jewish a$$...lol

8. Silence on Iran
Harold ,   USA   (02.25.12)
Netanyahu's war mongering propaganda on Iran never worked and wanted to let Iran think twice before making a bomb. He failed and even his people and followers do not trust him anymore. Now he is going to meet President Obama who for sure will not agree with his dangerous and damaging policies.
9. #3
Harold ,   USA   (02.25.12)
Netyanyahu's internal and foreign policies never worked and he has to go home and check if he still has all the official gifts given to him and his wife while he was a prime minister in the 90's.
10. Wait for the Yankee green light, Bibi
Cameron ,   USA   (02.25.12)
Only with the big dog at your side can you truly neutralize The Persian Menace.

14. Tewll Obama to kiss off.
(02.25.12)
15. Don't pledge anything to Obama
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (02.25.12)
He doesn't deserve any promises from Netanyahu or the Israelis. He will not protect you...so why bother?
16. #13 Chris Rettenmoser
Sarah B ,   U.S.A./ Israel   (02.25.12)
The post at no. 5 IS mine. I do not like Netenyahu's indecisiveness and therefore I believe that he should step down. If he can't do the job, others can...
17. War mongering
Matt ,   New Zealand   (02.25.12)
From an outsiders view such talk of war is appalling. What right do you have to attack anyone? Disgusting. Can anyone blame Iran for feeling threatened with such talk constantly coming from the us and israel. They have as much right to arm themselves for defensive purposes as any country.
18. US Back Isreal ALL THE WAY
US Dad ,   Dallas, Texas   (02.25.12)
Bibi needs to take action NOW, not wait until the summer. As an American I COMPLETELY back Isreal and believe we as a nation should not only stand with Isreal, but should join in on the attack. Obama DOES NOT represent the majority of this country. I hate leaders with no back bone and that is what we have with Obama. It is time to take out Mahmoud Imanutjob....I do not wish harm on the Iranian people, so we shouldn't bomb, just send in a USMC or Navy Seal unit and take him out just like we did Bin Laden. Whatever the case.....Bibi go for it and eliminate Imanutjob once and foreall.
19. all this play acting between US and Israel
bollocks   (02.26.12)
is designed to make Iran sweat. Does anyone take this nonsense seriously? The US begging Israel not to attack. Israel saying it will if sanctions are not greatly tightened. This is all staged play acting for Iran's sake. Its becoming a joke for anyone with half a brain.
20. ***Sarah***at 16...Oh, sorry...I join your
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (02.26.12)
argument...
21. You is a good lil lackey, Rettenmoser #20,
Cameron ,   USA   (02.26.12)
22. 17# They arming themselves to wipe Israel and the Jews
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (02.26.12)
from the face of the Earth. Has your head been in the sand for all the wonderful proclamations that come from the nutter of Iran??? Hitler didn't mince words either when it came to the Jews demise. If this has to be a war of the West against another religious theocracy like Japan and the Worshippers of Hitler...then so be it. We know which side you come down on.
23. Obama a Proven Anti-Semite
Beth Goodtree ,   NYC, USA   (02.26.12)
Never forget who Obama's best friend and advisor was for 25 BEFORE his presidency -- the Rev. Wright. This man has a long history of rabid anti-Semitism, easily seen in his speeches and sermons that can be found on the Web. Once Obama was running for prez he realized what a liability the Rev Wright would be and so the Rev bowed himself out of the picture. But one cannot have as a best friend and advisor someone whose opinions are diametrically opposed to yours. Therefore it is not unreasonable to view Obama as being of the same mind as the Rev Wright, even if he keeps quiet about it. But I guarantee that if Obama ever gets a chance to kick Israel under the bus and not lose his re-election for doing it, he will. If he wins re-election, Israel will be in big trouble for the following 4 years, as Obama will have nothing to lose. As Jews, "Never Forget" means more than merely remembering the Holocaust. It means remembering who our enemies are, even if they've kept their true feelings, advisors and allies hidden for a number of years. When you think 'Obama' think 'The Rev Wright'.
24. Matt #17 If NZ were threatening
Jim ,   Milwaukee, USA   (02.26.12)
...to nuke Sydney would you call that self defense?
25. AN Israeli strike would benefit US also.
bob k ,   Orlando USA   (02.26.12)
Its weird listening to all the chatter on TV news here which focuses only on the consequences of an Israeli strike in negative terms: retaliation by Iran against the US, higher gas prices! Don't these morons understand that Iran has preached 'death to America and to Israel since 1979. Israel alone stopped Saddam Hussein and Assad from getting nuclear weapons. Its just as much in America's interests as Israel's to destroy, repeatedly if necessary, Iran's nuclear capbilities including so called peaceful lones like the Busher reactor. Only a non-nuclear Iran is acceptable.
26. He is right in this !!!.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (02.26.12)
The PM made it clear that the plethora of recent statements on the issue by Israeli officials and former government members is highly dangerous and ordered them to put an end to it at once. "We must stop this chatter. It causes damage," Netanyahu said. "We should not be providing too much information on this issue." Arn.Sweden
27. joint us-israel iran statement
haroldburbank ,   canton, ct usa   (02.26.12)
obama will not be re-elected if he supports an israel attack on iran, period, and he will be sued by his own people for war crimes if he orders the us military to attack iran.
28. Nr 16.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (02.26.12)
As regarding nr 13 I would have agreed on that one. And as accordibg to nr 16, I am not sure this is Sarah either, but nr 5. And I do believe that the Israeli PM will do what is Required of an Israeli PM in this Matter, when the Time fits as He sees it, even if I agree to that He should have done the job a long time ago. Everything openly in Poltic is for Show only. God bless Thee Sarah if this still is you. Arn.Sweden.
29. I will bless those who bless you...
TWO Dots ,   USA   (02.26.12)
I will bless those who bless you and I will curse those who curse you. -.. Look at what has happened throughout history to every leader and nation that was the enemy of Israel. Use your head! Pick the winning side!
