1. All this shit reminds me of Saddam's "walls of fire"
Proud Redneck ,   OH, USA   (03.26.12)
...and other doomsday-style secret weapons and surprises, which are not more than hallucinations of sick, hateful and frightened minds of corupt Shiite pedophiles masquerading as "clerics". As it turned out, in Iraq everything vaporized once the shock and awe started, and it will happen again, this time in Iran. I dream of seeing the pictures of Ahmedinejad and his entourage of robed criminals, burnt and thrown off rooftops, while this genocidal scum hangs. The Teheran thugs are afraid, VERY AFRAID. And as usual, crazy Shiite tyrants babble and threat, invoke irrational images of Holocaust and use every primitive tactic to impress the enemy, which they provoked in the first place. I say, kick their pathetic ass, right where it hurts. If Iran is after surprises, it will get plenty of them pretty soon ;)
2. Don't underestimate your enimies.
Daniel ,   Tracy USA   (03.26.12)
Well it is kinda cool they have motorcycles. I would never under estimate any ground force resistance, however I also believe that if Israel takes any action they would have reviewed, and have up to date intelligence on Iran's capabilities. Iran is beating their chests again saying look at us we are strong don't mess with us. At some point, when ever they near the red line Israel has drawn out they will have to answer. Quite a bit of their military has soviet made equipment. Remember the deal they talked about with access codes to Soviet gear. Also during Desert Storm the US used the signals emitted from Iraqi Soviet equipment as a homing signal. The hard part is going to be how to not get stuck with boots on the ground and how to strike quickly and get out. Iran is good at ground war on it's boarders not long distance conflicts. I know they say their response would be over whelming, but distance is the killer. Also the regime might not have all that much support if only nuclear sites were targeted with minimal loss of civilian lives. a difficult task but one I would think was thought over quite a bit. At this point I feel like it is put up or shut up for the Israeli government. We have all complained, and sent letters and said they must stop but it doesn't look like that will happen. So get it over with before all of it goes under ground and makes it ten times harder to neutralize.
3. Intimidating
Emmanuel ,   Montreal   (03.26.12)
Wow that picture of those two soldiers on a motorcycle is very intimidating!
4. Ohhh...Monty Phytons next film ?! LOOOL
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (03.27.12)
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
5. Wha idiot is suggesting a ground war in iran?
tf ,   herzliya il   (03.27.12)
It there is an attack, it will be air strikes, cruise missiles.and the sort... Only people talking about a ground war are opponents of a US or Israeli strike. And they are just fear mongering trying to create anxiety over an Iraq/Afghan redux.
6. Sleeping Giant Iran will be no pushover
Steven Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.27.12)
"If you follow this all the way down, eventually I'm putting boots on the ground somewhere. And, like I tell my friends, if you like Iraq and Afghanistan, you'll love Iran." — Retired General Anthony Zinni
7. Wait a minute
AGM ,   Somewhere in Africa   (03.27.12)
Are they going to use motorcycles against Tanks and APCs or even infantry men with semi automatic rifles in an era when drones provide look-ahead capability in the battle field. Wait! do you know how easy it is for a ducking soldier to shoot a motorcycle, there is a big disadvantage to this motorcycle tactic
8. What do you expect?
Socius ,   Calgary, Canada   (03.27.12)
It's an Israeli site. It's obvious they'd want to show an image that would discredit their opponent. They're not going to show a nuclear warhead. Unless its in an article about Iran's civilian nuclear energy program. A picture is worth a thousand words after all. ;) There will be no war. Not sure why both sides keep barking louder and louder without ever taking a bite. But don't worry about it. Cheers folks.
9. Iran is paper tiger
E,M Jordan is Pales ,   SF   (03.27.12)
Everything is propaganda but Iran is hollow.
10. Scary motorcycles!
Akiva ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (03.27.12)
What a joke! I'm sure those bright red motorcycles are well camouflaged! T-72s were a turkey shoot for Israel in the 1980s in Lebanon. When israel or the US attacks Iran won't even know what hit them.
11. Nearly spit my coffe!
Ze'ev ,   usa   (03.27.12)
That picture of the RG on their, well camouflaged, motorbikes is worthy of The Daily Show. Thanks for the laugh.
12. Firing RPGs from a motorcycle
SparkyTheWonderDog ,   Falls Church, USA   (03.27.12)
Step 1: fire RPG. Step 2: What the ...whoa %$# clatterbangcrash. What a bunch of maroons.
13. Likely scenario
The Pipe Smoker ,   Toronto, Kanata   (03.27.12)
I would like to see this: motorcycle vs F16 T72 vs B52 (doing a carpet bombing) Poor Iranians. They need to get on YouTube to watch videos of modern weapons....but, I guess. They can't.
14. To: No. 6
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.27.12)
Oh, you are one prize fool. Do you remember how poorly Iran acquitted itself against a vastly inferior Iraq? One million casualties, and a hugely humiliating draw. Iran's grand battle plan? Throwing twelve-year old boys under the treads of oncoming Iraqi tanks. Motorcycles. Oooh. That will most ASSUREDLY terrify Israel's orbiting platforms prepared to fire nuclear weapons. Why, I bet those platforms are shaking in their -- er -- orbits. How does someone with your degree of extraordinary stupidity remain alive? You have one of the worst cases of terminal idiocy it has ever been my severe displeasure to observe. Perhaps you might wish to put your money where your stupid mouth is, and fly to Iran an offer up your services. Being so "smart," I mean. You have absolutely no idea, do you, of the multi-pronged degree of punishment that Israel can bear to bring upon Iran. Watch and learn, sweetie. Watch and learn.
15. To: No. 2
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.27.12)
Whatever makes you think that Israel is going to get roped into a ground war? It wouldn't be much of a challenge -- Israel would roll over them, fast -- but why resort to a ground war when you have platform-based satellite warheads and long-range missiles quite capable of doing the job without endangering a single Israeli soldier? Including, if Israel so wishes, nuclear warheads? Iran is a gigantic puffball. A good wind will blow them away -- and they have nothing in their arsenal that Israel cannot counter easily. In fact, Iran has nothing in its arsenal that won't fall on Iraq or Jordan. You need a dose of reality, son.
16. i would recommend them to try it
david ,   new york   (03.27.12)
iran would be flattened if it tried to fight the US like that. i know they are trying to look big for internal consumption, but are iranians really so stupid to believe the drivel that come out of the nuts running the country?
17. There are two plus million Iranians in Southern California
Tony Mendel   (03.27.12)
They have sleepers with their dirty bomb suitcases - just one of these will kill thousands and the USA in the state it's in presently, will immediately bend the knee. Just imagine, after three thousand Americans were killed, the population's response was to elect a Mohammedan-origin president! They have absolutely given up.
18. Is this a new Borat movie?
Shep ,   Memphis   (03.27.12)
19. We're scared!!!
John ,   Boise, Idaho USA   (03.27.12)
Just wondering how those motorcycles will do against a wave of naphalm which creates its own oxygen and can't be extinguished turning it's victims into instantaneous ash and their trailbikes into a burnt heap of molten tin, or perhaps they can dodge 100,000 cluster bomblets, each capable of making pink slime out of their drivers and that's just the opening round. Current estimates are that the entire Iranian military farce can be eliminated in about 8-10 hours...depending on whether it bridges daylight savings time etc. and whether its a Monday morning wake up call. Have a nice day!
20. That Photo Made Me Laugh Sooo Hard!!!
Ezra ,   United States   (03.27.12)
Those four dudes on the motorcycles...LOL!!!!! WW1 helmets; shotguns, dirt bikes (like...REALLY LOUD dirtbikes), two guys to a two wheeler. My gosh, these people are actually serious! LOL! HA!!!!!!! What a pack of clowns!!!!!!! THIS CANNOT BE REAL!!!! PLEASE TELL ME THOSE PIX ARE FAKE!!! PLEASE!!! I think i wet my pants from laughing so hard! And OF COURSE....a 'ground offensive' against a NUCLEAR FACILITY!!!! Yep! Sounds like a REALLY good plan!!!! LOL! As if thats a plan. Uh-huh. What a pack of Bozos!!!! Good 'ol Iran! Who are we going to poke fun of when they're obliterated? So sad. Well, it was a long running circus for sure.
21. fluff & bluster
Ari ,   Kfar Saba   (03.27.12)
It took two weeks for the US to completely destroy Iraq's conventional military capabilities. Iran couldn't defeat Iraq in 10 years of combat. Nuff said.
22. iran preparation for ground war
Rich ,   collierville, us   (03.27.12)
wow! They even have cute little motorcycles to fight with. impressive!
23. if the stuff hits the fan
Barney ,   USA   (03.27.12)
iran won't even have a chance to respond. they will be lit up like iraq was. maybe they should review some video of the shock and awe program or maybe they already have and their answer is "revolutionary" guards on honda minibikes!
24. Motorcycle Teams Solve Iran's "Security Issues"
Laughter Best Meds ,   Marina Del Rey, CA   (03.27.12)
Now we know why Ahmad monkey man says "Iran Doesn't Have a Gay Problem"... Hilarious photo!! I'm rolling in laughter...
25. Iran has no clue what is about to
Stephen in New York   (03.27.12)
befall them. (Neither do I)
26. Self-Defeating Exrcise
Ehai ,   London. UK   (03.27.12)
The military foces of Iran are under a curse from GOD. Anyone who draws a plan against the State of Israel is cursed by GOD. To hold the mentality which plans war against Israel is self-defeating. Iran would be destroyed in a war with USA and Israel. The Iranians have already fired the first shots in this war. Rockets from Gaza and Lebanon. Therefore Israel is absolutely justifed to exercise her right of self-defence and strike at the Iranian enemy. Let's all pray it doesn't happen. Since all wars begin in the minds of men,itisin the minds of men the defences of peace must be constructed. Let's all pray. Jew, Muslim,Christian, whoever, because more things are wroughtby prayerthan thisworld dreams of.
27. Not very surprising if we know about it.
nibor ,   israel   (03.27.12)
28. IRAN IS A TOUGH ENEMY BECAUSE RUSSIA AND CHINA ARE SELLING
MAN ,   KNOWHOWLAND   (03.27.12)
29. sure sounds...
mark ,   usa   (03.27.12)
Like iran is covering all its bases in sci-f land. 4km lasar cannons. Lol. One can only hope iran has them. A weapon system sure to have a battlefield half-life measured in minutes. Maybe, the mulletheads in Qom should pop in a dvd of the matrix and study the assault on Zion and note the robotic mini guns. Cause the chances of robots kicking your door down, are increasing by the day. Maybe that is what is in the x37 a communitication array to drone drive these robots. Point is mulletheads in Qom, you have zero idea of how the usaf and navy will evisorate your ground forces. Zero period. It will be as if your are armed with spitwads. On the heels of that colossal defeat how will the promise of the 72 virgins keep your shock troops in the game and not be needed for repressing a civilian uprising tried of the Qom lies.
30. iran is paper tiger
mahmood ,   tarzana ca us   (03.27.12)
iran is not an arab country to loose a war in only 6 days
