Peter   (04.07.12)
Europe lived for 40 years within reach of the Soviets missiles and even today there are still the russian nukes.So i would say they know it very well how it feels
32. I heard your exact words in the thirties.
To #16 ,   Israel   (04.06.12)
I would think that after 50 million dead the world would have learned something. Obviously every generation produces dumbkopfs that need to learn history all over again. Listen to Santayana.
33. Shows that the US is an IDIOCRACY
Larry ,   Or Yehuda   (04.07.12)
34. STUPID American Jews
Howard ,   Kirkland USA   (04.06.12)
It is reported that 70% of American Jews will still vote for ObamaThey are some of his biggest supporters as well as fund raisers.This is just one more example of the decline of US Jewry. Unfortunatly they are trying to take Israel down with them.Thier faith is liberalism and Obama is their messiah.
35. Todays Oxymoron
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville USA   (04.07.12)
A truthful Ayatollah!
36. Nonsense !
Jack M   (04.07.12)
The question is not whether they have decided to build a nuke or not. The question is if they HAVE acquired the capacity, they can go ahead assemble the nuke in just few days. Countries like Japan, Germany etc have the capacity to build a nuke within few days, but won't do so out of ethical reasons. The Ayatollahs can't be relied on and once the have all the enriched uranium, parts & technology ready, they can assemble the nuke within 3-4 days.
37. Just like
Baxter Clary   (04.07.12)
Just like Obama brought 'democracy" on Egypt in the form of the Muslims Brotherhood & Sharia !
38. Cant belive the Iranians
Frank Grant   (04.07.12)
Cant believe the Iranians nor Obama, both are hardcore liars. Unless Iran stop enriching all Uranium immediately and open all Nuclear sites including military sites to inspection, Israel should attack immediately. No point in wasting further time on Obama's hot-air emissions, he is clearly against Israel.
39. Obama
Etienne Prinsloo ,   Nova Scotia Canada   (04.07.12)
Is this not the very man that sneakingly promised the Russians that he would make huge concessions on the USA's nuclear arsenal once re-elected? With most American women and Jews voting for him I can only see darkness ahead for not only Israel but for the whole Western world.
40. It's interesting that
Pjones ,   Canada   (04.07.12)
so many Americans fell for this contrived war effort in the first place. Your leaders could tell you Switzerland is a terrifying enemy that's going to nuke you, and all it takes is 3 weeks of CNN repeating it before you're chanting death to switzerland.
41. Obama and ERDOGAN !
Mark ,   T.a. Israel   (04.07.12)
He should ask Erdogan why the Turks use the derogatory expression of ACEM OYUNU which means PERSIAN PLOT when they are duped !
42. why?
daniela ,   panama   (04.07.12)
Obama reminds me so much of Jimmy Carter? not because both are democrats. Maybe because both had trouble dealing with Iran.. and maybe because both have shown they do not know how to deal with the Ayatollhas. Usually, intelligent people, learn from previous mistakes.. It seems Obama did not learn anything and he will end up as Carter..a nobody that try to be somebody in the international arena, and does not get anything.. Poor Obama, as Carter he will last only one term.
43. Fooled by empty promises, yet again?
suz ,   Australia   (04.07.12)
Or a stalling tactic to pacify. A promise from the regime in Iran is the same as a promise from Syria. As if we didn't know it.
44. Who in the world is surprised!? [end]
BUTSeriously ,   Australia   (04.07.12)
45. 'US to accept civilian nuke program in Iran'
jacques ,   nsw   (04.07.12)
and in recent survey conducted in America 60% of the Jewish population said they would vote for Obama, how do you explain that?
46. bomb iran
frere ,   toronto, canada   (04.07.12)
enough already. please bomb iran now. case#1; nuclear sites totally damaged. scenario#1; iran so strong, retaliates, destroys israel, end of story. scenario#2; iran so weak, shoots 5 missiles at israel every day for 5 years, economy stalls, israelis jump ship, ... end of story. case#2; nuclear sites partly damaged, iran recovers in a year or two, builds the BOMB, israel's actions backfire, iran attacks israel to non-existence, israeli subs wipes out iran, total mutual destruction, ... end of story. does the world need this? really? enough already, all talkbackers, pls shut up
47. Must be a problem in translation
shmulke ,   w coast USA   (04.07.12)
Iran told Obama "Mr. President, we just need nuclear energy to generate power here in Iran". Obama didn't realize that Iran really meant global, not electrical, power.
48. Obama
BK ,   Virginia, USA   (04.07.12)
He's in fantasy land if he thinks Iran will keep their nukes peaceful. The man will do anything to get re-elected and American Jews will follow him over the cliff.
49. American Jews must be gullible!
Johannes ,   Norway   (04.07.12)
It's unbelieveable that 62% of you are going to vote for Barack Hussein Obama! That man is today's Neville Chamberlain. A weak America is a disater to the western world, and peace will not be the result at the end of the day!
50. Obama Cave in
DEB ,   Wash DC   (04.07.12)
Qn: Are Jews in the US and elsewhere going to be stupid enough to support and vote for Obama again?!! He can't be trusted. He has no moral reference.
51. Obama may be willing
Yehuda   (04.07.12)
Obama may be willing, but Israel is NOT ! Period.
52. Errr...someone said
Maxwell H   (04.07.12)
Errr...someone said the same thing 1939....and six million died.
53. Change NPT
Mark of Lewiston ,   USA   (04.07.12)
Of course, Israel would have to join the NPT and agree not to proliferate nuclear weapons and adhere to the other protocols of nuclear weapons states, but then Israel could propose changes to the NPT. The US drafted most of the NPT. So allowing another member state to abide by the NPT is according to the treaty. But Israel can do as it wills. That includes starting a world war. nobody will stop Israel. For the US to attempt to violate the NPT would not be an intelligent move.
54.  Obama Doesn't Get It
loops ,   Davis, USA   (04.07.12)
President Obama does not understand that Isreal is the United State's best ally in the Middle East. He continues to undermine Israel's ability to defend itself. Here stateside, there are allegations that the Obama administration may have leaked the confidential information that Azerbaijan had granted Israel access to its airfields. This undermines Israel’s ability to defend itself because it tells Iran where an attack may originate. President Obama is trying to delay Israel from attacking Iran because it would hurt his re-election bid. If Israel attacks Iran, oil prices will soar and slow the economical growth in the U.S. President Obama is more concerned about being re-elected president than the safety of Israel. I believe Israel will strike Iran before the U.S. presidential election. President Obama is likely to condemn this attack before the election because he and the Democrats do not want to alienate the Jewish vote in the U.S. But if Israel strikes Iran after the presidential election, President Obama is less likely to support the attack and will likely blame Israel for any economical downside in the U.S. It’s astonishing that President Obama and the world does not recognize that a nuclear-abled Iran is a threat to the entire world. Delaying any strike allows Iran to continue to develop nuclear technology. Even if the nuclear plant is destroyed, Iran will have developed the technology to start over or sell the information to other rogue countries. The United States need a president that understands this threat and who will defend Israel. This is why the safety of Israel and the world may lie with the U.S. 2012 presidential election.
55. this might break the stalemate
roxanne ,   haifa/san francisco   (04.07.12)
this deal will allow the iranian leaders to convince themselves that they won. they didn't back down; they still have a nuclear program. im sure a lot of persians are afraid of the brink these turds have taken this.
56. Obama allowing "civilian use" nuclear program
Rhonda ,   Chicago, USA   (04.07.12)
Absurd, absolutely absurd. I was incredulous when I heard this yesterday. So much for having Israel's back. I voted for him 3 years ago because I couldn't fathom the potential of Sarah Palin potentially being in the White House. I'm Jewish and an American and I wont be voting for Obama in the coming election. I appreciate all he's done - ie, the UN votes, but he totally undoes my support on US domestic issues by this demonstration of naïveté of Iran and other dynamics going on in the middle east.
57. #1 Amazing
Oleg ,   USA   (04.07.12)
You still do not get it, are you stupid or what? You had war in Europe, that took millions of lives, and still do not get anything? You are an idiot, that is because of you millions died, this is you who makes people suffer! this is you who creates a chaos! Imagine Hitler was destroyed at the beginning of his career, whould WWII happen? Of course not, you can' deny that. Now imagine Iran built nuke what will happen next? Just think for a little bit, think! You should have at least some kind of brains. Go to school, sit and study History, sit and sudy what islamists are doing all over the world. But you won't get this anyway, you are eoropean, that is why Europe will be destroyed, when islamists will get nukes. Because of you with your liberalism without common sense.
58. BEGIN TO ACCEPT THE REALITY
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (04.07.12)
As you will not be able to do anything!!
59. # 58
les ,   canada   (04.07.12)
dear mahmood. i aprecciate you comming here to get some real news, but i can see you are unable to comprahend the situation. so why don't you just go back reading your "good book", and plan the next tube bombing..... :) have a really nice day.
60. Acceptance of Iran's Nuclear excuse????
Glenn Koons ,   Long Beach   (04.07.12)
Of course, our MSM will not print this article. It will not judge Obama's motives. But, many other outlets will. 1. How can anyone trust the DOD and State when they believe the Iranians want only peaceful building of nuclear componets? After decades of hate and palaver, it seems only a naif like the President would do so because he believes his charm will keep the imans and mullahs from going all out to ...destroy Israel and America. The voters in America rarely look at foreign policy as a real issue but this one is and America will suffer greatly if another 4-yr. term is allowed to Obama and his Quisling like views on not only America's international security but our allies as well.
