1. Netanyahu is 100% correct !
John T   (04.15.12)
Netanyahu is 100% correct ! The crux of the matter dismantling Fordow immediately & also handing over their stock of 20% enriched Uranium (enough for 4 nukes). All the rest - inspections, reductionof enrichment to 3.5%, "confidence building measures" and other such stuff can easily be reversed at any time when the Iranians chose. Fantastic, Netanyahu is a GENIUS ! He saw through the Obama-European sponsored time wasting charade immediately.
2. Sadly, Bibi is probably right
Yossi ,   USA/Israel   (04.15.12)
3. Netanyahu is 100% correct !
Zorgon   (04.15.12)
Netanyahu is 100% correct ! The crux of the matter is DISMANTLING FORDOW immediately & also handing over their stock of 20% enriched Uranium (enough for 4 nukes). All the rest - inspections, reduction of enrichment to 3.5%, "confidence building measures" etc can easily be reversed at any time when the Iranians chose. Oth, dismantling Fordow and the Uranium stocks are the only real PERMANENT measures that will be effective for years, which of course Iran will never agree to. Fantastic, the man is a GENIUS ! He saw through the Obama-European sponsored time wasting charade immediately.
4. Don't trust the Europeans or Americans
Faxib Ted   (04.15.12)
Don't trust the Europeans or Americans a bit. Who slaughtered 6 million Jews during WWII - the Europeans, while their American cousins stood by watching and did nothing. They only entered the war after Japan attacked them. Now they are more concerned about saving their economy by delaying an Israeli attack with prolonged time-wasting talks with Iran, which enables Iran to facilitate the 2nd Holocaust easily. Its clear Israel has to help itself, not trust others, attack NOW !
5. How long will Iran be given to continue this delay game ?
David ,   U.S./AZ   (04.15.12)
I'm a U.S. citizen but my heart is in Israel. How long is Israel going to accept this nonsense from the U.S. and International pressure to delay what must be done to stop the Iranian threat ? Obama is only interested in getting reelected and cares little for The Jews of Israel. Sanctions are never going to work against a terrorist government in Iran. Israel will prevail and my prayers are with you Israel.
6. Well Bibi, you can make sure it's not a freebie.
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (04.15.12)
Unless you enjoy being led around by the nose.
7. Empty words
JS ,   NY   (04.15.12)
He will also go down in history as the man that could have stopped Iran and just DIDN'T !! All this is nothing but empty words
8. tell it to barak
alexi   (04.15.12)
You defer to ehud barak even though he flunked the marmora, did nothing to stop arafat terror, was wrong about assad, and he is held in low regard by israelis. So tell him your troubles; don't tell us. You forced barak onto us and thoiugh he is a brilliant guy, his record is only slightly better than olmert and peretz. He has been slow to develop iron dome, he was awol on the carmel fire where any half wit would have said you need your own fire fleet. So tell barak your problems. The 2 of you would not hit iran if it came down to it, not a chance, zero.
9. 5 - cares little for The Jews of Israel.
split ,   US   (04.15.12)
Why should he, was he elected there? What do you propose, to send our boys and girls to die for Israel because this little bully introduced the bomb to M. East and wants to prevent others to have it ? ,... They're going to get their own toy like it or not and on the way to get it they are going to expose you for what you are, a loud, tootles little bully ,...
10. Nr.6. A full hit this time !!!.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (04.15.12)
11. The talks are a ludicrous stalling technique.
Chaim ,   Israel   (04.15.12)
The talks are a ludicrous stalling techniques meant to buy time for Iran to build nuclear bombs. Destroy Iran's nukes NOW!
12. ULTIMATUM to Iran
Dexter   (04.15.12)
Thats it, its an ULTIMATUM to Iran....PERIOD ! Dismantle Fordow, stop all enrichment & hand over the 20% stocks immediately. Else the bombs drop. Obama, Ashton & the European wussies can go and waltz alone somewhere or jump in the drain.
13. So did Obama
Syd Chaden ,   Palermo Calif USA   (04.15.12)
Iran was not the sole recipient of a "freebie", Obama also benefitted, since his primary goal is simply to delay any conflict, at least until after the next election. Even if Iran gets a nuke during that period, he'll deny it that there is any evidence that they have one. And, even if Iran produces the evidence, and a mushroom cloud rises over Tel Aviv or Haifa, liberal American Jews will probably vote for Obama, and join J-Street in blaming Israel for the attack.
14. Katherine Ashton -- Neville chamberlain
Frida ,   London England   (04.15.12)
History is repeating itself .wake up people.netanyahu is Churchill .he was also called names but in the end he was right.
15. Face it, the western world is prepared ...
Robert ,   USA   (04.15.12)
to live with a nuclear Iran. Israel cannot allow that.
16. IRAQ $IMILATION
me   (04.15.12)
17. #9 ''a loud, tootles little bully ,...''
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (04.15.12)
Projecting again, are we? If you'd bothered to watch Netanyahu's speech to Congress, you might have learnt something, thus possibly sparing us your constant streams of drivel on these threads.
18. re: 12 Sorry dude, but Israel is too small to...............
Cali Cal ,   Los Angeles, USA   (04.15.12)
issue an meaningful ULTIMATUM to IRAN. Without our back, you cans are left to cry like babies, which is exactly what Netanyahu is doing to that Israel firster Joe Lieberman.
19. So lets get it done - now !
who cares   (04.15.12)
Every further day things get more difficult - so lets get it done......
20. NUCLEAR BRINKMANSHIP
Ehai ,   London. UK   (04.15.12)
I don't think Iran wants to make a nuclear bomb in order to actually detonate it on Israel. To do so would murder Arabs inside Israel too. Iran's game is nuclear brinkmanship. They want to build a bomb in order to detonate it in a controlled test. Why? Because that would accelerate and intensify American and world pressure on Israel to sit at a negotiating table facing the Palestinians. It would also cause oil price to rise.... making economy difficult for the world. The strategy to follow now is to support the opposition groups inside Iran. Praise them for their ambition to develop nuclear energy. (Nobody says anything nice about them!! There are some good people there.) Continue to denounce their plan to make a bomb and say openly that we know what their game is. A game of brinkmanship. In this game it is easier for Hamas to stay in power you see. So it is up to USA and EU to break Hamas down into tiny little pieces.... citing the criminal activities of individual members of Hamas and Fatah. If the discriminating pressure is not increased on Hamas and Fatah the brinkman's game will be led by Iran. Don't wait for the 3 minute warning.
21. Anyone with enough sense...
Jake Stone ,   USA   (04.15.12)
...can tell the Iranians' were only trying to play the political game, so they could delay for time. It's disgusting watching the Euro-trash, along with my country (US) playing right-along...being complicit...thus, helping the Iranian cause. If this doesn't show where Obama's heart and loyalties lie, nothing will! Israel needs to cut all ties to these traitorous entities, and totally rely on their God (He will protect them, despite their lack-of-faith). God bless, Israel; praying for the peace of Jerusalem! Christian Zionist
22. Israel can do nothing about Iran
oonja   (04.15.12)
Nobody can do anything about Iran. All this countries against Iran means simply that Iran is a super power.
23. What do you expect from a inept politician who's left...
Persian CAT   (04.15.12)
outside the room with no access to international power nor legitimacy?! Barking is what he does best. Israel deserves such "leaders".
24. Dexter, there a medical name for your condition...
Persian CAT   (04.15.12)
Can you please post your political/military position from which you dare issue "ultimatums" to the world? There must be a nuthouse near the rock where you reside under with enough meds to keep you calm. Isn't there?!
25. THE SAME OLD SONG
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (04.15.12)
From Netanyahu.having realised that negotiations with Iran is not one-sided affair and the world is dealing with a strong nation,chose to be frustrated and surprisingly,still believes that Iran has another five weeks of being able to enrich the uranium to 20%.I am afraid the analysis is bit overfetched.Not only will Iran enrich the uranium required for its 850,000 cancer patients in the country but will also ensure that visits to Parchin and other military sites are not taken for granted by those inisisting on the facilities being inspected.If the Iranians do allow such visits,firm assurances of lifting of sanctions will also have to reciprocally apply. Iranians are not going to make it look like a tea party at Parchin.
26. same dream
talking back ,   london town   (04.15.12)
"My initial impression is that Israel has been given a freebie. It's already received decades of unhindered enrichment which has resulted in one of the biggest nuclear arsenal on the planet, without any limitation, any inhibition - to the contrary, they were assisted in achieving this by pretty much all the Western world," I said back. "I think Isrel should take immediate steps: first stop all enrichment, take out all the enriched material and dismantle the nuclear facility in Natanz. Then, destroy all nuclear warheads. I believe that the world's greatest practitioner of terrorism must not have the opportunity to develop atomic bombs - let alone keep hold of them. And only THEN can Israel preach to Iran," I continued saying.
