1. right to defend oneself
philip   (04.26.12)
israel does not need to ask US permission to deffend itself. After the holocaust, it is elementary. Yoiu don'tneed permission. What the hell is wrong with you humiliated pathetic pacifists. Defend yourselves and stop talking about it. No one talks more about iran than barak who will do nothing as god is my witness. He is olmert in uniform.
2. Barak
John the gracia ,   Lagos,nigeria   (04.26.12)
Please mr defense/war minister,count the cost of your action.Its gonna be a long rough ride...
3. Barak at odds with Peres, Netanyahu
EZRA THE PROUD JEW ,   USA-ISRAEL   (04.26.12)
I guess Barak is fighting for political clout or something. His comments are opposite Peres in stark contrast and are more alarmist than Netanyahu's. The NATO alliance has their military in place already, for a full scale attack on Iran: China just jumped ship from Syria, moving from Russia's side, and is trending towards that with Iran. The main players of the world have positioned themselves to destroy Iran militarily, which is why Iran is now going to the table for talks. They have no choice: stop or be stopped. They're in the corner and indeed, the US would have no problem obliterating the Iranian military completely: nor would NATO. The US just enacted a massive spy network within Iran that will cripple it from within: Barak needs to give it a handful of months before making such statements. Iran may even lay down completely on this, revealing they have far more bark than bite....as most sane people already know. If not; they'll be destroyed: it is IRAN that has EVERYTHING TO LOSE. 'Nuff said.
4. If Barak is like Olmert...
Chaim Lieberman ,   Westwood, USA   (04.27.12)
then Iran is going to be hit in the manner that Olmert bombed Syria's nuclear program.

6. "Israel Must Be Able To Defend Itself, By Itself"
Steven Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (04.27.12)
Leave us out of it, sink or swim on your own.
7. # 1
Birdi ,   Israel   (04.27.12)
Barak does not wear a uniform.
8. It is exceeding strange that Benny Gantz
DEB ,   WashDC   (04.27.12)
says international pressure will work to restrain Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions while the next day Barak says the opposite, more or less. They should get their acts together or better yet Benny should close his mouth publically in order for Israel to have some sort of uniform consensus on the matter. As a distant observer I believe Barak is correct and, further, you don't have unlimited time to wait to see if Gantz is!
9. Today the playing field changed...War Crimes
Edithann ,   USA   (04.27.12)
for heads of state are now on the docket...And Charles Taylor was found guilty.. So be careful Israel, even we wont be able to save your sorry a---es on this one... TATA
10. # 3...Keep smoking those fancy cigaretts...TATA
Edithann ,   USA   (04.27.12)
and drink better booze...you're wrong on all points...Iran will be there long after Isael has finally gone... Israel is on it's way to suicide...so better steal all you can now..as there wont be anything left ... TATA
11. Turkey is a Nuclear Weapons sharing State already
Ibrahim   (04.27.12)
Turkey has access to 90, B61 (300Kt yield) nuclear weapons already at its Incirlik AF base, albeit under de jure NATO command. Turkey also has a weapons sharing treaty with Pakistan which includes nuclear warheads. In addition to the above, Turkey has Short Range Balistic Missiles which can carry nuclear warhead as confirmed by the UN Register of Arms. If Barak or Israel is not aware of the above then Mossad is not doing a good job.
12. Good that Netanyahu & Barak
Amos J   (04.27.12)
Good that Netanyahu & Barak are not falling for the charade of the ugly Ashton and others. 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. Iran banks are working through Turkish banks. Turkey is not
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (04.27.12)
to be trusted as a NATO member.
14. A country that sends itsown children running over landmines,
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (04.27.12)
will not hesitate slaughtering the children of others.
15. Israel has nuclear weapons and worries....
Chris.B ,   Australia   (04.27.12)
about Iran who has none and is nowhere near the technological capabilities to buit any.Iran doesn't need to built the bomb they just need break out abillty.Turkey has NATO nukes and Saudia Arabia will no doubt have access to Pakistans bombs already.So the real fears of Baraks has happened many years ago regrading Turkey and Saudia Arabia.Now that it has been proven Iran isn't building a bomb all the warmongers will suggest they can build a dirty bomb.
16. #6 Sink or swim on your own.
Toots Schnorr ,   Big Apple   (04.27.12)
You mean doing the backstroke on the way to destroying Iran's nuke program?
17. Liberal steve from Minn: We intend to---leave you out of it
EZRA THE PROUD JEW ,   USA-ISRAEL   (04.27.12)
You sound exactly like the silly people who voted in a WWF wrestler as governor, lol. Only in Minn! Yes, you Jew-hating liberal: we intend on going it alone as we always have. The US did NOT aid us in the war of independence nor in the war of attrition or the 1967 war and only slightly in the Yom Kippur war for ITS OWN POLITICAL REASONS (i.e.: A HUGE Russian military build-up and presence in Egypt). JEWS fought our wars in Israel, not Americans. So keep it zipped buddy. And in case you didn't notice, during BOTH Iraq wars, Israel stood by the sidelines as it was bombarded by Iraq...at the request of the US. Your opinions are nothing but the worthless propaganda of you and your leftist 'activist' terrorists who spread lies and hate. You should bathe in your own lies and hate for the rest of your life. You do more harm than good with your arrogance. I would LOVE for you to boycott ALL Israeli goods and products. LOL! That would leave you in the stoneage. Thing of that next time you take some medicine or when your baby niece or nephew gets their polio vaccine or cancer treatment (the cancer virus was discovered by an ISRAELI!). Good riddence. You're wasting your time with your anti-Israeli rhetoric: you will fail and we will THRIVE.
18. Barak
Normalicy ,   Israel   (04.27.12)
Puka Puka ..........................we understand that election time is coming around and that you want to keep your name in the spotlight but I for one am sick of this constant babbling about Iran. Barak, either shut up or ship out.
19. Chris B Israels neighbours have WMD's & use them. Pakistan
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (04.27.12)
has nukes and has attacked Israel in the past. So why dont you spare us your dialectic,you people are boringly repetative in your slogan based postings and mindlessly ignorant of reality.
20. CHRIS B The neighbours use their WMDs & Pakistan a nuclear
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (04.27.12)
power has attacked Israel in the past. So why dont you spare us your slogan based dialectic and look at the real picture. Your kind of "smart" comment belongs in the Age or the Green left weekly
21. IBRAHIM.keep boasting about your cosy relations with Pakista
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (04.27.12)
The same Pakistan that stabs NATO in the back and exports terror around the world. How long do you think NATO & the US will continue to put up with your double games and acting as a laundry service for Iran?
22. The clockRe-assembler knows what he's talking about!
tom ,   tel aviv   (04.27.12)
23. Ibrahim Brother Assad shows how tough you really are
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (04.27.12)
Too scared to take on an army. a fraction the size of your own but tough enough to bomb unarmed Kurds. No spare martyrs to send to Syria?
24. Citizens of a pathetic country like Israel
Ahmet, Turkey ,   Istanbul   (04.27.12)
Cannot determine what a country like Turkey will do. Tell me dudes, you have nukes, but can you use it? Really? You know what's gonna happen afterwards...Be smart, read some history and don't drink too much alcohol in the desert...
