33. LMAO!!!
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (04.29.12)
Two guys in a rowboat aren't a real threat to anybody. But by all means - go within 3 miles of America's Eastern shore - that is well with US territorial waters and we won't even be able to find any pieces to send home.

Still trying to learn to effectively lie.
35. Bill Gates pays for chemtrails in the skies to pollute the
Rivkah   (04.29.12)
air all over the Earth with aluminum, barium and mycoplasm fungus to make people sick and plants die so that eventually everyone has to buy Monsanto's aluminum resistant seeds since the heritage God-made seeds will no longer grow in such soil. Why doesn't Bill Gate stop spending billions on harming people and the Earth and start spending his billions to weaponize the electrical grids in the USA so that a HEMP attack (high altitude electromagnetic pulse nuclear attack) won't put out the electrical grids? Why doesn't he do something with his money that HELPS people instead of harms them? He is great on paying for tetanus vaccines that have human chorionic gonadotropin in them to cause miscarriages. He is all for harming people. Why doesn't the government confiscate his vast wealth for all the murders it has caused and use that to protect the electrical grid and pay down the deficit that companies like Bill Gates' companies have caused by going to China and India and anywhere offshore to escape paying US taxes and employing US citizens?

No matter You Should check your skivvies I think you dropped your own load of Hudda, I can smell you from here.

38. Agreed. Obummer is an idiot!
Moshe ,   USA   (04.29.12)
But, regardless of how silly the Iranian threats may sound now, just imagine if they had nukes...not so silly, is it?
39. thanks Commander Ali Fadavi > u made my day :-D

Hahahahahaha... Say what? Muahahahahaha!
41. Iran US Rockets
R. Armstrong ,   Surrey,BC, Canada   (04.29.12)
The problem is that an enemy of the US only has to be a couple of hundred (200) miles off the coast to effectively cripple the USA with an EMP fired from a ship straight up! There needs to be new security guidelines for the open seas.
42. everyone got it all wrong...
mark ,   usa   (04.29.12)
This Iranian bellicose is for domestic consumption for the day after iran blinks their nightly news will be able to report Iran's might is what caused Washington to not to act against its nuclear brinksmanship. They are in a nut shell laying the groundwork to dupe the people into believing the theocracy at the helm is steering the right course of action. news for Qom the us navy is not the us navy of 1942. 24/7 times three days will see Iran's ability to launch a dingy reduced to zero. I can assure everyone and anyone that iran's tactical use of highspeed boats has been cgi'ed and wargamed out with such decisive outcomes that there will be 20000 crying iran mothers in no time flat. if the Iranians think that taking on us navy in the gulf will be like slipping through the reeds in southern iraq or swarm tactics on tankers under guise of an opponent with their hands tied behind their back, by all means give it a try.
43. i wonder...
mark ,   usa   (04.29.12)
What is the effectiveness is of a traditionally land area weapon system like cluster bombs would have on highspeed boats swam tactics. My guess is decisive, end of story.
44. HMMmm
B cooper ,   florence Al   (04.29.12)
I think the majority of people are missing the escalation here. We are for the first time in many years hearing another country we are semi involved in a conflict with actually making threats to the united states. Our homeland. I can say this would be Irans biggest mistake...Iran i wouldnt dare go there lol
45. #3 Exactly
Jenny ,   --   (04.29.12)
And the sheep are eating it up. Especially Alexander.
46. Wow! What are they smoking?
Shlomo ,   USA   (04.29.12)
I thought the Three Stooges were in the movies but it seems like they are really running Iran. One US Trident sub located in any ocean or even under the polar ice cap could destroy Iran in 15 minutes 10 times over. Iranian military leaders really need to get of the crack.
47. Iranian idiot needs to study history
Shlomo ,   USA   (04.29.12)
This armchair 'general' needs to read a history book. In WWII the Japanese scored direct hits on US aircraft carriers and did not put all of them out of action. They are tougher than this stooge thinks and the airmen on board will deliver more ordnance that was dropped in WWII on the Iranian nation.
48. lmfao!!!!!
proud american ,   U.S.A   (04.29.12)
Do u Iranians really believe ur outdated surface fleet, let alone ur outdated diesel subs would make it within 3 miles of NY???? Here's what would happen! Our nuclear subs would sink ur tin cans long before you made it close enough to U.S soil! Our surface fleet could flatten ur backwards country in less than 24hrs! So bring ur garbage navy anywhere close to our eastern seaboard, or gulf......plenty of marine wildlife to do the same as the marine wildlife did to ur boy osama! I beg fsor ur ilk to try it! I live near the gulf coast......put ur money wherever ur mouth is! Americans like me would love to put u in ur place.....fishes gotta eat too! The cuisine is lacking, but that a fish problem! Please ynet dnt expel me for telling truth! I stand for Israeli, and love my natural country, especially against the same muslim trash that wants, us both wiped out! Long live Israel, and my proud U.S. of A!!!!
49. A FUNNY IMAGE
Frank-el ,   Seattle USA   (04.29.12)
Some of you may recall an old comedy movie called The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming. It's about a Soviet sub that gets grounded in New England. The crew lands and interacts with the locals. I had a funny image of an Iranian ship getting stuck in the Hudson River and the lost Iranian crew bumbling through New York and bumping into our prolific Talkbacker Sarah B. I don't like most of what she writes but I'd pay for tickets to watch that encounter! On a more sobering note and closer to Iranian shores...the Iranians possess Russian supersonic Super Sunburn SS-N-26 ONYX Cruise Missiles which are probably the most advanced anti-ship weapons in the world. These would be an extremely formidable foe if launched against a carrier. Do some research and see...not to be taken lightly.
50. Not fair, US had a major handicap - Jimmy Carter
William ,   Israel   (04.29.12)
Or as I like to call him "Khomeini's inside man". But that was 33 years ago - and a lot has changed in the world, hasn't it Tehran?
51. New Iranian Secret Weapon LOL.....weekly!
James ,   Toledo Ohio USA   (04.29.12)
52. To: No. 49
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.29.12)
Whatever on earth makes you think that an Iranian vessel of any sort will get anywhere near the Hudson River? By the way -- it will be a little difficult to launch those Sunburn cruise missiles from the ocean floor, which is where the Iranian subs will be. Never mind a land launch -- that's just not going to happen, either. Besides -- Iran cannot even trust its own computer-based command and control systems. Israel OWNS that! You're not terribly well grounded in reality, are you, Frankie boy?
53. #52 Sticks and Stones
Frank-e; ,   Seattle USA   (04.29.12)
Yeah, talk is cheap and you haven't changed your tune, eh chico? Perhaps you should read posts before commenting...it was a joke but your OCD won't allow a smile, eh? With regards to missile attacks, suggest you school yourself a bit more before blasting off more hot air. The US Navy takes these missiles much more seriously than you do.
54. How do "Rear Admiral" & "Brigadier General" sound in Farsi?
(04.29.12)
probably as funny as Ali Fadavi. Seriously folks: can you take a guy with a name like Abra Cadabra seriously?....and as if they ran out of names besides Ahmed, the other dude is also "Ali"....okay, if you say "HAJIZADEH!" I might actually jump a little. Watch out....................HAJIZADEH!!! See what I'm sayin'?
55. The US Aircraft Carriers.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (04.29.12)
They should as soon as possible, be Withdrawn from the Persin Gulf, and replaced with Aircraft on the Saudi-arabian Peninsula. Arn.Sweden.
56. # 54 I thought it was more like

Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.29.12)
I don't think that Iranian threats are a joke. Shouldn't you be outraged? Or have you forgotten the humiliating events of 1979, and the outrageous treatment of the corpses of American servicemen following the failed hostage rescue attempt? What a shame -- you can recall old movies, but you do not remember the invasion of the United States Embassy. I guess you don't mind that the United States is called the "Great Satan" and that burning the United States flag and screaming "Death to America" is de rigeuer in demonstrations anywhere in Iran. By the way: I'm a woman -- proper usage would be "chica." Furthermore, it's with "regard" to, not "regards." Finally, it's "than do you," not "than you do." It appears that you are the one who needs a bit more schooling. But it probably wouldn't help. Go back to watching obscure comedies. That seems to be more your speed, Frankie-boy. Leave international diplomacy to those among us qualified to analyze and comment upon the subject.
58. This report is stupid
George ,   San Francisco, USA   (04.29.12)
Isn't there anything else to write about? Do people think that the Iranians are stupid? Iran has no long-range navy. Its strategy is strictly defensive. Next, we'll worry about Iran putting missile basis in Mars.
59. Iranian Threats
Spencer ,   Israel   (04.29.12)
If any Iranian ship gives even a hint of threatening any western power blow that ship out of the water,
