Did America act against North Korea, Pakistan, Syria, Iraq when they were building nuclear reactors ? No, they just emitted a lot of hot air just like today. Israel acted promptly against Osirak & Syrian nuclear reactors (despite American & European objections), else those Scuds that hit Israel in the Gulf War in 1991 would have had Nuclear warheads on them.

let Syria be a lesson to all those who believe that America will prevent Iran from becoming nuclear. America won't intervene unless there is some personal benefit for themselves. Unfortunately for the Syrians there is no oil in Syria unlike in Libya & Iraq where "democracy & freedom" was implemented swiftly & with great glee & enthusiasm by USA.

which is a lot! Hit it NOW! Don't depend on the USA.

According to Barak. we have to piss now.

Yes, right... several thousand US soldiers will die for Israel.

yes you can be scared of netanyahu, but not be scared on a nuke iran. the one who contineously calls the complete distruction of Israel. And obama feet draging for his personal agenda, may cost our end. Mofaz your just a fustrated useless person.

nukeless iran now or wait until the f'n insane and deranged ayatolaucracy get nukes. which would be better for your kids mofaz? idiot.

If you change your mind later ... it may help to be lucky now.

Unfortunately, you are entirely correct in your assumptions! I hope that Israel will do what it does best, ensure security and prevent annihilation via preemptive strike. I only wish that our current administration was not so spineless and that we would assist you with whatever you plan. Trust me, the majority of Americans are with you! (Don't let someone from LA or NY or SF tell you otherwise, they are self-deluded!) I am sure that when you strike, Iran will be reeling and blind before they can even process what holy hell is raining down on them! Good luck, not that you will need it ;)

Obama knows that if Israel gets into a war with Israel before the election, he will have to help in order save his presidency. If he wants to let israel go it alone , that would be unpopular, and therefore , he needs to do that after the election. Its all part of his Arab Spring.

predictable but what is predictable is that if Israel does nothing or relies on US it would be far worse and likely fatal

How many US soldiers have ALREADY been killed by Iran terrorism and allies since 1979 ? Have you forgotten the bombs in Iraq, Lebanon and all the marines killed ? It's only the weakness of politicians and "diplomats" who permitted this satanist regime to survive such a long time. Maybe... time is over NOW. Marines will praise Israel ;-)

What has "thousands of U.S. soldiers" got to do with an attack on Iran? You can go home any time. We didn't order you to the Hormuz, go cry to your president. He is not going to act anyway, so you will be safe, don't worry. We are going it alone for the sake of the lives of our whole nation of civilians, men, women, children, new borns, elderly. Why is everything always all about you? YOU are not the people that is being threatened with total anihilation.

barak has always been more cautious about action and avoids it if he can sometimes to the detriment of israel. However, with regard to the evil corrupt entity of iran, he is clearly correct. Yhe US is footdragging, europe is a collection of cowards, the UN an arab mouthpiece. Time is up. However, israel should stop talking and start the clock on the plan and vary since that bastard in tikun olam published some piece that alleged to be a leaked plan.

Israel does not have the balls to attack Iran by itself.

In any case, he has nothing to loose by opposing the war with Iran: if we loose, he warned about it, if we win, he is a spent politician anyway. His bet is good.

Obama knows that if Israel gets into a war with lran before the election, he will have to help in order save his presidency. If he wants to let israel go it alone , that would be unpopular, and therefore , he needs to do that after the election. Its all part of his Arab Spring.

Rather,what retaliatory strike would Israel be able to tolerate from Iran?Or are there people who think that the Iranian retaliation will only be confined to few sporadic missiles hitting the country?If so,let those living in the dream world get a clear message.It would be a devastating retaliatory strike.Rest assured!!

Mofaz is right, iran nuclear will go nuclear anyway, it's much too late to do something serious. a nuclear Iran with no bombing, or a nuclear iran after being bombed (and who seek revenge) what do you prefer? the choice is not between bombing iran, or a nucleaire iran.

What is the problem now? Why does the decision have to be made now? Is Iran planning to drop its imaginary nuke on Barak's head tomorrow? Israel looks more foolish every day with its leaders' insane pronouncements.

When we read articles on Iran and the possibilities of attacking it and how to attack it and what would be the consequence and rest of the crap,one starts wondering that the Iranians have also been accumulating various ways in which Israel can attack.............................they,too,are prepared ans enhancing their defencive and offensive capabilities.The articles in Ynet make it look as though the Iranians di not know anything and are helplessly waiting to sustain Israel's attack..............hey! hey!Take care that these too much discussions may witness pre-emptive strike on massive scale by the Iranians.Or do you doubt that?

...and to get insight into things. That clearly rules you out.

BOMB them NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well a country that can bring USA powerful drone to there land safely ... Thanks Jews Think about there power and they are not alone RUSSIA dont want US and Israel in there region ... Best of luck

are against an attack on Iran, right? What about THEIR opinion on the matter? I think we need to hear from them first, no?

This is scare mongering. They are celebrating eid . There is no hurry . What is the need for such talk by politicians.They must be knowing something the general public does not.i
