1. Turkey dumb of an Iranian declared strike?
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (09.05.12)
2. No one WANTS war
Tim ,   Brighton   (09.05.12)
Perhaps these Statements should be better directed at Mad Monkey..or is he just too dim witted and monkey brained to understand! Israel and others are only doing what any nation would do faced with these serious threats
3. Better a strike on Iran and a dleay than our
DT ,   TA Israel   (09.05.12)
annihaltion. IfErdogan is right they and the west should have reached into a cupboard and found some courage
4. Any more defaetistic articles? Isn't it enough as is?!
me ,   here   (09.05.12)
5. Nutcase!
Toby   (09.05.12)
Why is this nutcase using terminology not found in his relgious teachings? According to Judeo-Christian writings, God destroys the ruling powers of evil and raises the righteous. Modern day evil = Islam. Judge a religion by its fruits. In the case of Islam: backwardness, bloody barbarism, intolerance, hatred built on lies, bigotry, instigation. mayhem and a legal system stuck in the 7th century and out of touch with human progress and civilization. And not a single scientific discipline, scientific/technollogical invention from any Islamic culture.
6. Nobody believes the hype
Ken   (09.05.12)
Israel has failed to win any public opinion, national or global, in favor of striking Iran. Like the Iranians have said Israel's bluster is much ado about nothing.
7. It is ISLAMISM that is RUINING Turkey and the neighbourhood.
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (09.05.12)
8. Depending on attack success, Middle East could get less hot
Alan ,   Canada   (09.05.12)
If an attack on Iran is sufficiently effective to keep the Ayatollahs busy with internal economic strains & social unrest, the forecasted apocalypse may turn into a period of relative calm in particular if the Iranian setback brings about the downfal of the Syrian regime & the weakening of the Hezbollah in Lebanon
9. What weird??
Jusanz77 ,   Vzla.   (09.05.12)
What weird? Cypriots since 1974 say something like: "Turkish attack on Cyprus 'apocalypse.' But stranger still the same say, Greeks, Armenians, Assyrians and Kurds.
10. Erdogan comments
Al Capone ,   Chicago, USA   (09.05.12)
Ok - like most people on this web site I think the current Turkish administration is aweful. Especially their attitute and posturing vis a vis Israel. What piss*s me of about this article isn't necessarily the criticism toward Israel (everybody is entitled to their own opinion) but the lack of criticism toward Iran. As a punishment: 1) Increase the pace of prospecting/drilling of nat gas/oil in the Med. 2) As soon as Assad is out, coordinate with the Kurds and UNSC a proposal of the establishment of Kurdistan as a UN member observer state. This really is no different than the position of the PALS. 3) After the informal establishment of Kurdistan, immediately help them build an army. 3) Increase military cooperation with Greece
11. Better we stand and fight than go as sheep
Tarbouche ,   Aswan   (09.05.12)
to the slaughter
12.  To @ 11 Tarbouche. Aswan
Jusanz77. ,   Vzla.   (09.05.12)
To @ 11 Tarbouche, Aswan I agree with you, best is to fight, to spend 32 years listening. "Israel is the Little Satan, Israel is a cancer that must be excised, Israel is a dry tree to be destroyed by a storm." In short, we have the same vision of life, but totally different goals. Greetings.
13. New World Order
david ,   canada   (09.05.12)
It is beyond my comprehension that people want to go to war with another nation. Have non of us learned anything from history on the stupidity of war. Until you have proof that they are building a bomb to drop on Israel then leave Iran alone. Why should Israel be allowed the bomb and not Iran. The supreme religious leader in Iran has made it a sin to posess nuclear weapons or chemical weapons, these people are very religious and wont go against their leader so what the heck are you worried about. Apparently all the urianium they are enriching is in a form not used for bombs but a higher grade for medicine. Please people of the world do not listen to the lies about Iran. Free the Palestines!!
14. 67. Moment
Fahd Jassim Hussain ,   Kufa, Iraq   (09.05.12)
I think #8 is the only who got it , andI suspect the Turkish PM knows as well. A clear defeat for Iran in th eyes of the Iranian public and opposition like what happened to the Nasserism in 67 could potentially happen to this Iranian charade of mixing Ronan nationalism with Shiite fiery brand . Only a clear unambiguous defeat will free the Iranians and the region .
15. Turk PM
bart martin ,   Buenas Aires,Argenti   (09.05.12)
This Islamist can´t be trusted as far as he can be thrown. he supports terrorism in various places and although he tries to hide his wolf´s tail ,it often sticks out.He is a VERY dangerous force in the world..even if he might be on the right side on Syria!
16. then the best policy is recognizing israel concerns if u don
ralph   (09.05.12)
don't then be certain israel cares not a fig about you.
17. TO David #13 - you are misreading the facts
Airdrone pilot ,   World   (09.05.12)
Iran IS indeed building a bomb and declaring thatir intent to wipe ISrael off the map. See article in warsclerotic (dot) wordpress (dot) com called "The Iranians are almost there. This is how they did it ". You will see that you are misleading the real facts. Don´t be naive. Israel wants peace, but will not avoid defendind herself.
18. Erodgan, you yourself set up a terrorist flotilha
Airdrone pilot ,   World   (09.05.12)
And now you talk about terrorism ? Your speech is only in place because you are afraid of PKK, and found the position that better fits your interest. In fact, you don´t care about Syrian government and victims, since Bashar Assad father had killed thousands for decades and you were pictured giving hugs to his son until you started pissing in your pants because of the Kurds.
19. there will be no peace with nuclear iran
adir ,   Israel   (09.05.12)
as long we are under iranian nuclear threat there will be no peace and no stability. and the blame goes only on iran who refuse to cooperate.
20. #13 "david":are you a paid propagandist?
Tom W ,   USA   (09.05.12)
Are you copy/paste from an Iranian propaganda brochure? You are not too original, Abdallah in Canada.
21. #13....naive beyond belief...
Malone ,   Hfx   (09.05.12)
Go save a whale or hug a tree..
22. mr erdogan may be right....
les ,   canada   (09.05.12)
an israeli strike on iranian nuke site MAY casue "apocalyps" in the region. but a nuclear iran will DEFINATLY cause apocalyps to israel!
23. dumber than dumn ..new flash
Canadian ,   Canada   (09.05.12)
do these people who clain to be intelligent heads of state not know who is threatening who...news flash in the event you just landed from Mars...its Iran threatening to wip Israel off the map...NOT the otherway around...its so scary how unhelpful i alir of a country can be to a situation!!!! leaves me speachless
24. #13 david
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (09.05.12)
Uranium enriched to a higher grade for medicine - you mean like 85%?!?
25. Some actually want apocalypse
Rob ,   New York   (09.05.12)
The whole reason why WMD are a problem, especially in the middle-east is that some people actually want an apocalypse. It is religiously self-fulfilling. The Jews and Christians believe in the War of Gog and Magog, while the Muslims believe in Jooj and Majooj which is almost the mirror image. So when the apocalypse starts all sides will join in instead of backing away. Is it twisted, or is it proof of some divine plan....
26. STFU Erdogan
shmulke ,   w coast USA   (09.05.12)
It's not YOUR country that's being threatened with annihilation!
27. # 13 What kind of proof do you expect
Anadelfos ,   Athens Greece   (09.05.12)
Is bombing of Tel Aviv or Haifa the kind of proof you are talking about? If these people are continously threatening Israel with annihilation, even if they still don't possess the bomb, you can imagine what is going to happen, when they make it to construct it.Regarding the religious leaders, I would never bet my neck on their good will.Would you bet yours?
28. Dear Number 24...
Devin ,   USA   (09.05.12)
man, show me the link thats say they have 85% enriched. Last it was stated it, they had 20%. Not even close friend. I dont know what they are doing, but I do know your facts are wrong.
29. #28 Devin
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (09.06.12)
Physics hasn't been your favourite subject at school, right? Natural uranium has about 0.7% U-235 (this is the fissible isotope). If you are able to enrich it up to 20%, you are only one step away from weapons grade (90%).
30. # 24 Albrecht Klein - HOW do YOU know ?- did you helped
Ben-Zion ,   Yisrael   (09.06.12)
HOW DO YOU ? and know these Certain Details ? - did You etc. helped Them (Iranians) deliver some Materials and Equipment via Germany and to made customs-clearance via Your friends. . . ? - so, TELL us !
