31. Enough with the "will not allow" talk
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (09.11.12)
Obama and Clinton (and Romney for that matter) should drop the "will not allow" claim. Iran isn't asking permission to develop nuclear weapons; they're just doing it. The correct message is "We will not accept or tolerate nuclear weapons in Iranian hands, and if Iran continues toward such an objective it will pay a high price." Neither Obama nor Clinton are serious students of history or military affairs. Iran is playing Chess - with a clear set of objectives, moving its pieces and developing its positions. The US is playing Poker, not yet realizing its bluff has been called.
32. Obama is the worst president for Israel ever
Richard ,   USA   (09.11.12)
The facts are all too clear, based on Obama's actions, which do indeed speak louder than his words. He is just fine with Iran getting nuclear arms so long as it happens or is announced after the election. He does not care about or support Israel. He has done more to de-legitimize Israel than any President since Carter. Any Jew who votes for him is living in a delusional world and should be ashamed.

34. I hope the U.S. has better success at stopping Iran getting

37. Since when has Israel been a US State?
