1. you gotta crack a few eggs to make an omlette
bklyn jew   (09.14.12)
just do it and get it over with... Iran doesnt stand a chance... time to go for the knockout punch once and for all if you want to see any real "change"
2. israelis have lots of iron dommme hahahhh hhhahhhhhhhhhaaaa

3. Sadly, war is starting to look good
ghilmeini ,   hiding under a rock   (09.14.12)
Even if it only delays things for two years, that is two years. And when you say you will keep coming back until they stop, well then the chayas running the Islamic republic will have gotten the message. This is how these barbarians act without nuclear weapons, they must be stopped at all costs. I don't want a war but a bunch of fools elected Obama and now here we are.
4. They Laughed at Hitler
Noah Lev ,   LosangelesUSA   (09.14.12)
And guess what, 1 or 2 nukes over Tel Aviv, or New York City (fired from offshore) and millions of casulties. So, 6 of 1, as they say. Okay, let Iran have their nukes..better to hold over the West, as insurance against any US,Israel,EU or West attacks. We will see another No. Korea..even China is afraid of them. not to forget Japan, no small potatoes. 2 yrs is long time in the M.E. as we are witnessing. Hez/Hamas..can be destroyed within hours by the IDF alone. Sure, they will get off some rockets..Scuds, Grads, Kassams, Velvels, Katys.but no A-bombs. Israel can make their areas into sand. Re: Iran..what is better, a nuke armed Iran ( as suggested in this article) or a defanged Iran for awhile. BTW, as with a urinay tract infection, you kill tghe entire virus..and have followups with antibiotics..keep Iranian scientists on guard..frequent bombing of their installations...and aid the 20m protestors. What is a Jew, or US life worth I ask? Will these pundits be safe from Islamic cells in the USA? They laughed at Hitler at first..finally after the world was almost destroyed...we acted. Germany did not have atomic bombs friends.
5. Is a Nuclear Iran Better or No Nukes?
Noah Lev ,   LosangelesUSA   (09.14.12)
Does anyone think that Hez/Hamas deserve the accolades and might ascribed to them in this letter? I mean, 25,000 Hez with dumb rockets and Hamas with Kassams and Grads, vs the IDFs power, and the USA? Lets get real. 48 hrs of attacks and they are history. Re: Iran, We have fought 10yrs in 2 wars..out of convenience. A few thousands sorties occasionally, no ground troops..and thousands of cruise rockets blanketing Iran..should do it. Show no mercy against their nuke sites or Rev Guards. 20m Iranians will bring down the regime, not unite it. But they need USA support. If US cities are similarly threatened as are Israeli, how would we react? And we dont know that they are not targeted,with small pox, other bacteria. Iran claims missile boats offshore and 40,000 suicide bombers. Yet our do nothing Pres. looks and talkis like a leader. Mr. Pres. Truman was a leader. To Israel: Ben Gurion was a leader. Okay, so they protest and riot in Cairo and Libya. Hows about 20m marching in our country for the US of A,
6. Only a Snapshot of a Cancer
Noah Lev ,   LosangelesUSA   (09.14.12)
The report, like a medical report, is a snap shot at a particular moment. You know what led up to it, (assuming spying, etc.) but cannot tell the afterward. Example: would there be continual follow up attacks againwt 1 or more sites?). Would Iran devote the effort if it knew of pending occurrances? What if its restive pop. were to protest (like last yr) but aided by outsiders this time? Would Ahmad be relected? Would the reformers take over? Like Libya and So Africa, would it give up its program voluntarily? Assuming the sites are hit with nukes..how long would the radiation last? Would they rebuild elsewhere for the satellites to see? What if Russia, and China joined the chorus against any future enrichment? What is Iran to gain? With the Arab Spring in mind, would Iranians revolt similarly. wanting cheaper food and oil..and not spending money on nuke sites? What about other Muslim nations? Would they pressure Iran to stop? What about the UN? Assuming Ahmad disappears...and the Rev Guards..would the army revolt? A report years ago predicted 30m iranian casualties if war with Israel then, (not the US). If a hardnosed patriot like Romney wins would Ahmad be so brave? Lots to thinki about. Even some cancers can be destroyed.. Iran is a cancer, that threatens the planet, much as Hitler did 70 years ago, without A bombs. Something to consider. The ;report is okay, but worthless.
7. If the Proxies react, they'd be wiped out completely
EZ ,   US/Israel   (09.14.12)
under such a scenario as Iran's proxies launching an all out assault, Israel would be justified in completely wiping Hezbollah, which means, Lebanon, completely out. The Israeli response would be no 2006 war but a complete hammering and ground invasion. Gaza too would be obliterated. I think that is why the US wants Israel to stand down until they're ready to attack. They want Israel to be able to stay and fight their own whacko enemies.
8. Iran's Mullah's Last Days
Robert ,   New Jersey, USA   (09.14.12)
When the dust settles on Israel's destruction of Iran as a would-be superpower, the lasting benefit will not be the dismemberment of its nuclear bomb program. The lasting benefit will be the liberation of the country from its dictatorship. With the mullahs entry into the land of 72 virgins will come the opening of the entire nuclear program to the sunlight of the free world. All the sites will be open to international supervision and we can look forward to the global re-entry of Iran back into the family of civilized nations, as it was for many years under the Shahs. I know many Iranians. They know life under the Shah was a comparative paradise until President Carter pulled the rug out from under him, plunging Iran into a theocratic hellhole. We freedom-loving peoples can look forward to an Iran soon to be liberated from this nightmare of Islamic fanaticism.
9. Destroy Iran's nukes NOW! We have a holocaust to stop.
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.14.12)
We know what we must do. Let's get on with it. Destroy Iran's nukes NOW! We have a holocaust to stop.
10. Tough kushiot for Pesah: to be or not to be.
Michael ,   California, USA   (09.14.12)
Does Netanyahu still read English? Let me know if a translation is needed into Hebrew. Well, Ynet can handle that.
11. Israel Strike at Iran.....Or USofA
ltrail ,   United States   (09.14.12)
Oh just do it. Do it exactly when least suspecting. Today. Tommorow. A month from now. Next year. All are great times to strike. Go for it.
12. Another ploy by....
Maurice ,   Montreal   (09.14.12)
...Obama the "appeaser' to convince Israel not to attack Iran.
13. Faulty
Terry Feld ,   Houston, Texas   (09.14.12)
14. Faulty Analysis
Terry Feld ,   Houston, Texas   (09.14.12)
This conclusion is on a par with that famous decision of that assembly of mice. that decided to ."Bell the Cat." So, while no action is being taken, Israel will be the sacrificial lamb. No problem, they're only Jews. Here is an answer that will work. Regime change for Iran. Some one has to invade Iran and repeat what has been done to Germany, Japan, Iraq, etc. Land an army at some point and work to get the unhappy Iranians to join forces. There are plenty of Persians who hate their Arab overlord invaders. Psych warfare and physical force will do the job...otherwise, say goodbye to the glorious Zionist dream.
15. So Bottom Line Is iran Will Not Stop With It's
(09.14.12)
Military Nuclear Program? They Signed The NPT? Discovered Secret Nuclear Plants? Evidence Of Atom Research (Pink?) ? German Engineering Firm And Nuclear Triggers? Satellite (ICBM) Propulsion from n.korea ? Enriching Uranium For At Least 3 years? Proxies Will Be Destroyed With Hosts Who Stand in the way? Sanctions and negotiating for years Was A Ploy? Wipe Your Eyes And Squint A Couple Times? Do You See If iran IS BOMBED THIS IS THE LAST RESORT; All Else Has Failed? The Window Of Opportunity HAS TO BE SLAMED SHUNT! And Reality Has To Be What It Is? Bibi Is Right And He Makes The Decsions That Are In The Best Interest Of Israel and Her People!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Be It What It May? Or Who Let This Happen, Creditable leaked information Was Not Acted Upon In A Timely Fashion And Now it's at the 11th hour? When Actions Are Taken, They Are Completely JUSTIFIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
16. Israel is vulnerable with either option
Elias   (09.14.12)
All this talk by Barak of minimal casualties is just talk, the reality will be rather different.
17. Fools....
John Prophet   (09.14.12)
Tens of millions died in WWII because Hitler was not dealt with sooner. The evil that were the Nazis has resurrected itself in the form of Radical Islam. Radical Islam is just as virulent an evil as were the Nazi. They also want it all, and this time if not stopped will have atomics! How many will die this go around due to reticence and a failure of leadership. 
18. No-nuke war now or nuke war later. Those r ur choices.
Cyberbrain ,   real world   (09.14.12)
19. #14 great idea
Old Guy ,   tel aviv   (09.14.12)
You are 100% right, that would probably work. The same idea was suggested by Uri Lubrani 4 years ago. It almost worked during the Green Revolution, until a famous community organizer decided to support Ahmadinejad, who proceeded to rape, and then kill, the protesters and their families. Thanks to the community organizer, I doubt there is any one left now to revolt.
20. Idiotic politicians
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (09.14.12)
The Benghazi attack was carefully planned together with iranian leaders. Their ultimate goal : to incite muslim masses, that only an iranian nuclear weapon can effectively defend the western attack.
21. The report does not take into account
(09.14.12)
change of leadership in Iran after the religious leaders are deposed due to any successful strike.
22. BOMB...BOMB...BOMB...BOMB Iran!!!!!!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (09.14.12)
23. Strike not War?
JARC ,   Auckland, New Zealan   (09.14.12)
Since when has a military "Strike" not been a military operation?
24. Is ANYTHING WORST than a nuclear armed Iran....??!!!!!
End of the road   (09.14.12)
At least if we hit them now we have a chance at winning... Let them get the bomb and the world is finished.
25. Complete destruction of Iran's nuclear program is unlikely
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (09.14.12)
Not if you use nuclear weapons, morons....that's what they're there for.
26. So Iran Go Ahead... even US CAN NOT STOP YOU.
(09.14.12)
27. #22 Chris, I never cease to be amazed at the...
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (09.14.12)
intellectual style of your comments, dear nephew.
28. Bibi, can`t you wait 7 lousy weeks ?
Nora Tel Aviv   (09.14.12)
Most probably Obama will quit the White House in 7 weks from now. Romney and Netanyahu speaking the same language , Iran will think twice before enriching uranium to nuclear bomb levels. Keep the bombs ready for another 7 weeks. Is it too much to ask ?
29. PLEASE people THINK
jeff ,   UK   (09.14.12)
I watch in shock how everyone repeats the same thing "a strike will only delay things for 2 years..." Anyone care to use their brain and figure, well in 2 years or whenever we feel they build up again you strike again? First you deal with issue at hand, do you understand most doctors tell people with cancer that it might come back in a year or 2, does the person throw up his hands and say "on in that case lets not remove it?" or does one say we deal with it now and if it it comes back we deal with it again. Brains people, think before you repeat garbage
30. tell the iranians the reactors are movie theatres
(09.14.12)
Paint American & Israeli flags on the outside of the nuclear facilities and tell them these buildings are movie theatres and they are secretly screening Innocence of Islam and the Iranian people will take up arms storm and destroy them for us.
