1. 10,000 troops?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.08.12)
Really? I guess he must have got this information straight from his magic 8-ball. Well, he needs to change the batteries. 10,000 casualties is an absurd assessment. But he can take it as a given that Iran will lose considerably more than 10,000. Iran is desperate. The time to kick a bully is when he is down. That way, he doesn't get back up. It's time to put Iran out of the world's misery.
2. sounds much more plausible than Barak's 500
Bruno   (10.08.12)
3. Kill 10,000? Tell me this moron isn't begging to be nuked
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (10.08.12)
4. It's a low estimate
Joe ,   Ft Lauderdale fl   (10.08.12)
We r looking at 80,000 estimated loss
5. Talk is are cheap and Iran is broke
big bad Jew ,   United States   (10.08.12)
all Iran has left are threats and hyperbole. Her people are in full revolt mode, her currency is worthless and so is her failed 'leadership' that's ruined Iran. Iran will be worthless if Israel does decide to attack.
6. This people does not get tired of talking so much bullshit??
Isaac ,   Israel   (10.08.12)
7. Lets call him Tehran Tom
Sheik rattle & roll ,   USA   (10.08.12)
He Is an idiot, however it is good that he is contradicting every other idiotic statement coming out of Iran such as we will destroy Israel etc. At least he admits that Iran can't destroy Israel.
8. IRAN
DANNY TAWIL ,   ENGLAND   (10.08.12)
IRAN TO LOOSE 10.000.000 PER ATOMIC BOMB. IRAN WILL BE PUT IN COMPLETE DARKNESS, NO ELECTRICITY IN THE COUNTRY, THINK ABOUT THAT.
9. Only a FULL BLOWN ATTACK on ALL of
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (10.08.12)
their illegal nuke installations will make these mad ragheads think twice...
10. Depends
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (10.08.12)
If the Jewish population is concentrated between Gedera and Hadera, and Iron Dome/Arrow work as planned, there will probably be fewer than 10000 dead. If Iron Dome/Arrow fail, 10000 is far too low. The only way to avoid so many dead is for the Jews to go home to Judea and Samaria. Netanyahu knows this. Barak knows this.
11. Barak said 500
Double talk ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (10.08.12)
So how does this fellow get it wrong by a factor of 20. Barak is right isnt he ?
12. death toll
koby mac ,   AU   (10.08.12)
A death toll of 10,00 would be the least of Israel's concerns, the mass exodus out of the country could amount to hundreds of thousands.
13. AMIA
Alex ,   Buenos Aires Argenti   (10.08.12)
this person is one of 8th Iranian officiers accused of the AMIA bombing.
14. #4 Joe, the low estimate
Joey   (10.08.12)
You neglected to mention the ten million on the other side.
15. Little men
JB ,   Rehovot Israel   (10.08.12)
Do some reading about real Generals. Washington, Lee, Jackson, Patton, Rommel. None of them talked like these Iranian parrots. Men vs boys.
16. Sarah B and her batteries.
Bob ,   NYC, USA   (10.08.12)
If anyone needs a "change in batteries" it would be Sarah B. Right sweetie? (wink)
17. Strike.
J McKinlay ,   Israel   (10.08.12)
Strike them NOW !
18. Latest from Iran
Tim ,   Brighton   (10.08.12)
Insiders are saying even today that the value of the Iranian Rial has plunged rock bottom against the $ And that inflation is now through the 40% Barrier.... There is evidence of growing panic and anger amongst the Iranian Public as life savings are decimated wages frozen and prices rocketing as a result of the Regimes own isolationist and rejectionist policies Against all that Iranians see billions squandered on nuclear projects, weapons, support of Hezbollah and Hamas..and most of all the beathtaking corruption Yet their only answer is their daily mantra of Anti Israel Anti Zionist Anti West..Anti anything diatribes...in the hope they will divert attention from their disastrous failures But are people like Rezaei listening? Not abit of it Hes too busy listening to himself
19. very under estimate
Jesuss ,   Jerusalem   (10.08.12)
I think he talk about the first hour only because war with Iran means end of israel for sure, it is not joke, it is real that Iran will destroye Israel totally,
20. To: No. 7
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.08.12)
You see, the problem with Iran is that they believe their own rhetoric. All that Iranian braggadocio about top of the line air defense systems, cruise missiles -- complete and utter nonsense. There is nothing in Iran's arsenal that has the legs to reach Israel; there is nothing in Iran's arsenal that can defend against Israeli cruise missiles, particularly since Israel does have the capability of "blinding" Iran's early warning systems. The very fact that Iran would come out with a statement that "the Zionists wouldn't dare invade Iran" is testament enough to the depth of Iran's serious underestimation of Israel's capabilities. Israel doesn't have to invade Iran. We can destroy Iran without putting a single boot on the ground. The question is the degree to which Israel is prepared to go nonconventional. By the way -- did you know that approximately 111 rotting hulks that was once the Soviet fleet of nuclear submarines are anchored off Murmansk, their nuclear piles emitting far more radiation into the atmosphere than would be released into the atmosphere by an Israeli nuclear strike?
21. 2 words.... Bring It
jack bauer   (10.08.12)
Iran is doomed. Haman will hang on the gallows he made for us
22. "at least" are the key words. imagine rockets/missles
Vet   (10.08.12)
coming from ALL directions.
23. Jesuss , Jerusalem # 19
Arnold ,   Canada   (10.08.12)
Iranian fighter jets need to fly into Israeli airspace first in order to cause that much damage within the first hour. That flight alone is iffy. Even the IAF is troubled with the logistics of it all. So that would mean that Iran would need her proxies in Lebanon and Palestine to help. Any move from them would rain down massive damage within the 1st hour while awaiting the arrival of the Iranian force. Israel will be badly badly hurt but Iran and her proxies will suffer massively.
24. #19 wishful thinking doesn't count as legitimate opinion
Hakim   (10.08.12)
and why are you still there?
25. #4 Joe - Ft. Lauderdale
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (10.08.12)
YOu must have a real good telescope, being able to see 80,000, all the way from Ft. Lauderdale How about the loss of a major Iranian city, can your scope see that far?
26. #20 "Sarah B"
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (10.08.12)
You are forgetting Israel's secret weapon. The death ray that can cause earthquakes. Easy to want a war when you are at least 3000 miles away from where the bombs are going to fall.
27. Seems to me all Iran has is lip service
Mike ,   Israel   (10.08.12)
Come on if your so strong why not just wipe us out as you claim you can do everyother day. We are here and we will stay here.
28. iran
spookey ,   birmingham uk m   (10.08.12)
10,000 deaths in isreal me thinks at least 10million dead in iran what a numpty
29. Imagine their boasts if they had functional nukes!
Chaim ,   Israel   (10.08.12)
More empty boasts from the Mad Mullahs. They are scared Israel will do what has to be done and destroy Iran's nukes. Are there risks? Of course. However, the risks pale in comparison to letting Iran's genocidists build nuclear bombs. Imagine their boasts if they had functional nuclear bombs? Destroy Iran's nukes NOW!
30. Iran threats
Mark ,   Pasadena, USA   (10.08.12)
During the Cold War,Nikita Kruschev said he would bury the U.S. but we never had to fire a shot. Iran sounds like the old Soviets, on the brink of economic and societal collapse.
