1. Nobody will "fall" for him, they will simply follow the
tom ,   tel aviv   (06.16.13)
chosen path of appeasement for the sake of cowardice & secure oil from the Islamic world, oh and hate of the "Jew". It was true then it will be true now.
2. Obama and Ashton will gladly fall into such a trap
(06.16.13)
The question is, will Israel go along with them.
3. 1. Makes absolutely no difference who won
(06.16.13)
These guys are just puppets of Khomeini who makes all decisions. If he makes one wrong move, they’ll make him a martyr.
4. A religious cleric is still a religious cleric!
No change!   (06.16.13)
Obama, of course will be dazzled as will the rest of his silly clueless entourage....
5. Syrian civil war likely to cool down
N ,   N   (06.16.13)
The new Iranian president will implement an "Iran first" policy. That means less money for Assad on the condition that the West and the Gulf States don't arm the rebels to much. In 2014 a new Syrian President has to be elected, and if there is a lull in the hostilities that would be a face-saving opportunity for Assad to step aside.
6. Real reasons for an attack on Iran
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (06.16.13)
The author is another dupe who thinks he understands the game or he is lying to us like everyone else. The west is hounding Iran because Iran is no longer under their control. Iran is not selling its' oil in dollars. The entire agenda is connected to financial hegemony. Iran gets nukes and it threatens Saudia, America's money maker. The author needs to be telling us the truth, stop volunteering us to be the Americans and Saudis dupes.
7. Being dazzled is Obamas normal state of mind,
Mira ,   Vienna   (06.16.13)
why should that be different in teh case of Iran?
8. If He -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (06.16.13)
- Looks like an Islamist, Speaks like an Islamist, Walks in Life like an Islamist,, - He is an Islamist !. Arn.Sweden.
9. Masterstroke from the Iranians
Shachar ,   Eilat   (06.16.13)
After years of causing themselves nothing but damage the Iranians have come up with an excellent camoflage for their nuclear program, a moderate leader. And it should be enough to get them over the finish line. No-one really believes the Iranians won't build the bomb but they (the west incl Bibi) are the world's number one procrastinators. Any reason to do nothing they jump on it. Better hope the Mossad has some tricks left up their sleeve.
10. There are two "dead certs": Obama
DT ,   TA Israel   (06.16.13)
will be falsely placated, the EU-Quartet will say "all is well no need to tighten sanctions, we can relax because we can do business with Mr R" The centrifuges will continue to spin
11. Prophesies and predictions
Bertram ,   London, UK   (06.16.13)
I do love those talkbackers who see every event as an opportunity to reinforce their own opinions and and thus consider that they are well placed to foretell the future. Israel is truly filled with Biblical prophets! The future, however, is the one thing we cannot predict. You do not have to be adherent of chaos theory to believe that. Who knows what will happen in Iran? Who knows what will happen regarding its relations with Israel and the rest of the world? Who would have predicted, forty years ago, that China would become a major player in the global economy and have good international relations with the West, despite fundamental cultural differences? Things may turn out bad with Iran - or they may not?
12. yishai and israeli action
milson   (06.16.13)
israel will have to do its own work whether its chemical sites or nuclear facilitite unless rohani and the army eliminate the illegal ayatollah entity.Stop depending on the US and EU which have their own interests
13. Beware the lies of the corporate media
Dror ,   Haifa. Israel   (06.16.13)
The game is centered around western financial domination and the preservation of financial supremacy over all. It is bigger than Obama it is bigger than Bibi. God is Greater than all of it... As the muslims like to cry out "Allah U Akbar" at least they get some things right. chhh..
14. It shows political process works in Iran.
Michael ,   California, USA   (06.16.13)
Israel is surprised with changes in Iran, and so it the rest of the world. The democratic process in Iran is far from ideal by our standards, but it is much better than in many countries which dare to call themselves "democracies." All this shows that aggressive posturing against Iran is not warranted. Sanctions against Iran have worked in the past and will also work in the future. Carrots and sticks work and Obama's administration knows what it is doing. It's time for Israeli hawks who advocate nuclear suicide on themselves to shut up and allow smarter people than they are to find ways to coexist with Iran in peace. Trust the political process and wipe the foam from your angry faces.
15. Nr.11. You Err !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (06.16.13)
Its already predicted !. Read Ezekiel chapter 38-39. Even the Future of Great Brittain is there foretold, if You had the Spirit of God and its Revelation, You would know !. Arn.Sweden.
16. May even be a ruse...
Raoul ,   Herzliya. Israel   (06.16.13)
to have a "moderate" so they can "peacefully" get on with their nuke program.
17. To No. 15
Bertram ,   London, UK   (06.16.13)
Now, if Ezekiel had successfully predicted horse race results ...... (can't find a reference to Great Britain in these chapters, but I guess I don't have the Spirit).
18. Although I'm a feminist, Mrs. Ashton lacks brain
Lou ,   Bucharest   (06.16.13)
so I'm very afraid of stupid people making decisions. Look at this Kame-don't-know-what. Unless he quickly gets Alzheimer, he is going to a lot of damage to the peace of the world. He's teribly cunning indeed. Ashton is no match for such people. They eat her alive, women hater they are!
19. Delussional Americans.
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (06.16.13)
Iran is screwing you and you do not even know why.
20. Rohani vs Obama
Etienne Prinsloo ,   Sydney River, Canada   (06.16.13)
Obama 's stance against Israel might become even more hard line with Rohani in power. The feeling being that a so called moderate is in power. All the outcome of the election has proven is that the sanctions are hurting and are hurting bad. So keep them up! Khamenei still calls the shots so what exactly changed? Wil Iran stop backing Hezbollah or Assad- hardly likely.
21. TOO LATE
Rafi ,   US   (06.16.13)
22. Delussional Americans.
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (06.16.13)
Iran is screwing you and you do not even know why.
23. Obama is an ally of Radical Islam.
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.16.13)
Obama isn't "falling" for anyone. He is, and always has been, an ally of Radical Islam. When you understand this, everything makes sense.
24. #15, I predict your prediction is as poor as any hokus pokus
Michael ,   California, USA   (06.16.13)
25. Nr 17 and 24.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (06.16.13)
Ezekiel chap 38 vers - 6 Gomer and all his troops, Beth-togarmah from the far north and all his troops; many peoples are with you Comment - Search for youself the Keltic/Gaelic name of Wales in Great Brittain By !- Arn.
26. To No 25
Bertram ,   London, UK   (06.17.13)
The Welsh (Celtic) name for Wales is: Cymru. And you are one confused Swede.
27. Nr 26.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (06.18.13)
The Welsh (Celtic) name for Wales is: Cymru Comment - Cymru or Gymru - thats right !. Arn.Sweden.
28. Ashton brothers were the leaders of the military wing of IRA
Tripp ,   la paz,bolivia   (06.24.13)
