ex-frummie ,   Johannesburg S.A.   (10.18.13)
U.S. gives Iran the N. Bomb as a present.
3. Obama
Mordechai ,   Beit Shemesh   (10.18.13)
Conned again, what a complete fool, they must be laughing their head off in Iran. How easy it is to fool him! the problem is really one thing he is an absolute coward, say boo to him and he will run. Frightened his ego will be damaged and as the first AA president go down in history for destroying the US which he is doing. Seriously one has to consider if he really is an Muslim and acting on their behalf. seems to be!
4. As usual,the obamateur gets it wrong...
Malone ,   Hfx   (10.18.13)
..what's new?
5. They WILL all unfreeze Iranian assets.
DT ,   TA Israel   (10.18.13)
That was a cert from the start. Hopefully Israel will do what is necessary against Iran in it's own and then watch the EU and US go into orbit
6. NO SENSE, no scruples...
aharon ,   jerusalem, isarel   (10.18.13)
Dumb & Dumber part 3!!!
7. Scream at Obama all you want, BUT
spyguy ,   seattle   (10.18.13)
The US no longer has any leverage with Iran (and neither does Israel). This is NOT Obama's fault but the culmination of 100 years of very, very bad decisions in the Middle east by the Turks, UK, French and the US. The latest bad decision was the government shut down by the republicans. This just accelerated and legitimized China's plan to de-americanize the world and remove the US dollar as the reserve currency. The republicans handed China a golden opportunity. China is building an alternative to SWIFT that will allow any country that wants to to circumvent all US and European restrictions. Countries want to do this because of the actions of the US treasury department and the NSA. BTW - Israel can not do anything except make Iran and most of the world extremely angry at Israel causing them to severely punish Israel economically. Be real careful what path your extreme hubris takes you down, you will not like the consequences.
8. Re: #7
Israel Watchdog ,   Akko, Israel   (10.18.13)
Give me a break. It was the sanctions that brought Iran to the table. It was the sanctions that made them choose a toothy way of negotiating. So yes, we do have the power to bring Iran to its knees. And yes, it is Obama's fault if he does not stick to his promises to Israel. Increasing sanctions is the only peaceful way of negotiating. Chess playing, lying Iran only understands threat. You put them up against the ropes and keep on punching until you get the knockout. If you back off, they will always regain they're wind.
9. #8 - The sanctions are falling apart
spyguy ,   seattle   (10.18.13)
because of the change in the US financial situation. The US has zero ability to increase the sanctions because Russia and China will NOT let it happen. The US team is dealing with a reality where they have run out of options and have to take the best deal they can from Iran or lose everything. You can rant and rave all you want, but the reality is the republicans severely hurt the US ability to convince Russia and China to help and the US has NO LEVERAGE over Russia or China. If the US tries to throw its weight around both will laugh in the US face. This is NOT Obama's fault, but the result of past presidents making very bad economic decisions. Obama can not deliver what has been promised in the past. For example, Obama can not get a war declaration against Iran through congress and if tried it on his own, he would cease to be president within a month and Biden would stop the attack immediately. Americans are NOT going to do anything to Iran that costs the US any cash or lives. Get used to the new reality.
10. Destroy Iran's nukes NOW!
Chaim ,   Israel   (10.18.13)
It didn't take long for Obama's pretension of opposing Iran's nukes to fall apart. It is obvious Obama is on Iran's side. Destroy Iran's nukes NOW!
11. Isn't it about time to impeach the Muslim traitor Obama ?
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (10.18.13)
12. iran has got no nuclear weapons. israel has
matteo dagostino ,   veglie italy   (10.18.13)
but although iran has got no nuclear weapons and israel the clerver, furbesque, israel has a vast arsenal that has never had the face to declare since they always use the arm of cheating, they are losing. they wanted war and destruction, but there will be no war and no destruction. who in the world would prefer war and destruction and no peace? why do they in israel prefer to see palestinians suffer or the entire iranian population? why so much sadism in israel? why don't they work to obtain peace? why do they want to castigat people?
13. Israel wants to trag US into an needly
Best Ally   (10.18.13)
war with Iran. A replay of Iraq, which natayhoo told cogress "absolutely certain Saddam has WMD".
14. Obama is letting Iran get nuclear weapons
CJK   (10.18.13)
obama was lying when he told the entire world that he will not let iran have nuclear weapons, and he was lying when he said he was not bluffing. obama is a pathological liar and no one should believe anything that comes out of his mouth.
15. #2: I completely agree.
Israeli 2   (10.18.13)
He already gave them a free drone...and countless Israeli secrets through other countries. But Israel is shrewder.
16. @12
Etienne Prinsloo ,   Nova Scotia Canada   (10.18.13)
I see there is more than one Berlusconi in Italy, and that is in itself a pity
17. Blinded We are
David P ,   New York, USA   (10.19.13)
As a young American Jewish, I find it hard "how" and "when" did we, as a nation became so disgusting and selfish. Do "we" only have a right to power? Others should just be crushed? Imagine, US putting sanctions on Israel so it can adopt a peaceful attitude, and imagine jews getting poor and hungry. Imagine the chaos, voilence and lawlessness that will ensue in Israel. Try to think from the others perspective? And that is what a Jew is, and that is what our faith is, not the other way around. Wakeup please, as you all make me sad. Now party on.

chemstar333 ,   Cleveland, US   (10.19.13)
You three individuals are a light among this perhaps very young religious individuals who want everything for themselves and nothing for any one else. But they can't observe their this type of attitude. When they do, they will be able to see what these three individual can see very clearly.
19. Historic mistake
Ezekiel Glockenspiel ,   Jew City, Antarctica   (10.19.13)
Isn't it amazing that the Iranian government admits to having such an advanced nuclear capability just when it looks like the negotiations in Geneva may result in the U.S. government lifting economic sanctions against Iran? Second point -- I believe Iran's next move will be to destabilize Saudi Arabia.
20. Not Obama but Israel who was Iran's BFF
lydia ,   Brisbane   (10.21.13)
Israel started Iran on the path to Nuclear technology, long before Obama took office. The same Israel that provided Iran with US weapons and sold Iranian Oil during US sanctions.
21. 10 Get your tin hat and toy gun and off you go then
lydia ,   Brisbane   (10.21.13)
But destroy Israels WMDs stockpile first since Iran has said repeatedly Iran supports a Nuke free ME while Israel is not.
