1. So haji hassan Bibi Won't Attack tehran
(12.03.13)
Without a green light from America. Just like You Never take a hudda, oops I ment leave a hudda, unless your baba in tehran gives you permission!
2. you can say a lot of things about nasrollah
iraj   (12.04.13)
without a doubt, and one must be honest about this, aside from wild exaggeration and warped criticism of israel, nasrollah is the greatest leader in the arab world and is vastly superior to olmert, livni, peres, barak and even bibi. He has steel in his bones. Israelis can learn something from nasrollah who basically puts all on the line and says lets go whereas israeli leaders run for over, hide behind the US like pipsqueaks.
3. Just remember one thing...
manicdrummer ,   Haifa, Israel   (12.04.13)
Israel doesn't need a green light to bomb Hezbollah. It's called "thinking before speaking." Try it sometime, Mr. Nasrallah.
4. #2 Nasrallah shakes like a bowl of jelly
Benji ,   US   (12.04.13)
Fearing the same fate as Yassin and Rantisi. He even shot down Lebanese helicopters imagining they were the IAF. Brave as long as he sends other people's sons to occupy Syria and die for Assad.
5. He has steel in his bones
Ezra ,   San Diego   (12.04.13)
His steel must be heavy to carry, because he runs underground whenever Israeli forces are near.
6. Nasrallah really doesn’t have much to shout about
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (12.04.13)
Hes seeing his whatever little ‘popularity’ he had go down the toilet Hezbollah Fighters desert Hezbollah every week Rohani is less and less inclined to shower money at Hezbollah and support Hezbollah Martyrs in Syria in the way that AhMADinejad did Lebanese are sick and tired of the Hezbollah/Iran Military Occupation of South Lebanon and making one half of Lebanon a GIANT NO MANS LAND And most of all – Should Nasrallah try to repeat the mistake of starting another Hezbollah/Iran War from Lebanese Territory against Israel – they will have up to 15000 trained Militia who know the locations of every Missile Dump and CC Centre to deal with Nasrallah really doesn’t have much to shout about

He is right Bibi won't attack without the US green light thats not just Bibi its all PM's. Eshkol even went to get US permission to preempt in 1967. I think the only time a military operation has been conducted without US permission was the attack on Saddam Hussains nuclear reactor because Begin knew Carter would not give permission and he was right. In the UN afterwards even the US voted to condemn Israel for the attack. The Iranian nuclear issue has been around so long now and Bibi will have many times explicitly been told hands off Iran by Obama especially since he did sold out to avoid any chances of conflict to increase Kerrys chance of being the next president and not a Republican. Unless Bibi does get a green light from Obama he won't attack because we rely on he US for military aid and their UN Security Council veto so if we blatantly defy Obama over this there will be hell to pay and thats Bibis problem. He is ready to do something Obama just wants to surrender.
8. #4 Bibi the Pilot?
Sarah B ,   London/Israel   (12.04.13)
So, will Bibi personally pilot the F16s if he ever gives the order to bomb Iran? Or will he join the special forces on the ground? No? Didn't think so. Also the IDF can't/won't go with out the US Green Light (which war weary Amercia will not give them) and thanks to the massive US radar base established in Israel a few years ago, the IDF can't take off without Obama (and Iran if he choses to tell them) being informed with in seconds.
9. #8 Sarah B
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (12.04.13)
Would you advocate Barack H. Obama giving this information to Iran?
10. #9. Klein
Sarah B ,   London/Israel   (12.04.13)
What Obama does or does not do is up to him, but the fact remains that the US has a massive radar base in Israel (not to mention spy satilites and other tracking stations) and the Irainan goverment can say to America 'there is no way the IDF can attack us and you not know about it. So if they take off and you don't stop them, or tell us, we will assume you support their actions and hold you complicit'. Then, supported by their ally Russia, Iran would strike at US bases in the Gulf.
11. #8 Life is full of surprises Mr. Sarah
Benji ,   US   (12.04.13)
You can look in your crystal ball and predict all you like. The last person to be informed will be Obama since he never knows anything. At least that's what he says.
12. NAS.........
Lebanese 2 ,   usa   (12.05.13)
Nas..... your Iranian bosses' very lucky to have Obama on their side.
13. #10 Sarah B
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (12.05.13)
Why don't you just answer my question (regarding your post #8)? Do you advocate Barack Hussein Obama giving sensitive Information to Iran - yes or no?
14. SAD BUT TRUR
Nick Joury ,   NYC. USA   (12.21.13)
Israel will not do anything with out USA ok it. SO US THAT AN INDEPENDENCY?
