1. Rice is correct.
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (03.03.15)
It is 100% impossible to stop Iran from using nuclear technology. The ONLY thing that can be done is minimize Iran's ability to make nuclear weapons through rigorous inspections that Iran agrees to. Existing third-party sanctions are disappearing and there is NOTHING the USA congress can do about it and there is ZERO chance of any additional third-party sanctions. Russia, China, Asia and Europe will simply not allow it. As for bombing Iran, that will FAIL miserably, isolating the USA and Israel and ensuring Iran gets nuclear weapons. The BOTTOM LINE is the P5+1 is getting the best deal it can and Israel is just going to have to suck it up and live with it. Those that advocate war with Iran are just flat out delusional.
2. Netanyahu versus Obama
Tom Johnson ,   Clearwater, Fl, USA   (03.03.15)
Ask yourself, "What is more important to Obama: Israel's security or golf?"
3. Rice admits: Obama is unable to stop Iran
CJK   (03.03.15)
rice admits that the deal obama will sign with the shia terror regime is a "bad deal" it is amazing that the us national security advisor declares openly that a bad deal is better than no deal. what she is admitting is that iran will get nuclear weapons once obama is out of office.
4. Rice and Obama
(03.03.15)
Rice was complicit in covering up the genocide in Rwanda until it was too late. As part of the Obama regime, she is complicit in the genocide of Christians and Yazidi in Syria and Iraq, as well as the mass murders in Libya.
5. Stopping Iran
(03.03.15)
Rice is right: soundbites won't stop Iran, but what will? Regime change? The Green Revolution almost succeeded until Obama intervened on the side of the Mullahs? Military attack? Obama gloated during the "chickensh*t" scandal that he protected Iran from Israeli attack, and now it is too late. Obama's negotiated agreement? No one knows, but because Obama is so hysterical about preventing anyone from knowing any details it is unlikely. US economic sanctions like Netanyahu wants? Probably better than Obama's negotiations, but by no means certain
6. #5 you have your "facts" wrong
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (03.03.15)
(1) the so-called "green revolution was never more than a miniscule part of the population and had no chance of success no matter what the USA did. BTW - Obama did NOT intervene on either side. (2) Obama did not "protect" Iran from Israeli attack, that was done by the IDF leadership that took Bibi to the shed and knocked some sense into him. There is no way any Israeli attack on Iran woudl be anything but a massive failure. (3) All international negotiations are done in secret and the details are only made public once they are agreed to. (4) there are no further possible USA direct sanctions on Iran. All that were possible were put in place in1979. Not only are no further third-party sanctions possible, but the existing third-party sanctions are going away and the USA has no way to prevent it. The bottom line is the ONLY options are (a) ignore Iran and let it do whatever it wants (b) negotiate reasonable agreement (c) start a war with Iran that the USA and Israel will LOSE. There are NO OTHER OPTIONS, so which do you choose?
7. Sound bites wont stop Iran and neither can obama the girlie
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (03.03.15)
iran never had it so good, an admiring obama who'd gladly throw Israel under the bus knowing America would be the next target of Iran. And, we were lead to believe that obama was not a muslim.. LOL What else do you call him, a eunuch? KEEP BUILDING !!!!
8. Netanyahu is attaching a precise MOMENT to USA's treason!

9. Problems stems from fact that Obama admin think
barbara ,   Haifa   (03.03.15)
we the people are stupid idiots. Think about it ! What stops plans and development of nuclear weapons ? It certainly is not talking, or diplomatic pressure. If world cannot stand up against Iran than prepare for the end.
10. really ?
MICHEL ,   Ashkelon   (03.03.15)
What is not stoping Iran but on the contrary encouraging it is your Obama-Kerry politics.
11. #3 - NOTHING you or anyone can do about it
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (03.03.15)
As Rice pointed out, there is NOTHING Israel or the USA can do to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons if they desire. The ONLY thing that can be done is, with Iranian cooperation, minimize the possibility. If you think starting WW3 will solve your problem, think again, it will just get Israel destroyed. There is NO military solution to this problem because the USA and Israel have reached the limits of their military power. Your ego may not like the fact that you have limits, but that is just how life goes. Accept your limits and get on with life.
12. It's not all bad news
Claude ,   UK and Cape Town   (03.03.15)
Sanctions will still be in place. Regardless because they also suit the Russians. They also need to keep Iran in line. Russian oil now gets sold instead of Iranian oil, albeit at a much reduced price. And he needs to sell every drop. Russia deeply weary of an Islamic regime so close to its Southern border. Sanctions have had a dramatic effect on Iranian Life. Rampant inflation, shortages of basic foods and consumer goods. Over 180000 young Iranians (desperate for a better life away from Supreme Leaders and Religious Police) leave every year. Venezuela a one time ally of Iran is on the verge of collapse and N Korea will follow. Putin is fighting in Ukraine and is deeply suspicious of Iran's close links to Islamic terror in Checnya. Most frightening is that Iran is so reliant on Russia and N Korea to develop the nuclear technology. Neither nation renowned for reliability and safety of its nuclear engineering. Would you buy anything made in Russia!
13. AIPAC is a huge disappointment.
David ,   Hartford USA   (03.03.15)
A bunch of wealthy old Jews inviting a bunch of liars to lie to their faces. What pathetic morons. AIPAC does not speak for me. Obama has 'forged' (given away) a deal that will allow Iran to enrich uranium so that it will be able to make a bomb. Obama's own people have said that, at best, it will slow down Iran's 'got-it' date by a year. One year. One year until Iran, a country whose leadership has threatened Israel's destruction for decades, has a nuclear weapon. When Iran explodes its first nuke, Obama and the 5+1 idiots will be held accountable as accessories to genocide. Israel will have no choice but to render Iran impotent. So much for Obama 'having Israel's back.' AIPAC should disband, they are a disgrace. They have lost their way as they kiss up to the democrats who come begging for Jewish money. J-Street and AIPAC: self-important clowns who represent nobody but themselves. Time for a new organization.
14. All of the humans in the world
US citizen ,   US   (03.03.15)
can not stop God's program, for humanity and with Israel, from progressing as it has been written. It will be tragic but Israel will remain. Thanks and praise be unto you Lord God of Jacob.
15. SOUNDBITES WILL NOT HELP
