Comments for Iran fires medium range missile, tests US »

Posted By israeligirl1 7 months, 1 week ago in News

Iran test-fired a medium-range missile yesterday, increasing pressure on President Obama, who claims that talks with the Iranian government will produce better results than military threats. The rocket is capable of reaching Israel, US bases in the Mideast, and parts of Europe. Beyond that the timing is worrisome as well.

        "Iran fires medium range missile, tests US "

        This title is a bit misleading. 0bama is the one being tested.

        ".....President Obama, who has staked his reputation on the idea that talks with the Iranian government will produce better results than military threats."

        I don't think 0bama speaks thier language.

          Israeli missiles can reach any point in the world and it is widely believed that Israel HAS nuclear weapons, Tehranchik.

          On the other hand, you (and some others) repeatedly said that Iran does not have any plans to acquire nuclear weapons. If you still believe that this is the case can you explain how will it possibly use those (nuclear capable) medium range missiles it is busily developing?

            What's your point, tehranchik? I can certainly understand if some people are disappointed that the Jews aren't willing to walk into the ovens and, "heaven forbid", actually defend themselves against the bloodthirsty and murderous Arab/Persian Islamics. Is that what's bothering you?

              Israel has not threatened to wipe any country off the map.

              Has it?

                Neither has Iran. As has been clearly documented, the original statement claimed to state "wipe Israel off the map" was an on-purpose mistranslation

                  Funny, virtually every credible news service continues to print the supposed "mistranslation".

                    Even funnier is the fact that no one was able to explain the TRUE meaning of the original "misrtanslated" statement Iranian President made except the Iranian President himself. The LITERAL translation of his statement was about the "regime in Jerusalem" that would "disappear from the page of times". After a lot of arguing about the meaning of these words in the media Iranian President clarified his words explaining that he was saying that the State of Israel should be destroyed.

              I can not but agree that Iran has the same capacity for thoughts, as anyone else upon this earth...and to cause them subjection will only prove what physics proves...the return.
              They are liken us and we all share the totla of all of us in each and every birth upon this Earth. We share the burdens of maintaining order, and someone will one day quit slavery or sibjection...by not patenting and by starting our children on an even level ground, like we men are shown...level, by birth.

                The Shah is looking really good. My Iranian friend has the best memories of Iran under the Shah and she was a minority Shiite.

                  A "minority Shiite"? Who are the majority in Iran then?

                    Does this test of a medium range missile violate some treaty Iraq has signed?

                      Not yet but it clearly shows that Iran is making a lot of effort to develop such missiles. This, in turn, means that Iranian leaders are either planning to possibly use these missiles in the future or, alternatively, are complete idiots spending hundreds of millions on useless toys just to give Israelis and, possibly, Americans a reason to attack them.

                      This brings us to the same old question I was asking here for some time, Mr. Nunez:

                      How will Iran possibly use these missiles if it does not have plans to develop nuclear warheads to fit them?

                        I reall am not sure if your agenda has anything to do with this, Iran has stated their intent to destroy Israel, do we need to know anything else. The UN is useless and will do nothing, Obary is to busy arguing with ******** Cheney to notice and lacks the stomes to make a difference anyway.

                          Iran or any other Arabs and Muslim countries should acquire better weapons to match that of the Israeli weapons and capabilities and also should be able to hit them back if they attack any Muslim country. I don't think anything wrong in acquiring to deter American and Israeli Zionists from invading Muslim countries in the name of Democracy and freedom.

                            Yeah the Zionists are blood thirsty and they want another Middle Eastern war that can keep Israel alive for another 60 years. America is the only country that can protect Israel by sacrificing its own citizen and money. Israel would have been a history long ago if not America's unqualified support that always provided money and weapons. God did not choose those Europeans converted to Judaism as the chosen people of God. If the Jewish people who live in the Middle East claim this, it could be at least justifiable but the Jews reject Zionism and fear mongering.

                              Can you make up your mind, Daylight? Either the Zionist want another Middle Eastern war that can keep Israel alive (and in this case they would not need American protection) or, alternatively, they DO NOT want any more wars because without American help these wars may make Israel history.

                              Make up your mind, would you?
