Okay, I've always said that Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, is a few cards short of a full deck but this time, he's insane. Nasrallah made a statement today that Lebanon will not elect a new President unless the Hezbollah-led opposition party gets veto power in the future government.
Hey Nasrallah, why don't you just stand up and say that Lebanon can't have a new President unless it's YOU!! Moron.
Nasrallah is pounding his chest now that he's had a half year of summits with Syria and Iran - he is getting cocky. And when Nasrallah gets cocky, Israel has to be on high alert. The world, and especially the West, have sat around with them hands in their pockets and heads in the sand while Hezbollah STILL has not offered up return of the kidnapped Israeli soldiers (or their bodies), and they've stood by while Syria has assassinated Lebanese govt. official after official, and yes, they've also stood by for weeks now as Syria has interfered with the election of a new President.
It's the same story, different book cover here, folks. Lebanon will end up with a government full of Hezbollah power and veto power, if not a hand-picked President. And that will mean serious bad news for Israel, for the West and quite frankly, for the entire region.
Here's the full story of this piece of shit's statement.

Hezbollah Wants Veto in Lebanon

BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) - No president will be elected in Lebanon unless the Hezbollah-led opposition gets veto power in the future government, the leader of the militant group declared Wednesday.
Sheik Hassan Nasrallah accused the anti-Syrian parliamentary majority of creating the current presidential deadlock by refusing a partnership with the Syrian-backed opposition.
"A solution lies in a partnership through a constitutional guarantee (and) through a veto power for the opposition, which represents more than half of the Lebanese people," Nasrallah said in an interview with the private Lebanese NBN television.
A parliamentary session to elect a new president was postponed for the 11th time on Dec. 28 with feuding factions deadlocked over a constitutional amendment and the shape of a future government. A new parliament session has been set for Jan. 12.
The crisis over the presidency has capped a yearlong power struggle between anti-Syrian politicians, who hold a slim majority in parliament and support the Western-backed government of Prime Minister Fuad Saniora, and the opposition led by Hezbollah.
Nasrallah accused the United States of obstructing the presidential vote by telling its allies in the parliamentary majority not to give the opposition a veto power in any future government.
"As long as there is a U.S. decision not to give the opposition a veto power, this means there won't be a presidential election," he said.
