Hezbollah's Nasrallah Says He Is Backing Iraqi Insurgency


This is the first time that Nasrallah has poked his nose into the Iraq War, publicly, but of course, after recent developments in Lebanon where this clown has come out the winner, we more than likely are going to see him spouting off about everything from the Iraq War to the Great Satan in America to what the price of oil should be. Here's a bit from the article over at Al Jezeera:



Hassan Nasrallah, 'the secretary-general of Hezbollah, has said that his organisation "is siding with the resistance in Iraq" in a speech to hundreds of thousands of supporters in Beirut, the Lebanese capital.

"The Iraqis, Shia and Sunni, who took part in the political process wanted to give it a chance," he said in his address on Monday.
"But now that the real American goal in Iraq has been exposed the Iraqi government is put to a test."

Two observations I have about this:

1. Iraq's leader Maliki has just gone through his most trying time politically as he stood up to fellow Shia leader, al Sadr, and the Mahdi Army and I'm pretty sure that Maliki isn't going to appreciate Nasrallah sticking his nose in Maliki's plans.

2. This buffoon, Nasrallah, may have just put a bullseye on his back with America military command. There is plenty of evidence of Hezbollah backed fighters having been in the middle of things down in Basra and with this speech, Nasrallah has legitimized his backing of the attacks on Iraqi Army and U.S. troops.

Personally, I think these are the actions of a wannabe world leader who let his overthrow of the Lebanon government go to his head. This asshat just aligned himself with al Qaeda in Iraq. He has shown the world that he is FOR the killing of innocent Iraqis, Iraqi military and American troops.

This was a mistake Nasrallah. You may not pay today or tomorrow for it but just remember one thing: there are a lot of Americans that still remember what you did to our Marines in Lebanon many years ago. We have never forgotten. And you may have just given us the acceptable reason to finally take your fat ass out.


Hezbollah 'to back Iraq resistance'


Hassan Nasrallah, 'the secretary-general of Hezbollah, has said that his organisation "is siding with the resistance in Iraq" in a speech to hundreds of thousands of supporters in Beirut, the Lebanese capital.

"The Iraqis, Shia and Sunni, who took part in the political process wanted to give it a chance," he said in his address on Monday.
"But now that the real American goal in Iraq has been exposed the Iraqi government is put to a test."

It is the first time Nasrallah has issued a challenge to the Iraqi government to take a stand against the US military presence in Iraq.

"The Americans allowed the elections and the formation of parliament and a government so that they get an Iraqi legitimisation of the occupation," he said, referring to a reported Iraqi-American agreement that would allow the US to have a permanent presence in Iraq.

The speech by Nasrallah, aired over a video link to supporters, was part of celebrations to mark eight years since Israeli forces withdrew from southern Lebanon.

His surviving July 06 boosted his confidence enough for him to pull off his little putsch, the overwhelming success of this operation(with the exception of those pesky Druze) has vaulted him to his lofty position now. He thinks he is in the cat bird seat. But sooner or later his self inflated ego will cause him to screw with the Isralis just one more time, sooner or later Olmert will go or be taken down, and he will test the new leader's resolve. Hopefully this one will have the courage to look at his generals and say "do whatever you have to, to finish this. We will worry about "world opinion" later.
