“Drown The Middle East In Wars”
No, there is no coordination between Hezbollah and Iran. They are totally seperate entities and Hezbollah is not Iran’s proxy. It’s sheer coincidence that the President of Iran and the Leader of Hezbollah both offered their first, similar-sounding, public attacks on our impending arms sales to gulf states and Saudi Arabia today. Yeah, right.

Hizbullah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah criticized a US plan on Friday to increase military assistance to Arab countries, accusing Washington of seeking to drown the Middle East in wars.
Nasrallah was referring to a proposed US plan announced earlier this week to sell advanced weaponry worth at least $20 billion to Persian Gulf nations and provide new 10-year military aid packages to Israel and Egypt.
“The United States is bringing billions of dollars worth of arms to ignite wars in this region,” Nasrallah said in a speech beamed through giant television screens to hundreds of thousands of supporters in eastern Lebanon’s city of Baalbek. “The American administration is working on instigating sectarian strife and civil wars in Palestine, Iraq, the Gulf and… between the countries of this region.”
The increased aid is believed to be part of US plans to strengthen Middle East allies it deems to be moderate, largely as a counterweight to the growing influence of Iran - one of Hizbullah’s main backers, along with Syria.
The Sunni-led governments of the Middle East are also wary of Shi’ite Iran’s growing power, and Israel views the country as its principal enemy.
Nasrallah, whose speech was part of a series of events planned by the group to mark the anniversary of last year’s war between Hizbullah and Israel, ridiculed US President George W. Bush’s announcement Thursday that the US will freeze the assets of people deemed to be undermining Lebanon’s democratic government.
The Hizbullah-led opposition in Lebanon has been locked in a fierce power struggle with the US-backed government of Fuad Saniora. The opposition’s main demand has been the formation of a national unity Cabinet that would give the opposition veto power. Saniora, backed by the anti-Syrian parliamentary majority and the US, rejects the opposition’s demand.
Syria had significant control over Lebanon before its troops were forced to leave in 2005 because of international pressure following the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. Many in Lebanon believe Syria was behind the killing - a charge Syria denies.
Bush’s executive order targets anyone found to be helping Syria assert control in Lebanon or otherwise undermine the rule of law.
Nasrallah said the US was “using all its political, media, financial and legal means to terrorize, frighten and encircle the opposition in Lebanon.”
“But all this will not lead them anywhere,” he concluded.
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.

This chump is always talking about himself. He like other jihadi low-lifes mean what they say, but only in reverse.
The statement “The United States is bringing billions of dollars worth of arms to ignite wars in this region,” Nasrallah said in a speech beamed through giant television screens to hundreds of thousands of supporters in eastern Lebanon’s city of Baalbek. “The American administration is working on instigating sectarian strife and civil wars in Palestine, Iraq, the Gulf and… between the countries of this region.”
- really means -
Iran, Syria, the Soviet Union and China are bringing billions of dollars worth of arms to ignite wars in this region,” Nasrallah said in a speech beamed through giant television screens to hundreds of thousands of supporters in eastern Lebanon’s city of Baalbek. “The [Iranian and Syrian] administration(s) {are} working on instigating sectarian strife and civil wars in Palestine, Iraq, the Gulf and… between the countries of this region.”
He’s right about one thing ,“But all this will not lead them (Iran and Syria) anywhere,” he concluded. Except maybe to a one way trip to hell.
Fuck him.

August 4th, 2007 at 12:12 pmThe Arabic script is essentially phonetic, with many sounds with no exact English equivalent. So — many words and names and place-names etc. are approximations, and there can be several approximations. What’s really funny is trying to figure out what’s meant by an English name which was transliterated into Arabic, and then back. Sometimes only the faintest resemblance to the original.
