This is a much watch tape of an interview with Nasrallah!

It starts about half way into the program.

This helps every much in explaining the man’s thinking.

We know that Israel’s invasion and destruction of Lebanon was a long pre-planned operation. They were merely looking for a pretext. As it happened, the “kidnapping” served the purpose.

Perhaps Mr. Nasrallah is right to regret providing this pretext; but if he hadn’t, Israel would quickly have found (or contrived) another.

Something smells fishy here. This makes as much sense to me as if Emperor Hirohito announced after WWII that he would never have bombed Pearl Harbor if he had known Japan would lose Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

You’d think “leaders” would be bright enough to at least envision “the worst that can happen” when choosing from plans of action.

Nasrallah:”“No, definitely not, for humanitarian, moral, social, security, military and political reasons.”” I ask, what exactly is “humanitarian” or “moral” or “social” about launching a rocket into (primarily) civilian human habitation? I ask the same question of the Israelis, of course.

I don’t think I’m getting any smarter so it just has to be that the world’s leaders are getting more stupid with every passing day!

sounds a little like Bush, which should really make him think.

Hezbollah’s leader must realize that if hadn’t been the kidnappings, the US-Israeli invaders would have come up with some other incident, meaning that this latest invasion has been in the hopper for who knows how long, being that nations need large lead times to prepare their armies for war.  Once the troops are ready any old trip-wire will do.  Back In 1982, for example, it only took a failed assassination attempt on the Israeli ambassador in London to set the mighty Israeli military machine in motion. That war cost the Lebanese and Palestinians some 17,000 lives (half of them civilians) and Israel more than 500 of its soldiers.  .
Granted that even one person killed is one too many,  maybe from now on Israel, having been given a wupping by Hezbollah,  will be agreeable to meeting with its neighbors,  instead of making war upon them.  And once this happens,  we’ll be that much closer to peace on earth, goodwill to all living beings.  If so,  those who were killed in this latest invasion wll not have died in vain and Hezbollah’s decisive stand will come to be looked upon as a turning point in world history.  .

Anyone who believes this should check to see if there still are lots for sale 500 yards from Bradeenton Beach!
