The Farce Continues

According to al-Reuters news service, their reporters, aka Hezbollah, in Lebanon have declared victory:

"We are before a strategic and historic victory, without any exaggeration," Nasrallah said. "We emerged from the battle with our heads high, and our enemy is the one who is defeated."


It's difficult to argue with that statement of fact. Hezbollah will remain armed, willing and able to continue its mission of Genocide with the help of its puppetmasters in Tehran:

IT was supposed to be the day the maligned Lebanese army took control of the country's borders and policed the UN ceasefire.

Instead, the military commanders were left humiliated and troops stranded as Hezbollah told them not to disarm its fighters.

The first infantry units were preparing to head south when Hezbollah showed who controls the area by announcing it would not surrender its weapons.

The Government can't force Hezbollah to abide by the ceasefire," Economics Minister Sami Haddad said.

"It's unnatural to have an armed political party in cabinet that does not abide by what the Government of Lebanon wants."

There were optimistic murmurs about trying to integrate Hezbollah fighters into the army. But Hezbollah seems to have decided that the demand for its fighters to disarm and leave the 20km arms-free zone would show it as losers in the conflict.

One soldier said Hezbollah was better armed and organised, and that he was reluctant to confront "the resistance fighters".

Another soldier said his brother and a cousin were fighting for Hezbollah. "I can't turn a gun on the resistance, because they are family," he said.


The West has suffered yet another total defeat. No mention from certain quarters on how using the "Just Surrender Theory" of Michael Walzer is going to eradicate Hezbollah.
