Hezbollah Won't Back Down

Well, who would have thought it? From a CNN breaking news email alert-

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah says his guerrillas would agree to any cease-fire brokered by the United Nations but insists the militant group has a right to resist Israel.

In other words, we agree to the ceasefire so long as it only applies to Israel and we get to resume full scale "firing rockets blindly at civilian targets" again soon.

I'll bet the UN folds, the attacks against Israel continue or stop for just a short time, and then Israel is criticised the next time it tries to do anything about this attempt by murderers to blow up civilians.

Odd that when the British police stop just such a plot politicians in the UK and US hail it as a success- but when Israel tries to do exactly the same thing it's lambasted.

It's funny how the news media is reporting the exact opposite. Headlines are reading: "Hizbollah agrees to ceasefire."
