MEMRI, which as a source of information on the Middle East dwarfs our entire mainstream media rolled into one and triple, scores an easy coup today by simply recording a transcript from Al Jazeera:
Interviewer: “Did you inform them [the Lebanese government] that you were about to abduct Israeli soldiers?”
Hassan Nasrallah: “I told them that we must resolve the issue of the prisoners, and that the only way to resolve it is by abducting Israeli soldiers.”
Interviewer: “Did you say this clearly?”
Hassan Nasrallah: “Yes, and nobody said to me: ‘No, you are not allowed to abduct Israeli soldiers.’
Do we believe Nasrallah here? If so: Game. Set. Match. Either the Lebanese government had no control of Hezbollah or no interest in doing so or, perhaps most likely, both.
“Hassan Nasrallah: “Yes, and nobody said to me: ‘No, you are not allowed to abduct Israeli soldiers.’”
A bit like a child saying, “Nobody told him not to poke his sister in the eye with a stick”
Hizballah, born and bred by homocidal Ayatollahs in Iran, many stories to read online how this abberation of religion was started. They are the ones behind the death of our young Marines in the 80′s and the bombing of our Embassy’s and our immigration laws have let them into the United States; you can see their signs and faces of cultish derangement at gatherings like the last one in Los Angeles. It has been outlawed here for years and branded a terrorist organization but the signs held at rallys show that it is well represented at Arab functions. Nasrallah has rock star status at these rallys, we have a growing 5th column of wannabe murderers; have you noticed?
Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah has had his hands in innocents blood for years, why would anyone believe this thug. I hope the FBI is taking names so that they can kick some ass when our home grown terrorists do more than send money to Hizballah.
I think we need to know exactly who “them” is as in “I told them” before assuming complicity at a high level in the Lebanese government so I’ll wait until Nazrallah names names before accepting his claim to tacit permission to proceed.
If Nazrallah’s kidnapping of soldiers is inspired by anything other than past successes vis exchanges with Israel and express consent from his Iranian paymasters, it would be all the negative feedback around attacks on unarmed civilians tends to generate among EU reps in the region, which to a mind like Nazarallah’s could be implied consent to cross into Israeli territory and attack members of the IDF.
PeterUK: I found the following from JPost similarly amusing.
Paraphrased from Jerusalem Post story today:
“Mahmoud Komati, the deputy chief of the Hezbollah Tuesday the guerrillas did not expect Israel to react so strongly to its capture of two IDF soldiers this month. …”The truth is – let me say this clearly – we didn’t even expect (this) response…. that (Israel) would exploit this operation for this big war against us,” said Komati.
He said Hizbullah had expected “the usual, limited response” from Israel….and anticipated negotiations to swap the soldiers with three Lebanese prisoners in Israeli jails, with Germany acting as a mediator as it has in past prisoner exchanges.”

Lesson for the rest of us (Again): these cretins respect nothing but extreme violence.
Lesson for Hizballah: You can only poke a tiger with a stick so many times.
Sorry, Hezbollah Mother Suckers, it’s Game On,
and there’s plenty of time on the clock….squirm and die.
