Hizbollah Challenges U.S. to Take Away Its Weapons
2005-03-31
BEIRUT (Reuters) - A defiant Hizbollah leader challenged the United States Thursday to send troops to Lebanon to carry out its call to disarm the Shi'ite Muslim guerrilla group. "We tell America and all those who want to disarm the resistance in Lebanon and the resistance in Palestine to safeguard Israel: ... This is forbidden. It is not possible," Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah told a rally in Beirut. "What is left for them is that the Americans come themselves to disarm the resistance and the (Palestinian refugee) camps in Lebanon. I wish they would come, I wish they would come," he said to applause.
Be careful what you wish for.
Washington lists Hizbollah as a "terrorist group" and has called for it to lay down its arms. A U.S.-backed U.N. Security Council resolution calls for the disarming of Hizbollah and Palestinian groups in refugee camps in Lebanon. "All of us will protect the resistance, protect its role and its duty," Nasrallah said.

#9  I'd like to see a Moab dropped on a Hizbollah rally. NO warning, no attempt to take credit, just the hammer of A-lah out of nowhere.

If somone blames us we claim it was on its way to Iraq and slipped out the back of the cargo plane. Sorry.

#8  Jeez, I wonder who'll probably be the first one on the express bus to Teheran if we take him up on his wish? The heavy lifting part of "The Struggle" is for the little people, right Naz?

#2  Not wise. If the US has to disarm you, they're going to f*cking DISARM you. As in, they'll be picking up the pieces from both sides of the road.
