#2 Dammit, we GAVE Israel MOABs. Then they ignore a chance like this? Schmucks.

#3 250,000 to 300,000 Hezbo sympathizers, including the Grand Poobah, crammed into a 36-acre spot, and Israel, loaded with an estimated 200-300 nukes, has to bite the bullet.

Just goes to show the folly of nuclear deterrence against state-sponsored as well as free-lance terrorists.

#4 In a black turban, with a slight lisp, Nasrallah has an almost innate sense of a crowd. He builds an argument with highly formal Arabic vocabulary, then delivers a point in almost conversational slang. His most emotional refrains are delivered bluntly, in a stentorian staccato. Then he mixes in jokes, a few words in a softer voice, and sometimes a quick aside.

Have any of you watched this maggot's oratory in the "Obsession" video? He reminds me of no one else except Adolph Hitler. The emphatic, strident spittle spewing rhetoric is a dead-on match for the German tyrant. "[A] slight lisp" would sure explain all sorts of compensation mechanisms on Nasrallah's part. Napoleanic doesn't even begin to cover it.

In his speech Friday, he said he had debated whether to attend the rally until a half-hour before it began.

I'm sure he knew damn well just what the odds were that Israel would finally have had enough and blow his worthless ass away, crowd and all. Whatever the international outcry, Israel could have delivered itself of a huge percentage of Lebanon's Hezbollah faction in a single bombing run that day.

"But my heart, mind and soul did not allow me to address you from afar," he said.

And thereby did Israel miss a golden opportunity.

#5 I have lost all confidence in Israel and most especially their current government. I pitty the Israeli people Olmert the LLL has humiliated himself and his entire nation people in one fail swoop. This Nasralla victory speech was nothing but the icing on the cake.

If I was a Israeli I would be looking real hard towards Netanyahu or someone that at least has the sack to retaliate against blantant aggresion (and hell yeah it better be way over measured compared to the aggression).

#6 Dammit, we GAVE Israel MOABs
We gave the IDF bunker busters,
it's unlikely more than 10 MOABS exist.

#7 ... said Mahmoud Birjawi, a 35-year-old Lebanese expatriate who flew from Venezuela two days ago, in part to attend the rally.

And the crowd chears for Hugo. Very disturbing.

#8 Indeed. It's like Mississippi and Arkansaw allied themselves.
