| Hezbollah: US troops face defeat in Iraq | |
| 2003-07-26 | |
US occupation troops in Iraq face defeat, a senior political official of Lebanon's radical Shiite movement Hezbollah predicted Thursday. "The Americans must know that defeat awaits their 250,000 troops in Iraq and not victory," Ibrahim Amin as-Sayyed said in a speech in the southern port city of Sidon. "It was God's will for their forces to be gathered over there so as to be defeated," he said. Just as "God wanted the Zionists to be gathered in Palestine to be defeated." Sayyed said Hezbollah was not concerned by the US pressure on Syria and Iran to halt their support for the movement, whose fighters were widely credited for Israel's pullout from south Lebanon in May 2000 after 22 years of occupation. Given the strength of Hezbollah, the United States and Israel should "stop and think a thousand times before doing any damage to Lebanon", he warned.

| #6 That's right, Mr. Ibrahim Amin as-Sayyed, it's Allah's will that we are gathered in Iraq to be defeated by Hezbollah. Come and get us. Come on, now, don't be shy... |

| #5 As far as I know Hezbollah still has an artillery/MRL park about fifty miles inside of Lebanon. Don't these guys understand how quickly and totally they can be wrecked by artillery and MRL? They need to give it up and go home. Find a nice girl, get married; raise a family. Don't make us deal with you. |

| #4 Allah has been having a lousy track record of late. He lost Afghanistan, and now Iraq, it looks like Iran is going to fall, leaving essentially the House of Saud all alone. Or maybe that is all Allah's plan in the first place. Maybe Allah got sick and tired of the murderous butchers claiming to act in his name and decided to change sides. |

| #3 The Mouse That Roared - again and again and again. What's truly amazing to me is that, given Allah's track record, they still swallow and spew (or is that spew and swallow. Hey, I like wymyn - oh, nevermind...) this tripe. The 250K troops "gathered" (What a fucking moron: gathered... no wonder they get their asses handed to them regularly, they fail to even recognize that America has a bona-fide leader willing to use the power of his nation...) to stomp the piss out of a dictator who played the "I'm a Sunni" and "I Love the Pals" cards when it suited him, and a murderous thug dictator when that suited him. Allah has been on the sidelines for a long, long time, Ibi. You just took credit for being in the right place at the right time when the sine wave of Israeli public opinion finally pulled out the troops. Hezbollah couldn't stand against an army of one on its best day, going downhill, with the wind behind it - unless his back was turned. But don't get a clue, puhleeze, we want a good shot at you before you catch on. I still see Syria as a two-fer... take them out and you get Lebanon as a bonus - and just think about the benefits of taking out a primary breeding ground and staging area for these assholes. SyrLeb is such a juicy target that I'd bet the neocons are like your dog begging for a piece of bacon - their whole body's a' waggin... |

| #2 Well maybe Mr. Al-Sahh^H^H^H^H^H^H^Has-Sayyed should send his forces to Iraq to fight the Yanks then if his gang of thugs is so big and bad. After the floor gets wiped with his scumbags, Israel will have one less terrorist organization to worry about. |
