Militants 'longing' to fight, Hezbollah leader says |
2006-07-17 |
![]() Speaking on the militant group's Al-Manar television station, Nasrallah denied an Israeli accusation that it was receiving help from Iran that included advanced missiles. Nasrallah said he taped the message at 1 p.m. Sunday, an apparent attempt to disprove Israeli media reports that he was wounded in the pre-dawn bombing of his Beirut headquarters by Israel. The message aired about 7 p.m. He urged global Muslim support for his guerrillas, who he said are "longing" to fight Israeli forces in any ground invasion. He promised "surprises." |

#11 Yes BA, surprises is definitely not what we want to see at the moment. Is Nasrallah crazy enough to do it? I hope not. |

#10 He promised "surprises." Interestingly, one of the translations I heard late last night used this term ("surprises") specifically in the context of hidden/surprising weaponry that Hezzbollah supposedly has. I pray its not what I think it is, but if so, we could see this get really nasty really quick. Of course, it won't last long, if they use chem/bio/nuclear. Israel will open a can so quick, the MM's won't even be able to blink. First, Beirut, then Damascus, then Tehran. |

#9 We "long" for all of them to fight as well. That way they can die quicker and this thing won't drag out through the football season. |

#6 If Israel weren't around they'd be fighting another neighbor until they got to us. |

#5 I hope everyone realizes that if Israel weren't around, they'd be fighting each other. It's really a psycho-social historical cultural regional type of thing. |

#3 He promised "surprises." I hope he plans to be dead by tomorrow. That would be very acceptable surprise. |

#2 Does SeethingTM come before, or after LongingTM? This whole things just confuse me. |
