| Report: Nasrallah is in Damascus |
| 2006-07-27 |
| A top Iranian envoy was in Syria on Thursday for talks on the Israeli-Hizbullah conflict in a meeting that brought together the guerrilla organization's two key sponsors, according to Iranian news reports. A Kuwaiti newspaper reported that Hizbullah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah was taking part in the session. Kuwait's Al-Siyassah newspaper, known for its opposition to the Syrian regime, said the meeting was designed to discuss ways to maintain supplies to Hezbollah fighters with "Iranian arms flowing through Syrian territories." Al-Siyassah said it learned of the meeting from "well-informed Syrian sources" it did not identify. According to the newspaper, Nasrallah was moving through Damascus with Syrian guards in an intelligence agency car. He was dressed in civilian clothes, not his normal clerical garb. The Mehr news agency in Iran said Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, was in Damascus for meetings on the crisis, but gave no other details. Similar reports were carried by the Iranian Labor News Agency and the Fars agency. Al-Siyassah said Larijani would meet Syrian President Hafez Assad and Nasrallah. There was no mention of Larijani's travels in Iranian state-run media. None of the reports could be independently confirmed. |

| #7 Brave Nasrallah ran away. Bravely ran away, away! When danger reared its ugly head, He bravely turned his tail and fled. Yes, brave Nasrallah turned about And gallantly he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet He beat a very brave retreat, Bravest of the brave, Nasrallah! |

| #5 If we know Baby Asshole, Nasrallah, and Iranian military is meeting in Damascus, I think US should hit it with massive attacks for 24 hours , leveling everything around the suspect area. They might be in bunkers, but it would provide a nice wake up call. It's time to provide real time assistance to Israel. |

| #4 "You guys stay here and resist the Zionist incursion. Remember, if you die, you die as a glorious martyr to Islam." "Where are you going, Sheik?" "Damascus." "But the Zionists are here." "I'm going to, uh, get reinforcements and supplies and, uh, bring them back here 'cause, uh, you see, I'm not . . . not . . . not worthy of glorious martyrdom like you. Yeah, that's it, that's the ticket. Seeyagottagobye!" |

| #3 Israel should kill them there if they have the coordinates. It would drive home the fact that he's a creature of Iran and Syria. Doesn't look like Israel is willing to escalate though. I would have liked to see their cabinet meeting today as well. |

| #2 When Nasr asks for zillions more in cash, missiles, etc., Iran may simply tell him that Allah is on his side. It would be cool to watch that meeting. |
