Hizbullah distributes Leaflets claiming victory
2006-08-14
Hizbullah distributed leaflets on Monday congratulating Lebanon on its "big victory" and thanking citizens for their patience during the 34-day war with Israel.

Supporters of the guerrilla group were seen passing out leaflets to cars heading south on the Zahrani highway, which connects the hard-hit southern cities of Nabatiyeh, Tyre and Sidon.

"Congratulations to you on the big victory, with the support of God, the mujahedeen (holy warriors) and your patience," it read.

The flyers also warned people not to touch any suspicious objects, which could be unexploded ordnance.
Predictable.

#9  I should stop posting after midnight as I can't see what I have typed.

The tribalist islamc world sees this as a victory. It will spread far and wide that they beat Israel.
What can you do against a world view that stands in the rubble of their civilization and society and declares it a victory,

The only way to deal with them is to wipe them out entirely. That is the only way you can ever beat them. We have not learned this lesson. We will continue to 'lose' to them until we do.

#8  Jules, I agree. But what's even more ridiculous is that they are still conscious.

#7  Is there anything more ridiculous than Islamists boasting? Honestly, for folks who are perpetually consumed with "humiliation", they certainly are unaware of how ripe they are for ridicule. They need a better rear-view mirror.

#6  I find this hard to stomach, but it is a victory for Hezbollah. They are still here. They still have massive weapons caches with which to threaten Israel. Israel is no more secure. Lebanon and Hezbollah are now one and the same. The UN force will prove to be as ineffective as they have been for the last 28 years. Olmert and Peretz have led the war as PR specialists, not warriors in defense of the Jewish state, and have cow-towed to the anti-Israel Euro lobby in the UN.

Of course many Hezzies were killed and many of their hideouts were flattened. Of course Southern Lebanon's infrasturcture is decimated. But the Hezzies are still breathing air. In the inimitable words of Douglas MacArthur, "In war, there is no substitute for victory".

#5  We won! We stopped Israeli advances by hiding behind the innocent women and children that we kidnapped so they wouldn't join the refugee lines
Would'nt they have stopped the Israeli advances by not attacking the Israeeli's? And then Lebanon would not have billion's of dollars in reconstruction to boot.

#1  We won! We stopped Israeli advances by hiding behind the innocent women and children that we kidnapped so they wouldn't join the refugee lines. And our ability to hide and launch missiles among civilians, allowed us to pose our dead shields for Eurabian atrocity propaganda. While assuming the propaganda highground, we attacked civilians with anti-personnel ordenance, and we torched over half million trees in Israel, lebanon and the West Bank. And we kept Teheran's ill-gotten oil money coming our way. True, we agreed to a ceasefire that prohibits re-armament, but unless the frontier with Syria is monitored constantly, anything can and will come our way. And our new status of symbol of resistance to America, will cause Israelis to emigrate en masse. We made Iran the new regional power, and the US is too obsessed with making the Iraq mess work, to challenge it.

That is what they are thinking, folks. I can think of a huge cure for their optimism...
