Joe Biden threatens Lebanon's sovereignty
Just ask Hezbollah:
[...] "US Vice President Joe Biden's visit to Lebanon on Friday is a clear move by Washington to meddle in the country's internal affairs only two weeks before the elections," Hezbollah MP Hassan Fadlallah said.Elsewhere in the Iranian press Ahmadinejad pontificated that "Efforts to elevate Iran's dignity should continue":
"We call on all Lebanese, regardless of their political views, to rise up against such meddling moves which represents a flagrant violation of Lebanese sovereignty," he added. [...]
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said here Friday that the path to dignity and grandeur of Iran should be trodden with better and fuller insight.Mottaki, meanwhile, "warned of enemies' constant plots to divide the world of Islam":"Today's conditions resemble a launching pad and through better and complete insight of national capacities and capabilities, we should continue the path to enhance dignity and grandeur of Iranian nation," said Ahmadinejad in his first election campaign address broadcast on national radio. [...]
[...] He said the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, relying on traditions of the holy Prophet, has been successful in uniting Shiites, Sunnis and different ethnic groups.Funny how that works. They are quoting Ynet quoting Hezbollah, but a PressTV headline reads "Israel plotting to assassinate Nasrallah":He added that unfortunately, certain Arab leaders and intellectuals were defining the plots, so we should try to confront them. [...]
A senior Hezbollah official warns that an Israeli plot to assassinate the movement's leader Seyeyd Hassan Nasrallah would "set the region ablaze".Explosive news . . .In an interview with the Arab language daily Asharq al-Awsat Nawaf al-Musawi said Israel was conspiring with "many states" to assassinate Nasrallah.
"A decision was taken in Israel to assassinate Nasrallah, and many states have conspired with Israel on this front", Ynet quoted Musawi as saying on Friday.
He said the assassination -- if materialized -- would "cause an all-out explosion," in the region. [...]

Israel is the match to the Arab powder keg. Funny how that wouldn't be the case if the Arab World wasn't a powder keg in the first place.
Posted by: NormanF at May 22, 2009 5:12 PMIt is so hypocritical of Fadalallah to say such things when he is so open to meddling from Iran and Syria
Posted by: Abou Wadih at May 22, 2009 7:56 PMHope Israel kicks Iranian ass all over the middle east and I hope the USA assists it. Unfortunately,
Mr. Obama probably does not have the guts to stand up against Islamic radicals and terrorists, meaning Israel will most likely have to be the leader this time as "Our Leader" is currently not in power.
This Lebanon "thing" hints of the U.S version of "freedom and democracy." In other words, if the free elections go the way we want, will give you all a lot of money. If the free elections don't go the way we want, we'll arm your enemies and kill you!
Posted by: Ron M. at May 23, 2009 12:44 AMPerhaps we should not be so arrogant to think that we need to be the leader in the Middle East. It is Israels fight.
Posted by: Jack B at May 23, 2009 1:21 AMIf George Bush would have just taken more time to collect intelligence and leave Iraq the hell alone, then Russia and China wouldn't have a thing to say about attacking Iran's Nukes.
Israel just needs to get this thing over with. The longer it waits the worse Iran's counter attack will be.
I suggest that Israel strike Iran's Leadership first and hard.

The only but kicking that israel can do is to kill unarmed women and children. They could not capture a small town defended by less than 40 Hezbollah soldiers in 33 days of the 2006 war so they simply bombed women and children in their homes in Beirut. It sounds to me that they got their but kicked all over lebanon the last time

Wishful thinking on your part, scumbag. I have yet to see hezbollah trying to start another war with Israel almost three years later, so it looks as though Israel pretty much kicked hezbollah all over Lebanon, contrary to what was initially believed.
BTW, killing unarmed women and children is the MO of muslim terrorists.
