London: Iran will supply Hezbollah with surface-to-air missile systems in the coming months, boosting the guerrillas' defences against Israeli aircraft, according to a report by specialist magazine Jane's Defence Weekly on Friday, citing unnamed Western diplomatic sources.
In a meeting, held late last month, the Lebanese Shiite Muslim militia called on Tehran to "accelerate and extend the scope of weapon shipments from Iran to the Islamic Resistance, particularly advanced missiles against ground and air targets."

Oh you poor misguided thing. You haven't a clue what this is all about do you.
Report: Israel to "supply" Iran with surface to surface missiles
Why thank you for your consideration.
When the muslims come to chop your head off, I will not stand in the way.
However, I will kill any and all that come towards me, my family and my neighbors. Pray you are my neighbor.
For this writer, it took many years of seeing the world outside my parents protection to arrive at my current beliefs. In my younger years as an American, I believed in the total goodness of mankind. I knew nothing of hate, racism, wars or politics. I was taught at home and in my schools to love everyone regardless of nationality, gender or religion. Those days where full of hope and possibility. I was once certain in my heart that the world we live in is full of people that only want to live and let live. My thoughts were that those who did not take my views need only to be given a touch of that all-powerful love and they would see how things could really be. It was devastating to find out that there where those that truly hated beyond any reasoning and that no amount of kindness or love would dilute their way of thinking.
As if it wasnt enough to learn of real hate and wars, I learned that there are political leaders that use those wars to bring themselves to power. I became keen to maneuver through this political trickery. I learned that the worst politicians where those that preyed on the innocents. They tell opponents of hate what they want to hear, that war is very seldom necessary and blame it on the greed of their political opponent. They defy the facts of struggle after struggle, war after war throughout our human history in order to find favor in the American heart. I learned about those amoral, power hungry brokers that seek to widen the divisions in our country, using well chosen words that sound eloquent and intelligent to pit race against race, gender against gender, rich against poor to increase their own support in their quest for power. My eyes where opened and I knew there must be others that thought as I did. So I sought them out and found that they were called Republicans. I joined the just cause to bring back those things that I valued most, the ideas of my youth, that where taken from me by the real nature of this world. There was still hope.
Then, on September 11th, just when I thought I had seen every species of hate that the world had to offer; I learned of the islamic extremists. Without any room for doubt, they made their goals be known. Their calling in life was to promote their higher power by erasing us from the face of the earth because we are what they call the infidels, the ones that dare to tell them that we do not agree with their spiritual beliefs. They teach their children in their so-called schools that we are less than dogs, sub human. Without remorse, they attack the innocents. They applaud the effort to deliberately murder women and children in the most gruesome way possible to further their cause of fear and intolerance.
I long for the liberal days of my youth when everything was brightness and light, before I learned about the hate, before that one bright morning when the reality of the madness of the world came crashing in.
Liberal, I support you in your journey to find the sad truth. The reality is that the world is not what any of us want it to be. Unless those that would kill the liberal-at-heart are removed from power, the world will not ever be what we all want it to be. I am one of those people who will forever dream of peace on earth, but dare to see things for what they are today For you that have not found it acceptable to face these unbearable truths, there will always be those of us on the right who are willing to protect you from the hate and madness of these killers, even if you despise us for doing so. For those who can see that the dreams of our youth are still so very far away and that more work needs to be done to bring back the hope, wont you please join us in this fight for our freedom?
Where's Bob Dornan when we need him?

I do not care about allies. I care about survival.
Alexander the Great slaughter thousands because they killed his ambassador. It may have been Susa.
They slaughter was reported to be 6,000 people, man, woman and child. Think about it! 350bc and a city of 6,000 people.
What does that equate to today?
Get a clue. We are at war and only the numbers of death will bring about victory.
You're starting to catch on.
Are you that damn stupid? I have next door neighbors who are Pakistani muslims. They are definitely peaceful.
I am talking about those who proclaim the muslim faith superior ot all, rather than those who proclaim, "let us live in peace".
I know the distinction. The Hezzbollah command that all Israelies die. Therefore, their desire should be their outcome. They should all die. All men, women and children!
Get it!
Persian = Indo-European = Aryan, believe it or not.
yitbos -- Eh, eh, I worked for an American from Iran in Lafayette, La. oilfield service. Yes, a Mr. Arabi. Fine American.
Iranians have shown their "worth" in the war with Iraq.
When the enemy is dead, violence from him ceases.
yitbos
Yup, kick their ass and then take their ass..then give the gas
away for free to europe and they will then cry "death to the Iranians..long live free gas!"
Euroweenies are very unreliable allies you see.
OOp.. shoulda bee
kick their ass and then take their gas
It's late, I'm sleepy
I shall lay down now and dream of the destruction of the troublesome Iranians :-)
Yes. They were just as shocked about the whole notion in Bosnian and in Rwanda. One day the neighbors were peaceful, next day they chopped you up with machine guns and machetes.
He's our PRESIDENT, elected, not selected, now get lost troll!
We let the politicians walk us off into Iraq to fight a political correct war with the enemy dictating the rules of engagement.
We let the press and the enemy tell is what are and are not legitimate targets and we wait for them to attack us and then we check with them and the press to see what is the appropriate response.
We must not hit them harder than they hit us because that would be unfair.
Most of all we are not to send in a large force and make real war crushing a ruthless enemy as quickly as possible and walking off and letting them rebuild their own country .
Now we have wallowed around in Iraq and turned what should have been a good sound 30 day thrashing putting the fear of God in these people and any potential future enemies.
Now we face a losing situation where our country loses respect and the enemy is seen as winners and they will be much stronger and highly encouraged to continue their campaign against us.
Now we are pressing I Israel to do the same with the same enemy cease fire and give them more land [Sheba Farms] which Hez have been trying to get ever since Israel left Lebanon the first time.
This was the area they used to continue their attacks after Israel left even though the U.N. itself passed a resolution saying the Farms where never part of Lebanon.
Now The U.S. and France want Israel to give it to Hezbolla for kidnapping and killing Israeli soldiers as part of the cease fire.
This is why we are losing the War on Terror.
We need to get our troops home and keep them here until we get some leaders care more about winning and worry more about our troops than they do about world opinion and the killing of civilians who are supporting their soldiers and hate us just as much as the ones that are pulling the triggers on our men.
We should have made a stunning example of the Middle East and on Islam right after 9/11.
If we had the world would have been a lot better place today, instead of a ruthless enemy starting to believe they can win.
