The Obama administration is looking for ways to build up "moderate elements" within the Lebanese Hezbollah guerrilla movement and to diminish the influence of hard-liners, a top White House official said on Tuesday.

John Brennan, assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism, met with Lebanese leaders during a recent visit.

I love this quote:

is a very interesting organization," Brennan told a Washington conference, citing its evolution from "purely a terrorist organization" to a militia to an organization that now has members within the parliament and the cabinet.

Maybe we should of tried to strengethen "moderates" within the Nazis during the 1930s. I mean they went from an terrorist organization to having elected members in the Reichstag.

He’s pro-Islamist and anti-America. When will the public open their eyes?

If only Churchill had realized that instead of defeating the Nazi’s, he merely needed to cultivate the moderate elements within the party and they would take care of Hitler, D-day would not have been necessary and countless lives could have been saved.

I am sure the ‘moderate’ Hezbollah elements will be able to rein in Nasrallah and his gang of jew hating psychopaths. All those missles Hassan and his boys are accumulating for an attack on Israel will be taken apart and the missle shells will be turned into planters to grow flowers.

Sometimes I wonder if Obama has anyone advising him that has a basic grasp on reality and even a rudimentary understanding of history. To think our futures are in the hands of these idiots is scary indeed.

Love your posting #1! And I’d ask what constitute a “moderate Hezbollah”-ite? They use only landmines, not rockets to kill Israelis? They use knives instead of rifles?

This is a classic oxymoron.

Please forward to all retards among the Jewish community. Don’t worry about offending them because it is still Shavuous. It’s not like the asslibs (assimilated into liberalism) celebrate the holiday.
