The Unknown King of Terror

GLOBAL JIHAD/ The unknown king of terror

Hezbollah military chief has longer resume than bin Laden

March 12, 2005

WorldNetDaily.com

Though his name is unknown to most, a Middle East terrorists boasting a long resume of attacks and who takes order from Tehran will prevent any sort of peaceful freedom from breaking out in Lebanon, reports geopolitical expert Jack Wheeler.

In a column on his intelligence website, To the Point, Wheeler notes that the Hezbollah's chief of military operations, who has over 20 years in the terror business, is set to start a civil war in Lebanon.

Wheeler ties the situation directly to Iran, Hezbollah's chief sponsor.

"I have a very bad feeling about Lebanon," he writes, "this could turn out really ugly. Dispatch after dispatch, story after story, and all you read about is Syria's getting its troops and spies out of its colony. Congressmen like Darryl Issa, R-Calif., write newspaper op-eds entitled 'Lebanon: Democracy's Next Stop.' All without a word about Hezbollah. All without a word about Iran."

Wheeler goes on to describe the challenge of de-fanging Hezbollah.

"Hezbollah – the Party of God – is a group of 25,000 Shiite terrorists armed to the teeth, and nobody is asking the most important question of all regarding Lebanon's fate: Who gets to take away Hezbollah's guns? You simply cannot have a private terrorist army running around Lebanon and expect to create a peaceful democracy, even if every Syrian soldier and secret policeman leaves for Damascus."

Syria, Wheeler states, is not the chief problem for Lebanon – it's Iran.

Writes the analyst: "Bashar al-Assad is a puppet of the Mullacracy in Tehran. The people who give the orders to the Syrian troops in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley are Iranian Revolutionary Guards, the Pasdaran. Hezbollah was founded in 1982 among Lebanon's Shia Muslims with money and weapons from Iran. It is run by the world's worst terrorist, who is most decidedly not Osama bin Laden.

"Osama is a Hollywood terrorist," Wheeler continues. "He's got the memorably euphonious name, the looks of the classic bearded/turbaned Muslim crazy, and staged the most horrifically Hollywood disaster movie attack imaginable. He makes the perfect Hollywood arch-villain. But he too has become a sideshow, a distraction. The most important and dangerous terrorist in the world is a man most everybody has never heard of. His name is Imad Mugniyeh. He is the true King of Terror."

Wheeler then lists Mugniyeh's terror rap sheet, everything from organizing the 1983 killing of 242 U.S. Marines in Lebanon to involvement in the 2000 USS Cole attack. Besides countless acts of terror, Mugniyeh, Wheeler says, was involved in shuttling Saddam's WMDs into Hezbollah's care before the Iraq war.

Predicts Wheeler: "Imad Mugniyeh and the Hezbollah, at the direction of Iran, will ignite another civil war in Lebanon, destroying that country's chances for democracy and freedom from Syrian colonial control – and halting thereby George Bush's Middle East Freedom March right in its tracks."

Wheeler's solution for Bush? "Regime change in Iran."

Yup. This will also end the worst of the terrorist scum in Iraq. It's all one big octopus anyway. We're actively fighting a couple of arms. Time to take out the head.

No point in beating up the puppet when you should be after the puppet master. Hezbula is still the wild card in the entire middle east region. If you can fight them in Lebanon I'll bet things in Irag calm down to nothing. And what about Israel? A US/Israeli vs.Hezbula war in Lebanon? Not likely. Lebanon has already had a resent civil war and wont want to go there again.

Imad Mugniyeh has all the pre-requisites of the kind of terrorist you see in movies in that no one knows how he looks like,where he lives,what is the exact scope of his influence in Tehran or on Hezbollah.All this also makes him a potentially harder target than OBL,whom a lot of folks know see a symbolic figurehead.

IIRC,I read on an Israeli website that that particular photo of Mugniyeh(which I think is the most used one) may probably be false.

"Lebanon has already had a rescent civil war and wont want to go there again."
Normally civil wars come to a happy ending with a complete subjugation, expulsion or extermination of the losing side. Otherwise one could speak of an unfinished (or interrupted) civil war, which is left to smolder till the next conflagration. Given the nature of Lebanese society, wouldn't it take a leap of imagination to speak of Lebanese civil war as "finished business"?

Bushehr is the least of the problems. It's the hidden facilities that are the problem.
