Hizbullah leader promises enemy 'more surprises'

BEIRUT: In his third televised speech since the Israeli war on Lebanon, Hizbullah secretary general Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said the resistance would use all possible means to defend Lebanese territory.

"Hizbullah is strong enough to achieve victory over the Israelis," he said. "The enemy cannot impose on us when and where to attack or how to react."

"We will continue. We still have a lot more and we are just at the beginning," Nasrallah said in a taped appearance aired on Sunday evening. "We promise them surprises in [any] confrontation."

"In the beginning, we started to act calmly, we focused on Israeli military bases and we didn't attack any settlement," Nasrallah said. "However, since the first day, the enemy attacked Lebanese towns and murdered civilians."

The resistance leader said Hizbullah militants had destroyed military bases, while the Israelis killed civilians and targeted Lebanon's infrastructure. He added that Hizbullah's arsenal had yet to take a direct hit "and so far we have used a small portion of our weaponry."

Addressing the Israeli Army, Nasrallah said: "The houses you attacked are occupied by innocent people; they don't contain any weapons or missiles."

"I also want to address the Israeli people and tell them 'Your government is lying to you. I tell you that you will be defeated,'" he said.

"I assure you that Israel has no idea about our capacities. We built our arsenal in a very secretive way," he said.

Nasrallah also commented on the rocket bombardment of the Israeli city of Haifa.

"As long as the enemy has no limits, we will have no limits," he said.

Nasrallah added that despite the violent and continuous raids on the South and Beirut's southern suburbs, "Hizbullah has not lost its "determination."

"They are planning to enter the Lebanese land," Nasrallah said. "We tell them that we are eagerly awaiting land confrontations. Any land confrontation will be good news for us."

Nasrallah also spoke directly to the Lebanese people.

"You are a great people," he said of the Lebanese. "We can depend on you to save Lebanon from humiliation. Don't worry about what is being destroyed, but we hope that the wounded will recover and that all the people will be safe."

Nasrallah also denied the presence of Iranian soldiers in Lebanon.

The resistance leader addressed Arab and Islamic countries, saying: "I know that your governments are incapable of doing anything, but you are concerned and should take a position over what is happening."

"If Israel achieved victory, all the Arab peoples would be humiliated and the US interference in our affairs would increase," he added. "Today, we have a historic opportunity to defeat our Israeli enemy."promises enemy 'more surprises'

Time to find a resurrection or reincarnate of General "Bull Dog" Pershing, and send him over to help Israel! After he dealt with Islamic terrorists, the world didn't hear from them for......... how many years???

Remember these words of President Bush?

We will starve terrorists of funding, turn them one against another, drive them from place to place, until there is no refuge or no rest. And we will pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism. Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime.

It will be interesting to see how much your line or reasoning plays out in all this. It may be a significant thing. I would like to think so.

There, all fixed.

I've got not problem with that. I agree that it's a terrorist organization and that's all.

The only thing about this garbage that worries me is the nagging question about chemical weapons secreted in the Bekaa Valley. If those old speculations turn out to have been correct then this macho gibberish could actually make sense. If so, it will be a whole new picture soon, albeit not a very nice one.

Hizballah, the terrorist gang in Lebanon has already surprised me by holding out this long. Unless outside help is massively given in the next few days, Hizballah is toast.

"Hizbullah is strong enough to achieve victory over the Israelis,"

Hizbullah's famous last words.

"Hizbullah is strong enough to achieve victory over the Israelis,"

This sounds like something that Baghdad Bob would say. If Bob isn’t in jail, they should hire him to go on TV and make these threats.

These arabs are an effeminate race and distinctly very poor at verbalizing their thoughts. Maybe its their mustachioed wives.

Nah. It's their petite weenies. Islamists have to be the most insecure people on the planet. Why else would they be so afraid of opposing views that they have to kill everybody around them? IMO, theirs is a culture of massive ineptitude, intolerance, and cowardice.

Uggh! If your fears are correct, I hope the Israeli population is properly prepared. I think I remember that the Israeli government had taken great pains to prepare for the safely of their citizens in case of chemical warfare.

I certainly do remember those words and I think we should do exactly what he said. Kill the terrorists and hold those who help them accountable, as our enemies.

"...one hit an Egyptian ship far out at sea instead."

I heard that the ship was hit by "an Israeli barge shooting wildly in all directions."

LOL. It all comes down to the sausage, the pork, the hot dog, the salami. Sorry, just had to put that in.

When this Nasarallah guy speaks, I don't see swagger or machismo. I really don't think he is capable of either one. IMHO, there is absolutely nothing masculine about any group of terrorist thugs, nothing. A Barbie doll is more macho than these impotent lunatics could ever dream about being.

They keep lying with the thought that it will become truth if they say it often enough. They're kinda like liberals.

Lies! All Lies! Your soldiers are being slaughtered at the airport right now. (is that a US tank gun barrel behind his right shoulder?)

ROFL! "Lies, All Lies!" became a family joke. Great to recall when a dem moves his lips. (Sometimes also applies to RINOs)
