Hizballah officially declared an open-ended war on the United States last night during a formal pre-recorded speech of its leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, who said Israel was little more than a pawn in the hands of America.
Beyond the oratorical flourishes and psychological warfare, Sheikh Nasrallah’s hour-long speech was the clearest sign yet that he was preparing his own people for military setbacks, tactical shifts, and strategic changes, among them:
•--Nasrallah threatened to continue war against America and Israel even if Israeli forces passed the Litani River, even conquering all of southern Lebanon and even if they reached Beirut;
•--Nasrallah specifically offered a cease-fire of rocket attacks in exchange for an Israeli stoppage of its air bombardment in Lebanon;
•--And Nasrallah personally insulted America’s top leaders by name, calling them murderers, and claiming their faces were sullied with the blood of innocent victims.
“I declare that whatever happens in this war, Lebanon will not become American,” emphasized Nasrallah, pointing with the semi-clenched fingers of his right hand.
“What has happened in this war from the first day, and what has happened up till now —the killing, the massacres, the brutality—the responsibility for them must be borne by Bush and by his administration, the American administration,” declared Hizballah’s leader.
“And in our opinion, Olmert and his government are merely tools to be used in this war,” asserted Nasrallah, shifting the black cloak he wore atop his gray tunic. Then, looking straight into the camera, the Shiite cleric’s bespectacled face formed a savage sneer.

Good thing they told us. Otherwise, we'd never have known. ehem.
funny
Nor sure there is much to argue about.
From the article
Periodically during the speech, Nasrallah had trouble with his prepared text and pulled nervously at the tunic around his neck or rubbed his beard—signs that have appeared in a few of his wartime speeches.
hehehehe!
"I'm reading elsewhere that we should officially recognize these terrorists and play nice.
I say if they wanna declare war then lets get started."
(sarc), maybe we need to get advice from Ms. Sheehan? (sarc)
And more from the article!
But the tough talk from Nasrallah in part of his speech was belied by the increasing calls—in Hizballah’s propaganda broadcasts—for diplomatic or even military intervention on the part of Arab states on Hizballah’s behalf.
Hahahahaha
No deportation necessary, just round them up and detain them. They can work to support themselves, by gardening, and we will know where everyone of them is.
Unfortunately, there are a good number of these friendly folks already in our country. The FBI, CIA and others have reported on the presence of sleeper cells for years. Look at the reports that came out right after this started about concern that these cells may be activated. If we believe that the 9-11 cells were the only ones here, then we are as dumb as DemonRats believe we are.
Prior to 911 Hezbollah had killed more Americans then any other terrorist group.
I know they are on the payback list somewhere.
I think sheehan should go visit Nazzie baby and make peace. Someone lock the door after she leaves.
No. The vast majority of the country has still not realized it. Neither has over half of our political leaders.
OK, can someone remind me who is Nasrallah again?
An appropriate first response--our second should be to warn the inhabitants. Our third should be to use our arsenal and level every place he could be hiding.
Congressman Dingell of Michigan, who refuses to take sides in Lebanon, should be questioned about these statements.
The jackelope that is Ahm-a-nutjob is pulling the strings for in Lebanon. He is the Sheik of Hizbollah, not to be confused with the Iron Sheik of WWF fame.
"Unfortunately, there are a good number of these friendly folks already in our country."
That's just the point. What are they doing here?
The Mussies can't hurt us here from the Middle East. But they can hurt us if we let them in our country. Why have our quisling leaders let them in? Why weren't they deported and all Muslim immigration halted on 9/11? Why consider imposing draconian security measures on a free people just because our politically correct leaders (both Republican and Democrat) won't be truthful on this issue?
I believe the more important duty of our federal officials is to protect the security of the citizenry, not to be sensitive to multiculturalism.
I know...these Iranian-backed gangs are hard to figure out. I mean for the last 25 years Iran has been filling soccer stadiums with people chanting "death to America." How much more of an open war can we have? Does this mean he's activating sleeper cells within the US?
"Somebody had best tell all of the idiots in Dearbornistan that at the first hint of even one of them being involved in this, they ALL spend the rest of their lives behind barbed wire."
And if this sh*t starts over here, it may be a damn short life.
