Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah: When We Were Young, I cannot Forget the Sight of American Forces leaving Vietnam, and the Americans Abandoning their Vietnamese Allies, I Anticipate the Same for our Region
Following are excerpts from an interview with Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, which aired on Al-Jazeera TV on October 31, 2006.
Hassan Nasrallah: We consider the resistance in Iraq, or in any occupied country - and there is no doubt that Iraq is an occupied country – to be legitimate resistance, which is justified and appropriate. This is the appropriate course, which may lead to the liberation of Iraq, and we support and endorse this resistance. But we definitely distinguish between military operations that target the occupation forces and the operations, which we term "criminal," that target innocent Iraqi people, and that shed blood under illegitimate slogans.

When I talk about an [American] failure, I'm not saying that the Americans' plan for the region has collapsed, and that they are packing up their things and leaving, like what happened in the final days in Vietnam. But I would like to tell you clearly... I am one of those people who see a very clear picture. In our childhood... When we were young boys... I cannot forget the sight of the American forces leaving Vietnam in helicopters, which carried their officers and soldiers. Some Vietnamese, who had fought alongside the Americans, tried to climb into these helicopters, but the [Americans] threw them to the ground, abandoned them, and left. This is the sight I anticipate in our region, but I am not saying it will happen in months. It will take years. The Americans will gather their belongings and leave this region - the entire region. They have no future whatsoever in our region. They will leave the Middle East, and the Arab and Islamic worlds, like they left Vietnam. I advise all those who place their trust in the Americans to learn the lesson of Vietnam, and to learn the lesson of the South Lebanese Army with the Israelis, and to know that when the Americans lose this war – and lose it they will, Allah willing - they will abandon them to their fate, just like they did to all those who placed their trust in them throughout history.

When I spoke at the rally on Friday, and said we have 20,000 missiles, they began saying: "There is chaos on the borders, and they can bring missiles in." This is not true. When I said that the resistance had more than 13,000 missiles, it, in fact, had more than 33,000 missiles. Now, when I talk about 20,000... For six years, we were preparing... or rather, anticipating a war some day - a vicious, large-scale, and dangerous war, knowing that the Israeli enemy would not keep silent after its defeat in 2000, and that the Israeli enemy would never accept an honorable, loyal, and serious Arab Lebanese resistance force as its neighbor in Lebanon. It was planning a war some day, and we were prepared for it. Now, we still possess what we had in the past. We were ready to fight for a long period of time, and we took into consideration the possibility of a siege by land, sea, and air.
But the world just got ALOT more dangerous last night.
ESPICALLY when the 1st thing I hear from these idiot pundits are how "the people sent a message to Bush to get out of Iraq somehow"
Political losses I can take and move on... its the actual loss of people's lives and the loss of respect I had for my fellow Americans is whats most distressing.
Bears repeating.
Death truly won last night... on many fronts.

If it is true that a people deserve the government they have, may God have mercy on us all.
Be prepared for several million dead in the Middle East and a couple of hundred thousand dead in the USA by 2010....
When I left Vietnam 40 years ago, I did not think that the U.S. would abandon the people there, but when I saw the TV footage of the NVA tanks breaking through the gates of the embassy I thought of those poor people thrown to the wolves.
I realize now that the same scenario may be happening sooner than we think.
Pray for the troops.
The people of Iraq have a terrible future awaiting them and when it comes to pass,they can thank Dean,Kerry,Kennedy,etc,etc.
Well, it's gonna happen, and this time it will come back on us. (see tagline)

More to come, I'm still perusing the al-Queda/Dumocrat sites
I wonder what will the Democrats think when Iran invades Iraq and then openly threatens the oilfields in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. We're talking possibly affecting the economies of Europe, for starters.
Yikes. This guy doesn't
even keep up with the views
of his fellow nuts!

"The problem with this kind of thinking, however, is that the Democrats are no more interested in stopping the expansion of the American New World Order System than are the Republicans. The fact is, GLOBALIZATION - WHICH IS, AS HENRY KISSINGER HAS SAID, JUST ANOTHER WORD FOR THE PROCESS THAT IS LEADING THE WORLD IN THE DIRECTION OF AMERICAN WORLD-HEGEMONY (AND IS ALSO THE PROCESS WHICH HAS LED TO SO MUCH OF THE WORLD'S BLOOD-LETTING AND MISERY) - has proceeded too far down the path to be stopped now.
"American corporations (and their lackey corporations in Europe and Japan) are by now far too entangled commercially in the Third World to ever pull out. To do so would spell disaster for them as commercial entities; it would mean the total collapse of the American New World Order System (to which the economies of the E.C. and Japan are irrevocably tied and to which they are utterly subservient) and the melt-down of the world economy. And make no mistake about it, THE DEMOCRATS ARE AS DEEPLY INVESTED IN THIS SYSTEM AS ARE THE REPUBLICANS."
[A TIME COMES WHEN SILENCE IS BETRAYAL -- THE DEMOCRATS ARE AS MUCH INVESTED IN THE AMERICAN EMPIRE AS THE REPUBLICANS ARE]
And for the Iraqis who voted for democracy. The thugs won't bother with reeducation camps like the North Viets did.
I lost a lot of that back in 1992... what was left, went last night.
Compared to that, nothing matters to them.
An ever growing number of people in this country resent and despise success. I see it coming out the gubmet scruwls. My kids has a dose of public and private school and the public schools was full of cynicism. They were only too happy to get back into the private system
They'll blame Bush for that one too.
I agree. Last night just told me that we will have to get hit again, and bad, for the snot nosed, fat dumb and happy among us to get it. We are a sick nation right now.
I would like the President to stand up today at his press conference and say if the democrats want to cut funding to our troops, he'll veto the budget. This will send a message to our troops and to our enemies at homeand abroad.
