BEIRUT, Lebanon - Hezbollah's leader said Friday that his group is ready for "open war" with Israel, and as his words were broadcast, guerrillas attacked an Israeli warship that had been firing missiles into southern Beirut.

Speaking defiantly in an audiotape on Hezbollah's Al-Manar television less than an hour after missiles struck his headquarters and home, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah addressed Israelis and said they must take responsibility for their actions.
"You wanted an open war, and we are heading for an open war," he said. "We are ready for it."
"The surprises that I have promised you will start now. Now in the middle of the sea, facing Beirut, the Israeli warship that has attacked the infrastructure, people's homes and civilians — look at it burning," Nasrallah said.
"It will sink and with it will sink scores of Israeli Zionist soldiers. This is just the beginning," he warned.
Al-Jazeera reported the Israeli military was searching for four missing troops from the ship. Israeli officials would not immediately comment on the Arab broadcaster's report; an army spokesman said earlier the ship had apparently been struck by a rocket but that the damage was minor and no one was injured.

Anybody want to bet how long this guy continues to live? I bet he is dead by Christmas, er, Chanukkah.
Wasn't he thought dead this morning? I see another OBL in the making. He'll move around a lot now.
Christmas? That's pretty generous - this guy's lucky he had enough time to make one crappy audiotape before Israel decimated his headquarters.
And you will be annihialted very soon terrorist evil doers.
They strap bombs to their very own women and children and watch as they blow themselves and innocent women and children into pieces.
They hide in mosque, schools and hospitals often behind more women and children.
Only cowards attack unarmed and unsuspecting civilians.
And when they have to fight a real army, they cry to the evil United States to intervene.
Exactly. Who cares about international "judgment" when we all know who the real Judge is.
ps - search is your friend
Amen to that!
That's the funniest thing I've heard in a long time.
Today is a good day for them to die!
Israel says warship hit by Hezbollah drone By JOSEF FEDERMAN, Associated Press Writer

JERUSALEM - An Israeli warship was hit off the Lebanese coast by an unmanned Hezbollah aircraft rigged with explosives, military officials said.

The attack indicated that Hezbollah has added a new weapon to the arsenal of rockets and mortars it has used against Israeli troops. There were no details on the condition of the warship, though the Arab satellite channel Al-Jazeera reported the Israeli military was searching for four missing sailors.
The Israeli officials said the drone apparently was developed by Hezbollah. The Lebanese guerrilla group has managed to fly unmanned spy drones over northern Israel at least twice in recent years.
Now, where in the heck did Hezbollah get the technology for a drone?!
This man ( relative term ) is about to find out that open war means his own ass is on the line. It doesn't mean hiding behind skirts and children and co-opting teens to blow them selves up. It means You, yes YOU, you coward get to finally go toe to toe against an army.
Sure your ready?
As a side note, it's sad that lately all of my TV news is coming from CNN and CNN's Headline News. I wish Fox was running more coverage of this war!
I wouldn't have read this if bbr hadn't reposted it. Go be a crossing guard somewhere.
