"Maria of NPR and Krondracke are in agreement that it's strange that the Arab League can condemn Hezbollah but not a Shiite from Iraq..."

Uh, not to belabor the obvious, but al-Maliki is a Shi'ite and utterly dependent on Shi'ite support. in Iraq. The Arab League is almost entirely Sunni. You make it sound like al-Maliki's being Shi'a would make it easier to condemn Hezbollah. Unfortunately, the opposite is true.

Just a minor point, but the AP report said "Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah vowed Wednesday". Could that have been last Wed? Because it is just 2AM on this Wed.

I heard someone on TV last night say that it would take a minimum of a month to get a group together to watch the border.

"I heard someone on TV last night say that it would take a minimum of a month to get a group together to watch the border."

They already have a force to "watch the border." What is required is a few brigades willing to engage Hezbollah and kill them if they try to move missles in the arrea.

The French have a couple idle divisions...............

You'll see the same footage on IBN news.

Time to get a clue.

I heard that as well. What no one seems to be willing or able to confront is who will do this? Arabs? Hah! NATO? Without real ROE's?

Looks like it was just aired. In time for the US evening newscasts??

Here is more:

Hizbullah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah has said his group's fighters would begin rocket attacks deeper into Israel, south of the Israeli port of Haifa.

Speaking to his group's mouthpiece al-Manar TV, Nasrallah said Israel's two-week-long military offensive against Lebanon was linked to a U.S.-Israeli plan for "a new Middle East," a term used repeatedly by US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during her just concluded visit to the region.

He also said Israel would have attacked his forces in southern Lebanon by October but moved early when his group captured two Israeli soldiers on July 12.

"In an American and Zionist assessment, there are obstacles to a new Middle East. In the new Middle East, the Palestine cause should be liquidated," Nasrallah said in a televised speech aired also aired on Lebanese and Arab satellite channels early Wednesday.

"In the new Middle East, there is no place for any resistance movement. The resistance movements in Palestine and Lebanon must be eliminated," Nasrallah added.

Nasrallah said his organization was ready to discuss an end to the fighting, but the dignity and national interest of Lebanon was what he termed a "red line," a reference to the heavy Israeli bombing and ground assaults on the country.

"There is no way that we can accept any humiliating conditions on us, our people or our country...especially after all these sacrifices. ... we are open to political discussions and solutions with flexibility, but the dignity and national interest is a red line."

The bearded Shiite Muslim cleric also said Israel could not win a ground war against his group, who would continue firing rockets into Israel no matter how far north Israeli forces penetrated into Lebanon.

"The goal of the incursion to prevent the rocketing of the settlements will not be achieved," he said. "The rocketing will continue no matter what the incursion is. We are ready for a ground confrontation. We will have the upper hand in a ground confrontation. We will recover any land occupied by the enemy," Nasrallah said.
