Lebanese President: I Support Hizbullah
Arutz Sheva ^ | July 26, 2006

Posted on 07/26/2006 11:38:11 AM PDT by West Coast Conservative

Lebanese President Emil Lahoud said today that he supports the Hizbullah terrorist organization.

"I support the Hizbullah because they liberated our land," Lahoud said, adding that the Lebanese army does not have the wherewithal to confront the IDF, but that it will defend Lebanon as much as it can.

Hizbullah is a part of the current Lebanese government, with one of its members serving as Lebanon's minister of energy. Lahoud is widely regarded by Lebanese citizens as a Syrian agent in the country's regime.

Lahoud is and has been a puppet of Syria.

The organization operates against Israel in four main ways:

Bringing terrorists and collaborators through the border crossings using foreign documents
Setting up a terrorist organization inside Israel and in Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip
Cross-border operations - smuggling weapons and terrorists
Financial support for Palestinian organizations and groups.

Just because he's a Shia doesn't mean he needs to support the Lezbos.

Well, with any luck, by the time this is over, shia's will be the minority where they belong.

The PM should be packing his bags. The Lebanese government will not survive this conflict, as there is nothing to prevent even a militarily degraded and desperate Hezbollah from staging a coup once the Israelis have forced it north into Beirut.

this scenario is as crazy as if Bush allowed the Knights of Columbus to become an armed (by Mexico) militia, and start bombing Montreal from Plattsburg NY. And when repeatedly asked why he allowed it, he would say, "I support the Knights of Columbus".

"Good job, boys!"

Just when I was starting to feel sorry for the Lebanese. Also Mr. President, if you and your army allowed the Hezbollah to illegally cross the border and kill and kidnap Israeli soldiers, you don't get no money from the victims. Dumbass.

"The President speaks for the nation. The president is responsible for his nation. The government of Lebanon agreed through the UN-brokered deal to disarm Hezbollah and prevent them from attacking Israel from Lebanese lands. They have failed. Indeed, this quote shows that they were lying the entire time. They deserve to have their infrastructure demolished until they decide to honor their words.
The people of Lebanon have few choices:
1. They can leave until the terra-forming is complete.
2. They can quickly and effectively get a new president/government/system that will ensure that such promises are kept.
They can take up arms and fight for one side or the other
4. They can shut up, sit down, hide, and pray.

There is no other way, nor any more just solution."

Total destruction of the government along with hezbollahs armament stash is what may need to happen but it won't. Now that the president of lebanon speaks also for hezbollah since he "supports" them, that also means a UN or USA sponsored cease fire deal can now be initiated.

Emil Lahoud is Christian for identification purposes and political purposes. That's the politics in a place like Lebanon. Even if Lahoud only goes to church at Christmas

At least he deserves a credit for his honesty, Convert -:))) ! An honest thug is better than a thug pretending to be a dove.


Grzegorz, you might be interested in this too. The claims that Hezbollah is one thing and Lebanese govm't is another contradict the reality.

The IDF should take a cue from the Greek playbook in what they did to Troy, killed its leaders, soldiers, and adult males, kidnapped/enslaved its children and hear the lamentations of their women...
