For 34 days, Abu Shaker was a Hezbollah fighter. By 6:30 a.m. Tuesday, he had taken charge as a relief worker. Huh, what do you know? It looks like the positions of Hezbollah fighter and relief worker are interchangeable. Who knew?

Anthony needs to wipe off his chin. He's dribbling Hezzie DNA all over the place.

It looks like the positions of Hezbollah fighter and relief worker are interchangeable. So were the early Zionist settlers, they were farmers, fighters and when needed the relief workers.

These guys are democrats in action. Where as democrats try to talk the economy into the gutter to gain power, these people just go out and do the trashing themselves. And the people come running for that public support afterwards. Happiness in bizarroland.

Armed with Iran's millions...Would this be the same Iran that always pleads for foreign aid whenever an earthquake strikes???

Amazing. Who knew that Hezbollah was full of civil engineers?
One wonders if the Washington Post would cut the same slack to the rebuilding efforts on the US Gulf Coast??? Not!

I was alluding to the now-infamous 'relief worker' in the pictures of dead children at the collapsed building. I guess I was too vague......
To: Tallguy

So were the early Zionist settlers, they were farmers, fighters and when needed the relief workers.Good point. OTOH, the early Zionists didn't undergo a concerted attack by artillery & aircraft -- later backed up by a mechanized assault -- for some 34 days. The damage to roads, bridges & crossroad towns will take many years to repair. It's worse than starting from scratch.

A caller on El-Rushbo today made the excellent point of how the MSM highlights the Hezbos' reconstruction of Lebanon, but what of our military's far more numerous reconstruction projects in Iraq?crickets

Too bad the drive by media doesn't report on all the wonderful rebuilding and assistance the US is doing in Iraq.

muslimes are living mentally in the 9th century There are "muslimes" and "muslimes". The differences between their sects are not smaller than between Baptists and Catholics, sometimes they are larger.
You should never underestimate your opponent. And you should always try to understand him.
"One who knows the enemy and knows himself will not be in danger in a hundred battles.
One who does not know the enemy but knows himself will sometimes win, sometimes lose.
One who does not know the enemy and does not know himself will be in danger in every battle."
(Sun-tzu, The Art of War, chapter III )

Muslim democracy = crack pot idea
The only functioning Muslim countries are the ones with monarchy or dictatorship...

Only the WaPo (or the NYT) would think that creating a welfare dependency 'plantation' could be a good thing.
