Remember that much-touted interview by Chipmunk Cheeks Nasrallah (may a Hellfire missile find him before his next birthday), where he said there would be no second round against Israel?
Turns out he lied.
Hizbullah representative in Iran Muhammad Abdullah Sif al-Din, said Wednesday that Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah has a new strategic plan to rearm ahead of the “next round against Israel .”
In an interview with the Iranian news agency Fars, al-Din said: “No one can promise us that Israel won’t attack again. Whoever lives as a neighbor to the Zionist regime is in danger and must not save any effort to obtain all of the means to defend himself. We are convinced that there still danger and the situation has not yet been solved. We must, all the time, prepare ourselves for self-defense and to plan for the next stage.”
I know, I’m shocked, too.
No, not really.
Let us review, kiddies. Who funds and arms Hezbullah? Iran (with the aid of Syria). Who calls the shots in Hezbullah? Iran. Who pulls Hezbullah’s strings? Iran. Who is this guy? Iran’s Hezbullah representative.
Do you need help drawing the conclusions here, or can you say, “Good cop/Bad cop”?
I knew you could. But I’m getting dizzy, too. It’s like watching a ping-pong match from a foot away. Someone else watch for a while, I need a break.
One thing I’m curious about is where Hizbollah got all those new $100 bills they were handing out so freely in Lebanon? I know Iran funds them and Iran is swimming in oil money, but that usually comes in the form of electronic transfers, not cash. Drug money? But even that gets laundered through electronic means nowadays. I suspect it’s counterfeit. Remember how, when Israel broke into Arafat’s compound in Ramallah back in 2002, the IDF found plates for counterfeiting Israel and US money. I suspect Hizbollah is doing it too.
