And The Beat Goes On …

This cat, Hachoo Nostrilla, is a real piece of work. He is cunning and good with words. He is a gifted speaker and knows how to turn a phrase, always knowing what to say to keep the faithful following him. In other words, Bill Clinton of the Middle East. He is now a media TV star in the Arab world, surpassing even President Ahmawhackjob of Iran.

That’s the problem over there. Every asshat with at least two followers believes himself to be the next “Mahdi” who will wipe out the infidels and restore the caliphate. The sheeple in the “Arab street’ just love it. It’s all grand theatre to them - until they get bombed. Then they rapidly become “victims of Zionist agression”.

Another day, another hundred dead. Hezbollah is withering under the Israeli assault. I can tell because they have raised the boasting index to Level Seven on the Skipper-Bullshit Scale. This latest threat, if carried out, will infuriate Israel and then the hammer will fall. None too soon ...

Nasrallah: We’ll Bomb Tel Aviv If Beirut Attacked
(Y-NET NEWS) - Aug. 3, 2006

In TV address, Hizbullah leader says terror group will respond to next Israeli strike in Beirut with rockets on Tel Aviv. Israel responds: Lebanese infrastructure will be destroyed if Tel Aviv is hit.

Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah threatened to bomb Tel Aviv during a TV address Thursday night, should Israel attack in Beirut. “If you indeed do this, I say this clearly. I won’t use terms I used up to now, past Haifa, but I will say clearly and in a way that is not open to interpretation: If you bomb our capital we’ll bomb your capital. We’ll bomb Tel Aviv and we can do this.”

A senior Israeli defense source told Israel’s Channel 1 that Israel will destroy Lebanon’s infrastructure if Hizbullah fires rockets at Tel Aviv. During the speech, which was aired on al-Manar TV, Nasrallah discussed the ‘importance’ of ground battles by Hizbullah members against IDF units: “We are fighting against very heavy pressure and are fighting battles of heroism across the whole front.” He added that his organization had many anti-tank weapons.

Nasrallah branded Prime Minister Ehud Olmert a “fool” for “declaring a victory too early.” “He wants to look like (Ariel) Sharon, (Yitzhak) Rabin, and (Menachem) Begin. Ask him where the accomplishments are that he promised you,” Nasrallah said. He added that he was following Israeli analysts.

Nasrallah mocked the commando raid in Baalbek: “There were two landings near Baalbek and not in the heart of Baalbek. They stormed a hospital and threw a grenade. Pay attention to the great gain, to search for injured fighters who they didn’t capture during the battle. They weren’t there, they kidnapped five civilians and they are hostages. This is intelligence, this is the Mossad?”

Nasrallah added, “We all remember the heroic battles. There are tens of thousands of Israeli soldiers in the field and many tanks with them. They are facing soldiers standing with bravery and stopping the advance. The battle is still going on in front positions and it surprised the Zionists. The Israelis come to enter a village, so that Hizbullah fighters will run away, but up to now – the fighters remained to battle in the villages until the last bullet. Israel was surprised by the human factor. They are fighting against men willing to sacrifice.”

This was Nasrallah’s eighth television appearance since the kidnapping of soldiers on the northern border.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
