Iran and Hezbollah Openly Reveal Their Weakness
The Hizbullah fighters expect and "yearn" for a ground conflict with the Zionist ground forces.
Iran Warns Israel Of 'unimaginable losses' If Syria Hit
Iran warned its arch-enemy Israel of "unimaginable losses" if it attacks Syria and vowed that it was standing by the Syrian people.
"We hope the Zionist regime does not make the mistake of attacking Syria, because extending the front would definitely make the Zionist regime face unimaginable losses," foreign ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi told reporters.
Iran is standing by the Syrian people," he said of the Islamic republic's sole regional ally.
"We have offered and will offer Syria and Lebanon spiritual and humanitarian support," Asefi insisted, reiterating Iran's denial that it is providing military and financial assistance to the Hezbollah movement.
The Israeli army has said Hezbollah militants had used an Iranian-built radar-guided anti-ship missile in an attack on Friday on an Israeli warship off Lebanon's coast.
An Israeli military intelligence official has also alleged that around 100 members of Iran's powerful ideological army the elite Revolutionary Guards were in Lebanon, acting as military advisors to Hezbollah.
Iran is a major backer of Hezbollah, but regularly insists that it only gives "moral support" to the Shiite movement.
"We have no Guards there. It is not true that we have sent missiles. Hezbollah is capable enough. The Zionist regime is under pressure," Asefi said, repeating Iran's denial of any connection to the attack.
He also hit out at the United States after President George W. Bush said Israel had "every right to defend itself".
"The United States has had a destructive role by vetoing resolutions and hence encouraging the Israeli crimes," Asefi said, referring to Washington's use of its veto in the UN Security Council Thursday to block a resolution calling for a halt to an Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip.
"The United States should reconsider its policies and correct its wrong attitude of supporting the Zionist regime."
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad boasted that Israel was not powerful enough to take on Iran and also warned against an attack against Syria.
"Thanks be to God, despite its criminal and savage nature, the Zionist regime and its supporters in the West do not have the power to look in the same way towards Iran," the fiercely anti-Israeli president said.
"If Israel commits another act of idiocy and aggresses Syria, this will be the same as an aggression against the entire Islamic world and it will receive a stinging response," Ahmadinejad said in a telephone conversation with his Syrian counterpart Bashar al-Assad.
The hardline president, who has calling for Israel to be "wiped off the map" or moved as far away as Alaska, has also compared Israel's military strikes on Gaza and Lebanon to tactics used by Nazi Germany's leader Adolf Hitler.
"Their methods resemble Hitler's. When Hitler wanted to launch an attack, he came up with a pretext," Ahmadinejad said Saturday.
"Zionists say they are Hitler's victims, but they have the same nature as Hitler," said Ahmadinejad, who has previously described the Holocaust of six million Jews in wartime Europe as "a myth."
"We have two solutions for the crisis. One of them, which is a logical one, is that as you (Western nations) who imposed this regime by fabricating stories, you put an end to it and take it with you," he said.
And then there is this freak, Hizbullah chief Hassan Nasrallah:
Nasrallah: ‘We Yearn for Ground Conflict’
(IsraelNN.com) Hizbullah chief Hassan Nasrallah spoke on the terrorist organization’s television station, al-Manar on Sunday evening, his first appearance since the beginning of the Re-engagement War last week.
“The Israeli intelligence could not penetrate our organizations,” taunted Nasrallah in remarks aimed at the IDF and Israeli security services. “They say that we have only dozens of missiles, but if you believe this and plan your moves accordingly, you will fail.”
Nasrallah said he looked forward to ground operations, and told the Lebanese public that it was in a historic phase which “has many hopes for saving the entire Islamic nation.”
Addressing his remarks to the IDF leadership, he added, “The Hizbullah fighters expect and yearn for a ground conflict with the Zionist ground forces. In this conflict the Israelis will be defeated.”
Wild Thing's comment.......
Iran...STFU! You need to worry about GWB ripping your diaper off your nasty head!
The terrorist's and I include this twit President of Iran and Hizbullah chief Hassan Nasrallah and all THEIR ground (suicide bombers etc.) are like betting on a replay of a game and then losing.
Iran has already promised to wipe Israel off the map. They have promised to nuke Israel, several times….. the threat has been made not only by Ahmadinejad but also by others, which means that it makes no difference if Israel goes into Syria. Iran is coming for them. (or so they say)
Bully pulpit, attention seeking, goat-loving sandflea, and yes loather of all things human (human being any NON Muslim) Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad just keeps making his threats.
And as for you smelly towel head Hizbullah Chief Hassan Nasrallah, the more grandiose the rhetoric, the more desperate the enemy.
“The Hizbullah fighters expect and yearn for a ground conflict with the Zionist ground forces. ".........................
isn't the word “Yearn” kind of Gay for a guy. And when the ground offensive does come, they will be the first to run to the UN whimpering about how weak they are.

Look at a map of the region. IF we hadn’t invaded Iraq and Saddam was still in power, can you imagine what would have happened. Syria, Iraq, and Iran would be linked up, giving Iran a land route into Israel. With Iraq’s chemical weapons and Iran’s nuclear advances they would have become a very formidable force in which Israel might not have been able to deal with alone; unless they went with nukes. Those three terrorist nations would have literally split the Middle East right through the middle. Saudi Arabia would have no choice but to be friendlier to terrorist nations or risk constant terrorist attacks against their citizens.
Thank God President Bush had the foresight to remove the key piece (Iraq) of the puzzle from the mix. By basically controlling Iraq, it’s logistically impossible for Iran to be a major player in anything happening between Syria and Israel. All they can provide is talk and possibly sneak jihadists into Syria

Imagine having Chicken Little Al Gore for president during this crisis. He'd be off selling trade secrets to fund the Buddist temple and afraid to support Israel for fear that a few bullets would increase global warming. I doubt that an Iranian Nuke would dent his thick skull.
With all his flaws we have the right man in the White House at this time, I'd rather hear Bush being called a "Cowboy" than have my president being called " Oily Al". Remember this quote by Gore: "America's government committed "terrible abuses" against Arabs following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Gore told a Saudi audience at the Jiddah Economic Forum. Arabs had been "indiscriminately rounded up," said Gore, and held in "unforgivable" conditions."
Yep, he'd be helping Israel alright - and us into oblivion!!!

So Iran is threatening, yet again. This time in regards to if Israel strikes Syria. Fine. Kill the Hizzies and then table Syria for now, and give Iran it's due.
Without the avenues to bring in resources to Lebanon, once the area is crushed and secured, Syria will not be a threat. Broker with the Lebanese populace a secured border with Israel's support and help (offer them peace or destruction if you will - one time offer, don't screw up and make them come back).
Then focus on Iran. Syria does not have the capability to lend assistance to Iran if it can't enter Lebanon by ground to wage a war on Israel's northern border.
