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.”

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.

A Clarification on my Position on Immigration
Written By Linda at Right as Usual
In talking to some readers, I realized that they were under the impression that I disliked immigrants.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
My maiden name sounded distinctly “ethnic” and unusual. As a result, most people assumed that I was one of the many displaced people that arrived in the Cleveland area after WWII, including the recently arrived.
I, not being the brightest bulb in the pack, just thought they were interested in fascinating me when they eagerly initiated conversations. I didn’t realize at the time they were hoping to talk to a fellow “newbie”.

So Joao Silva and the New York Times working together to kill our American soldiers. How much more are we supposed to allow this to go on? When is something going to be done. Joao Silva’s pictorial tribute to Iraqi terrorists killing American soldiers to pure treason and nothing less. And so is the New York Times.
How ANYONE can stand by and watch a terrorist aim at one of our soldiers just to get a good photo is unforgivable. I mean this I will cheer and make a special toast when Joao Silva dies.

Wilson (CIA leaker and braggart):
I will sue anyone and everyone for not stopping ME from telling Novak, ‘Who’s who’, the French Embassy, and anyone else who might have been remotely interested about my wife. They should have stopped me. And now I need the money for her Armani dresses.

Novak’s original article and others mentioned that Joe Wilson’s visit actually bolstered the Bush administration’s claim that Iraq was trying to purchase uranium.
Privately, Wilson admitted that Iraq WAS trying to buy uranium. Publicly, he lied.
The Bipartisan Senate Report about this matter so discredited Wilson that Kerry dropped him from his presidential campaign staff.
That report stated that Wilson had to actually bolstered the Bush administration’s case about Iraq trying to buy uranium. Privately, Wilson confirmed what Bush said.
But publicly, Wilson told another story altogether.
Clearly, Wilson is a liar and the entire reason for this made up outrage about Valerie was to take away attention to the fact that Wilson was caught lying about a very important reason why we went to war in Iraq.
Back up to links that Wilson lied about whether Iraq was trying to purchase uranium (they were).
This whole episode was cooked up as an attempt by an anti-Bush elements within the CIA to discredit Bush’s case for war with Iraq. This anti-Bush cabal included Plame. She was the one that recommended her husband for the “mission” to Niger. The intent of the mission was for Wilson to come back and claim no evidence for the yellow cake story. He never had any intention of doing any real investigating at all.The whole trip was bogus from the beginning.
When Wilsons claims were quickly dismissed and the story failed to hold water the anti Bush cabal came up with a plan B as it were. They changed the focus from Wilson to his wife and went all out with the alleged “outing” of an undercover officer who we now know was never deep cover at all.
The lazy anti Bush Washington press corp ate it up with a spoon without ever doing any real digging. The enitre CIA needs to be cleaned out post haste.

Syria Says Supports Hizbollah Against IsraelDAMASCUS (Reuters) –

Syria will support its allies Hizbollah and Lebanon against Israel’s attacks on the country, the ruling Baath Party said on Friday. “The Syrian people are ready to extend full support to the Lebanese people and their heroic resistance to remain steadfast and confront the barbaric Israeli aggression and its crimes,” a communiqu issued by the party’s national command said.

Syria and Iran told to rein in Hizbollah

Syria and Iran came under growing pressure on Friday to restrain the Lebanese Hizbollah and Palestinian Hamas groups as Israel intensified its military offensive against Lebanon.
Israeli warplanes attacked the home and office of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the Hizbollah leader, and struck Beirut airport and the main highway linking the city and Damascus, tightening a blockade over the country.
But Hizbollah was defiant, striking a warship in Lebanese waters and raining rockets on northern Israel. “You wanted an open war and we are ready for open war,” Mr Nasrallah said on the organisation’s TV station.
The US warned Damascus and Tehran that they would be held accountable for their role in the crisis and insisted that Israel had the right to defend itself.
In New York, where the United Nations Security Council held an emergency session, John Bolton, the US ambassador to the UN, accused Syria of providing a safe haven to the militant wing of Hamas and giving material support to Hizbollah.

Syrian Ambassador Imad Mustafa walks out of MSNBC studio to avoid joint TV appearance with Israeli counterpart Danny Ayalon. ‘We used to sit next to each other in the makeup room and chat. Now he runs away from me like from fire,’ Ayalon says.
WASHINGTON – Syrian Ambassador to the United States, Imad Mustafa, walked out of an MSNBC studio in Washington Friday after Israel Ambassador Danny Ayalon suggested the two appear together on a news broadcast. “The man ran away,” producers of the interview program informed, chuckling.
Mustafa may have been concerned that he would lose his position, considering an incident Wednesday when Lebanese Ambassador to Washington, Farid Abboud, was recalled to Lebanon after expressing support for Hizbullah during an interview with CNN, contrary to the Lebanese government’s official position.
Ayalon and his Syrian counterpart have been running from one TV studio to the next in recent days, waging “public relations battles.” The two have appeared in no less than 12 consecutive TV interviews over the past few days. With that, Mustafa has made sure not to sit next to the Israeli diplomat in the studios, nor even in the makeup rooms.

Ayalon said that “In the past, we used to sit next to each other in the makeup room and chat. Mustafa is a professor, a member of the scientific academy in Damascus, an educated and well mannered man, a personal friend and appointment of President Basher Assad. We used to shake hands and talk. This time he is surrounded by people from the Syrian embassy and runs away from me like from fire,” he said.

The Israeli ambassador, who appeared in a live interview on NBC, asked the interviewer why he and the Syrian ambassador were being filmed in two separate studios.

“Ask him if he will sit in the same studio as me,” Ayalon added. The interviewer passed the balled into Mustafa’s court on live TV, and he mumbled embarrassedly that innocent people were being killed in Lebanon.

During the commercial break, the interviewer asked Ayalon if he would appear in the same studio as his Syrian counterpart and he agreed. However, shortly afterwards, the show’s producers informed him that the Syrian ambassador, when he was asked to come into the common studio, responded, “No, no, no,” and hurriedly walked out of the studio.

The two ambassadors were scheduled to appear in their 13th interview on CNN Larry King Live.

WASHINGTON, July 14, 2006 – Anti-insurgent efforts in the Iraqi city of Ramadi are beginning to bear fruit, a senior U.S. military officer said today. “We’re in a transition point in the fight for Ramadi.
There’s still a lot to do, but we’re on the right track,” Army Col. Sean B. MacFarland said from his headquarters in Ramadi during a satellite teleconference with Pentagon reporters.
MacFarland is the commander of the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division. The 1st Brigade assists Iraqi soldiers and police in defeating insurgents within the unit’s area of operations, he said. Ramadi is the capital of Anbar province and is located west of Baghdad. The 1st BCT contains members from all of the U.S. armed services, MacFarland said.

The 1st BCT was initially deployed to the Tal Afar area in western Ninevah province in January, MacFarland said. The unit moved and took up anti-insurgent operations in Anbar on June 11, he said.

MacFarland said his troops work in partnership with Iraqi soldiers and police in the area.

Ramadi was known as a hotbed of insurgent activity. But today, “we’re beginning to take the city back from the insurgents,” MacFarland said. “And, now, it’s important for us to hold what we’ve got and to begin to build where we hold.”

The efforts of Iraqi police and soldiers are the key to ultimately securing Ramadi, MacFarland said. “And, they’re make good progress, and we’re committed to helping them get to where they need to be.”

Ramadi’s residents are historically known for their recalcitrant views in regard to authority, MacFarland said. This situation likely accounts for some of the insurgent activity in the area.

“Al Qaeda used violence — including murder — to cow Ramadi citizens to stay at home and away from their jobs,” MacFarland said.

“Iraqi soldiers and police are taking an increasing role in conducting security operations in Ramadi”, the colonel said. “This is a development that’s paramount to achieve victory against the insurgents, “he said. “Multiple control points established around the city also are helping to disrupt insurgent activities”, MacFarland said.

“We are beginning to reintroduce the Iraqi security forces back into the city and establish the secure conditions for people to come back out of their homes and begin productive employment,” he said. “The tide is beginning to shift.”

I am so proud of our troops! God bless them all and keep them safe!

Israel’s longtime enemy, and its enemy today, is of the very same terror that was launched on us on Sept.11,2001…. but, if less confounding, more routine and more tolerated. It is the world’s acceptance of the routineization of this killing of Jews that has so affronted Israel, its allies, and others like myself .It is time to show that Jewish blood is NOT cheap and those who shed it will pay a tremendous price !

Iran President: Attack on Syria Is an Attack on Islam
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s president warned Israel against extending its offensive in Lebanon to neighboring Syria, saying such a move would be regarded as an attack on the whole Islamic world and be met with a “crushing response,” the official Iranian news agency said Friday.
Israel has intensified its attacks on Lebanon to put pressure on the government and force Hezbollah to free the two Israeli soldiers it captured Wednesday. Syria and Iran are the top backers of the Shiite Hezbollah guerrilla group in Lebanon.
“If the occupying regime of Jerusalem attacks Syria, it will be equivalent to an attack on the whole Islamic world and the regime (Israel) will face a crushing response” Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying by IRNA.
Ahmadinejad made the comments in a telephone conversation with Syrian President Bashar Assad to assure him of his support, the agency said.
The Iranian leader called on Muslim countries to create a united front against Israel.
“The Islamic world, especially countries in this region, need more unity and integrity, particularly in the context of Lebanon and Palestine,” Ahmadinejad said.
Separately, the spokesman for Iran’s Foreign Ministry, Hamid Reza Asefi, denied Israeli allegations that the captured Israeli soldiers were being transferred to Iran.
On Thursday, Israel said it had information that Hezbollah guerrillas were trying to transfer the soldiers to Iran, apparently to prevent Israeli troops from rescuing them.
“These sort of accusations are simply nonsense,” Asefi said, according to IRNA.

Israeli UN Ambassador’s Letter to UN Secy.-Gen. Annan
Excellency,
It is with a great sense of urgency and grave concern that I write to you this letter of strong protest about the grave events occurring today on Israel’s northern border with Lebanon. This morning, Hizbullah terrorists unleashed a barrage of heavy artillery and rockets into Israel, causing a number of deaths. In the midst of this horrific and unprovoked act, the terrorists infiltrated Israel and kidnapped two Israeli soldiers, taking them into Lebanon.
Responsibility for this belligerent act of war lies with the government of Lebanon, from whose territory these acts have been launched into Israel. Responsibility also lies with the governments of Iran and Syria, who support and embrace those who carried out this attack.
These acts pose a grave threat not just to Israel’s northern border, but also to the region and the entire world. The ineptitude and inaction of the government of Lebanon has led to a situation in which it has not exercised jurisdiction over its own territory for many years. The Security Council has addressed this situation time and time again in its debates and resolutions. Let me remind you also that Israel has repeatedly warned the international community about this dangerous and potentially volatile situation. In this vacuum festers the Axis of Terror: Hizbullah and the terrorist states of Iran and Syria, which have today opened another chapter in their war of terror.
Today’s act is a clear Declaration of War, and is in blatant violation of the “Blue Line,” United Nations Security Council resolutions 425, 1559, 1680, and all other relevant resolutions of the United Nations since Israel withdrew from southern Lebanon in May 2000.
Israel thus reserves the right to act in accordance with United Nations Charter Article 51, and exercise its right of self-defence when an armed attack is launched against a member of the United Nations. The State of Israel will take the appropriate actions to secure the release of the kidnapped soldiers and bring an end to the shelling that terrorizes our citizens. I would be grateful if you would arrange to have the text of this letter circulated as an official document of the sixtieth session of the General Assembly, under agenda items 108, “Measures to Eliminate International Terrorism,” and 14, “The Situation in the Middle East.” An identical letter has been submitted to H.E. Mr. Jean-Marc de La Sablière, President of the Security Council.
Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.
Yours truly, Ambassador Dan Gillerman Permanent Representative of Israel
Permanent Mission of Israel to the United Nations 800 Second Avenue New York, NY 10017 Ph: (212) 499-5510
