| Nabih Berri TV rehires evil anchor Sawsan Darwish |
| 2007-07-18 |
| Who is better to report another attack on UNIFIL than the news anchor who thinks more March 14 deputies should be killed? Sawsan-What-Took-Them-So-Long-Darwich was "unfired" yesterday along with the sound technician who starred in NBN's world-famous on-air accident. March 14 MP and deputy house speaker Farid Makari said the decision did not surprise him, given that NBN "owner" Nabih Berri hadn't even bothered to pay his condolences to the family of slain Walid Eido, the deputy who was killed by Berri's master, prompting vile Sawsan to laugh and wish more deaths upon the parliament's majority to get it over with. "This is an opportunity for those who elected Berri to realize they were delusional," said Makari, adding that he didn't expect Berri to re-open the doors of parliament any time soon. Meanwhile, this blogger did not have the stomach to even read about that St. Cloud gathering. The politicians are hush-hush anyway, and it's good to know the French are not giving up and will send emissaries to continue what was started with the Iranians. So what if Bashar is unstoppable and is sending messages on Hizbullah's turf? Speaking of which, don't you find it intriguing how quickly Hizbullah was able to intercept a BBC crew interviewing Shia villagers, yet they missed a road side bomb that required daily monitoring of UNIFIL movements? In the aftermath of all the destruction, the strength of the "resistance", as Hezbollah is known, seems to have changed little. The group's weapons are not on view in the south, but then they never really were before the war. In Aita Shaab, within sight of where on 12 July 2006 a Hezbollah raid captured the two Israeli soldiers and killed another six, Ahmed Srour is rebuilding his home, with the help of four Syrian labourers. "We need Hezbollah to protect us," he says. "Without Hezbollah and Qatar [which has pledged to fund reconstruction] there would be no-one left in this village." A yellow Mercedes pulls up during the interview, and a fit-looking 40-year-old in a black T-shirt gets out and asks to check my papers. "That's them now," says Ahmed when they drive off. That's them alright. |
