| [An Nahar] Hizbullah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said on Friday before a number of the party's cadres at their graduation ceremony that Hizbullah and its allies have scenarios to implement after the Special Tribunal for Leb's anticipated indictment that vary between "staying idle, and causing a major political change in power," Al-Akhbar newspaper reported Tuesday. Nasrallah asked the graduates to "return to mosques and feel the pain of the poor people in their communities, and to stay away from manifestations of luxury." Al-Akhbar also reported that Nasrallah voiced his support for "an internal project in the party related to changing the organizational structure in a drastic way", but noted that "it appears that this project is not executable." After two hours of religious-moral talk, Nasrallah started discussing the current political situation. "Ever since Hizbullah took its decision to engage in a battle against the Special Tribunal for Leb, it was able to defuse the indictment that is expected to be issued." Al-Akhbar quoted Nasrallah as saying. The idea that this indictment is a "political decision" has been instilled in the minds of the public opinion, Hizbullah number one reportedly added. Nasrallah stressed the importance of the Syrian-Saudi effort aimed at achieving a "fair settlement" in the country, pointing out that "what speeds up reaching results is the fact that the Saudi leadership is convinced that the situations are dangerous and that the indictment could ruin the country." Nasrallah described the relationship between Hizbullah and AMAL Movement as "strategic," noting that the party's opponents and enemies had been wagering that Hizbullah's allies — Free Patriotic Movement Despite its name a Christian party allied with Hizbullah, neither free nor particularly patriotic... leader MP Michel Aoun, ...a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah... Speaker Nabih KnobbyBerri, the Hizbullah sock puppet and its allies in the Sunni sect — would distance themselves from the party. Nasrallah ruled out the possibility of an Israeli aggression against Leb anytime soon "because the Israelis have not yet finished their preparations to confront the Resistance That'd be the Hezbullies, natch... , especially on their internal front." He also noted that the Israelis are convinced that "any future war will require the evacuation of a large number of settlers." Describing the political evolution of Hizbullah, Nasrallah said that the party has a large impact on the whole region, where "our word is heard in Iran, and in Syria President (Bashar) Assad consults us regarding many issues." "We also have friends with whom we have been playing important roles in Iraq and Paleostine," Al-Akhbar quoted Nasrallah as saying. |
