| Hezbollah is a Lebanese reality, and it doesnât receive instructions from any country, Iranian President Mohammad Khatami said during his press conference at the Phoenicia Inter-Continental Hotel Wednesday. âHizbullah is not receiving instructions from any country and it does not depend on any foreign force,â Khatami said, adding that Iran also enjoys good relations with Syria and Lebanon, but âthat doesnât mean the three countries interfere in each otherâs internal affairs.â âWhat we have is solidarity, and unity on some principles and points,â he said. âHizbullah is a reality in Lebanon, and is part of its forces of defense. I am sure the people of Lebanon support this defense, and of course we are not going to interfere in the internal affairs of any country,â he said again. The Iranian president spoke extensively on the achievements of Hizbullah, which he said was capable of forcing Israel to withdraw from occupied land. He also said he believes the resistance will continue because âwhenever there is an occupation, there also is a natural right to fight against it and to develop a national resistance. Fortunately, Lebanon has been successful in driving the enemy out of its territory,â he said. âThere are still parts under the occupation of the Zionist regime, and as long as the occupation is there, the resistance will continue,â he added. Answering a question on the âgood timing for disarming Hizbullah from its Iranian weapons,â Khatami evasively said Hizbullah is strong and doesnât need arms. |

| #2 Hell, they already believe that we spy on their women with our night vision goggles. I've never understood why our psyops guys aren't using religion to drive a wedge between the Iranians and Syrians. The Syrians are kufr Alawites after all. With my limited understanding of Islamic law, I was under the impresssion that an apostate Muslim was worse off than a Christian or Jew. The former is subject to death while the latter only has to pay the jizya. Find your enemy's weak spot, exploit it, isolate his strong points, and defeat him in detail by reducing them one by one, that's what I always say. |

| #1 A "Lebonese reality"? LOL, these mullah-f'ers wouldn't know reality if it fell on them with a JDAM guidance system! Heh, the next thing you know they'll believe we can see through their clothes with x-ray sunglasses. |
