Hizbullah insists its 'weapons are not negotiable'
2005-09-10
A high-ranking Hizbullah official clearly stated the Lebanese resistance group's position on all United Nations Security Council resolutions pertaining to Hizbullah, saying "reshuffling the Lebanese Army now would undermine current strategies that have kept Lebanon safe" and "Hizbullah's weapons are not negotiable."

"Why change anything now?" said Sayyed Hisham Saffieddine, head of Hizbullah's Executive Council, in reference to Security Council Resolution 1614 calling for the deployment of the Lebanese Army in the South. "What has kept Lebanon safe from its enemies are the current strategies agreed upon between the resistance and the army, so any attempts to change the strategies are attempts to destabilize Lebanon and create division in country trying to remain united," Saffieddine said. Indirectly referring to UN Security Council Resolution 1559, which calls for the disarmament of Hizbullah, Saffieddine said that Hizbullah's arms "will never be used as bargain chips on the political scene."

Right, cuz you know, the intifada in Israel paid off for the terrorists. Today Gaza, tomorrow Haifa, the day after, Jerusalem. Jews are pushed off each subsequent edge until there are no edges and no Jews left.

Unfortunately, that view is how the dust is settling in the heads of Islamist criminals.

This Hizbollah/Lebanon issue is one consequence of the schizophrenic terrorism policy that our "partners" in the international community have been hawking. It seems that the "let the fox in the chicken house" approach is winning the day after all. Perhaps it will grow exponentially--a ballooning bastard child of an international political game that shelters an increasing number of terrorists within political parties, armies, governments. Won't that be fun to deal with?
