Nasrallah: Americans first victims of US brutal policies
2009-12-27
Hezbollah Secretary-General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah has described American leaders as anti-human and brutal, saying US citizens are the first victims of such leaders.

"US authorities are anti-human," the 49-year-old Nasrallah said, adding the country is governed by the most brutal and greedy individuals.

The Hezbollah chief made the remark during a televised speech marking the eighth day of Muharram on Friday night.

In a reference to the US invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks Nasrallah said that "The American democracy has victimized the Iraqi and Afghan people."

Years after the US-led invasion of the two Muslim countries, daily violence is calming the lives of people in the two war-ravaged states.

The Hezbollah Secretary General also urged his country's politicians to "observe a one-year truce" in an attempt to avoid new conflicts.

Nasrallah also called for giving the unity government an opportunity to function.

"Let those who don't want to tackle the people's priorities resign from the cabinet," he noted.

He's making strong statements, and yet he is not acting as if he really believed in their truth.

If he did he would be staying quiet and desperately be trying not to draw attention to himself and his little country.

He would reasonably fear that even a provocative statement on his part could bring "victimization" to himself and his part of the world, courtesy of the "inhuman US".

#3  Angleton9,

My understanding is that Nasrallah has only appeared in public a handful of times the 2006 conflict. The Hezbollah system of security around him is layered. He is rumored to spend most of his time in various bunkers and to move from bunker to bunker fairly often. Not an easy get.

#2  Most people who work for the US govt. are not Moslems and they are usually just plain anti-human Evil.

Pooh. Most people who work for the U.S. government work hard and mean well, just like anywhere else. The question is what they are assigned to do and the tools they are given to do it. The answer is to reduce the scope of their responsibilities and the number of people doing whatever it is, to the point of wiping out entire departments and setting those people free to make their way in the private sector. Contrariwise, anyone working for government health insurance will sooner or later do something that causes pain, suffering, and death -- it's the nature of the situation, not of the people involved.

#1  Most people who work for the US govt. are not Moslems and they are usually just plain anti-human Evil. Everybody knows that.

How hard can it be just to ding this guy, Nasrallah? You could always just contract the work. Cant be a shortage of takers out there...what ever happened to the Jackal? That part of the world must be absolutely floating in folks who can be hired for a job in that basic line.

Get somebody for Nasrallah. Hire someone competent. Tell him to make it messy ( deep fried in Krisco ). I mean, they got Mugadniyeh ( did I spell that right?)
Blew him to wet confetti in a parking lot. Yeah.
Nasrallah has to cross the street somewhere every day. Yay, brutal and greedy, its for a good cause.
Put one on the payroll.
