| Nasrallah Says Hizbullah Prevented ISIL from Reaching Beirut |
| 2014-06-18 |
| [An Nahar] Hizbullah ... Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistanceand purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... leader His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb... has said that jihadists of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant ... the current version of al-Qaeda in Iraq, just as blood-thirsty and well-beloved as the original... (ISIL) would have reached Beirut had his party not sent its fighters to Syria. "Had we not interfered in Syria at the appropriate moment, ISIL would have been in Beirut now," he told the leaders of al-Mahdi Scouts Association during a meeting on Sunday. The Hizbullah secretary-general wondered why the party's critics have not condemned ISIL's advance on the Iraqi capital. In the latest fighting, the snuffies took control of several neighborhoods of Tal Afar, a mainly Shiite Turkmen town between the rebel-held second city of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... and the Syrian border, officials and residents said. The Iraqi government has insisted it is making progress in retaking territory from the murderous Moslems, who currently hold most or parts of four provinces north of Storied Baghdad. The security forces will be joined by a flood of volunteers after a call to arms from top Shiite holy man Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani. Nasrallah lauded al-Sistani's call, saying it "aims at protecting Iraq and not just a single sect." The Hizbullah chief hinted that some regional and Gulf countries were involved in the fighting in Iraq. "Who is benefiting from what's going on there?" he asked. He also raised doubt about Washington's stance as it weighs possible drone strikes against the murderous Moslems. Nasrallah expressed relief over the improvement of the security situation in Leb. But warned that "this does not mean things have gone back to normal." |

| #3 probably the al Nusra vs ISIS infighting had a lot to do with the weakness of the anti Assad forces the past 6 months or so also, it seems obvious that ISIS withdrew some of their forces to Iraq for the recent push through Mosul and beyond |
