"Complete strength and power?"


Maybe someone told Sheik Nasrallah this was a picture of Haifa.
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah made his first appearance since the start of clashes with Israel, saying Sunday that his group had “complete strength and power” and would act without limits in future attacks.
Unfortunately for the people of Beirut... it's not.
Even by the oft-delusional, always hyperbolic standards of Arab political rhetoric, this particular conflict can only be classified as the "Dirty, Inbred Little Sister of All Battles."

The larger question of course, is... will Iran overtly put an oar in the water, or just content itself with surreptitiously throwing stones (see previous post, "Yeah, it's gonna be a party...") from the riverbank?
