Middle East News Roundup
Posted on July 28, 2006
I am going to be short on the analysis today. I feel like I’m repeating myself. So here is the short version. I am more of a hawk in my position to solve this problem. I think we need to go full force and wipe out the evil and terror as quickly as we can. I think appeasement is futile and pointless and only postpones and increases the current danger. Now, here is a short roundup of the war over in the middle east.
Drudge has a headline up from the Washington Times
Intelligence reports indicate the leader of Hezbollah is hiding in a foreign mission in Beirut, possibly the Iranian Embassy, according to U.S. and Israeli officials.
Israeli military and intelligence forces are continuing to hunt for Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah’s secretary-general, who fled his headquarters in Beirut shortly before Israeli jets bombed the building last week.
“We think he is in an embassy,” said one U.S. official with access to the intelligence reports, while Israeli intelligence speculates Sheik Nasrallah is hiding in the Iranian Embassy.
If confirmed, the reports could lead to an Israeli air strike on the embassy, possibly leading to a widening of the conflict, said officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Foreign embassies are sovereign territory and an attack on an embassy could be considered an act of war.
Drudge put the siren up for a report that states Hezbollah Says It Has Fired a New Rocket
The NY Times is reporting that Tide of Arab Opinion Turns to Support for Hezbollah
Sister Toldjah isn’t suprised.
Macsmind takes on the idiotic Hirsh article at Newsweek.

Seems to me there is only one Logical thing to do, make the Embassy dissapear…..
I suspicion Iran’s man on the ground in Iraq, Al Sadyr, has also stepped up his attempts to stir up a civil war. It seems strange when one faction in Iraq backed by Iran is battling another faction in Iraq backed by Syria while both their backers are supporting Hezbollah in Lebanon. It is certainly keeping the West’s attention away from Iran who is plodding toward perfecting nuclear technology.
