How was he defeated. he is still standing. His party is stronger then ever. He has never lied before, why should he when he is in a stronger position.

Nasrralla's note of body parts is a message to both israeli & lebanese gov showing that the lebanese gov is nothing but a a paper gov when it comes to this matter,in fact israel will negociate with the one who detain those part and not through a proxy, and that is the first achievement on the inside matter, against a western back gov that claim legitimacy. Second that he is still in charge contrary to all misleading infos of him being being removed. Third, being criticised by bin laden in his last voice recorded tape discredit all infos about hezbollah being linked to all qaeda whatsoever, and doesn't necessarily means that he is trying to justify himself. Fourth the remains of the IDF soldiers were shown on al-manar TV last summer, curiously israeli behaved as if nothing happened, so maybe this is a tactical reminder from his part. When it comes to pychological effect, the disoriented responses of israeli officials is a start.

Ahmed, thank you for that enlightening post. Personally, I think that the corpses Israel holds should be wrapped in pig skin and burned unceremoniously. Israeli POW's, KIA's, etc. are either tortured, disfigured, or defaced...I propose that the crypto-fascist fighters of Hezbullah should receive this strong deterrent.

How is he still standing ? He's hiding like a rat in hole & comes out once in a while for air ! He is nothing but Iran's puppet !

he lost 800 men , his control of the border area . a good portion of southern lebanon is a car park . beirut's suthern suburbs in ruins . 15$ billion in damages . inability to topple a legitimate government . this guy is failure itself

He said we have the soliders remain, he didn't say we dishonored them.

anybody can see who is desperate. an Israeli internal audit report which will be published soon, will reveal the mismanagement of Olmert and Israeli government in the war with hezbollah, and the desperate activities of Israeli's in the last weeks in attacking Gazza are supposed to turn the attention away from that. now who is desperate? Nasrullah has allways kept his promise, and he will do the same this time, but what about Olmert?

boasting about it

between swapping the bodies of fallen fighters as part of a formal exchange process, and Nasrallah gloating about having Israeli body parts in his possession in a public tirade of barbarity to boost his own pathetic image. Nasrallah and his terror organization talk and behave as if they are no more civilized than a tribe of cannibals with bones throught their noses and plates through their lips.

Oh is that really so? Hmm? He first denied that Hizbullah invaded Israeli territory to kidnap their troops. Later he admitted the operation was pre-planned and said if he had known of the Israeli response, he would never have embarked on such an adventure. Sounds like a real "divine victory". But please, let the bravado keep coming. If he wants more wars with "corrupt and lazy Israel", let's just see how long it takes him to use up his 9 lives.

Israeli govt trades for dead Israelis, for parts of dead Israelis, hence the offer. Blame your politicians for this anomaly. Now those terrorists don't have to trade hostages for their fellow murderers, they trade dead Israelis, peace by peace. After Olmert released thousands of terrorists did any of the Israeli soldiers were released? Of cause not. Did israeli government do anything about it? Of cause not. Unless Israel removes its current government by any means possible, Israel is doomed and your enemies know it. You allow them to play those sick mind games with you and your press colludes with the enemy.

Ali, He has never lied before when? Are you tring to say that now he is liar? You must be the gullible kind. When are you going to commit martydom for him or whatever reason you choose? He was fired as military leader by Iran's Ayatollah. Don't you read the news?
