1. A lot of crooks...
Gene G ,   Raleigh, USA   (08.10.10)
are doing life on 'circumstancial' evidence. I believe him.
2. Lebanon
Hal ,   Usa   (08.10.10)
I'm not surprised that there is alot of skepticism about what this fat-assed jerk has to say. Most in Lebanon are probably rolling their eyes while Fatboy tries to blame away his culpability for Hariri's death. Who else stood to gain from Hariri's death? Only Fatboy and the chinless wonder dentist gained from the hit.
3. Weak evidence
M Carr ,   Baltimore   (08.10.10)
It appears that Hezbollah and the Turks have achieved their goals to regress their civilizations a few centuries behind the rest of the world. They both need to relearn the rules of evidence the next time they interact in a current legal forum. Nasrallah and Erdogan will end up with egg on both their faces by the time the Hariri and flotilla probes are complete.
4. It was Snowball!
mb   (08.10.10)
Is anyone else reminded of George Orwell's Animal Farm here? Napoleon blames all the farms shortcomings on the exiled pig Snowball. The difference in the book is that all the animals believed him.
5. What's never talked about, the money
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (08.10.10)
Remember, Israel recently discovered vast gas reserves of the coast of Israel. Now part of that discovery may lie in Lebanese waters. Hezbollah wants the money to fund their terrorism. If Nasrallah is guilty...and he is...of murdering Hariri, Hezbollah would be cut out of the deal. Now, Hezbollah has already made claim to any Gas money found in southern Lebanon. So I wonder how much of this is just political gamesmanship at getting the money from the GAS RESERVES. Remember the public was so outraged at the assassination of Hariri...and blaming Syria at the time...that Syria was forced out of Lebanon by the huge public outrage. This could happen to Hezbollah as well. A strong motive for Nasrallah to blame Israel, wouldn't you say?

Good 4 u. Bad 4 Lebanon. Peace.
7. Gene - #1
Jonny ,   SA   (08.10.10)
Criminal law requires the evidence,circumstantial or otherwise, to prove guilt beyond all reasonable doubt.If that's what you think Nasrallah produced, I really think you should be exempted from jury duty.
8. VIsit Ya Libnan to see Lebanese perspective
William ,   Israel   (08.10.10)
They are all over this in this news media. All articles are anti-Iran, anti-Hizbullah, and speak about the same causes for concern emanating out of Tehran and Damascus that Israelis are saying. Whether Shais in S. Lebanon or Israel haters on this site want to admit or not, the Lebanese fear Nasrallah and the future of their country.
9. SMOKE SCREENS AND MIRRORS AND DEFLECTIONS FROM HIS GUILT
dav zee ,   Atlanta, USA   (08.10.10)
NASTYRALLAH KNOWS HE IS THE MAIN TARGET OF THE HARIRI PROBE AS WELL AS HIS HENCHMAN...THEIR FINGERPRINTS ARE EVERYWHERE AND THE UN HAS HIM DEAD TO RIGHTS... GOODBYE NASTYRALLAH
10. How come nobody blaes the Irish Anymore?
Rob ,   Toronto, Canada   (08.10.10)
11. Syria, Hizbollah and Israel all had a part in Hariri's death
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (08.10.10)
Either directly or by inaction they all played a part in Hariri's death, even Iran had a part but not directly. The video does show that Israel likely knew of possible assassination before it happened but other evidence shows Hizbollah also likely knew or had a hand in it, with Syria having most to gain or lose by it.
12. The evidence against Hezbollah is less than circumstantial..
Marco ,   Spain   (08.10.10)
Enough double standards....
13. to Bloodyscot
JK ,   Lebanon   (08.10.10)
finally someone with some reason and logic and a bit farsighted on this site. you are absolutely right my friend in your analysis they all had a little hand in assassinating our PM since they all had mutual benefit from doing so whether to distort peace, or create havoc, or kill their natural born enemy. good analysis.
14. Anyone Syria or the Hezbutts don't like dies or is a "spy"
Scott ,   USA   (08.10.10)
And somehow, it's always Israel's fault.

Thank you. I think sometimes we forget amidst our vitriol for Hizbullah,Iran ,Hamas, that the citizens of Lebanon are being held captive by these monsters. May G-D protect them from harm.
16. #13, you've sad mentality......
ME ,   USA   (08.10.10)
There is NO "natural born enemys"....that's just something washed into your brain.

Simcha ,   So.Cal.USA   (08.10.10)
Thank you. I think sometimes amidst our vitriol for Hizbullah, Hamas. Iran and Syria,etc. we forget that the citizens of Lebanon are being held captive by these evil sources.I pray G-d protects them in days to come.
18. Nasrallah:a vicious simpleton unable of decent looking lies
Joe ,   Canada   (08.11.10)
19. #12 Marco Pollo
Hal ,   Usa   (08.11.10)
You, Marco are a prime example of a double standard. You, a Spaniard, living in a country that bathed the world in it's own blood for gold and empire are throwing mud at anyone? That is a double standard from a nonentity that has no standards. Putz!
20. #13 Not everyone with a benefit is necessarily involved
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (08.11.10)
and not all of them necessarily cooperate. I just love conspiracy novels and you just took the bait my friend. BLOODYTHIRSTY SCOT GREATEST TEX-MEX BURRITO AND MIDDLE EAST EXPERT DALLAS, TEXAS
21. ...I forgot to mention that my Burrito Art was also involved
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (08.11.10)
in Hariri's death. After I rolled it to fill it with delicious Tofu (I am a vegetarian Cowboy) it refused to be filled and dropped on the floor and from there off to New Orleans where it jumped on a Zionist Zim ship, and right before anchoring in Acre it jumped again into the water and swam to Tyre where it had a high level meeting with Nasrallah the Puffed Baby and Assad the Beast in which they filled my Burrito with rat poison. Then it was taken to a Beirut Tex-Mex restaurant where Hariri was dining and served to him to a tragic ending. There you have it, The Syrian, Hezbollah, Israeli and Texan conspiracy to murder Hariri. It is alI true, I only report the way I see it with 100/100 vision from 8000 miles away from Middle East. BLOODYTHIRSTY SCOT GREATEST TEX-MEX BURRITO AND MIDDLE EAST EXPERT DALLAS, TEXAS
22. I omitted saying evidence against Israel is manufactured
Marco ,   Spain   (08.11.10)
in Iran. This I can tell by the poor quality of the photoshopping.
23. Wait until Nassralah & Co organize some car bombing parties
Genuine Moshe   (08.11.10)
in Beiruth and we will see this Lebanese choir buying Nassralah's "evidence".
24. no 8
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (08.11.10)
If that,s the case then William ,there,s really only one course of action to take ;string the despised Shiite warlord from the public square gallows in Beirut,just like the Islamofascist Taliban did with the Russian warlord Najibullah in Kabul ,after the Russians left with their tails between their legs .
25. no 10
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (08.11.10)
Because they,re almost bankrupt ,finan cially and morally ,next question ?
26. no 11
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (08.11.10)
But who planted the car bomb that flattened the Beirut hotel and Hariri him self ,inspector Clousseau?
27. NASRALLAH
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (08.11.10)
Nasrallah,s days ,like his Shiite masters in Iran are numbered ,it,s only a matter of time before the Alawite coward in Damascus turns the table on his former stooge and bows to his new masters ,the Wahabi/Salafi of Saudi Arabia ,inshallah.
28. Who Killed Hariri
Alexander ,   Soljenitsyne   (08.17.10)
I don't know where you're getting your info from; but certainly from a seriously uninformed source. This fatassed jerk has convinced over 63% of the lebanese people. I'm sure that if a similar poll were done in Israel, an equal number will agree that Israel is not so innocent. In fact, the Mossad has been involved in so many political assasinations. Do we need to open the dark Mossad file? Yes, I am strongly convinced of Israel involvement in the Hariri's Assasination. And why not? Hariri was well known for his anti-sinonism stands. To the knowledge of all, Hariri was not a Buddy to Israel; so, if his death would advance any Israeli purpose, more specifically, put Hizbullah in the accused box and initiate a civil war in Lebanon, then why not. Divide and Rule...
