1. Give me a break..
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (08.10.11)
Nasrallah - tarnished image? Not tarnished but positively filthy, rotten, foul, retching.. Hes a guy who goes around thinking the whole of Lebanon wants to kiss his feet - when actually mosty of Lebanon revile him as a pure and simple traitor
2. Hezbollah's image
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (08.10.11)
President Assad and Hezbollah will come out the clear winners in this situation. Then, whatever "image" Hezbollah may have had will fade into history, which always honors the winner and "zeroes out" the loser.
3. How do you tarnish a turd?

not enough assassinations, maiming, bombing and all possible evil they are capable of? The capon is freightened, no Assad, no Acnebad and no help from Al-Lat.
5. DOUBLE STANDARD DELUXE
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (08.10.11)
When you think about it, it makes total sense. Hezbo backed the protesters when the government was perceived as pro-Western. But when the government was anti-Western (i.e. Iran, Syria) they backed the government. Proving beyond a shadow of doubt, a double standard exists. Hezbo doesn't give a hoot about the people (i.e. using human shields as an illegal battle tactic), they only care about their politics. Hezbo cares more about killing and destroying their enemies than the lives of their people, this is proof positive. The same is true of the world, we see a glaring double standard with how the world and the UN react when it's Arab vs Arab/Muslim vs Muslim, or if it's Israel vs Arabs (i.e. Pals in Gaza, Hezbo in Lebanon). I was watching the news this morning and literally, just watched story about the famine in Somalia. Over the last 3 months it stated that 10's of thousands have died of famine (according to a UN report). Even the newscaster seemed stunned when he said "the last 3 months". But who is blocking the food from getting into the country and to the people, it's the Muslims of course. But how many have heard much about this? Just another double standard.
6. Lebanon's bearded lady is pissed?
Bad assed Jew. ,   United States   (08.10.11)
That's rich after Hezb'allah's war on Israel failed and the bearded lady was a hero to those who don't know the difference between shit and shinola. ( the Lebanese, and others) Now, it's getting closer to home and the Lebanese are sick of the fag in drag who owns Lebanon for free. Time to clean house Lebanon, this fag murdered the real hero of Lebanon, are you going to let this animal remain in charge or, throw his/her sick ass out once and for all? Or, better question, can you throw him out? I don't think so. He/she owns your miserable asses. How do you like her , old nasty, now??
7. # 3 Observer thanx, you made me laugh best line of the day.
Bad assed Jew.   (08.10.11)
I never saw a polished turd but, I have seen Alaska tourists actually buying moose turds as souvenirs. Some folks will buy anything , like say, the Lebanese and all arabs. One reason they have nothing but oil, that the rich enjoy the spoils, while their sub poverty subjects are dying from lack of democracy, abject poverty, hunger, state run brutality in the streets. A real indictment on islam and it's system of planned poverty and ignorance.
8. graczek @ 2 is right and Israel must take the same approach.
leo ,   usa   (08.10.11)
9. The beginning of the end for Hizb' Gabbii
Robert ,   NY USA   (08.10.11)
It will effect Iran too. And Fatah and Hamas...all of them. There own people see they don't say anything because they would do the same.
10. Are we being deceived by our leaders?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.10.11)
It does not look to me like the picture of a man who is scared... On the contrary, he looks happy...
11. The post at No. 10 is not mine.
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.11.11)
Nasrallah is terrified out of his mind. That is why he lives in a bunker thirty feet underground. That's not really my idea of "happy."
12. #11 - actually, he does look very happy
William ,   Israel   (08.11.11)
He reminds me of Sally Struthers from midnight infomercials. "Would you like to make more money? Sure, we all do?"
13. The Lebanese will only get rid of a radical Hezbollah after
Erekat   (08.11.11)
much, much Sunni bloodshed.
14. #3 Observer, How do you tarnish a turd?
Maxime ,   ISRAEL / USA   (08.11.11)
You tarnish a turd by flushing it's ugly face down the toilette.
15. #2 is right, unfortunately. (end)
