31. I can foresee the possibility of a Hezbollah coup in Syria
zionist forever   (11.22.11)
If it looks like its all over for Assad and he accepts its all over then I see no reason why Hezbollah shouldn't try and seize power in Syria. They have the muscle to do it and they have support from Iran and alot of support in Lebanon. All they need to do is to say its to stop an Israeli invasion of Syria and they are holy warriors come to protect Syria and they could probably pull it off. I think the Syrian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood could live with the idea of Hezbollah running the show as long as they have a role to play in making sure Syria stays Muslim. In Syria there is less organized resistance than there was in Libya and there are people waiting to move in from all corners and this time there wont be any western intervention to stop it, Soon Iran might have an even tighter grip on Syria than they do with their ally Assad in charge.
32. Bring it on
Ber ,   Yahud   (11.22.11)
That wiener Olmert is not the PM, or anyone in Kadima. We revised all our tactics and learned your tactics.
33. Shows how worried the Hez are.
Stephen in New York   (11.22.11)
When Assad falls, Hezbollah will have no obvious land route for resupply. What does Nasralleh think will be the Israeli reaction to a Hezbollah coup in Lebanon? And you don’t have to be Nostradamus to predict that the US will also react.
34. Sarah B, U never seize to amaze me...
(11.22.11)
With your stupidity...
35. Why
Ibry ,   Hoon   (11.22.11)
Why do the nations rage and the people's plot in vain? .. toibry.blog.com
36. 1 option left: SECURE BIG ISRAEL, nonviolent transfer.
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (11.22.11)
37. A military coup?
William ,   Israel   (11.22.11)
or just ensuring a large amount of human shields?
38. Moving closer to obliterating Damascus
ProphetS ,   USA   (11.22.11)
Moving closer to obliterating Damascus as prophesied in the Scriptures. When the prophecy was written over 2500 years ago this was an impossibility. With thermo nuclear weapons, this is now a reality. The stop watch has started and is on countdown.
39. To: No. 34
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.22.11)
"seize?" Talk about stupidity .... it's "cease." No wonder you don't sign your posts. You're a complete imbecile. Please do not procreate -- there's no place for you in the gene pool.
40. clarification of the Lebenese situation
Yael Schlichting ,   Raubling - Germany   (11.22.11)
So, finally Lebanon becomes an Islamist country. Well, it doesn't change the situation, but makes it clearer, if a Hezbollah government rules Lebanon. From then on, it's no longer some irregular combatants, but enemy fighters. This is what makes it much easier to deal with, because then they suddenly must comply with intl. law and the rules of war. Up to now they tried to avoid their obligations. But next time, they come only close to what they did in 2006, they are nothing but criminals of war and the IDF would be called upon going to get these criminals. A clearer situation in the north is not necessarily a disadvantage! It allows to reconsider the future strategies of IDF and it becomes clearer every day, that Hezbollah is begging Israel to strike without any restraint. My question is, if we can account for the casualties among the civilian population or should we better ask, if there is a civilian population in south Lebanon at all and what after Hezbollah took over Beirut, what is then? Is a Kindergarten still a Kindergarten, if Hezbollah uses it as a shelter for it's Katjushas? Is a fire department still a fire department, if Hezbollah stores there an M-600? Is a village full of fighters still a village. I have the uneasy feeling, Nasrallah doesn't really have an idea, what he is talking about, when he speaks about an "all out regional conflict".
41. Is N-Ass-rallah stupid enough?
W. ,   Beirut, lebanon   (11.22.11)
Hassan N-Ass-rallah aka the sewer rat, will dig his grave and that of his terror group, once he embarks on such a deadly adventure, since other Lebanese sects will confrot his gangs and accordingly the Lebanese army will split along the sectorial fault lines. This will draw the Shiites into a war of attirtion which will erode Hizbo's goal of taking over the country. Let's see if he's stupid enough to initiate his demise, (I hope he does).
42. #34 What's your name ?
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (11.22.11)
You never cease to amaze with your cowardice, always hiding who you are You certainly don't think much of yourself when you find it necessary to concel who you are
43. HEADLINEIS TOTALLY MISLEADING
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (11.22.11)
"IRAN IS CONSIDERING MILITARY COUP", flunkies in Lebanon will carry it out
44. #23...
Malone ,   Hfx   (11.22.11)
#29 doesn't think the last part of your post makes since..I agree,but to take it a step further,I don't think any part of your post makes sense.
45. #39..Sarah B..re:34...too funny...
Malone ,   Hfx   (11.22.11)
...You should have defined "procreate" for him/her..no doubt confused at the moment ,searching for a dictionary,lmao.
46. 34
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (11.23.11)
Go back to school-start with grade one and learn to write your name.
47. 39
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (11.23.11)
Sarah you are using words that Mr "seize" wont understand.He probably thinks that procreate means that he is not allowed in the swimming pool.
48. #29 Let me clarify
Chris.B ,   Australia   (11.23.11)
Obvious I'm talking about Israel. #44 Thats because congnintive though is beyond you.
49. Why wait until Assad is overthrown?
Chris   (11.23.11)
If Hezbollah were truly able to completely hijack Lebanon they'd do it right now.
50. NUMBER 23!
Brett Levitas ,   JHB South Africa   (08.21.12)
Perhaps the ignoramass chris should read "Te Start Up Nation"!!! Maybe then he can revise his rediculously stupid remarks which clearly come from a place of uuter ignorance and stupidity!! He is way downunder so maybe we should forgive him for this......
