Hizbullah declares victory
In latest video aired on Al-Manar TV terror group says it ‘defeated the invincible army’

Hizbullah did not wait for the official UN Security Council announcement on a ceasefire and launched its own media campaign declaring it had 'won the war against Israel.'
In the latest video aired on Al-Manar TV the terror group says it “defeated the invincible army” and “July-August 2006: Legend shattered.”
These clips, which are aired between regularly-scheduled programs, include excerpts from Hassan Nasrallah speeches in which he had promised victory; similar videos were aired during the IDF’s withdrawal from Lebanon in May 2000.
Meanwhile, the Lebanese government is preparing for war’s conclusion; Prime Minister Fouad Siniora met with Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabi Berri to discuss the deployment of the army in the south. Some reports said a Hizbullah member also took part in the meeting, but Berri’s associates denied the reports.
It was also reported that Arab League and Lebanese representatives met in New York with US and French officials.
It appears that Lebanon will agree to the compromise offer according to which the IDF will gradually pull out of the country.
Last Wednesday Nasrallah said in his speech that Hizbullah supported a decision by the Lebanese government, which includes a Hizbullah minister, to deploy 15,000 troops to the border if that would bolster Lebanon's calls for the resolution to include a demand for Israel's immediate withdrawal from the south.
"If everyone sees that deploying the army will help find a way out politically that would result in the halting of aggression ... This for us is a national and honorable way out," he said.
Lebanese officials estimate that Iran and Syria will not oppose a ceasefire deal; this seems reasonable in light of the fact that the two countries have repeatedly called for a ceasefire, apparently in a bid to keep Hizbullah from collapsing so that it may take part in future confrontations with Israel.
Olmert has defeated the IDF and Nasrallah takes the credit.
My sources tell me America has started to put pressure on Israel to stop the war and give diplomacy one last chance to win.
This is the wrong thing to do and not only is it a mistake it is immoral. For to end the war without a defeat of Hizballah, will mean that civilians on both sides have suffered for nothing.
But even worse than the suffering of today, will be the suffering of the future. That now as sure as I am that the sun will rise in the morning, death too many will be born out of this mishandling of the war.
Iran and its proxy Hizballah will be strengthen to spread hate and violence across first Israel, then the Jewish people world wide and then the west as a whole.
As in WW2 where 6,000,000 Jews were murdered, the greater death toll was to the non Jewish world with 60,000,000 dead world wide.
Hizballah has not won on the battle field the death blow came from first the Knesset in Jerusalem and then from the White House.
