cillas big arse
that thread was from me about dodgy dick.
actually ITK
Dodgy Dick's Halliburton Corp was dropped by us army ten days ago for over charging ( now who never knew that was coming),don't tell me that never made UK news.
In The Know
but it's by allowing the current attacks against the Lebanese that has boosted Hezbollah's popularity. Its another massive miscalculation by the Israelis and their paymasters.
I bet Al Quaeda have run out of membership application forms by now ! (Still it's all good business for Dodgy Dick's Halliburton Corp - and I bet the other neo-cons all get a cut !)

They didn't have anything like 70% of the votes prior to the bombings, and there were plenty of Lebanese people that resented them - despite being heroes of the resistance.
It's obvious Israel and consequently the US have missed an opportunity to sideline them or integrate them into more normal political relations over time. I'm not too sure what they can expect, apart from a further radicalisation of relations in the Middle East. That is good news for no-one, as it pushes the loonies into power (imagine the UVF or BNP being the dominant party in the UK).
In The Know
Hexbollah was formed specifically to repulse the Jews from Lebanon after their last invasions (remember when Arial Sharon let the melitias into the Shatilla and Shabilla refugee camps to slaughter thousands do you?)
Hexbollah would not exist were it not for Israeli actions.
70% of the Lebanese support Hezbollah and they are already part of the government. As they are the only ones protecting the Lebanese from further assaults (and massacres) its likely that they will WIN the next election.
Then, the Israelis (and the Yankers) will refuse to deal with them, just as they refuse to deal with the democratically elected government of Palestine. They are only interested in people who will be subservient.
