Hezbollah Deploys To Iraq Guerillas That Defeated Israel Aim To Defeat US 3/28/03 10:09:01 PM Discuss this story in the forum LSN Staff Beiruit, Lebanon -- According to LSN sources, guerillas from the Hezbollah movement are entering Iraq to wage jihad against the United States and Britain. Hezbollah, which defeated the Israeli Army in a nearly two decade long war in Lebanon, is a trained guerilla force, unlike the current unorganized Iraqi resistance, which consists of the Fedayeen, who, despite their dedication, are not experienced insurgents, and armed civilans. The presence of a guerilla force that is used to destroying latest-generation tanks and fighting against an enemy with overwhelming air superiority may significantly increase the strength of the Iraqi civilian resistance over the next few days. Reports indicate that the guerillas are traveling through Syria, and that the Syrian government is remaining comfortably unaware of their movements, having opened its borders to allow the free exchange of people in and out. The US has threatened war with Syria if it continues to leave its border open, but there is no evidence that the US has the ability to prosecute such a war. The US would have to attack through Lebanon, which it was driven out of in the early 1980s, and would likely need the cooperation of Israel. As Israel is a Jewish nation, it is unlikely to want to do its own dirty work, though Sharon is said to be anxious for a larger, apocalyptic war in the region. overthrow.com

US Forces Admit Defeat in Iraq 4/01/2003 On Special Assignment with the JustObserving News US Forces admitted defeat in Iraq today when a Marine near Karbala stubbed his toe on a rock. "Ouch !", Said Marine Sgt. Ike Killem, "That hurt." Upon hearing of this news from the front, Gen Tommy Franks declared, "We totally underestimated the size and sharpness of the rocks in Iraq". Our battle plan was totally wrong, and as a result, effective immediately, we are withdrawing all hostile .... ooops .... I mean "liberation" forces from the region." Shortly thereafter, Saddam's elite Republican Guard began celebrating their victory as they always have, by rounding up and murdering their own citizens. "The United States is not the only ones who can shoot Iraqi civilians. In fact we've been doing it long before the Americans ever thought of it.", one soldier, wishing to remain anonymous, bragged.
