This guy is asking for it. I can't believe the Israelis aren't using this opportunity to take him out.

He said no army in the world could disarm his group. "There is no army in the world that can (force us) to drop our weapons from our hands, from our grip," Nasrallah said. Hizbullah chief also noted Hizbullah is now stronger than it was before July 12, holding 20,000 rockets that can be launched towards Israel. He stressed that Hizbullah's weapons are not Shiite, but Lebanese.

Agreed; Russia has its own problems with the Muslims, as in Chechnya. I did not mean to imply that their strategy was risk free and a cake walk, just effective.

With that said, let me ask you, what strategic purpose would be served by the RUSSR alienating their islamic surrogates at this point? None. But as soon as they becomes a strategic liability to the RUSSR's, all those pathetic muslims will be terminated without apology nor concern for collateral damage.

IMHO

Putin confirms Russian troops for Lebanon, but not under UN flag
Sep 23 8:39 AM US/Eastern


Russia intends to send troops to Lebanon, but not as part of the UN peacekeeping force there and only if all parties in the region agree, President Vladimir Putin confirmed.

Moscow is prepared to send "a small deployment of engineers to Lebanon," Putin said Saturday after a three-way summit with French President Jacques Chirac and German Chancellor Angela Merkel north of Paris.

"We don't intend to do this within the UNIFIL (UN Interim Force in Lebanon) framework, but rather within a bilateral framework," he told a joint media conference.

Russia's defence ministry said Thursday there were plans to send 300 military engineers to Lebanon for reconstruction work following the 34-day war in July and August between Hezbollah and Israel.

The soldiers -- 100 fewer than originally forecast -- were to rebuild six bridges near Saida (or Sidon, 40 kilometres, 25 miles, south of Beirut) destroyed by Israeli bombardments, according to Russian General Ivan Tsyganov.

Tsyganov said the men, from Russia's 100th engineering battalion, would likely travel to Lebanon in early October.

Russia has insisted that this batallion will be deployed independently of the expanded UNIFIL, which is currently under French command with a mandate to prevent renewed hostilities in southern Lebanon.
