Hezbollah siezes Beirut

Nick_Perelman

Is the War Over?
Have the Sunnis been defeated? Has Hezbollah followed the Hamas in Gaza model?

People on the street are saying that Saad Hariri is holding his forces back, that the real clashes will start when he wants them to. However, it appears to me that Amal and Hezbollah (now, simply referred to in my building - even by Shia - as "the Shia") have taken over without needing to spill much blood.

This is a war of intimidation. Hezbollah/Amal have proven that they have the capability to not only start chaos, but to quickly take over any and all Sunni areas and completely emasculate Sunni leaders by burning down their mulimillion dollar houses and forcing their multimillion dollar television stations off the air.

The thugs firing RPGs on my street are teenagers with weapons who have gone up against Hariri's private security, and won.

People in my building keep saying that there is a Blackwater-style South African trained mercenary army in Koreitem that will take back the neighborhood. I seriously doubt that given the way Future has been so quickly isolated.

Unfortunately, the anti-Shia racism going around now is at its heights. People are saying they will fire all of their Shia employees, and many are itching for personal reprisals; ie, "I can't take on Hezbollah and Amal thugs who refuse to let me out of my house, but I can beat up this poor Shia taxi driver, so I will."

Hezbollah has been very wise to attack the Sunnis. Druze leader Walid Jumblatt has been wise to say that he is putting his trust in the Lebanese Army and security forces knowing full well that they would crumble in the face of opposition. If the Hezbollah attacked the Druze, they would have a real "take no prisoners" war on their hands.

The Sunnis were not prepared for this battle. Hariri took the lead, and he has been completely isolated. This has larger ramifications, given that Saudi Arabia and the Sunni sect now seem discredited and exposed.

Zionism is a great idea. It brought Israel back to life and prospered the middle east. The only people who want to kill zionists are evil people inspired by satan!

A Hezbollah gunman poses as he flashes a victory sign after putting up posters of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and taking over of an office of the Future group loyal to Saad al-Hariri Majority leader, in the Rass al-Naba'a area in Beirut May 9, 2008. Hezbollah gunmen took control of large areas of Beirut on Friday in a third day of fighting between the pro-Iranian group and fighters loyal to the U.S.- backed governing coalition.

Sunni supporters of majority leader Saad Hariri hold a picture of slain former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, as they burn the contents of an office belonging to the Lebanese chapter of Syria 's ruling Arab Baath socialist party during clashes in the northern city of Tripoli, Lebanon, Saturday, May 10, 2008. Seeking to stop the country's slide toward all-out sectarian strife, the Lebanese army command ordered it troops Saturday to establish security and called on all parties to withdraw their gunmen and reopen roads while offering Hezbollah a compromise settlement.

Shiite gunmen fix the Amal group flag on a lamp post in a newly seized neighborhood in Beirut, Lebanon, Friday, May 9, 2008. Shiite Hezbollah gunmen seized control of neighborhoods in the Lebanese capital's Muslim sector from Sunni foes loyal to the U.S.-backed government on Friday following sectarian clashes reminiscent of Lebanon's bloody 15-year civil war.

A gunman, holds his AK-47 as he stands in a Sunni street in front a big poster showing portraits of Shiite cleric Imam Moussa al-Sadr, top, the leader of the Shiite Amal movement and Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, left, and Hezbollah leader sheik Hassan Nasrallah, right, in Beirut, Lebanon, Friday May 9, 2008. Shiite opposition gunmen seized control of large areas of Beirut's Muslim sector from Sunni foes loyal to the U.S.-backed government on Friday, in street battles that left 11 dead, security officials said.

BEIRUT, LEBANON - MAY 10: Shiite gunmen guard the highway leading to the airport May 10, 2008 in Beirut, Lebanon. The country remains poised on the brink of civil war as Hezbollah supporters took control of sections of the city. At least eleven people have been killed in the conflict, with dozens more injured during four days of clashes.

A masked Lebanese Shiite man sets a roadblock in the Ras al-Nabea neighbourhood of west Beirut on May 10, 2008. Violence raged in Lebanon for a fourth straight day leaving 11 people dead today as tension gripped the country after Hezbollah seized control of west Beirut in what the Western-backed coalition branded an armed coup.

Smoke billows from the burning building of the pro-government Future TV, owned by the family of Lebanon's assasinated ex-premier Rafiq Hariri (portrait), in Beirut on May 9, 2008. Hezbollah gunmen seized control of west Beirut after a third day of battles with pro-government foes in the Lebanese capital pushed the nation dangerously close to all-out civil war.

zvicmorrow

Why are the hezbos always covering their faces?

you won't need to guess anymore Laxamana, there will surely be a civil war between shias vs sunnis and christians very soon.

sibuk tul Dubuk nih.....

Menatang, biasa la bila bau bangkai ....

Bukanla aku setuju bebenor ngan cara Hezbollah tuh, tp patut sgtlah. Malah tentera Lebanon pun cam bg restu bagi Hezbollah steamroll sebgh Sunni yg talam dua muka (talibarut US ngan Israel). Majoriti Sunni Lebanon lain mmg 100% sokong Hezbollah.

Frankly la, aku rasa cam ada pengaruh Assad & Ahmadinejad dlm perkara nih, agaknya nak bg amaran kat anjing2 US kat lebanon tuh .. BEWARE!

They cant turn Merkavas now, so they started to turn upsidedown the Lebanon. Ultimate goal of Iran is exporting their revolution.
