    So Mustapha,

    What happened? I thought Hezbollah had no support?

    Why were they able to take over all of Beirut? Isn’t the army on Siniora’s side? It seems like the army supports Nasrallah, as do all the people.

    I guess you were just a deluded idiot all along?

    Siniora doesn’t have any support inside Lebanon. He can’t even control the Army. Hezbollah should arrest him.

    The people give them the right, that’s who. They are easily the most popular alliance in Lebanon.

    That’s why no one is challenging them, not even the army. Everyone wants Siniora to go.

    From Occupied West-Beirut, I say: God Bless Israel and God d*** the so-called “opposition” (which includes Hezbollah, SSNP, and Amal which are all on the streets as I type).
