Hezbollah’s “Secret” Plan
January 18, 2011 · Mustapha Hamoui
A leading figure of the Lebanese opposition called me months ago and asked me about the secret plan of Hizbullah in Lebanon. I said: what? You are a figure of the opposition and you meet with them regularly and you still can’t figure out their plan? He said: they are frustratingly secretive. They don’t share their plans with their allies.
Reminds me of an old trick I used to do when I was a kid. When people asked me what my plan was, I always told them it was a secret, because telling them that I am utterly confused and have no clue what to do will embarrass me.
But I digress. Hezbollah’s “unarmed” show of force today is very well in line with their strategy of using force without using force. As long as March 14 are calling their bluff, Hezbollah’s antics will remain just that. Antics.
