Nassrallah Taunts Israel On Georgia
The leader of Hezbollah is learning the wrong lesson from the conflict in the Caucuses.Yesterday, in a televised speech, the leader of Hezbollah put the blame for Georgia’s “defeat” on Gal Hirsch, an Israeli military man “who was defeated in Lebanon [then] went to Georgia [as a military consultant]”.Perhaps Mr. Nasrallah is right and the Georgian setback was due in fact to an incompetent foreign adviser. But the taunting Mr. Nasrallah is engaged in against Israel reminds us of his 2006 provocation which caused heavy destruction in Lebanon (which, if one is to take Mr. Nassrallah’s standards on Georgia, amounts to a Lebanese defeat)The taunting and provocation has put Mr. Nasrallah on the same footing with another character in the Caucuses, namely with the Georgian president Michael Saakashvili, an adventurist halfwit who thought he could get away with poking a neighboring foe with the ability to destroy his entire country.That, Mr. Nasrallah, should be our lesson from Georgia.
