Nasrallah: Attack on Iran will lead to attacks on American bases
Rate Article:
The Secretary General of Lebanon's Hizbullah, Hassan Nasrallah denied late Monday that his group holds chemical weapons, citing reasons related to sharia. "We do not have chemical weapons and we can't use them for reasons related to the sharia (Islamic law) and for humanitarian reasons," said Nasrallah in an interview with al-Mayadeen TV Channel.
At the end of July, Israeli leaders have warned against the transfer of Syrian chemical weapons to Hizbullah, an ally of Damascus. The Israeli foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman warned that Israel would act "immediately" as well as "hard as possible" in such a situation.
The Syrian regime, which faces nearly 18 months of revolt, admitted in July for the first time the possession of chemical weapons and threatened to use them in case of foreign military intervention, but never against its population.
Nasrallah reiterated that in case of "enemy aggression" against Lebanon, Hizbullah will not only "defend itself" but "also raid the northern part of Israel, the Galilee." In February 2011, the armed wing of the Shiite group already threatened to invade the northern region of Israel in case of an Israeli attack.
Asked about a possible Israeli war against Iran, the sponsor of Hizbullah, Nasrallah said he had information from Iranian leaders that Tehran's response will be huge "if attacked by Israel. "Iran will not reconcile if strike against its nuclear facilities is carried out," he said, noting that the Islamic Republic would retaliate also against "U.S. bases in the region."

Well, let me admit how warm and fuzzy I feel since reading Hassan Nasrallah, The Secretary General of Lebanon's Hizbullah has admitted that he can't use chemical weapons for reasons related to the sharia (Islamic law) and for humanitarian reasons. I suppose we can all just close our books of concern immediately and look forward this afternoon’s camel spider races – right?
But honestly, have sharia (Islamic law) and humanitarian reasons ever got in the way of characters like Saddam Hussein and his army from being responsible for 200,000 civilian deaths during his Genocidal campaign against the Kurds, Shabaks, Yazidis, Assyrians, Turkomans and Mandeans? Hell No!
Should we really be worried? Hell Yes!!
What will be done about the threat? Not a damn thing!!!
Global awareness, global concern and global action are a very mystifying and evaporative process which is based on economics, religion and politics. I forget; who was the active representative body for the Kurds, Shabaks, Yazidis, Assyrians, Turkomans and Mandeans before their chemical deaths?
when israel attack irann what had to do with america......greatn idea mr bearded man attack us bases good idea,,,,,,remember pearl harbour???oh thats a great idea iranians to attack us bases,,,great idea,,go ahead bomb all america bases you are smart iranians go ahead.........
At some point in the future the planet will be restored to it's pristine glory, when it finally rids itself of the pestilence that is ' the idiotic and fanatical human race ' that has continually sought its destruction and will only succeed in its own demise. Bloody minded morons.
No comment could ever reconcile the insanity of the region. If there ever was a bad idea, to attack American bases, this is surely the mother of bad ideas. Think long and hard before you attack our bases and then stop and think again. For those who look for a sign, this could be it.
