Re: Libyan War - Second Mothership (4.00 / 4)

I figure it is in relation to Gaddafi.

Hezbollah calls for 'defeat of tyrant Gaddafi' - Israel News, Ynetnews

The Lebanese Shiite group Hezbollah on Monday denounced the "massacres" committed by the regime of Muammar Gaddafi in Libya, saying they "prayed for the revolutionaries to defeat the tyrant.

PressTV - Iran: Gaddafi must meet public demand

President Ahmadinejad addressed leaders of countries who replied the popular revolutions "with a bullet" and said, "I highly recommend leaders of these countries to let their people express their words and that they should follow public views," IRNA reported Wednesday.

He expressed the world's outrage at "bad behavior of the Libyan government towards the people" and added, "All should yield to demands of their own nation. Otherwise, the outcome is already clear."

The Iranian chief executive warned that resistance against demands of a nation would result in no achievement, stressing world leaders to "hear the voice of their people."

News from Israel? Sure, objectivity ensures. I can not think of any reason why they would want to divide (and conquer). As for Ahmadinejad, you do not think given recent events he is saving face?

Re: Libyan War - Second Mothership (4.00 / 3)

Just took the first appropriate Google-hit I came upon. Is it contested that Hezbollah supports the rebels against Gaddafi?

And Ahmadinejad might very well be saving face, just as Sarkozy is out to get re-elected. Do not really see why the motivation matters here.

I should clarify that that would be supports in the political and moral sense, not in the material sense.

Re: Libyan War - Second Mothership (none / 1)

As askod said; and it was pointed out by someone in an older thread that Hezbollah hates Ghaddafi's guts for 'disappearing' Musa al-Sadr, Lebanon's onetime top Shi'a cleric.
