Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Syria tells Hizbollah to stop rocketing Israel
2006-07-15
LONDON - Syria is telling LebanonÂ’s Hizbollah movement to stop firing rockets at Israel in a conflict sparked by the capture of two Israeli soldiers, SyriaÂ’s ambassador to London said on Friday.
Uh-huh, sure. Perhaps Pencilneck is getting worried?
When asked whether Syria was telling Hizbollah to stop firing rockets at Israel, the ambassador, Sami Khiyami, told the BBC: “Of course.”

“This is a movement that is completely independent. We have good relations with it,” he said. Hizbollah was created to fight Israel’s former occupation of southern Lebanon and is backed by both Iran and Syria. “Syria does not wish at all to be involved in the conflict. It’s really seeking to ease down tensions and to reach a settlement that would stop completely the violence.”
"Because we know we'd get our butts kicked if the Jooozs come north," he admitted.
“The most important thing today is to concentrate on stopping the violence, on negotiating exchange of prisoners and on devising ways and means to bring peace to this poor Middle East,” Khiyami said.

#8  #1 actually it can be Hiz or Hez (phonetic translation) but the end part should be Allah as the name means 'party of god' so they are saying Allah and we just hear it with western ears as Hezbollah.

In fact it would be Hezballah
or Hizb'allah
or Hizballah or any of a number of spellings but always with allah as the suffix.

#7  The only realization Pencilneck is allowed at this juncture is that no matter what, he is fubar.

Khiyami moved from fubar to BOHICA hours ago, 2x4 :)

He hasn't figured out that the rules have changed.

#5  AzCat, Mad Mullahs are pulling strings there. The only realization Pencilneck is allowed at this juncture is that no matter what, he is fubar.

Of course, so are Mad Mullahs. They don't know it yet, thinking that they are grandmaster chess players.

#4  Baby Asswipe has been wearing Depends every since those low passses over his place. Now that the road to Damascus is being regularly attacked, he's having to change every 15 minutes.

#3  I actually think he's serious about wanting to ratchet down the level of violence and enter negotiations. By now Syria has got to realize their miscalculation.
