 Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah refused to emerge from his bunker on Thursday to celebrate his 46th birthday.
| "No. I'm not coming out until February 2nd. And if I see my shadow, that means six more weeks of rocket attacks! So there!" |
A Hizbullah source told the Egyptian Al-Ahara'am newspaper that Nasrallah turned down a request from youngsters in his movement and in other organizations to celebrate his birthday in a modest manner in the Da'ahiyeh neighborhood of south Beirut.
| "Whuddya mean 'modest'? No three days for fireworks? No precision dance team flown in specially from Pyongyang? Well! I never!" |
Nasrallah said that he preferred to celebrate with his "warriors" when security conditions made it possible to do so.
On Tuesday Prime Minister Ehud Olmert mocked Nasrallah saying, "I walk around freely, and he's still hiding in a bunker."
| "But I can't be fired, and Olmert's gonna be, so there!" |
Olmert said that he was not concerned by the last interview given by the Hizbullah leader and he was not bothered by Nasrallah's "victory speech." |
