Halutz: “We tried to assassinate Nasrallah during the Lebanon war”

Former Israeli Army Chief of Staff, Dan Halutz, stated Sunday that Israel had tried to assassinate Hezbollah leader, Hasan Nasrallah, during the war against Lebanon in 2006.
In a TV interview, Halutz stated that Israel tried to assassinate Nasrallah but all of its efforts were met with failure.

He did not provide details on such attempts, but he was most likely referring to August 13 when Israel repeatedly shelled Al Dahiya Al Janoubiyya area using heavy bombs that are capable of penetrating fortified walls.
He slammed the media coverage of the war and said that the freedom of press transformed the coverage of the war to chaos, especially since the heavily and well equipped army was being defeated by Hezbollah fighters, and could not brag about achievements".

    At least twenty heavy bombs were fired at the area and the shelling was considered the most concentrated shelling in the war.
    Halutz added that the army dropped 20 tons of explosive in shelling homes and constructions in Al Rweis neighborhood in Al Dahiya Al Janoubiyya.
    Halutz had to submit his resignation directly after the war as his army failed to achieve any of its objectives, including freeing Israeli soldiers captured by Hezbollah.

    I've wondered why it's so LONESOME here at AACS :
    the site should be AWASH in 'Angry Arabs' what with centuries of Western domination,and the lowly Jews kicking Arab ass.
    But all you've got here is a couple of Lefties,and an occassional failed Jew > Even your Zionist, and pro-American visitors have drifted away.
    Could the problem be Marxist body odor ?
    ( Nothing stinks like rotten ideology ).

  29. In regard to attacking VAA - I am sure it is better (as TGIA said) to lie and quickly kill over a million people. You know, it is ghastly, this immense moral darkness of the mass murderers that take offense of one private revenge.  Simply amazing

    ReplyDelete
  30. As was pointed out TGIA, our cultures apparently have little to nothing in common. So I suppose no need to wonder why we support whom we do, and why we oppose whom we do. 
     
    You are giving an emotional context to the iraq war for which you have no evidence.  Really, it is only what you personally surmise. Surely you recognize that the decision to go to Iraq went far beyond an individual's personal vendetta.  The issue was debated and voted upon by both houses of congress. 
     
    What few talk about now is the great uncertainty at the time.  9-11 was a boldly successful attack.  Afterwards, many scenarios that had been given little chance of coming to fruition before had to be seriously re-considered at a higher level of probability.  Thus, the rogue regime of Saddam's, combined with the vicious, capable and determined and STATELESS Al-queda, was suddenly much scarier,  Combined with AQ's KNOWN DESIRE to deliver bio/chemical/nuclear WMDs to our shores, we chose to take action.  Would something have happened?  Impossible to know.  Afterall, if somebody had killed Hitler in 1935 we might still be bemoaning the "unfair assassination" of a charismatic leader rather than deeming him one of the world's greatest villains. 
     
    If you want to defend the act VAA described above, that is your call.  It certainly would not be viewed as anyting other than a criminal act here in the US.  Once again, it seems the stark differences in our cultures may be impossible to ignore or ever reconcile.

    Call me a coward, who cares.  Challenge the men and women of our armed services with such a charge, it matters.  Course, you would NEVER personally do so to their faces.  Of that I am quite sure.
     
    If we are such cowarrds, as a nation, why then do we not use our "full resources"?  No one could stop us.  We dont need to send our troops into harm's way.  All that is required is pressing a few buttons and our enemies are completely vanquished. The TRUTH is, we have courageously and bravely defended western vaues and cultures around the world, with our people and our treasure, where few others dared.  You overestimate our patience and our tolerance though, and that may be your undoing.
     
    Look, we are going to win in the end.  We have the power, we have the technology, we have the might, we have the resources, etc.  Push us far enough and the only thing currently lacking, THE WILL TO WIN, no matter the cost, shall be there.   All this is just delaying the inevitable.

    Obviously, we did not take the joke literally just as VAA did not mean it to be. However, the meaning enclosed within the joke.... of blood revenge..even after years IS very real and is still practiced in REALITY. There are cases of it among the Bedouin, for example. Do the research and you will find it is not as uncommon as you think.
     
    Not so funny and not much of a joke, tgia. It IS backward  whether it is practiced by  Bedouin, or Sicilians, or the Hatfields and McCoys in rural America a while ago.

  41. This is the mentalty that TGIA and VAA defend.  The concept of revenge taken out on family members was long abandoned by the mainstream here in the US.  There are probably a few Hatfield and McCoy situations out there, but they are the exception, not the rule.  The rule of law, in fact, prohibits, and even punsihses 'revenge' killings.  Thus it is a measure of a country's progress whether such antiquated and backward practices are still endorsed/favored.

    I'm astonished you've taken what was supposed to be a nasty joke to (cruel nasty and absurd) as a serious response.
    But never mind that , what's intriguing is your solidarity with cruel and nasty,there is a covert connection.
    I would've happily accepted criticism if it was due,but come on.Do you really think either of you are in any moral position to criticise anyone ..anyone ?
    vza:I'll tell you what's sick ? the reach of the American evil to every corner of the world ,the mass murder ,the exodus caused by your government's foreign policies ,the wild American support to such policies.the continuous lies being told,the unmitigated ignorance / stupidity in the US.The continuous genocide by the US Zionist client in Palestine .This what sick is.So you and Fleming have till the end of time to reflect on these crimes so committed, neither of you once denounce any of them.
    Fleming:Obama can make all the speeches he wants,the true intention is clear.altough I do find it funny and stupid of Fleming to include the west and US in the same basket. One has evolved while the other hasn't.
    So spare me both your BS and keep it to yourselves as a reminder.

    Don't kid yourself and differentiate between morality and the rule of law,they're strongly connected.and in both you failed miserably.
    Almost everything the US does is immoral and therefore illegal.Example,
    the infamous Highway of death in the first Iraq's war in 1991 were US warplanes trapped the long convoys of withdrawing Iraqi troops "in compliance with UN resolution 660" by disabling vehicles in the front, and at the rear, and then pounded the resulting traffic jams for hours. "It was like shooting fish in a barrel".The massacre of withdrawing Iraqi soldiers violates the Geneva Conventions of 1949, Common Article 3.
    Your history is full of such immoralities / crimes, THE IMPLOSION OF THE AMERICAN EMPIRE IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK.Just keep following the herd ,you won't get lost, there are signposts everywhere.

    Isolated insignificant cases? Sorry, with all respect, you are really ignorant on this matter. Your response is as ridiculous as if I denied the gang killings in the U. S. And I did not just point put that it happens in the Arab world. (What the hell was that, this region? You live in Australia! (One of the U.S.'s greatest allies. Hmmm,.. How do you square that with your morally superior sensiblities?)
    You have decided, with great storm and fury, that you are correct and we, depraved cowards that we are, from a depraved cowardly nation, are wrong and have no moral right to critique.
     Right.
     
    Rule # 1: No deviation from the party line or you are a worthless human being with no moral standing...especially if you belong to the morally depraved countries of the U.S. and Israel.
    Rule # 2: Questioning cultural practices that have a negative impact on the devlopment of civil society and law is absolutely forbidden UNLESS the practices can in some twisted, convoluted way be blamed on the U.S. or Israel.

  59. OK VAA, Im holding my breath! Now, how much longer till the USA implodes??? So scary....boohooo.

    Implosion is your only shot at "victory". Its quite clear muslim armies will never march down 5th avenue or inhabit the white house. Never going to happen.

    So instead you hope and pray we do ourselves in? Well, need I remind, we tried that once before. It was called the civil war. And we only became stronger after. Did you ever ponder that little conundrum, I wonder? HAHA

    The future belongs to the most flexible and innovative. Your societies havent been innovative for two thousand years. Meanwhile, we are just getting started. Or did you guys launch a probe to Mars recently and I missed it? I think not.

    The odds of the US imploding into oblivion are miniscule, but I guess you guys have to pin your hopes on something. Shame it couldnt be something creative and/or that advances the human condition. But I guess you guys decided algebra was a good stopping point. Oh well, not my problem.

    Fleming, what exactly are "Western Values?"  America should look east. Asians are more free market and increasingly more successful than Europeans (many of whom are "has beens.")
     
    Fleming, your mindset is difficult to understand. It is true that Saddam--that subhuman demonic wanna be Lucifer channeling scum--had links to Al Qaeda linked networks. Saddam worked with Lashkar e Jhanvi (anti Shia organization that declared Osama Bin Laden to be its emir in 1999) to attack Shia and Iranians. {LeJ might have been complicit in the recent Iranian mosque that was suicide bombed.}
     
    My question you is why Iraq in 2003. Many countries backed AQ linked countries. Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Yemen and Egypt more than Iraq. Why attack Saddam? I would argue that North Korea posed a greater threat to global and US security than Saddam did in 2003? So why Iraq? Why was involving the US in a complex ongoing civil war (that started in 1991 or 1980) so urgent and important? I don't understand the mind set.

  79. VAA, the attack on Iraqi Army collumns in 1991 was legal. They were engaged in tactical manouvers at the time. They were not clearly withdrawing from Kuwait based on information available at the time.
     
    In retrospect, what appears to have happened is that the Iraqi people rose up and siezed 14 out of 18 Iraqi provinces. Saddam might have been withdrawing those troops to fight the Iraqi people and Iraqi resistance. Most Iraqis wanted those collumns to be stopped from attacking them. This said, it is very sad that maybe 200,000 or more Iraqis died in the 1991 civil war and the Iraqi war. Most of those Iraqi Army soldiers viscerally hated the evil Saddam and would have torn him apart piece by piece if they got a chance. Most Iraqi Army soldiers supported the Iraqi resistance in their hearts.
     
    VAA, you don't get to make up international law on the fly. In a shooting war, armies fight each other. They continue to fight until there is a cease fire.

  93. But Anand, since you support Iraqi freedom, please shed some light as to why the US deliberately denied it.

    “The Bush administration did not stand by and do nothing, they actively aided and abetted Saddam's military in crushing the insurgency (yes, the 1991 uprising was, unlike what has been going on in Iraq since 2003, really an insurgency). The American military allowed Saddam's attack helicopters and tanks access to the insurgents, blocked insurgents' movement, in some cases confiscating their vehicles and weapons, refused them aid, and they destroyed huge numbers of captured Iraqi weapons that would have been invaluable to the rebels. And they flew overhead and watched, in at least some cases filming the action, as the brutal slaughter took place.”

  95. As for Iraq's ties to al-Qaeda, it is highly unlikely that Saddam would have had any sort of relationship with an organization whose leader had repeatedly called for the overthrow of the Ba'athist regime in Baghdad. Indeed, just a month before the suicide attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Osama bin Laden had urged Iraqi Muslims to rise up against Saddam, a secularist whom he viewed as an enemy of Islam. The US government most certainly knew this while it was claiming the opposite to be true. If al-Qaeda has a presence within the Iraqi opposition to US occupation, it is an ad hoc, post-Saddam arrangement whose existence must be blamed on the Americans themselves. When US officials in Iraq refer to "foreign terrorists" it is as if the Americans have become Iraqis, or the Iraqis don't exist.

    -------------
    As usual you're a liar,and a bullshit artist.
    The Iraqi troops were not being driven out of Kuwait by U.S. troops as the Bush administration maintains. They were not retreating in order to regroup and fight again. In fact, they were withdrawing, they were going home, responding to orders issued by Baghdad, announcing that it was complying with Resolution 660 and leaving Kuwait. At 5:35 p.m. (Eastern standard Time) Baghdad radio announced that Iraq's Foreign Minister had accepted the Soviet cease-fire proposal and had issued the order for all Iraqi troops to withdraw to postions held before August 2, 1990 in compliance with UN Resolution 660. President Bush responded immediately from the White House saying (through spokesman Marlin Fitzwater) that "there was no evidence to suggest the Iraqi army is withdrawing. In fact, Iraqi units are continuing to fight. . . We continue to prosecute the war." On the next day, February 26, 1991, Saddam Hussein announced on Baghdad radio that Iraqi troops had, indeed, begun to withdraw from Kuwait and that the withdrawal would be complete that day. Again, Bush reacted, calling Hussein's announcement "an outrage" and "a cruel hoax."
     
    Eyewitness Kuwaitis attest that the withdrawal began the afternoon of February 26, 1991 and Baghdad radio announced at 2:00 AM (local time) that morning that the government had ordered all troops to withdraw.
     
    The massacre of withdrawing Iraqi soldiers violates the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Geneva Conventions of 1949, Common Article III,</span> which outlaws the killing of soldiers who are out of combat. The point of contention involves the Bush administration's claim that the Iraqi troops were retreating to regroup and fight again. Such a claim is the only way that the massacre which occurred could be considered legal under international law. But in fact the claim is false and obviously so. The troops were withdrawing and removing themselves from combat under direct orders from Baghdad that the war was over and that Iraq had quit and would fully comply with UN resolutions. To attack the soldiers returning home under these circumstances is a war crime.

  109. The Communists of Iraq sound like the ones with the most sense of all the groups. Your resistance, (that you cheer on from the safety of your keyboard in Australia),  are nothing but killers and thieves for the most part.
     
     
    <span style="font-family: Arial;">"Resistance against an invading force is a legitimate right that is universally acknowledged. However, we think it is wrong to reduce the resistance to armed struggle, which is but a form of struggle that is resorted to when the other forms are either exhausted or not feasible. Since the collapse of the regime in Iraq, there have been, and there will be in the foreseeable future, quite a variety of possible forms of political struggle. We, and the political forces in general, are no near to exhaust them entirely, especially in the spheres of mass struggle, trade union movement, civil society organisations, etc. On the other hand, contrary to all past examples that we know, the forces which claim armed resistance against the occupation, have not presented a political and social programme and have not put forward their own political representatives. In fact, their real project is a despotic and viciously anti-democratic one. Although we believe that resorting to arms is counter! productive in the current Iraqi context, we are ready to engage in dialogue with forces that really fight occupation but refrain from resorting to terror and targeting civilians and the infrastructure. While not denying the existence of such forces, they do not constitute the main element in the armed action which is generally dominated by extremist Islamists and supporters of the previous regime."</span>

  117. VZA, DJ and Curt/Datta told me that the Iraqi Communist Party = Iraqi collaborator Party.
     
    The global left hates the Iraqi Communist Party (ICP) for daring the fight Saddam 1980 to 2003 and for daring the fight the resistance between 2003 and 2008. The Iraqi Communist Party made the unpardable sin of joining with Allawi's political block in 2005 and for sticking with Allawi ever since. The global left "HATES" Allawi and the ICP.

  118. TGIA, muslims have contributed many many things. Many more things than you have mentioned.
     
    BTW, the Mongols converted to Islam and Genghiz Khan's descendent Timur founded the Seljik Turk empire; which greatly advanced global science and culture. Later, one of Timur's descendents Babar founded the Mongol empire of India (Moghul empire.) This empire advanced global science and culture to new heights.
     
    I really like Mongols and their descendent civilizations.

  119. Aren't you Palestinian? Why do you hate Israelis so much? I fully understand that you want the Palestinians to get their own rights. I praise you for being pro Palestinian.
     
    I do wish, however, you would try to understand that Palestinians benefit from Israeli economic growth.

    The global left are for the most part idiots. They have made comon cause with the Islamists. They should  look at what the Mad Mullahs of Iran did to the Leftists after the Revolution. Talk about betrayal!
     
    The ICP did what was best for the Iraqi people. They were not collaborators. They had more concern for their people than all the gun-toting thugs combined.

  121. They shouldn't be in refugee camps, VAA. Their brothers and sisters in the Arab world should have made them citizens with full rights long ago so they could build a future for their children and their children's children. But the Arabs made an agreement, didn't they VAA? They agreed to keep those poor people as perpetual refugees  until Israel could be defeated. Now 60 years later, where are they? There is no going back to pre-1948 for anyone. Nothing will ever be the same. Fair? Hell, No!   
    Your question could be put to all sorts of groups of people who have suffered throughout history. The answer is, choose life and choose the future. Get the best deal you can and move forward.

Actually we'd love to drink Jewish blood!!! We love the taste of it!!

  127. Why are you speachless TGIA?
     
    Both the Palestinians and Israelis have to make the best deal they can with the limited leverage they have.

    ReplyDelete
  128. Evidently, you are not quite speechless!  Why? Because I left out Israel's culpability? Why belabor the point? You cannot control what Israel does but you can control what you do. The Arabs have tried and failed to defeat Israel. I guess you want to continue for another 60 years? Perhaps demographics will in the end take care of it all. Do you want to wait till then for the lives of the people in the camps to change for the better?  I am not exonerating Israel.

  129. TGIA, I don't hate any country. Normal people don't hate countries.
     
    You can hate specific Israelis like Bibi and Lieberman. But why hate a country as a whole? How does that benefit anyone?
     
    Hatred is always wrong.

  130. Or perhaps you object to my stating that Arab countries should have made them full citizens instead of perpetual refugees? Well, then I guess the United States was wrong to allow Palestinians to become citizens,right? Should we have sent them back to whatever refugee camp we could squeeze them into? I live near a large community of Palestinians. Thriving businesses, beautiful homes. An Arab man once responded to my query as to why most Arab countries did not allow Palestinans citrizenship, full rights, etc. He responded with, "Why should we have to do that when Israel created the problem?"
    I was flabbergasted. Is helping people reduced to who is at fault for their predicament?

  131. So do you dispute the rights of the Palestinians to their land ?

    ReplyDelete
  132. Not at all! I just do not think either side will get everything they want or deserve. I am all for the U.S. pressuring Israel to go back to its 1967 borders and dismantle the settlements. But right of return in fact is a dead end. There is no way that is going to happen. Reparations, yes. I think both sides must compromise. That is the ony chance for a decent future.

  133. Btw, the Assyrians have rights to lands, too. And I am not talking about ancient times, here. How about lands stolen from them in the 1900's 20's 30's  80's ?Right now?
    Do you see Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran coming through for them? Would you be willing to have all those Arab, Kurdish, and Turkish familes removed from that land so the Assyrians can go back to their ancestral lands??
    Did this dispossesion cross any of those smug viewers minds who listened to Obama's speech and then talked about hypocrisy? Well, there is a little matter of their own hypocrisy for the Arabs, Kurds, and Turks to  ponder, too.

    I'm a little confused,on the one hand you say "Arab world should have made the Palestinians citizens with full rights long ago".Israel has not ceased for one moment to colonise and evict them from their owned land. On the other hand,you say you don't dispute their right to their land.I see that as a contradiction.There can only be 2 choices ,either it's their land or it's not.Please make it clear.Furthermore , have you asked any Palestinian whether they want their land back ? have you asked them if they want to forgive and forget.
    BTW Should the Assyrians forgive and forget as well ?
    And how do you see morality and the rule of law fit in these contexts.

  138. I understand VAA, but what is to be done? Can you turn back the clock to the time of the British Mandate? Can you put an end to the State of Israel? Of course, in a fair world the Palestinians and the Assyrians, and the Native Americans, and assorted other peoples would all get back their lands. You know and I know that is not going to happen. So what is to be done for all those Palestinians in camps? Just continue to live there for another 60 years in limbo? I do not approve at all of what Israel is doing. How are you going to stop it? I just see a negotiated settlement as the only way out of this tragedy. It would be fair to all to simply have one state where all could live equally but what are the chances of that happening? I don't know what more to tell you. I have a relative married to a Palestinian and the opinions in his family are as varied as can be. Some simply want to move on with their lives and live in peace. Others think that one day they will have it all again and Israel will be destroyed. Others want to make the best of a lousy deal and reach a negotiated settlement. Who is right? Morality and the rule of law? You are talking about a perfect world, my friend and it does not exist. Will the Arab countries restore all of the Jewish properties and wealth they were forced to leave behind? Lots and lots of questions and counter questions.

  139. VAA, the ground war began on February 24th. Saddam was offered the chance to leave and didn't. Most of Saddam's army broke on February 25th.
     
    On February 26th, Saddam's army was in complete retreat and was encircled from the North. It was then, with the escape North cut off, that Saddam made the ridiculous speach you mentioned. However, Saddam did not control his army in the South. He was not in communications with them. Some of the biggest battles the world has seen since WWII took place on February 27th. In fact, the biggest tank battle since WWII took place on February 28th, after the cease fire was declared. {Many units were out of communication and still fighting.}
     
    The coalition declared a unilateral cessation of hostile activities on February 27th, at Colin Powell's request. The formal cease fire went into effect on Febrary 28th.
     
    VAA, in practice the Iraqi Army was redeploying to fight the Iraqi resistance that had siezed most of 14 provinces (out of 18) inside Iraq. The Iraqi resistance wanted the Iraqi Army to remain bottled up in the South. Colin Powell, like you VAA, wanted the war to end ASAP. And as a result allowed a significant part of the Iraqi Army to retreat north on February 27th and February 28th.
     
    Why did you want the Iraqi Army to be allowed safe passage north VAA? Did you back Saddam against the heroic Iraqi resistance. Many Palestinians did. So did many Saudis, and even I am ashamed to admit, many Americans.
     
    Most of the Iraqi Army was tied up in the South and in the North (against Turkey.) The Iraqi resistance took advantage of this to sieze much of the middle. Then people like you VAA (and some crazies in Bush Senior's administration) demanded that the Iraqi Army be allowed to retreat from the South and North to save Saddam in the center and to gradually reconquer the South and the North.
