Syria to form its own Hezbollah

Syria has decided that 'resistance against Israel works,' and therefore the Ba'ath party is forming its own Hezbullah-like 'guerilla' organization in hopes of "liberating" the Golan Heights. According to WorldNetDaily, the force will be trained by Hezbullah.

In a televised address yesterday, Assad declared Hezbollah's path of "resistance" achieved results during the last four weeks of fighting against Israel.

"The region has changed because of the achievements of the resistance [Hezbollah]," said Assad, speaking to a journalists association.

Assad said members of Hezbollah used their "will, determination and faith" to counter Israeli arms, enabling the Lebanese militia to defeat Israel.

"We tell them [Israelis] that after tasting humiliation in the latest battles, your weapons are not going to protect you – not your planes, or missiles or even your nuclear bombs. ... The future generations in the Arab world will find a way to defeat Israel," Assad said.

"The resistance is necessary as much as it is natural and legitimate," said the Syrian president, claiming the war in Lebanon revealed the limitations of Israel's military power.

"The result was more failure for Israel, its allies and masters," said Assad.

Thank you Ehud Olmert for encouraging our enemies.
