Terror group revels in victory

The criminals making up the Lebanese Hizb'allah organization - just last week dubbed the world's A-Team of terrorism - were Sunday relishing yet another victory over their hated Jewish neighbors, bragging that Israel handed back one of their spies in exchange for a coffin-load of Israeli body parts.

Cries of 'Allahu akhber' ('Allah is greater') and a ceremonial crowd including top terroritst leaders greeted Nissim Nasser after he was driven across the coastal crossing from Israel into Lebanon.

"We will receive him with a great celebration, out of our loyalty to those who were loyal to the homeland and resistance," a Hizb'allah official was quoted as saying shortly before Nasser arrived.

"Our heart is open to these resistance heroes. This is a victory for every Lebanese citizen."

According to reports in Israel, the spy's handover is part of a deal that will culminate in the release of notorious Lebanese terrorist Samir Kuntar, in exchange for the return of kidnapped Israeli soldiers Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev.

Hizb'allah has already benefitted greatly from their snatching of the two men in a 2006 cross-border raid. The abduction triggered the Second Lebanon War which saw, at least from the Arab perspective, Hizb'allah score a major victory over the mighty Israel Defense Forces.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert took his country to war vowing its main goal was to secure the freedom of the two men.

Israel's failure to achieve that objective forced it to negotiate indirectly with Hizb'allah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who has already announced his success and Israel's surrender to the demand for Kuntar.

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Monday Hizb'allah had also scored an "achievement" in the last month when, through the use of violence inside Lebanon, it had helped force far-reaching constitutional changes in that country.

Inspired by Hizb'allah's glowing track record, Arabs are reportedly flocking to sign up, and Iranian and other support is flowing in, feeding the Muslim monster.

Last week the chief of US Homeland Security warned the world that Hizb'allah was the most dangerous terrorist group around.

In comparison to the Lebanese organization, said Michael Chertoff, Usama bin-Laden's Al-Qaeda is playing in the "minor leagues."
