That if you are just coming out of hiding for the last 2 months, it's not quite a "victory rally".
I can't believe that anyone is buying this....

That could be why victory is in quotes in the fuCking headline.

It's in quotes because Sheik Hassan Nasrallah actually said it was a "victory", not to connote sarcasm you froward ticled-brained canker-blossom.
Meh. I choose to stick by my statement.
Yup.
No flip-flops here.

I thought Smasharoo had already explained how the whole Israel/Lebanon thing was a victory for Hezbollah and at best a limp ineffectual gesture that hurts Israels position?
Do you need it re-iterated?

Missed that. Do me a favor and just make up a bunch of incohorent fruity sound bites for the listeners at home. They'll get the idea.

No need for that. Just yell "Capitalism rules" and watch as they trample themselves like animals.
Yeah, I agree this rally is BS. It's not a Hezbollah victory party unless Ahmadinejad is there.
Well Israel didn't really accomplish their goal did they? They went into it trying to strongarm Lebanon and Hezbollah into releasing prisoners. They also wanted to bloody Hezbollahs strongholds around the border. They got no prisoners back and did no damage that couldnt be repaired/fixed to stronghold.
All the while they pushed more moderate muslims onto Hezbollahs side, strengthened Hezbollahs position politically in Lebanon, procured aide from the West and shown the Muslim world as a whole that they can stand up to Israeli military force with no significant losses while drastically lessening Israels political clout.
Not a "We pwnxored your army" victory but better than the last time Israel invaded and they had a 10 year occupation where they could effectively do nothing.

Their objective was not to level Lebanon to the ground, because they could have.
They did not drastically lesen their clout....a show of that is the U.N.'s resolution to have Hezbollah completely disarm. No country jumped to the gun like they were waiting to do in the first Gulf War. No one blamed Israel for responding. The aid that Lebanon received was not a show of support for Hezbollah, it was aid directed at those caught in the middle.
They did not stand up to the Israeli army, they hid in civilian areas and launched rockets at towns.
Israel had to respond, and they did so in the most responsible way. It was no victory for either party, but could there have been? No.
But Hezbollah thinking is that 'no victory for Israel = Victory for Hezbollah' crazy muzzies I know, but in this case they might just have a point.

The real question is, how many times did you have to spell check that?

I just copy-and-pasted from Kelvy's thread and hoped for the best. Risky, I know.
