Press TV (Iran): "Hezbollah 'can change future of region'"

An interesting bit of pro-Hizbullah cheerleading from the Iranian presss:
Hezbollah says the resistance movement is fully prepared to repel any Israeli invasion, and even change the future of the region.

"Following the July war the Israelis began to review their mistakes," the movement's Secretary-General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah said on Sunday, referring to Israeli recent military moves near the Lebanese border.

Nasrallah added that the Israelis conducted the maneuvers with 50,000 forces in preparation for an invasion against Lebanon. “They (Israelis) have said the war games are aimed at improving their military coordination to stage another war on Lebanon," he said.

Nasrallah whose movement staged military maneuvers in response to the Israeli war games added that the real massage of the resistance group was to say that Hezbollah has the required knowledge and military capabilities to defend Lebanon.

"We are ready day and night to defend Lebanon and even to gain the largest ever victory that can change the future of the region. This is the real message of our military maneuvers," the Hezbollah leader added.

He also slammed the Lebanese government for its inaction against the Israeli hostile moves.

The Israeli army has deployed 50,000 troops near the country's borders but the Lebanese government has not even condemned the action, Nasrallah said.

"They don't consider Israel as the nation's foe and even some of them are pleased with it because Israel wants to eradicate Hezbollah," Nasrallah concluded.
Not that the feeling isn't mutual, you understand. MOT News has the AFP version of this story and speaking of Hizbullah, Jihad Watch has a post about "Hizballah Shish Kebabs." (How many spellings of "Hizbullah" can you spot in this post?)
