-- "The End of an Undefeated Army" was the title of Dr. Abdul Mohsen
Yousef Jamal's piece in progressive Arabic daily Al-Qabas (8/12):
"Hassan Nasrallah never attended a military college and is not a
highly decorated military officer. Yet, he made Israel's army the
laughing stock of the world. This army is considered the fourth
strongest army in the world and armed with American weapons that
even the American army does not have. This army is scared of the
comprehensive ground war that it threatened because Hezbollah's
'ghosts' appear where it least expects... hence, the Zionist extreme
right-wing American administration's loss of confidence in this army
which advances one step and retreats another."
-- In "Lebanon is Dying," Saoud Samaka penned in progressive Arabic
daily Al-Qabas (8/12):
"All the Lebanese are dying today, but that does not matter. What
is important is that attention is drawn away from Rafiq Al-Hariri's
assassination investigation and the Iranian nuclear program, sorry I
meant that the resistance is victorious."
-- "To Where Will American Politics Lead Us?" was the title of
Lawyer and columnist, Shaykha Fawzia Salim Al-Sabah's piece in
moderate Arabic daily Al-Rai Al-Aam (8/12):
"The American government never stopped sowing knavery, conspiracies,
and hatred amongst Arab nations and Islamic sects. They've repeated
the same scenarios over and over again. This time, they are
carrying it out against Hezbollah in order to continue controlling
the region and dividing it up into the new Middle East."
