We knew this was coming: Ahmadinejad says Hezbollah victorious.
TEHRAN, Iran - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday that Hezbollah has “hoisted the banner of victory” over Israel and toppled U.S.-led plans for the Middle East.
Iran and Syria are the main backers of the Islamic militant group. Ahmadinejad struck a tone similar to an earlier address in Damascus by Syrian President Bashar Assad, who said Washington’s plans for the region have become “an illusion” after the 34-day conflict in Lebanon ended Monday with a cease-fire.
“God’s promises have come true,” Ahmadinejad told a huge crowd in Arbadil in northwestern Iran. “On one side, it’s corrupt powers of the criminal U.S. and Britain and the Zionists …. with modern bombs and planes. And on the other side is a group of pious youth relying on God.”
The amazing part is that Hizballah claims to be both victor and victim—and the mainstream media are doing their best to support both mutually exclusive positions.
