Hizboullah Steals Moral High Ground, Israel Helps It Do So

The day after Israel's weaseling over the UN's ceasefire resolution while pushing huge numbers of troops forward, a move described by neocon pundits as "beating the clock" and by everyone else as flagrant warmongering, comes this short announcement via AP:

BEIRUT, Lebanon Aug 12, 2006 (AP)— Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah has said the militant organization will abide by the U.N. cease-fire resolution.

Amazingly, the neocons and those in Israel who are listening to them, despite all the evidence that neoconservatism is a failed concept, seem determined to hand the moral high ground to a terrorist organisation.

Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon. Three strikes.
