Hezbollah Outreach To "Sunnis Who Are Loyal To Hezbollah" Not So Kind To Expert Expertise Of Foreign Policy Experts Who Deny Sunni-Shiite Cooperation

Outreach

Guess they don't hate each other that much after all:

At least 20 Hizbullah fighters have been killed during military training in Iran, the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Watan reported Thursday evening, quoting the Director General of the Islamic Union in Lebanon, Muhammad Ali Husseini. The Lebanese official did not say exactly how the fighters were killed, but he made clear that "Hizbullah regards those killed while training in Iran as holy ones who died fulfilling their duties, and this concerns not only Shi'ites, but also Sunnis who are loyal to Hizbullah." "The training in Iran lies at the heart of our connections with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard", said Husseini... since November 2006, 4,500 Hizbullah fighters have been sent to Iran for training, with each round of training lasting three months. Every month, 300 Hizbullah fighters fly from Beirut to Teheran, with many of them coming from the villages south of the Litani River, said the report.

When the West is finally forced to confront Iran in ten or fifteen years - either in response to a cataclysmic wakeup call or as a last whimpering sigh of resignation - you can be quite sure that there will still be people saying that Iran has no confirmed connections to terrorism. These will be the same geniuses who spent years sneeringly deriding the "neoconservatives" and "Likudniks" who were lying about Mugniyah's connections to Hezbollah. Because Hezbollah assured them that there were in no way tied to Mugniyah. Right before they declared him a "pillar" of their endless genocidal war against Israel
