TEL AVIV — Hizbullah has joined the war against Iraq.

Israeli intelligence sources said hundreds of combatants from the Iranian-backed Hizbullah have crossed into Syria and plan to continue on to Iraq to fight coalition forces. The sources said the Hizbullah members have left with their personal weapons and are expected to arrive in northern Iraq by early next week.

The Hizbullah expedition was organized by the movement's secretary-general, Hassan Nasrallah, who ordered his fighters to deploy in the Shi'ite areas of Iraq. Nasrallah has sought to lead Iraq's Shi'ite majority amid the U.S.-led war in that country, according to Middle East Newsline.

The intelligence sources said the Hizbullah deployment in Iraq appears to be symbolic rather than operational. Israel's Channel 2 television reported on Thursday night that 2,500 Hizbullah members are heading for Iraq.

For its part, Lebanon has placed its military and security forces on full alert amid high-level consultations with Syria. Last week, Prime Minister Rafik Hariri met Syrian President Bashar Assad in Damascus.

The two leaders were said to have agreed to increase security and military measures along the southern border with Israel. Lebanon's military ordered anti-aircraft batteries to shoot at any intruding aircraft and increase ground patrols along the Israeli border.

Last week, Western diplomatic sources said the children of senior government officials and ministers were fleeing Baghdad for Jordan and Lebanon. The sources said Jordan closed its border at the urging of the United States. Lebanon, however, kept the border with Syria open and admitted Iraqi nationals.

Payback's a bitch. These are the sweethearts who slaughtered 241 Marines in cold blood in their barracks in Lebanon back in 1983. After 20 years I say let them bring it on!!!

Everything they do is symbolic.

May all the terrorists come to the Iraqi party. A target rich environment.

What's with the health insurance banner? Hmmm Are you saying that hizbollah needs health insurance?

They'll need more than health insurance!

[Sam Cree]

This is kind of reminiscent of Afghanistan, where volunteer foreign Arab "fighters" were helping the Taliban to opress the native Afghans.

This is kind of like when the police send out those superbowl tickets to the wanted thugs, when they show up,
bang the hammer goes down.

Welcome Hezbolla, be sure to sign in at jihad registration desk.(Your virgins are waiting.)

Do you think we can get all the terrorist to Iraq and have a real live shooting gallery? I image we have a deep stock of development weapons to try out.

I suspect that this was anticipated (If I thought of it weeks ago I'm sure the planners saw it coming). I think that it is part of our ME strategy to force Syria's hand. In a few months ( I think it will take that long) we will have a fairly secure hot lilly pad in Iraq. This will put a 1/4-1/2 million US troops at Syria's doorstep. W. says clean up the Hezbollah terrorists inside your borders or we'll do it. After Syria we stick our head up look around and say who's next?

If this is in fact the strategy then it will prove either brilliant or disastrous....no one can tell yet.

Hmmmm... the phrase, "kill two birds with one stone", comes to mind.

I think they may need some
life insurance..

[auboy]

Boom, boom… boom, boom, boom!

Maybe there's a funeral option.

hope so.

Would suddenly be a peaceful world.

I get the feeling these islamic terrorist groups all belong to the same mullah, the groups just change their names and supposed goals.
