WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush declared Lebanon a front in the "global war on terrorism" Monday, equating the Israeli battle against Lebanon's Hezbollah guerrillas to the U.S.-led wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

He said the conflict was a win for his administration's policy of encouraging democracy in the Middle East and a defeat for Hezbollah, discounting a claim of victory issued by the Shiite Muslim militia's leader earlier Monday.

"There's going to be a new power in the south of Lebanon," he said, referring to the U.N. force that will assist the Lebanese army in taking control of the area.

"How can you claim victory when you were a state within a state in southern Lebanon, and now you're going to be replaced by an international force?" he said.




Huh?? This is a cease fire, not a peace treaty. The jury is out on whether it will last or not. How can he claim that this is a defeat for Hezbollah? And didn't Hitler prove that too many fronts are hard to defend? How many do we have now? Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, and working on Iran, Syria, Pakistan, and North Korea.

Let's see who's still there in five years. Israel, the international force, or Hezbollah. And who exactly is the hero of the Arab world at the moment?

That cowardly, smirking fascist moron is talking out his ass again. His mouth must love this decades-long break it's gotten.
