Moktada Helps Hezbollah

"The Washington Times reported the other day that Moktada Al Sadr's thugs are working to send 1,500 "elite" fighters to Lebanon in order to aid Hezbollah. Anthony Cordesman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies is quoted to the effect that the claim could be exaggerated, but that Al Sadr stood to gain by sending volunteers to southern Lebanon.

So the claim could be "exaggerated"? Actually, it's highly likely that the Sadr thug who was interviewed for this story was just showing off and trying to sound relevant. It would actually be wiser for Moktada (or his puppet masters) to study
the case of Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, than it would be to come to his aid. There is a lesson waiting for Al Sadr in Lebanon.

Where exactly is Hassan Nasrallah these days? He's hiding in a figurative spider hole of his own, redefining "victory" as survival while waiting for the diplomatic corps to save his reckless hide. (One report has him hiding in the Beirut embassy of his Iranian paymasters, though Iran denies it.)"
