Guess Which Country Hezbollah Is Blaming for the Syrian Suicide Bombings?

It’s unclear who was behind the double suicide car bombings that rocked Damascus on Friday but Hezbollah has a pretty good idea who it thinks was responsible. Though supporters of President Bashar Assad blamed Al Qaeda and Syrian insurgents accused the Assad regime of orchestrating the bombings to drive attention away from the government’s bloody crackdown, Hezbollah says it was a plot carried out by the U.S., “the mother of terrorism.”
The Lebanese Shi’ite militant group released a statement calling such acts: “the specialty of the United States and its agents in our region.” Lebanon’s Daily Star reports:
The blasts came a day after an advance team of Arab League observers arrived in Damascus to monitor Syria’s promise to end its violent crackdown on protesters.
“These bombings which resulted in the death and injury of dozens of people, mostly women and children, are the specialty of the United States, the mother of terrorism,” Hezbollah said in a statement. It accused the U.S. of “specializing in targeting, killing and terrorizing the innocent in order to push them into bowing to the U.S. policy that is seeking to achieve the Zionist interest which the Americans put above any other consideration.”
Hezbollah, which is a major ally of Assad, said the timing of the bombings clearly signaled they were an act of revenge for the U.S. “defeat” in Iraq following the withdrawal of its troops from the warn-torn country.
“This horrific terrorist crime committed by the enemies of humanity in the city of Damascus came one day after the coordinated bombings that targeted Baghdad and other Iraqi cities,” the statement said. “This signals that the parties that stand to lose from the big defeat inflicted on the United States, which led to the humiliating withdrawal of its troops from Iraq, have begun a cowardly, bloody act of revenge by targeting all forces and states that helped the heroic Iraqi resistance in its Jihad [holy war] to evict the U.S. occupation.”
Thousands attended the funerals of the 44 killed in the unprecedented attacks outside the buildings of the powerful intelligence services in the center of the capital.
It’s notable that Hezbollah, a terrorist group with such a rich history of targeting men, women and children, including U.S citizens, racking up almost 30 years of kidnappings, suicide bombings and rocket attacks would so easily accuse the U.S. of specializing in this sordid business.
The U.S. and Israel accuse Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime of providing funds and arms to Hezbollah and for allowing the transfer of Iranian weapons and money via Syria to Hezbollah military operatives in next-door Lebanon.

Posted on December 26, 2011 at 1:41pmWe didn’t really create suicide bombers but we have been fooled the past 10 years into believing we should be in the middle east. I hear about how scared Americans are of the crazy terrorists in the middle east. What they seem to forget though; We did invade the sovereign nation of Iraq due to terrorists from Saudi Arabia causing 9/11. We never belonged in any of these nations and with us being there; more and more of these types of statements will be made.

Exactly why Ron Paul won’t get elected. He sat there and gave the benefit of the doubt to a self confessed murderer of 3,000 un-armed people on Sept 11th, and Paul says that bin Laden shouldn’t have been dealt with in the manner he was dealt with because he was un-armed.
Let’s say someone comes to your house and kills your family during a home invasion robbery and the CIA tracks the murderers down to Brazil. Are you going to get even with the S.O.B., or are you gonna give the bad guy the benefit of the doubt because he‘s sun tanning nude on some beach when he’s caught up with?
I vote to blow his f’ing head off….unarmed or not. Not ONLY because it makes me feel better, but because it sends a message to the next a-hole that wants to try that crap in my country.

Posted on December 26, 2011 at 12:41am@JUSTANGRY sorry buddy. Don’t try to hide or lie about the good Dr. Paul. I respect Ron because he does not hide his truth. I would vote for Ron Paul in a heart beat over progressive big government rhino Romney/Newt.
But this the truth about Paul. So don’t hide it. I think Paul is very wrong on foreign policies but he is still better every time over RomNewtey. Ron Paul does has some very good points and is very right on a lot of the foreign policy issues. But he is almost clueless about the middle east.
I‘m a hard core libertarian and I don’t listen, watch or read any of the crap that is put out any of the major news out lets that goes for Fox too. If you want to know about the middle east and or understand it. You need to research it for your self deeply then you’ll understand. Paul is wrong on Iran and that region.
But Dr. Paul still is better than Romney/Newt and our dictator Obama. No more big government 2012!

Posted on December 26, 2011 at 12:25amThat is just brilliant, so you want to commit genocide on and entire region. I have a better idea, how about we stop sending them money, stop sending them weapons, stop buying their oil and just get out of the area all together and they will go back to killing each other off. Problem solved. When are you gonna realize that the US Government created the problem by backing dictatorships, then proceeding to arm those dictators with state of the art weaponry and finally trained their military that has been used to kill the civilians in those countries. Gee you wonder why they hate us so much. Our own Government is our own worst enemy!
