Clearly irony is something that is completely lost on the Syrians. The same group of thugs who have most recently systematically killed 10 politicians and journalists in Lebanon are lecturing the world about terrorism and peace. According to Walid al-Moualem, a Syrian government spokesman:
"Whoever wants peace does not commit terrorism..."
If only some of our politicians could be convinced to think this way!
Of course, then he goes on to say:
Of course, then he goes on to say:
"The fighter Imad Moughniyah was the target of lots of intelligence agencies. He was a backbone of the Islamic resistance."
Killing an active fighter in the "resistance" can hardly be called terrorism. After all, when a soldier is killed in battle, that is not an act of terror - that is part of their job description.
The attempt to label the act a "crime" is even more absurd:
The attempt to label the act a "crime" is even more absurd:
"As a state, we will irrefutably prove the party involved in this crime and who stands behind it. An investigation is ongoing,"The real crime is that an individual who was wanted for his crimes by no less than 42 countries was walking freely in Syria.
The notion that he was somehow "off limits" because he was not in Lebanon when he was killed is also really rich. Especially coming from a group that blew up an Embassy and a Jewish Community Center in Argentina and has threatened to repeat these crimes in the near future.
