Iran’s Fars News headlines that “Hezbollah Leader Optimistic about Imminent Liberation of Occupied Quds. Secretary-General of the Lebanese Hezbollah Movement Seyed Hassan Nasrallah voiced optimism about the liberation of the Holy Quds specially after the recent developments in the regional and Muslim states. “The regional developments are happening in a way that makes us feel that the liberation of Quds is close to us more than ever,” Nasrallah said Sunday, addressing a forum titled “Declaration of Al-Quds as the capital of Palestine, the Arabs and Muslims” in Beirut……”

Imminent (al-Quds means Holy City: Jerusalem)? To which I would respond, politely, “Imminent, my eye”. The Arabs have been repeating this mantra since before 1948. Almost any Arab army, take any one of the lot, and you’ll agree with my assessment that its commanders can’t organize a piss-up in a brewery let alone a military campaign (as I have noted here in the past). As for Hezbollah: it does a good job in defending its own land, in keeping Israelis out of Lebanon. It has not been defeated; it has inflicted several defeats on the IDF. It will do an even better job in kicking the Saudi Wehrmacht out should the princes revisit their old plan of intervention (Wikileaks). But Hezbollah’s ability at offensive military campaigns is nothing to take seriously. It is about the same as the rest of the Arab armies, the same “piss-up in a brewery” rule applies.
