The Victory Speech

Nasrallah has never lied. He is cocky, he is arrogant, but at least from our experience with him, to my regret, what he has said, he has done. And when he says 'I have 20,000 missiles' I believe him
Israeli Infrastructure Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, in an interview with Israel's Army Radio today

A massive rally was organized by Hezbollah in Beirut to commemorate the first anniversary of the end of the 34-day war with Israel, also known as the "divine victory"... Nasrallah addressed the crowds through giant TV screens set up at the venue.

"If you, the Zionists, are considering attacking Lebanon, I am reserving a surprise for you that will change the fate of the war and the region ... By saying this, I and the resistance realize the responsibility we are taking on ... God willing, in the same way we were victorious in August 2006, I warn them that here in Lebanon there is a resistance, an army and a people that reject humiliation and fear only God."

"We are here because Hezbollah is the only one that managed to defeat Israel, despite the high price we paid," said Hassan Korkomaz, who gathered with his family on Tuesday to listen to Nasrallah's speech.
Siham Karout, a 22-year-old student, said she was attending the rally as Hezbollah represented "the country's future"."It defeated Israel and showed the poor and dissafected of this country that it could beat the most powerful army".

Israel's war with Hezbollah resulted in the deaths of more than 1,200 Lebanese civilians, a third of them children, as well as 160 Israelis, most of them soldiers. It destroyed more than 25,000 homes and 50,000 other buildings, most of them in southern Lebanon, before ending with a UN-brokered ceasefire on August 14.
Israel failed in both its stated aims for launching the war: to stop rocket fire on northern Israel and to recover two soldiers captured by Hezbollah in a deadly cross-border raid.

"Hizbullah Officer: We Would've Given Up"

"The cease-fire acted as a life jacket for the organization [at the end of the Second Lebanon War]," a Hizbullah officer said in an interview aired by Channel 10 on Tuesday.

In the interview, the unnamed officer said Hizbullah gunmen would have surrendered if the fighting last summer had continued for another 10 days.

His statement sharply contrasted with those made by Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah on several occasions since the monthlong war.

At the end of the war, Nasrallah said his organization had gained a "divine victory."

The officer shown on Channel 10 said the organization's gunmen had been running low on food and water and facing rapidly diminishing arms supplies.

The officer also said that many Hizbullah commanders were ordered to hide before the war started, and that the gunmen who remained were forced to fire Katyusha rockets from inside urban populations because of the IDF's efficiency in destroying launchers minutes after a launch had been detected.

He said that when the gunmen relocated to cities and villages, they knew innocent civilians would be hurt as a consequence.

The quick arrival of IAF jets at rocket-launch sites, sometimes only four to five minutes after a Katyusha was fired, "surprised" Hizbullah, the officer said.

I told you- I was at the border last week. The Hizbullah areas of Lebanon are still desolate. Anyone can see that.

We know that they still haven't cleared away all of the rubble. We know that water and electricity are sporadic.

As to IDF soldiers, funny you should mention it:

Baby Boom Reported in Reserve Unit

A 'baby boom' is taking place in the "Alexandroni" reserve brigade's reconnaissance battalion. Ynet reports that exactly one year after the Second Lebanon War, which the battalion took part in, the battalion's men are fathering children at an unprecedented pace.

When the battalion got together for training this summer, they discovered that 20 soldiers could not make it to the first couple of days of training because their wives were giving birth. 15 other men who did make it either reported that their wives had given birth very recently, or were about to give birth.

well you know i hate to brag but yours truly got a little busy while those boys were getting owned by hezbollah

The ones who got owned by Hizbullah were Hizbullah and their supporters.

That's why they're still living in piles of rubble without electricity of water a year later- while tourism in northern Israel is booming.

As to "getting busy", tsk tsk: You know that's haraam for you.
