The "Nasrallah Blues":

An Israel Defense Forces analysis of the messages transmitted by Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah to his men during the fighting in Lebanon reveals a slightly different tone from the one he took in three public television interviews in the same period and in an interview with the Lebanese newspaper A-Safir. ...

Nasrallah admits that his organization is having morale problems and says his group will receive support and encouragement.

He adds that not only Hezbollah, but also Israel, has been badly hit.

He also complains frequently that the Arab states have deserted Hezbollah and the Lebanese and are not helping them against Israel.

But the military losses for Hezbollah are far more devastating, and Nasrallah knows it. His attempt to equate his losses with Israel's is a transparently inept one. If his troops have more than half a brain in their heads they may soon choose to replace him for his abominable miscalculation more than two weeks ago, which provoked Israel into finally taking substantial action against the terrorist machine of Hezbollah.
