Left in the lurch by Syria, Nasrallah eats crow
In his speech Thursday, Dec. 16, Hassan Nasrallah, Hizballah's fiery leader, sounded like his usual pugnacious self, damning America and forecasting an Israeli defeat in the next war. He even staged a dramatic backdrop of "Israeli spy equipment" on two Lebanese peaks, which the Lebanese army supposedly dismantled that very day. But, according to debkafile's Middle East sources, he was putting on a show to avoid revealing to his followers that he had thrown in the towel in his battle against the UN Tribunal-STL probing the Hariri assassination of 2005. His top security and intelligence operatives were now instructed to turn themselves in when summoned by the STL some time soon.
