Oh, whining, moaning, and bitching....This is where you know you aren't dealing someone who has a full deck of cards.Like this and many other acts similar to it:
Hezbollah linked to Burgas bus bombing in Bulgaria - BBC News
What about invading Iraq?
You are comparing a US military operation to an intentional bombing of a civilian tourist bus? US targets civilians intentionally?
Oh, insults, personal attacks....
Now about you stop moaning and whining when you're called out for comparing barbaric Islamic terrorists intentionally targeting civilians to the US military?Oh, whining, moaning, and bitching....This is where you know you aren't dealing someone who has a full deck of cards.Like this and many other acts similar to it:

Oh, insults, personal attacks....
How about you grow up, be respectful to other people, act like an adult, and discuss your opinions and arguments instead of personal attacks, assuming you have opinions and arguments?
You do realize this is a politics forum, and not an insult forum, right?
Hezbollah does well in fighting terrorists in Syria since 2013. Israel only dares to bomb them from save places.So now that the Russians can't save his sorry ass, he's asking help from Shiite IslamoNazis? How pathetic is this leader?
That US and EU (partly) label them terrorist group does not make them an official terrorist group. A terrorist becomes a terrorist because of his deeds, not because of labeling.Maybe you forgot that Hezbollah themselves are designated as a terrorist organization by the US and EU. So now, even though Assad and the Russians have killed over 300,000 Syrians so far, they've invited an Islamic terrorist group to come in and help them kill some more. A terrorist genocidal terrorist dictator working openly with an official terrorist group for the goal of killing Syrians. It doesn't get any better than this. You must be proud of your idol.
You dumbass, a group is designated as "terrorist" EXACTLY because of their deeds. There is a multi-faceted criteria before the US govt. can legally, objectively, and fairly designate a group as terrorist, and Hezbollah without a doubt fits the criteria.That US and EU (partly) label them terrorist group does not make them an official terrorist group.

The U.S. calls anyone they don't like terrorists. Muhajedin and Contras were called freedom fighters when it served U.S. interests. You are such a moron.

No, you ignoramus, there's a legal process and ciriteria by which a group gets designated.
United States State Department list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations
"Foreign Terrorist Organization" is a designation for non-United States-based organizations deemed by the United States Secretary of State, in accordance with section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 (INA), to be involved in what US authorities define as terrorist activities. Most of the organizations on the list are Islamist extremist groups, nationalist/separatist groups or Marxist militant groups.
The Department of State, along with the Treasury Department, also has the authority to designate individuals and entities as subject to counter-terrorism sanctions according to Executive Order 13224. The Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Controlmaintains a separate list of such individuals and entities.
Identification of candidates
The Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism (S/CT) in the US State Department continually monitors the activities of groups it does not support active around the world considered potentially "terrorist" to identify targets for designation. When reviewing potential targets, S/CT looks not only at the actual attacks that a group has carried out, but also at whether the group has engaged in planning and preparations for possible future acts of violence or retains the capability and intent to carry out such acts.
Designation process
Once a target is identified, the Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism prepares a detailed "administrative record," which is a compilation of information, typically including both classified and open sources information, demonstrating that the statutory criteria for designation have been satisfied. If the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Attorney Generaland the Secretary of the Treasury, decides to make the designation, the United States Congress is notified of the Secretary's intent to designate the organization and given seven days to review the designation, as the INA requires. Upon the expiration of the seven-day waiting period, notice of the designation is published in the Federal Register, at which point the designation takes effect. An organization designated as an FTO may seek judicial review of the designation in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit not later than 30 days after the designation is published in the Federal Register.
Under the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, the FTO may file a petition for revocation two years after the designation date (or in the case of redesignated FTOs, its most recent redesignation date) or two years after the determination date on its most recent petition for revocation. In order to provide a basis for revocation, the petitioning FTO must provide evidence that the circumstances forming the basis for the designation are sufficiently different as to warrant revocation. If no such review has been conducted during a five-year period with respect to a designation, then the Secretary of State is required to review the designation to determine whether revocation would be appropriate.
The procedural requirements for designating an organization as an FTO also apply to any redesignation of that organization. The Secretary of State may revoke a designation or redesignation at any time upon a finding that the circumstances that were the basis for the designation or redesignation have changed in such a manner as to warrant revocation, or that the national security of the United States warrants a revocation. The same procedural requirements apply to revocations made by the Secretary of State as apply to designations or redesignations. A designation may also be revoked by an Act of Congress, or set aside by a Court order.
Legal criteria for designation
(Reflecting Amendments to Section 219 of the INA in the 2001 Patriot Act)
- It must be a foreign organization.
- The organization must engage in terrorist activity, as defined in section 212 (a)(3)(B) of the INA (8 U.S.C. § 1182(a) (3)(B)),* or terrorism, as defined in section 140(d)(2) of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1988 and 1989 (22 U.S.C. § 2656f(d) (2)),** or retain the capability and intent to engage in terrorist activity or terrorism.
- The organization’s terrorist activity or terrorism must threaten the security of U.S. nationals or the national security (national defense, foreign relations, or the economic interests) of the United States.

That doesn't mean the US govt doesn't use this criteria to put anyone it doesn't like on the list.
