Without Syria, Iran is going to have to really push money at Hezbollah. Wonder if they will make the list of terror organizations in France now?

Hezbollah's Lebanese organization has announced that it will not seize weapons from its members now that Syria is withdrawing because Lebanon is at "war" with Israel and stated that they are against an immediate and complete Syrian withdrawal from the country.

Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hasan Nasrallah said on Sunday (March 6) that they will not seize weapons because Lebanon still needs militants to defend it against Israel. Nasrallah called for Syria's support saying that this support will be an indicator of Syrian success in Lebanon. He also said they would gather at a square in central Beirut tomorrow.

Hezbollah believes it will be their turn once Syria withdraws its troops. Nasrallah also emphasized that Syrian leader Bessar Asad, should not be confused with Saddam Hussein and said Asad wants to follow international demands.

Asad, meanwhile, told TIME news magazine that Syria was most harmed by the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri.

Right, Syria wasn't 'harmed' byt the assassination, they were planning this all along.
