That is what we have been doing. View the fruits. ISIS, I'm sure, will conveniently begin to engage Hezbollah. Hezbollah, a militia, will most likely smash them to pieces. Only a diamond can cut another diamond.

Excellent observation Hezbollah already smashed these asshats in Syria. When the MSM was ramping up the stories about Assad be on the edge of destruction the Sunni rebels had almost no foothold in any major city in the country. I remember just laughing at the headlines. I guess the narrative that a small contingent of HZB fighters and Assad's minority government had enough skill and internal/external support to spank these insurgents over and over again in town after town didn't really fit with what we wanted people to believe.



I do wonder if HZB will get seriously involved in Iraq. That would be a political nightmare considering how unpopular their participation in Syria is. A well publicized effort in Iraq might be too much a strain to overcome for Nasrallah. He took a lot of shite for Syria and is now pulling a "fight em over there" argument that nobody believes. ISIS in Beirut?!?!?!
