Hezbollah losing base

In an unusual statement for a Hezbollah official, the second in command of Hezbollah's political wing, went on to say that Hezbollah did not expect this fierce reaction from Israel. It is unusual for Hezbollah to admit to mistakes that should have been forseen over the television; however the timing is understandable. The tides are turning against Hezbollah. Support at home is wanning and Hezbollah is preparing the ground in the domestic arena to try and shed responsibility from itself for this crisis at the homefront. This blame wash is suppose to calm people in Lebanon that Hezbollah was not wrong in its expectation that Israel will response in a docile manner; even though it is now very clear it is not the case.

In another front, the world PR front, Hezbollah is also suffering a major blow after the bomb laid on it by the UN Humanitarian coordinator Yan Egland. More and more foreign news agencies are reporting that their reports from Lebanon about the extent to which the targets hit by Israel were purely civilian, were heavily influenced by Hezbollah media "advisors"... apperantly Hezbollah's media blitz is turning against it big time.
