Obama Officials Now Referring to Hezbollah Terrorist Organization As the “Armed Resistance”
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, December 7, 2010, 10:51 PM
According to documents released by Wikileaks, Obama State Department officials refer to the Hezbollah terror organization as the “armed resistance.”
This is the same terror organization that fires on Israeli troops from behind 3-story buildings in residential neighborhoods.
World Net Daily reported, via Jawa Report:
Pieces of U.S. State Department diplomatic correspondence have been referring to the Hezbollah terrorist organization as a “resistance” group, according to cables released by WikiLeaks and reviewed by WND.
Outside of al-Qaida, the Iranian-backed Hezbollah has the distinction of having killed the most Americans in terror attacks. It is also responsible for scores of terrorist actions targeting Israelis, including rocket launchings against civilian population centers. Hezbollah’s attacks against the Israeli north in 2006 killed 43 Israeli civilians and wounded more than 4,000.
And the State Department officially designates Hezbollah as a terrorist organization.
Still, a State Department cable from the U.S. embassy in Damascus referred to Hezbollah’s “armed resistance” against the Jewish state.
Read the cable: “U.S.-Syrian discussions on Hezbollah have tended to ‘agree to disagree’ after hitting the wall of conflicting views on the legitimacy of armed resistance and Israeli occupation.”
The cable and others from around the same time period went on to detail a series of complaints the State Department filed with the Syrian government over its continued arming of Hezbollah to the point the Iranian-backed group is thought to have more than 40,000 rockets and missiles pointed at Israel.
One cable related Hezbollah’s estimated capability to sustain rocket attacks on Tel Aviv and Israel’s north, which would represent a “quantum leap” over the damage Hezbollah caused to Israel during the 2006 war.

First, Obama wanted to shut down Gitmo.
Next, Obama doesn’t allow the phrase “Muslim or Islamic Terrorist” by anyone in his administration.
Then, Obama has a “catch and release” policy towards the terrorist for our Soldiers on the battle field.
Now, this.
Can you say, giving aid and comfort to the enemy?
bigL commented:
Yeah but the Israelis have some kind of engagement or non-engagement policy. they can put a drone or a cruise missle thru a bathrom window and nail someone sitting on the pot.I am sure with sat photos they could turn that stock-pile of weapons into Hiroshima.
But they want to take the high road and be restrained,my hat is off to them, and have everyone like them…but that plan might be discredited by now.
I always hoped the Israelis would by a pig rendering plant and return fire with porker entrails and excrement…

Makes sense. He’s already called enemies of Liberty loving Constitutional Conservatives who love this country.

How would ANYONE be SURPRISED at any of this.
Who is OBAMA. What does he stand for. Who does he have an affinity for. Who has he befriended. Who has he hired to do his bidding
Obama’s 2 Daddies were Muzztards losers. Opie relates to IZZLAM, he is mentally ill. Opie has hung with Rashid Khalidi, and the Los Angeles Times has video of Opie at an anti-Israel, Pallie testimonial dinner.
Folks…give me an issue. ANY ISSUE. I’ll tell you where OPIE the KENYAN dimwit stands.
Most people have never been able to GET IT. Obama is not a LIBERAL. He is a MARXIST wannabee with SEVERE PSCHOLOGICAL issues as to Izzlam and his 2 Daddies who abandoned him.
tommy mc donnell commented:
i agree with gus no one should be surprised by this. obama has made it abundantly clear what side he was on. anyone who claims they didn’t know before the election just wasn’t paying attention.
Rock commented:
Just great terrorist who are war with a Allie are called armed resistance, therefore giving them a bogus legitimacy. Yet here in America returning vets are labeled as possible terrorist, American citizens demanding that our borders should be protected are referred to as the enemy by the President himself. Republicans trying to get the President to listen to the American voice are labeled as hostage takers. Any American using civil aviation is searched in the same manner a felon is, all without a warrant or probable cause. Each week brings new revelations of ways the government is seeking to restrict our access to information free of their control. Each week we learn of new restrictions enforced by agencies not law. Any who do do not fear this government by now is living with their head in the ground. Obama, Pelosi, and Reid are sick dangerous people who seek control not rule by the people.
gus commented:
Thanks Tommy Mac, my Grandad was Tommy and I am 100% Irish. The thing is, Obama is WHO Obama is. LIBTARDS thought he was their MAN…..child. Obama is..in his own dysfunctional psychologically stunted brain….a MARXIST. Libtards are wannabee Commies. They think Communism…..”WOULD BE REALLY COOL!!!”
Yes, so would Santa, the Easter Bunny and the Fountain of Youth. Common garden variety liberal morons, haven’t thought it through.. Our boy Opie has!!! He is a committed MORON. He believes that Che Guevara, and Fidel, just didn’t quite get it right, BUT HE CAN!!! Meanwhile back at LIBTARD CENTRAL…. the morons just want more FREEBIES!!!!!
Commies don’t suffer LIBTARDS. They SNUFF them.
Obama is “all in”, on his dream of REDISTRIBUTION and ALYNSKI. Libtards thought they had something. Commies and Libtards share similar visions. Commies ELIMINATE those who are no longer USEFUL to the cause.
Obama is LOYAL to NO ONE. Never has been. Never will be. He sh*t on his own Grandmother.
Obama is psychologically and emotionally disturbed.
Not to bloviate, but it is AMUSING to watch the LIBTARD TALKING HEADS, still trying to analyze him. The CANNOT. They are LIBTARDS and therefore mentally ill.
I understand Obama completely.
John Frum commented:
I was just listening to the radio and the guest they had on just said the founder of wikileaks isn’t Assange like all the media is reporting.. He said it was started years ago by …….. CASS SUNSTEIN
If that is true, no wonder Obama wasn’t too keen on going after them. If true, we could have Nuremburg style prosecutions for these criminals.
WOW

Unbelievable. He refuses to call radical extremists terrorists, but calls the GOP hostage-takers while giving Hezbollah credence as a resistance group.

What are they resisting… civilization?

Old Fan commented:
What a disaster. Hillary Clinton’s State Department was so eager to go after Israel, obsessing on their building on their own land.
Now they are running from that folly, after it was revealed the entire ME Region is really actually worried about Iran – not Israel.
Such is the Hillary – Barack Nightmare.
Smart power is a joke.
Male Silverback commented:
Hiding behind women and children is the way the Muslim fighter operates. They did the same to us (me) in Iraq. They know that the US will not return counter-fire if the point of origin is in a neighborhood.
Muslims are cowards.
Miss Smith commented:
I’m betting he wouldn’t refer to an armed Tea Party in the same manner…..
M Conservative Operative commented:
Barry has been exposed for what he is. Too many people know the truth now. The thing that scares me is what is happening now. He will appear to move to the center and the conservatives will turn this economy around. He will let them for now. In two years who will get the credit? Who will be re-elected? It scares the hell out of me to see the damage he will do with another term.
TheTriGuy commented:
Gus and the others are right: This should surprise no one with a brain.
I hope others will now start to understand why Barry is saying nothing about the Wikileaks. He wants this information out there to embarass the US. Australia said yesteday that these leaks are not Julian’s fault but rather that of the US. Unfortunately, they are right and every administration since (and including) Clinton is to blame. He started it with those in his working group who said that having special security clearance for people at Los Alamos would make them feel bad. Switching all military ground forces to wearing berets was the same idea. This touchy-feely don’t want to hurt your feelings crap has got to stop. Manning (and any other who is involved in this treasonous act) needs to be put on trial and if found guilty, executed. As Baretta once said… Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time!
RedBeard commented:
Obama might be an American by accident of birth, but he’s most certainly not an American by inclination of character.
save us commented:
Note that the rockets being launched by Obama’s friends are just as or more likey to be aimed at civilian targets such as schools, hospitals, homes, and offices.
jorgen commented:
Assange, Obama and Hezbollah all have one thing in common: they don’t like America.
Chisum commented:
This is a fascinating read.
Black Like Him
One of the book’s highlights is Remnick’s interview with the former Black Panther leader (now Congressman) Bobby Rush, who demolished Obama in his first race for Congress in 2000, largely by raising doubts among inner-city voters about Obama’s “authenticity.” Rush, who still seems to carry considerable resentment from the campaign, alleges that Obama even taught himself to walk like a black person, with a kind of “sashay,” as Remnick calls it, that Rush gleefully imitates for him.
Caldwell quotes Rep. Rush: “There’s a certain break at the knees as you walk and you get a certain roll going. Watch. You see? And he’s the first President of the United States to walk like that, I can guarantee you that! But, lemme tell you, I never noticed that he walked like that back then!” Caldwell comments: “Obama is, racially speaking, a self-made man.”

All in a long list of treasonous acts. TREASON. My patience is running thin.

I’m thinking that, as soon as Obama and his handlers heard that Assange would, upon his arrest, leak an even larger, more damaging (to the USA) pile of docs, they said “OOH! Arrest him NOW!”

“Armed resistance” alright, resistant to civilization.
