Nasrallah's Hizballah Seeks to Survive Israel's Offensive
[AFP/Khaleej Times-Dubai] Nasrallah sought to ensure his group's survival in Lebanon by lowering the bar for what would constitute victory, in a television interview broadcast Friday. He defined victory as a successful defense, and has not shied away from acknowledging the gravity of defeat. "A defeat in Lebanon will end the region's resistance movements, the Palestinian cause, and impose Israel's conditions for a (Middle East) settlement," he warned. "We love martyrdom," he said Friday, "but we take precautions to deny the enemy an easy victory." A defeat on the battlefield, so long as Hizballah is seen to have put up a good fight, could give Nasrallah heroic status.
