Bush Asserts Hizballah Is Loser in Lebanese Conflict
[New York Times] Jim Rutenberg - President Bush on Monday declared that Hizballah had been the loser in the month-long fight with Israel and warned Syria and Iran against resupplying the Lebanese militia. Israel and the U.S. said Hizballah was the loser because the UN Security Council called for ending its control of southern Lebanon. "Hizballah, of course, has got a fantastic propaganda machine and they're claiming victories," Bush said. "But how can you claim victory when at one time you were a state within a state, safe within southern Lebanon, and now you're going to be replaced with a Lebanese Army and an international force?"
