Hezbollah “Freed” Southern Lebanon!

In words too astonishing to be fabricated (so they must have actually been spoken), Lebanese President Emile Lahoud suggests that Hezbollah “freed” Lebanon:
SPIEGEL: United Nations Resolution 1559 demands that the army should control the whole country — up to the border with Israel.
Lahoud: It (the army) does that. But it wasn’t the army that freed the occupied south of the country, rather it was the resistance which achieved that. Without this resistance Lebanon would still be occupied today.
SPIEGEL: You’re talking about Hezbollah. But Israel’s withdrawal happened six years ago. Why has the state still not fulfilled the task set by the UN?
Lahoud: Naturally the strongholds of the resistance are not known. Despite the hail of bombs, the Israelis have been unable to produce one single photo of a destroyed resistance base, because they don’t know where they are. Army bases, on the other hand, are well known and this is why they are invariably destroying our armed forces and, above all, civilian targets.
Well, I suppose that’s one way of looking at it, sort of like believing that the IRS “freed” my dollars last April.
On the issue of what photographic intelligence there is on Hezbollah positions, see here and here. Wonder if Lahoud could get a laptop with internet access? Then type in http://earth.google.com/ …
