BEIRUT, Lebanon - AP Five militants freed in a prisoner swap with Israel prayed and laid wreaths at the grave of a slain Hezbollah commander Thursday, vowing to fight Israel as supporters showered them with rice.

"We swear by God ... to continue on your same path and not to retreat until we achieve the same stature that God bestowed on you," said Samir Kantar, who had been the longest-held Lebanese prisoner in Israel. End

I have never spoken a kind word about the Israelis in my life, but it's simply impossible to deal with these hate-consumed Arabs. True, the U.S., British, and Israelis have committed barbaric acts against Muslims. But Muslims, what day in the future can we expect to come together with you, and like the Catholics and Protestants in Ireland say, "Enough!"

When in Allah's name will you allow us to repent by building streets, schools, hospitals, power plants, and so forth instead of blowing what little you have into a million pieces? Is it your desire that the people of earth eliminate most of your race? If so, I can tell you that the Americans, British and Israelis have the power to do that. You are hanging by a thin thread that you, of all people, hack away at with your own knife.

Believe this it or not, the liar and traitor George W. Bush is a friend of the Taliban and Al Qaeda. Bush was after oil, not peace. The only people he can unite and lead are religious nuts like you. But if someone comes along like Churchill or Truman and says, "Enough!" you had better listen. The armies they will send will kill everything that moves. Bulldozers will then push what is left into large holes, cover them, and contractors will then build condominiums for their people. If this is your goal, you're doing all the right things.
