Negroponte : Hizb'Allah is a Growing Danger to U.S.

Believe it or not, our politicians really do need experts to tell them these things. Via the AP:

WASHINGTON - Al-Qaida poses the gravest terrorist threat to the United States, and an emboldened Hezbollah is a growing danger, the U.S. intelligence chief said Thursday.

In his annual review of global threats, National Intelligence Director John Negroponte highlighted an increasingly worrisome assessment of Hezbollah — backed by Iran and Syria — since its 34-day war with Israel last year.

“As a result of last summer’s hostilities, Hezbollah’s self-confidence and hostility toward the United States as a supporter of Israel could cause the group to increase its contingency planning against United States interests,” Negroponte told the Senate Intelligence Committee.

3 Geezzz, even I - a housewife - know that Hizb'Allah (trans.= Allah's Party) know that they are trouble in  the making.  And I have known this for some time. Kucinich (didn't he run for President?) couldn't name the religious leader of Iran yesterday on Hugh Hewitt!! (The Ayatollah Khomenie).  If Negroponte's info. qualifies as intelligence than I could run the agency.  From my computer. In my kitchen. In my free time. Randomly surfing. Constantly interrupted. 

This is depressing.  Gotta  go put my head in the sand.

4 Didn't Hizbullah kill american soldiers a decade or two ago.

Last i checked, they have'nt extended the hand of friendship towards America, i'd assume they are hostile till proven otherwise.
