I've Been Thinking:

President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu met earlier this week.

Many people concluded that the two leaders spent their time together patching up a badly tattered relationship. They concluded that this visit was really a badly needed opportunity to build bridges and that Netanyahu spent his time in DC talking to both sides of the aisle.
Others came to different conclusions.

Hassan Nasrallah, the head of Hezbollah, delivered a speech on Wednesday. He told his audience that the two leaders actually spent their meeting time discussing Hezbollah. Now, there is no doubt that a few minutes of discussion time were dedicated to Hezbollah in the context of Syria and the stability of Lebanon as it relates to Israel's border. But this was most certainly not a meeting about Hezbollah.

Nasrallah said: "We can be proud that the Little Satan (Netanyahu) and the Great Satan (Obama) dedicated their meeting at the White House to Hezbollah."

He continued -- "Hezbollah is (fighting) on the right front and is having a genuine influence on the region."

Nasrallah ended his speech very crypticaly. He said that if the US were to try to reach out to Hezbollah, it would mean that the US is totally deluded to think that Hezbollah would join them.

Now, how Nasrallah concluded that the Great Satan would reach out to Hezbollah is truly a mystery. Then again, people are often deluded and can have a very unrealistic sense of themselves and reality.
Nasrallah is simply deluded.
