     BEIRUT, Lebanon - Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah promised Friday
     that his opposition alliance would intensify its campaign to bring
     down the government, pledging to mount an "effective" action in the
     coming days. In an interview with his group's Al-Manar television,
     Nasrallah said Hezbollah's consultations with its allies were
     drawing to a close and they would release a statement shortly that
     spelled out the steps to be taken.

     "I believe this action will be effective, very important and very
     big," he said. He would not divulge the plan but urged all Lebanese
     to support it.

   Note that this is a "campaign to bring down the government" - it's not
   a civil rights campaign, it's not a protest. It's a coup attempt.

     He predicted that Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert would also pay
     the price of Israel's failure to crush Hezbollah and secure the
     release of its soldiers in the 34-day war.

     "In the end, (Olmert) will either resign or be overthrown,"
     Nasrallah said.

   .umm..no, there will be an election, and Olmert may win or he may
   lose. That's what happens in a democracy.

   Nasrallah doesn't get the whole 'democracy' concept at all.
