From today’s Fars News Agency:

Cleric Terms Disarmament of Hezbollah an IllusionTEHRAN- Tehran’s interim Friday prayers leader Seyed Ahmad Khatami on Friday stressed that no power may succeed in disarming the Lebanese Hezbollah Movement…“But, Americans still seem to be pursuing their devilish goals as they are seeking issuance of a UN Security Council resolution to disarm Hezbollah. This shows that they have not yet realized the true power of Hezbollah,” the cleric continued.

Friday prayers at Tehran University are important; they are the official statement of the Supreme Leader’s policy. Andy McCarthy is right. The ceasefire is a charade. Rice is either willing to fold in the face of terror or has been completely had. Either way does not instill confidence.
