Welcome to the Conspiracy

"So the point that I was making at the time was that the political dynamic was the driving force between that sectarian violence. And we could try to keep a lid on it,  but if these underlining dynamic continued to bubble up and explode the way they were, then we would be in a difficult situation. I am glad that in fact those political dynamic shifted at the same time that our troops did outstanding work."
Barack Obama, on why he was wrong about the surge; translators working feverishly to make this quote intelligible

Hezbollahpalooza

DateMonday, July 24, 2006 at 02:08PM

Just a brief note to record for posterity my transliteration/pronunciation fatigue with respect to Arabic words.  Hiz-bullll-uh, Hez-bo-llahh, Hez-bolll-uh, Hiz-ball-ah (this would be the mystical anti-Israeli religious cult that Madonna will popularize next) and the spelling variants: Hizbullah, Hezbollah, yadayadabollah.  For once, I am in deep sympathy with Charles "The Mangler" Rangel who referred to the Iranian-financed, Syrian-supported, not-just- a-terrorist-organization-but-a-way-of-life as Hezbaloo. Or is that Hezbalú? Hizbahlooh?
