Nasrallah, Maliki Confident in Ability to Defeat IS, Stress Coordination to Confront Takfiris
Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Iraq's Vice President Nouri al-Maliki have said they are confident that the people and governments of the region would defeat the terrorist Islamic State group.
A statement issued by Hizbullah said Nasrallah and al-Maliki, who was on a visit to Beirut, have met recently.
The two officials expressed their “absolute trust in the inevitability of the victory of the people and the governments of the region against the IS and groups resembling it,” said the statement.
Such groups and “their destructive plans don't have a future in any country in the region,” it said.
The statement said that Nasrallah and al-Maliki agreed on the needed measures to confront terrorism and “the importance of cooperation to confront sectarian strife and Takfiri movements.”
Al-Maliki, who is a former prime minister, arrived in Beirut on Saturday.
“One cannot hold talks, especially in Lebanon, without tackling the issue of combating terrorism,” al-Maliki said.
“The region has become rife with terrorism and the countries have become unstable and perhaps a new map for the region is in the making,” the ex-PM said.
Asked about the fight against the IS in Iraq, al-Maliki said he is “very optimistic” that Iraq will be the group's “graveyard.”

The true IS, Nusra, Qaida supporters are ones who brought them to the region under the pretext of fighting the US occupiers in Iraq, as Bashar did. Also the true IS, Nusra, Qaida supporters are ones who set them free from their jails, as Bashar and Malki did. And the true IS, Nusra, Qaida supporters are ones who embezzle billions that were destined to arm and train his army and sectarianised it, so when IS attacked his poorly trained and badly armed sectarian army fled like it was Michel Aoun on a sunny day in October, as Malki did. And your simple mindedness, love it!!

This trip by Maliki couldn't have come at a worst time. When ISIL and Al Nusra are trying desperately to embroil Lebanon in their hellish quagmire (we just lost 7 martyrs today), and when Sunnis are very wary of the Shiite Crescent from Iran to Lebanon, this trip inflames the passions and throws a fiery torch at a simmering powder keg. For a politician spurned by his own people, his trip can only be deemed as sinister and destabilising, very contrary to the concept of coexistence in Lebanon.

Two of the biggest houthi terrorist scum.
Iran seems to be so desperate to revive Maliki's political career by sending him on a tour of their overseas franchises for photo ops. But lord I hope that Hassan ain't asking Nour from fighting pointers else IS will be erecting checkpoints in Nabatieh, Baalbek, Haret Hreik and Lassa.
