"Ladies and Gentlemen, we got him!" | The killing of Hassan Nasrallah

 "Ladies and Gentlemen, we got him!"

The immortal words of the feckless Paul Bremer in 2003, when they got Saddam Hussein. 

Getting Hassan Nasrallah, head of the Hezbollah brigade, the forward arm of the Iranian Republican Guard Corps, is much more significant. I'd say. Because Iran and its proxies are more dangerous than Iraq ever was. Bigger. Larger military. Near Nuclear. Supported by Russia. And China, a bit more covertly. 

But it's happened! The brilliant IDF, with the brilliant Mossad, tracked him down and killed him. 

Yay! Three cheers for the good guys!
