Lahoud: Israeli offensive won't achieve its goals

Israel will not be able to disarm Hezbollah by broadening its military offensive and instead must stop shooting and start talking, President Emile Lahoud said today.

“Whatever it (Israel) does it’s not going to reach its goal,” the Lebanese leader said. “They’re not going to be able to take out the weaponry of Hezbollah. So all they’re doing is massive destruction.”
