Don't Give Up Now, Guys!

It seems clear that Iran has not only encouraged but ordered the latest terrorist outrages against Israel. This report is, therefore, revealing:

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad promised overnight Thursday to repair all damages caused by IAF air strikes in Lebanon, Army Radio reported.

Makes sense: Iran has all the money in the world, but doesn't want to actually fight Israel. And things aren't going well for its surrogate, Hezbollah. So this is Ahmadinejad's way of encouraging his allies to hang in there: lots of money will be forthcoming!
