Hizbullah in Syria

One of my sources of amusement is reading US reporters commenting on Hizbullah.  It is clear from reading their reports that they exclusively talk to enemies of the party in Lebanon.  For example, they keep repeating the mantra in Saudi media that Hizbullah would face anger among its base for its military intervention in Syria.  The truth? The base has been urging the party to get more heavily involved in Syria for months now. 

PS I am sure that Nicholas Blanford will this week stumbles on a Hizbullah commander, Abu Potato, who will exclusively tell him that all party fighters and commanders now hate Nasrallah for the intervention in Syria.
