And notice that those Hizbullah "commanders" who don't confide in ARAB media that are sympathetic to them decide to exclusively confide to Western media that are hostile to them and really say the most damning and damaging things about themselves. Is this like the guy who paid some locals in the Southern Suburbs to play paintball or pinball with him and then wrote an article about how he played paintball with Nasrallah or something like that? Here the Economist correspondent (a cheerleader for Free Syrian Army, of course): "That may be fanciful. Hizbullah fighters are contemptuous of their Shia comrades elsewhere. “Hizbullah follows the Koran; our men have a role, tactics and a plan,” says the brigade commander. He calls some Iraqi militias “extremists” and criticises their brutality.
Distrust between Shia militias and some of their allies is rife, partly because of sectarian differences. Hizbullah says that, in some cases, Mr Assad’s Sunni pilots have bombed the positions of their Shia allies. Western governments have generally viewed Shia militias as less of a worry than their Sunni counterparts, though they are often as bloody. One reason is that they do not yet target Westerners."
