I guess the pain threshold is being reached:
Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah called on Sunday for Arab political forces to "stop the war on Syria," promising that if they left the country alone, his Lebanese Shi'ite group would also withdraw.
Fighting in Syria has been a strain on Hezbollah, which has increased training and reduced tours in Syria to spread out the pain.
Of course, Nasrallah didn't call for the Iranians to stay out. Or for the Shia foreign legion that Iran pays for to get out. Or call for an end to the Russian arms paid for by Iran.
Nor did Nasrallah say anything about Israel. Another way Hezbollah has tried to bolster support for their commitment to Assad has been to claim they are fighting Israel in Syria. I guess they haven't seen too many Jews on the battlefield.
And Allah forbid that Nasrallah should mention that the Persians are happy to fight to the last Arab to advance Iranian interests.
Sadly for Nasrallah, the Sunni Arab states supporting the anti-Assad rebellion are unlikely to take him up on his offer.
I assume this is the next step on the path to pulling Hezbollah's expeditionary force out altogether. Nasrallah will probably claim that they have to focus on Israel to the south and can best help by securing Assad's rear area in Lebanon.
