"Lying", writes the Arab sociologist Sonia Hamady," is a widespread habit among the Arabs and they have a low idea of truth. The Arab has no scruples about lying if by it he obtains his objective. He is more interested in feeling than facts... The Arab language, moreover, provides its users with the tool for assertion and exaggeration."
From the traditional Arab point of view, it's not proper to give a totally honest answer if a higher order value is at stake, like saving face or the family honor. In Arabic culture, this is not known as "lying", but "adjusting" or "bending" the truth. This feature of their culture may be annoying, to say the least, for police investigators."
"It is the norm for Arabs to deny a fact (however blatant) and blame others rather than admit to the wrongdoing and apologize. Honesty is not rewarded." - Nonie Darwish
"I am ready to kill for the sake of my cause; wouldn't I lie for it?" - Yasser Arafat

Anytime a "David" can stand against a "Goliath" & limp away with any teeth left, they will have won in the eyes of those who support underdogs...Little recognized facts : Isreal was attacking Hezbollah, Hezbollah was hiding in civilian areas & has the support of civilians...Hezbollah was attacking Isreal civilians, firing missles over the heads of the Isreal Army, even though the Isreal Armt was inside Jordan's borders & gathered stationary on roads...This was proof that bigger forces fight by the "rules of war" while little terrorist groups do whatever they want and by merely surviving with a force intact & more powerful than the country of origins own Armed force, they have won in the eyes of the masses...

Well, Hesbos can always lie about it! Isn't that their usual response to getting crushed by Israel?
The foolish statement by the Hezbos reminds me of 'Bagdad Bob''s reporting when we attacked Bagdad...."the Americans are begging for mercy at the hands of the brave Iraqi soldiers"
....the next days we see the films of all the Iraqis cheerring while the head of Saddam is coming off his 90 foot statue. We all had a great laugh about that.
