Hassan nasrallah had been Secretary General of hezbollah for 32 years, overseeing its growth into the worlds most heavily armed non state army.

Or even in more distant places. Hezbollah s power has been seriously weakened by the recent assassinatio

Standing by, though, in richmond, i am going live to virginia senator tim kaine. Good morning to you, senator. Good morning, margaret. And you and senator lee have actually found some common cause here, despite the difference in frustration, a lot of frustration regarding the president s lack of consultation with congress, and i want to dive into that.
