Hizbullah announced Friday it was unfazed by the fact that the U.S. had sent the U.S.S. Cole to take up a position opposite the Lebanese shore.
A senior member of the terror group said: "This is a threat which will not succeed in affecting the military arm of Hizbullah."
The U.S. said the move was a "show of support" for the majority anti-Syrian government, which faces a threat of civil unrest.
