From other news sources I’ve read recently:
“Iran, Syria Hezbollah feared stoking major conflagration in Lebanon to forestall Security Council reprimand on July 16. Saudi and Lebanese intelligence report sighting hectic preparations by Iran, Syria and the Hezbollah to foment major trouble in Lebanon up to and after mid-July. They intend the eruption to throw off track the July 16 UN Security Council session called to castigate their non-implementation of its Resolution 1701, especially their defiance of the clauses banning the continued arms smuggling to Hezbollah from Iran and Syria.”
“Washington sources connect the cancellation of defense secretary Robert M. Gates four-tour national Latin American tour this week, among other things, to the deteriorating security situation in the Middle East and Gulf.”
“Damascus is also moving home Syrian students at Lebanese universities due to unstable conditions.”
“intelligence sources expect the ructions already gripping Lebanon to escalate from mid-July and climax in the first week of September, when the pro-Syrian president Emil Lahoud ends his tenure. Damascus, Tehran and Hezbollah are aiming to bring down the pro-Western Fouad Siniora’s government in Beirut or at least shrink its jurisdiction to a number of neighborhoods in the capital similar to Nouri al Maliki’s administration in Baghdad.
Word has reached Riyadh from Damascus indicating that president Bashar Assad plans to use the showdown in Lebanon to ignite war clashes in all of Lebanon and against Israel on two fronts, the Golan and the Gaza Strip.”
If these reports are true, doesn’t it seem Syria, Iran and their minions might be overplaying their hand? Some of the readers responses in the article spoke of: “the first anniversary of the divine victory” and “victory and the anniversary “. What are these people on? In what way, any possible way, can the fiasco Hezbollah started last year that almost completely destroyed southern Lebanon be considered a victory? Starting a war, hiding behind civilians, destroying Lebanon’s infrastructure, then passing out counterfeit $100 bills to rebuild what they destroyed. Only in the pitiful mindset of radical Islamist could this be considered a victory. One can only shake ones head at the incompetence demonstrated by Hezbollah leadership. God bless the good people of Lebanon and the region to see past lies and misogyny of the fools that want to grab the Tiger by the tail, again.
We want Sandmonkey back! Good to see your still voicing your opinions though. Keep safe!
