I did not specify car bombs in Lebanon…Syria and Hizbullah were not responsible for all of them.
I know you know better than that. It is not a defense of anyone, but a car bomb in itself does not implicate anyone either. Anyone can do it.
In Lebanon a car bomb does exactly implicate Hezbollah and Syria, it does not convict them.

If you agree that Hajj and Suleiman were allied with Hizbullah and Syria, then why do you believe they killed him?

I do not believe they were allied with Hezbollah or Syria, I believe they were realists, knowing what needed to be accomplished and understanding the difference between that and what could be done right away.

But, how does that make any officer a traitor and an agent?
I did not accuse them of being traitors to Lebanon, and most certainly I did not accuse these great men of being Syrian Agents.

Perhaps some of my expressions are for you similar to my reading a translation of your Arab language letters.

The army has had very little support from anyone. Under Syrian occupation, it was handed antiquated Soviet weapons and received a few second hand US weapons. The latest model tank Lebanon ahs is Vietnam vintage M48, and they have very few of those. The west has been extremely not forthcoming in providing equipment.

That is almost exactly my point about the Syrian Army. Except, there has been a great deal of improvement in their capabilities, training and equipment under US and French military assistance. Also it is a fact that the Saudi’s not only helped pay for Ammo “donated” by other countries to Lebanon, but transferred equipment from their inventory directly to the Lebanese armed forces for use in the battle in the PLO Camp.

March 14 claimed that Fath Al Islam were Syrian agents, and then they accuse Gen. Hajj who fought them of being a Syrian agent, and then those who killed him are also Syrian agents. Wow! If the Syrians and Hizbullah are so efficient at killing themselves off, why should anyone interfere? Let them at it.

If only it were that easy, eh? Our heads would stop spinning so much.

Wadeusaf, you have made some very lucid and intelligent arguments. I know you are smarter than to fall for this type of BS. We both know there are other players on the field.

I have been asking for some solid indication of just that Cadmus. I am asking for a link to those other players. What I have is weak and frankly while some of your arguments are intriguing, I find that so far, they do not hold up well in making those connections to players other than Iran, Syria and Hezbollah.
