Syria-Lebanon-Iran
IranÂ’s defence minister holds talks with Syria
2007-03-11
DAMASCUS, Syria - Defence ministers from Iran and Syria on Saturday discussed strengthening cooperation between the two Middle East allies and their armies, SyriaÂ’s official news agency, SANA, reported. SANA said IranÂ’s Minister of Defence Mostafa Mohammad Najjar, who arrived in Damascus late Friday, also discussed with Gen. Hassan Turkmany the latest developments in the Middle East. The agency did not provide more details.
Nonsense. Najjar is trying to figure out just what the heck happened with Ali Rez Asgari between Damascus and Istanbul Constantinople -- who did he talk to while in Damascus and a minute-by-minute map of where, with whom and how. And the Syrians can't be too happy being under the microscope, and they'll be even less happy if it turns out that one or more Syrians helped Asgari slip his leash. Najjar gets their attention, and the 'delegation' that came with him is doing the shoe-leather work.

#4  OP---Not lately, that I know of. There used to be some expensive houses on the Hillside that were paid for by cash by drug dealers, but they stick out like sore thumbs. One doctor is building a $2.5 million log house with a boat dock and a lift for bringing his float plane out of the water and into its hanger.

#3  Have there been any million-dollar mansions bought with cold hard cash recently in Alaska, AP? Couple have sold around here - near the Broadmoor, in the Black Forest, etc. Somebody is preparing for multiple snatches/defections. Wonder who will be next? Perv? Rasfanjani? Maybe one of the Saudi princes?

#2  Maybe we should start rumors that Najjar may defect once his plane leaves Syria after the *body cavity search* of said country.

#1  No doubt about it, the rats are scurrying to determine how much damage might be done when the foundations they've built are exposed to the opponent.

If this general has held his office for many years, lets just say he Knows Stuff. Planning execution, capabilities post facto etc.....

Human Intellignece like this is priceless.
