#1 Syria and Iran need some distractions so that they don't meddle in other people's countries so much.

#3 Wrong answer. Lebanon is far greater than Syria shall ever be, and Iran is about to learn what Judgement day is about.

#5 Syria and Iran are confident there will be no distractions because their friends the donks won last September. If you think this summer is bad, wait till next. The MM think they can pull off another Madrid. And I'm not sure they can't.

#6 Such a situation would quickly deplete the munitions of regular forces and dangerously stretch Lebanese forces.

P'rhaps that's why we're resupplying them. Counter to all those arguments is that this experience bloods the Lebanese troops, and peels off those who would otherwise evaporate at a critical moment. It's always better to know the stark reality, or so it seems to me in my innocence.
