Rumsfeld weighs strikes in Lebanon, Somalia
2004-01-09

Guess World Tribune picked it up from ME Newsline, where we got it yesterday...
U.S. Defense Secretary Rumsfeld is considering a plan for multi-pronged attacks on terrorist insurgency strongholds in such countries as Lebanon and Somalia.
Get your ululator moistened up!
The sources also said that after a military operation in Somalia without Les Aspen, Rumsfeld might recommend a U.S. strike against insurgency strongholds in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley. The area contains Hizbullah and Palestinian forces under the umbrella of the Syrian military.
Does this, have any thing to do with this: Syria Will Return $200 Mln to Iraq?
Separately, The London-based A-Sharq Al Awsat reported on Wednesday that a proposal has been submitted to Rumsfeld to expand special operations forces and send them to destroy insurgency strongholds along the Lebanese-Syrian border.
Military erotica!
"The global war on terror is continuing, and it will for the foreseeable future," Rumsfeld said on Tuesday. "As we prosecute the war, we’ll need to continue to strengthen, improve and transform our forces; modernize and restructure programs and commands."

#2  I know I sound like a broken record on ths matter, but Hezbollah has an artillery park near the northern border of Israel that need to be captured and cleaned up. I hope any operations includes these military assets.
