Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Syria Recruits Palestinians To Fight In Lebanon
2005-03-02
Despite the fall of the Syrian-backed government, the regime of President Bashar Assad remains determined to stay in Lebanon. Lebanese opposition sources said Syria has not demonstrated any intention of withdrawing either its troops or more than 1 million laborers from Lebanon. The sources said Syrian intelligence has increased its presence around Beirut and was preparing a campaign to undermine stability in the country. On Monday, Lebanon's pro-Syrian government resigned amid massive anti-Syrian protests outside parliament. Prime Minister Omar Karameh would continue to oversee a caretaker government. "Today the government fell," opposition leader Elias Atallah said. "Tomorrow, it's the one huddled in Anjar."

#11  After the barracks weas bombed and BEFORE we departed Lebenon, we gave the Bekka Valley a good dose of aerial bombing. Not sure if that made us even, but it sure made the military feel a whole lot better.

#2  sigh - the surprise decision to disband the government seemed too good to be true. I hope it wasn't an lame attempt to take the steam out of the protests only for Assad to hand pick the new one once his thugs are in place.

#1   The guy with the most guns and nuts behind him in the camp?

In all seriousness, el-Hellhole has always struck me as more of a quarantine zone for the Paleos than it is a dungeon. Think of it as a case in which the inmates are running the asylum ...
