#1 Frankly, I’m fed up with all these self-proclaimed Lebanon “experts” avidly commenting excerpts from the Mehlis report as if it were some kind of exercise in exegesis.

OK some Marxist/Syrian “Mukhabarât” thugs might have contributed to the killing of one of their former protégés… and, after all, so what?

Rafiq Hariri was a notorious Saudi-sponsored fraudster and embezzler who had stolen billions from the Lebanese government’s coffers with the complicity of resident Syrian Gen. Ghazi Canaan who skimmed his infamous “khamseen” percent commission for the big boys back in Damascus and Qardâha.

Faux “sheikh” Hariri was most likely killed in a settling of accounts between rival Syrian mafia gangs: that type of crime happens every now and then in Palermo and in the south side of Chicago without eliciting the appointment of a German special prosecutor or impromptu meetings of the UN’s Security Council!

Contrary to the tall tales peddled on Fox News, Future TV, Al-Nahar-al-Wahhabist and other Saudi and/or Hebrew controlled media outlets, “sheikh Rafiq” was no “disinterested defender of freedom”

Actually, throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Saddam’s Iraq and the French government were the only members of the international community who stood squarely on the side of Lebanon’s sovereignty while the country was being ripped/raped by Syria and Saudi Arabia: in those days, the White House courageously looked the other way while Syrian generals tortured at will from Beirut to Zahleh and “sheikh” Rafiq handed no-bid government contracts to his family’s construction firms and organized Oriental orgies cum crystal waterpipes and deluxe Lebanese sex slaves for his Saudi masters.

Eternally Yours in Liberty,

#2 Excuse me, Doctor, but which are the Hebrew controlled media outlets? I want to make sure I know the proclivities of my news sources.

#3 ROFL.

Hey, tw! You can't talk that way to The Doctor! It has a Chair! Give that a full .5 second to sink in, heh. Okay, now that you're suitably shushed, it also has a decidedly screecherific blog, pontificates from the sadly under-represented Massively Muddled POV, leaves little turdlets about Harriet Miers all over the 'Net (trying to drum up traffic from the looks of 'em), and, and, well, and everything!

Sir Thomas would donate polite laughter mixed with substantial spittle to the faux "doctor", methinks, for he eschews the core of More's behavioral dictum:
"I do none harm. I say none harm. I think none harm."

Lol. Another twisted life-form emerges from the fevered swamp. Soon to return.

#4 ... “sheikh Rafiq” was no “disinterested defender of freedom”

I'm beginning to think that, along with the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus, an Arabic “disinterested defender of freedom” is just another mythical creature. The unbounded rapacity demonstrated by most Arabic cultures would be a thing of wonder if it weren't so ghastly.

U.S. Casualties in Lebanon in the 1980s:

Navy: 21 dead, 8 wounded

Marines: 236 dead, 158 wounded

Not exactly looking the other way, 'Doctor. And unlike you, I reference.

#7 .com-

Hey, tw! You can't talk that way to The Doctor!

Am wondering if there's any connection - spiritual or otherwise - to the late Herr Doktor. (Goebbels or Mengele, take your pick)

#8 Fox News is part of the Hebrew/Wahhabi news conspiracy? From now on I'm sticking with the MSM. Thanks Doc!

#9 I know I wasn't quite as polite as I ought to have been, .com, and I apologize. In the circle I grew up in everybody had a PhD (except some of the MDs, of course, and us kids). But despite being a Chair, it wasn't clear the man is an actual professor -- other than by courtesy, I mean. So how else was I to address the man -- one uses Chairman only in meetings, after all. And that whole Hebrew thingy -- last I heard, the Hebrews (hebiru, meaning dusty ones in the ancient Egyptian writings) evolved into the Israelites in the time of Jacob the Patriarch, and certainly it was as Israelites that his decendants escaped the Egyptian slavery. But thanks for checking into the man, so that I don't have to! :-)

#10 Now I'm confused. Am I supposed to be taking orders from the Zionists or the Saudis? Doctor, doctor, tell me the news...
