File under: Hezbollah

#1 I think more and more, the bottom line is that Assad no longer "rules", but is just the most powerful warlord with a mercenary army and secret police that terrorize the population.

It lasts only so long as it is expensively subsidized, and has logistics provided by someone with deep pockets, which is just a money pit that achieves nothing. Even the Iranian rank and file are getting upset with wasting money on Assad when things at home are very tight.

Hezbollah is wise to bug out, but it means that they either seize power in Lebanon over all the other factions, or they are next on the chopping block.

#2 Somehow the Damascus airport central command will prevent Israeli and American electronic surveillance of cell phone and Internet traffic, and American satellites and Israeli UAVs watching where the trucks come from and go to. I wonder if Hizb'allah supplies will end up near Saddam Hussein's WMDs, parked beneath the Bekaa Valley back in 2003...

#3 This Artic is so-o-o-o 2010...

On a larger scale, the Hezzies Hizzies Huzzies Hazzies, etc. smell Israel's blood in the water, + its no longer just the Paleo Bad Boyz in the West Bank + Gaza-Strip.

IMO MORESO WID THE ADVENT OF THE JASMINE-LED [proto]"CALIPHATE", WHICH WILL BE NUCLEAR ONCE INTEGRATED.
