Syria's master plan to destroy Lebanon again
By Olivier GuittaIn fact, President Bashar Assad never hid his intentions that if Syria were to leave Lebanon, he would burn down the country. It has been now way over 2 years after the murder of Lebanese ex-prime Minister Rafik Hariri and Syria is still free to create havoc in Lebanon, killing left and right, supporting Fatah Al Islam's attacks on the Lebanese Army, propping up the FPLP-GC, Fatah Intifada, Hamas, Hezbollah and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. All this happening under the nose of the international community, the UN, the UNIFIL forces and despite a united front against Syria at the UN with the French and the Americans leading the charge. Regarding Syria's latest maneuvers, from The Croissant, comes this story: "According to Syrian sources close to the regime, Syrian president Bashar Assad went berserk when his foreign minister Walid Al Moallem handed him his report on the Saturday Cairo meeting of Arab foreign ministers. In fact, Al Moallem explained that Saudi Arabia and Egypt had firmly denounced the Syrian interference in Lebanon and Syrian's support to Palestinian terror groups looking to destabilize Lebanon. Assad allegedly said: They will see how I am going to plow Lebanon. Also the Katushya rockets fired from Lebanon into Northern Israel on Sunday evening were only the sign that Assad was acting on his threats. The FPLP-GC terrorists of Ahmed Jibril (based in Damascus) are behind the bombing of Israel and used rockets modified in Iran. The FPLP-GC has allegedly prepared more than 80 rockets of this type to bomb Israel and open a new front while the Lebanese army is on the verge of finishing off Fatah Al Islam in Nahr El Bared. Last, the Syrian Army is on high alert at the Lebanese border as are the Palestinian groups (FPLP-GC and Fatah Intifada) in the same area. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmerts refusal to retaliate has set back the Syrian plan." Posted by: Sherry 2007-06-22 |
