| Syria moves intel HQ to Hizbullah sector in Beirut | |||
| 2005-03-11 | |||
Syria has moved its intelligence headquarters to a Beirut neighborhood controlled by Hizbullah.
Out of sight, out of mind.... The sources said Syria maintains up to 50,000 intelligence agents — both Lebanese and Syrian — to ensure its control over its western neighbor. Those are a LOT of agents!
That is because they have charity fronts to sucker in the EUs. "The Syrians aren't going anywhere," an opposition source with connections in Lebanese intelligence said. "They are fusing with Hizbullah while pretending to pull out some troops from Lebanon." Bush will have to go to Plan B. The Hizbullah-controlled neighborhoods in southern Beirut have been off-limits to Lebanese troops or police. The neighborhoods served to conceal U.S. nationals abducted by Hizbullah in the 1980s. We still have some big scores to settle with these thugs. The sources said the order to leave the Beaurivage was relayed by Gen. Rustom Ghazaleh, chief of Syrian intelligence in Lebanon. The operation was commanded by Ghazaleh's deputy, Gen. Mohammed Khalouf. The Syrian move to the southern suburb of Beirut was part of heightened cooperation between Damascus and Hizbullah to maintain the Syrian military and intelligence presence in Lebanon. Syria is doing very little to cooperate with the US. Just enough to get a C or a D. The Beaurivage continues to be under Syrian control, the sources said. But the building has been emptied of documents and equipment. The Lebanese opposition, in an assertion confirmed by Western intelligence agencies, said Syria has been organizing a campaign to attack anti-regime elements. The opposition said Syrian intelligence plans to intimidate or assassinate anti-Syrian candidates for Lebanon's parliament in elections called for May 2005.

| #5 As I said yesterday France and our former allies the Germans would not let any finding that Hizbollah is a terrorist organization be effective. I was right. I still stand by what I said. Even after being corrected by TGA. This is a fresh coat of paint on the same old stuff. Syria will only leave when arms are used make it to do so. Lebanon is propping up Assad and the Syrian economy. There is no way they can walk away from that. |

| #2 In Brussels, the European Parliament voted in a non-binding resolution to deem Hizbullah a terrorist group, Middle East Newsline reported. But the parliament rejected a motion to include Hizbullah on the EU’s list of terrorist organizations. As I thought yesterday-same stupid and appeasing treachery from our "allies", the Europeans. The dance of our times is the Euro foxtrot-name something and back away from it in the next step. One step forward, two steps back, off the edge of the cliff in your own backyard. I retract my thanks and fart in their general direction. Plan B? for President Bush? That would be changing course after changing course to get our "allies" on board? Those who want to be schnuckered,line up-the pitch is coming. President Bush stood up for the right thing in the beginning of this-when it was hardest and now we are backing away from what we did RIGHT. What use is this nonbinding resolution? European foreign policy is the boulder around our own throats. Get ready to be pitched overboard. Moved to the Hizbollah sector to "lower the Syrian profile"? hahaha |
