| Report: Syria Increases Arms Supply Rate to Hizbullah Providing it with Scud D Missiles |
| 2011-07-17 |
| [An Nahar] Syria has increased its rate of supplying Hizbullah with arms, including long-range missiles, which may lead to instability in the region, reported the British The Times newspaper on Friday. It reported western and Middle Eastern intelligence sources as saying that the party was also provided with eight Scud D missiles that carry a range of 700 kilometers. The instability in Syria has led to its speeding up of its weapons supply, they said. Meanwhile, ...back at the desert island, Bert was realizing to his horror that he'd had only one bottle for one message, and he'd forgotten to include a return address... a front man in the Syrian Embassy in London stated that it has no information on such a claim. He added however that Syria, with the help of Iranian and North Korean experts, is developing missiles in the area of Jabal al-Taqsis near the city of Hama. The Scud D missile, carrying a one-ton warhead, is very accurate in its target, said The Times. It was developed through Iranian funding and the assistance of North Korean scientists, it continued. A source close to Hizbullah revealed that since the start of the anti-regime protests in Syria, the party had been receiving so many weapons shipments from that it doesn't know where to store them. |

| #8 Did Ms. Rice turn off the CIWS systems on the Israeli ships too? That was to prevent an unfortunate incident with IAF aircraft operating within the same area. Which means there was likely no inter-arm cooperation: no op-areas established, no flight lanes or altitudes, no local air-control of aircraft by naval assets, etc. That, and the lowered level of preparation . Just because one has kicked Arab ass for nearly sixty years doesn't mean one will do it every time. Fate is a fickle b*tch. |

| #7 Looks like Lebanon, not IRAN, may be Israel's real target for mil attack come September??? Iff this report is true, the War Clock now approacheth closer to Midnite for Israel, as Iran has openly stated that any Israeli attack agz the duly "elected/legitimate" Hezbollah-domin Lebanon Govt will be deemed an attack agz Iran = Islam; + the Hezzies per se will only need covert $$$ from their Iran overlords to reverse engineer the SCUDS - in the worse case, Syruh will keep tranferring new batches of SCUDS to Hezbollah as politics permits. It also means that the hardline, anti-Israel Paleo Militant groups in Gaza-WB will get the still-deadly older or obsolete weapon systems that Hezbollah [Iraqi Shia Militias?]no longer needs or wants. |

| #6 Israel did not have decent leadership, military or civilian, during that war; from all appearances tthey marched north, got themselves bogged down in the bunker country on the border, did not have decent supplies to send their army farther because of apparent corruption problems, nor did they appear to have a coherent plan for prosecuting the war, but you think it's all the Bush Administration's fault? Did Ms. Rice turn off the CIWS systems on the Israeli ships too? |

| #5 Really, gr(o)m? Hizb'allah would be gone if you had taken over Lebanon? Just like the PLO and Hamas in, oh, let's say Gaza and the West Bank? |

| #4 Thing. (i) Hizbulla exists because Israel wasn't allowed to win 2006 war. Due, to miz Rice infliuence on George the Brainless. (ii) I wasn't cheering Assad, just commenting on what his dada would do: the difference should be obvious---to grownups. |

| #3 Miss Rice hasn't been in office for three years or so now, and over the last month you have been cheering on this pencilnecked asshole's consolidation of power. |
