#8 Let the Car Bombs begin:

purp has the look and feel of Syria..

Senior Lebanese intelligence officer assassinated

Police chief Ashraf Rifi identified the dead officer as Captain Wisam Eid, whose vehicle was caught in the blast as he was on his way to work. A bodyguard was also killed.

Eid worked for an intelligence unit which is widely viewed as close to anti-Syrian ruling coalition leader Saad al-Hariri.

"Eid had a role in all the files linked to terrorist bombings," the police chief told reporters at the scene.

Eid took up his post after his predecessor Samir Shehadeh was wounded by a roadside bomb south of Beirut in 2006.

The police intelligence unit has been closely involved in the U.N.-led investigation into the 2005 assassination of Hariri's father, former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri, and in a crackdown on al Qaeda-inspired militants. more at link

#9 Note to US State Department.

This is how you deal with terrorists.
You do not negotiate with them.
You do not grant them legitimacy.
You do not give them money.

#10 Too bad that "huge explosion" wasn't thermonuclear, and took out pencilneck and the rest of the Syrian Baath heierarchy, plus whatever other Hizzyfits might have been hiding there. Collateral damage would have been pretty high, but it might have been worth it.

#12 The fact it's a car bomb is significant. The car bomb and roadside bomb are Iran and Syria's preferred method of attacking their opponents. Whoever set the bomb has sent the message we are going to retaliate in kind.
