Lebanon On The Brink
Syria looks to be creating new troubles for Lebanon. Syria has called on its citizens to leave Lebanon ahead of an expected "eruption" in that country, Arab and Iranian press reports have said.It is well known (though not definitely proved) that Syria was behind the Hariri murder. I don't understand why a UN Security Council investigation scares Baby Assad so much. I wonder what other skeletons are hidden in the Syrian closet? H/T Michael Totten who also mentions this report from Al Mustaqbal Syrian troops on Thursday reportedly have penetrated three kilometers into Lebanese territories, taking up positions in the mountains near Yanta in east Lebanon's Bekaa Valley.No mention of this in your regular newspaper? Now what if Israel had done the same thing? The Bekaa is a strategic location for Syria. They make a lot of money by protecting the drug trade. You can learn more about it by listening to this Youtube bit.
Syria is removing checkpoints from the Golan. The London based Al-Hayat reported Saturday that Israel was "concerned" that Syria's decision to remove military checkpoints on the road to Kuneitra on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights could be a preparation for war.Cross Posted at Power and Control and at The Astute Bloggers posted by Simon on 07.09.07 at 06:54 AM |

What do you make of the odds in a new 6 Arab vs 1 Israel showdown? Dicounting intervention by the rather busy US Armed Forces. Where will the Palestinians run to this time? (Well, duh - guerillarized Lebanon refugee camps!)
Will we see new secret weapons deployed by Israel that will rack up the hits on Youtube? I've been reading Stephen Coonts, and can't wait to see the new post-Cold War toys that the kids next door got for Hanukkah.
