Tripoli is right now being hammered Live coverage on Fox!!
It is not news that the State Department says the Lebanese government has asked the United States for additional military aid amid the fighting between its forces and Islamic militants near the northern port city of Tripoli. U.S. security aid to Lebanon has increased sharply in recent years. VOA's David Gollust reports from the State Department. http://www.voanews.com/english/2007-05-22-voa74.cfm
The other day I included that story in my post thinking in terms of Lebanon looking for more military hardware or hundreds of millions more in dollars to fight the battle against Fatah Al-Islam. A headline I saw on Fox that I could not find again really made me think again. It was titled " could the U.S. be pulled into the war in Lebanon" instead of finding that story I found the most disgusting grotesque report I ever read and I will not use it but I will put it in my tip jar. That crap really has to stop!
Anyway Knowing I for one absolutely expect Bush's created fiasco in Iraq and the middle east to spread throughout the entire middle east and Bush and Israel would do their share on their side of this still developing fiasco while Syria, Iran, and other so called Islamist interests would do theirs for their side, I was inclined to give serious thought to whether or not pulling the U.S. into this with Lebanon would be what triggers a total middle east war involving Iran.
I know we are squeezing Iran with The U.S. Navy staging its latest show of military force off the Iranian coastline on Wednesday, sending two aircraft carriers and landing ships packed with 17,000 U.S. Marines and sailors to carry out unannounced exercises in the Persian Gulf.
The carrier strike groups led by the USS John C. Stennis and USS Nimitz were joined by the amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard and its own strike group, which includes landing ships carrying members of the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit. http://www.abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=3203386
We are boxing Iran in and sooner or later they are going to revolt. I would say from them capturing Americans and calling them spy's trying to topple their Government that they are also putting pressure on us. At the same time I hear today! Breaking! Just this second I am hearing breaking news that CBS has leaked that the U.S. is taking covert action in Iran. That is not news to us but I don't know if a news station should be announcing that.
Anyway I also just found out that Senior US officials in Washington on Wednesday promised ongoing military support for secular Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas amid his power struggle with Islamist Hamas as part of an $84 million aid package largely aimed at improving the fighting ability of an elite corps of loyalists from his Fatah Party.
Israel, too, is making overtures to Mr. Abbas, reported the Israeli newspaper Haaretz on Wednesday, allowing light arms to flow to members of his Presidential Guard and saying that it would allow some of the US training of his forces to take place in the West Bank.
That policy puts the US and Israel on a highly unusual course in the history of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict: Four-square support for Fatah to contain, if not defeat, the growing power of Hamas, which won the Palestinian Authority's (PA) last election. http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/0525/p07s02-wome.html
With all that said and knowing we are accusing Syria of behind behind the killing of Hariri and the funding of Hamas and other so called Islamist interests throughout the middle east, could the U.S. be dragged into this via Israel or are we in it already. Is Lebanon and coming to Israel's aid in Palestine as they worsen relations with Palestine by capturing 33 Hamas Officials the way Bush is going to find his excuse to attack Iran and further what they think will be their new middle east order?
