Lebanon army vows to fight 'terror' "itself" after troops killed

 The announcement came as Lebanon’s new security plan came into effect on Sunday. The strategy is meant to minimize spillover violence from war torn Syria, which has increased turmoil in Lebanon’s north and east as clashes break out between those who support Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad and those against him.

 The army command "will continue to fight and pursue terrorists, and is determined to implement the security plan... whatever the sacrifices," the statement said. Saturday's attack was to avenge the death of Sami al-Atrash, wanted in connection with car bombings targeting Lebanon's Shiite militant group Hezbollah which has been fighting alongside Assad's forces.

Lebanon’s Sectarian Divisions Deepen as she is dragged deeper into Syrian war

Hariri warns Hezbollah against dragging Lebanon into 'sectarian holocaust'

 Lebanon’s Sectarian Divisions Deepen: Deadly al-Qaida suicide bombings and rocket attacks on border towns - all tied to the raging civil war in Syria - are deepening sectarian divisions in Lebanon.  Religious hardliners are benefiting.

Two weeks ago, the town of Hermel, a Shia Muslim community in the Bekaa Valley close to the Syrian border, was struck for the first time in its history by a suicide bomber. Lebanon’s militant Shia movement, Hezbollah, has become deeply involved in the Syrian civil war on the side of President Bashar al-Assad, an adherent of the Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shia Islam. 

Deadly Blast Hits Hezbollah Neighborhood in Beirut as Beirut increasingly dragged into Syrian war

  Deadly Blast Hits Hezbollah Neighborhood in Beirut:  The blast came six days after a car bomb killed a prominent member of the Future bloc, the Sunni party that is Hezbollah’s main political rival.

 And it came a day after reports surfaced of the arrest by Lebanese authorities of a Saudi militant who leads the Abdullah Azzam Brigades, a group affiliated with Al Qaeda that claimed responsibility for a November suicide bombing at the Iranian Embassy in Beirut. Iran is an ally of Hezbollah.

Areas in Beirut’s southern suburbs, where Hezbollah maintains its headquarters, have been hit twice in the past year with promises to hit at the heart of Hezbollah as long as they are doing Iran's dirty work and interfering in the syrian civil war that has been on going now for 3 years and only shows signs of going on forever.

Beirut increasingly dragged into Syrian war

  Hezbollah commander assassinated outside his Beirut home: Though suspicions typically turn to Hezbollah’s sworn enemy Israel, there has been increased tension in Lebanon between Shiite Hezbollah and Sunni extremist groups that oppose its role in the civil war in neighboring Syria,

where it has sent fighters to support President Bashar al-Assad. Targets linked to Hezbollah, which is backed by Iran, have been struck over the past year. The attacks have included bombings in Hezbollah’s stronghold in the southern suburbs of Beirut and at the Iranian Embassy.

Recently: Bombing that hit Iran embassy in Lebanon just the beginning

   Bombing hits Iran embassy in Lebanon: The attack followed two other bombings in Hezbollah bastions in Beirut this year, amid rising tensions over the conflict in Syria.

Iran is one of Syria's closest allies, and is the key sponsor of Hezbollah, a powerful Shiite movement that has dispatched thousands of fighters to bolster the regime in its efforts to crush the 32-month uprising.

 Syrian war between unsavoury sides: Abbott:  Mr Abbott says elements of the Syrian rebel forces are "highly influenced by al-Qaeda" but the Bashar al-Assad regime's use of chemical weapons against its own people is an "unspeakable abomination"

                                                                             

"We've got to be very careful dealing in a powder keg like the Middle East that we don't take action, well-intentioned action, which could end up making a bad situation worse."

Of course: 6,000 Al Nusra terrorists flooded new al Qaeda training ground to take on Hezbolla and the IRG 

 Syria is jihad central: 6,000 terrorists flood new al Qaeda training ground: housands of foreign terrorists traveled to Syria over the past several months to wage jihad, or holy war, in what U.S. officials say is fast becoming a new international terror training ground. 

 

 Most of the foreign terrorists are fighting for the al Qaeda-linked group the al-Nusra Front and are coming from around the world, mainly from Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Libya, and Tunisia, by crossing the Syrian border with Turkey. The al-Nusra Front is the most well organized and ideologically motivated armed opposition group after the secular Free Syrian Army.

Islamists on both sides in Syria taking the lead in the fight for new middle east disorder.

*Behind the Lines: Hezbollah turns eastwards: The Sunni rebels now apparently feel strong enough to take the fight back across the border, hitting at Hezbollah’s heartland. The rocket fire was accompanied by a statement by the Syrian National Coalition. The Western, Turkish and Gulf-supported coalition regards itself as the political leadership of the rebel side in the war; the Arab League and a number of Western states recognize it as the legitimate leadership of Syria.

Syria opposition hits Hezbollah heartland warning they will attack them if they do not stop interfering in Syria:

The statement included a confirmation of rebel responsibility for the rocket attack and noted that the attack came in response to weeks of Hezbollah assaults on villages across the border. The statement included a demand that the Lebanese government “exert control over its borders and put an immediate stop to Hezbollah’s military operations on Syrian territory.”

Hezbollah will not stop and will not be cowed. In many instances they have even taken the lead in trying to turn around the successes of the rebels. Islamists on both sides of which Al Nusra on one side and Hezbollah on the other, will and are holding a leading role in the fighting.

Those involved will get this total middle east breakdown to the next level.

As a whole the so called civilized Nations of the world are bound and determined to start another world war they all mistakenly think they will win. Russia China, Iran, they are all responsible for creating this civil war.

From the beginning of the chaos in Syria we have been saying that Iran more specifically the IRG (Iran Revolutionary Guard) was in Syria helping if not leading the way in trying to quell the uprising along with Hezbollah.

You know Bashar's best friend Iran is dictating that this slaughter is a necessity though Syria knows how to brutalize its people all to well. Iran will not allow a Democracy at her doorstep further isolating her.

'Iran building militias in Syria in case Assad falls': The Post quoted a senior Obama administration official as saying that Iran was backing as many as 50,000 militiamen. “The immediate intention seems to be to support the Syrian regime. But it’s important for Iran to have a force in Syria that is reliable and can be counted on,” the official stated.

Now that we know how involved Russia, Iran and Hezbollah are in the slaughtering that is going on around the country that is beginning to look like the beginning of their fight not nearing the end.You have to be very concerned about what is happening in Syria especially.  

Russia, China, Hezbollah, and Iran are not going to allow Syria to fall to Democracy. What we saw after the voter fraud in Iran was mild compared to what the IRG will do if this movement spreads to Iran. I really wish Bashar would step down but Iran is the elephant in the room any way you look at it. The total middle east breakdown we have written about numerous times is well under way. We can only hope we keep it from erupting into WW3.

By attacking and defeating Iraq we freed Iran up to pursue her version of new middle East order by interfering wherever she could while Bush was doing the same thing with his Middle East Democratization program. I think you can see how successful Bush and Cheney were with chaos creating Middle East Democracy program but you are barely seeing the results they created in Iran.

The goal absolutely is to be the country who decides which direction the new Middle East (dis)order will take. Bush started it by attacking Iraq to get into the middle east to destabilize it and start the new middle east order the idiot said God told him to do now it will be up to Iran and Saudi Arabia at least up front to fight it out whether this goes the Iranian Shiite way or the Saudi Arabian Sunni way and do not forget Israel!
