More evidence of the involvement of state agents in the jihad. From Haaretz, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:
The Lebanese government publicly admitted recently, for the first time, that it had permitted the delivery of a convoy of arms from Syria to Hezbollah. The United Nations responded by issuing a condemnation.According to Lebanese sources, Lebanese soldiers halted a convoy of arms-laden trucks from Syria at an army checkpoint in the Lebanon Valley on January 31. However, the Lebanese Defense Ministry ordered the soldiers to allow the convoy to proceed.
A report on this incident then reached the UN's special envoy to the Middle East, Terje Larsen, in New York, and Larsen instructed his staff to investigate. Eventually, the Lebanese government admitted both that it had allowed the convoy to pass, and that the arms had been destined for Hezbollah.
The UN then published a statement condemning the Lebanese government for having blatantly violated UN Security Council Resolution 1559, which, inter alia, calls for disarming the country's militias.
The arms in the convoy originated apparently from Iran. It is not known how many trucks were in the convoy or what arms they carried.
Well I have to wonder who has these weapons now?
A stern condemnation from the UN is jolting the country.
wow l am sure the muslims are quaking in their boots at the UN condemation!! oh geeze pro the same way if Kerry were president or Algore!
It sounds like the weapons that Iraq moved to Syria while the U.N. stalled the U.S. has also made there way into the hands of Hezbollah.
I'm beginning to think we have a problem with Arabs in general... Despite all their accusations against us of anti-Arab bigotry -- the Arabs seem to treat non-Arabs with such contempt, that THEY are the ones who appear to be inveterate bigots.
In my personal experience, I have met many Arabs who can turn on quite a bit of charm -- but at the drop of a hat, the mention of Israel, or other hot button topics -- yellow fangs and bulging veined eyeballs emerge, like werewolves revealed. Their visceral hatreds are always lurking below the surface, simmering, roiling, ready to explode in rageful fulminations.
