Samir Al-Kuntar: Coordination Exists between Syria and Jihad Forces in Lebanon and Palestine
In a lecture at the University of Damascus, former Lebanese prisoner Samir Al-Kuntar stated that the Lebanese Resistance (i.e., Hizbullah) never had and never will spare any effort to help the Palestinian resistance, and that it was no secret that there was an ongoing coordination between Syria, the Palestinian jihad forces, and the Lebanese jihad forces.
He went on to warn that any foolish act against Lebanon on Israel’s part would bring a decisive victory to the Resistance, and expressed hope that this would happen in the near future.
He stressed that Syria and Hizbullah fighters were well prepared for the coming battle.

Syria building chemical weapons plant
And why not? Why shouldn’t the Assad regime be encouraged by the White House’s lifting of sanctions against Syria, and by all the other conciliatory signals coming out of Washington these days? It’s time to step up the jihad, boys!
“’Syria building chemical weapons plant,’” by Yaakov Katz for the Jerusalem Post, February 17 (thanks to all who sent this in):
Syria has been conducting extensive construction work on a chemical weapons facility in the country’s northwest, satellite images obtained by the defense analyst group Jane’s reveal....
Al-Safir is home to a chemical weapons production facility and a missile base that holds a significant part of Syria’s long-range Scud D ballistic missiles, according to foreign reports. The Scud D has a range of 700 kilometers and al-Safir is reported to have several dozen underground fortified bunkers where the launchers and the missiles are stored.

So the Affirmative Action Squirrel and his Teleprompter meet with the Chinless Wonder to talk HopeyChangey and solve the world’s problems.
Assad to Messiah: “I can haz Jewz?”
The List, ping
We shouldn’t fault Obama for occasionally wanting to take time away from his busy schedule to spend quality time with his friends and family.
We should remind ourselves of the many personal sacrifices he’s making for the American public and just give the guy some space.
“Obama considering meeting with Assad (Syria) in June”
Maybe Assad will keep him.
...or perhaps Assad to Messiah: “Thank you for your service, now all your Jewz are belong to us! Now come and see all my nice shiney new MIG 31s”
Probably wants to give them a billion or two as well.
The Kenyan wants to meet with Asshead for some hugs, kisses, exchanging of gifts and private reassurances that he is on their side.
