This is not insignificant, even though these sorts of Middle-Eastern announcements are typically over-hyped.

...But coming from the Druze, and knowing that the powerful Lebanese Christian Militia is at the ready, this could lead to quite a problem for Syria, especially with American airpower and special ops so close by.

If Syria insists on aiding and abetting the insurgency in Iraq, it is only fair, fitting and appropriate that we should return the favor.

This may well be the start of something. I wonder if we have a carrier posted in the Eastern Med. That would be the thing to watch, I suppose.

"knowing that the powerful Lebanese Christian Militia is at the ready"

Do the militias even still exist??

This is HUGE. It means the end of Syria in Lebanon, sooner not later (by this spring).

Druze + Christian = majority of Lebanon. And other Arab groups are on board too. The Lebanese are united against Syrian rule.

Amazing how this works.

The Syrians execute a massive homicide bombing.

GW condemns it.

Now this groups speaks out against Syria.
