Sounds like a death wish to me.

I also love how the Syrians are now the bad guys now as well. These people don't even know who to trust on a daily basis.

Thanks Yassar! (I hope you like hell, because my visions of you burning in it give me strange comfort.)

I hope they force Syrian troops, and the Lebanese President and Prime Minister (both pro-Syria) out. But Syria isn't going to want to lose its puppet. I think they're going to do whatever is necessary to remain in Lebanon.

Now we will see if Mr Goss and the "new" CIA have what it takes to exploit a situation like this.

This will never work unless Israel or the US tell Damascus there is a big stick . The Assad regime is brutal but is the US or Israel willing to lend Air Power. This would give an opposition movement the only chance.
Will Jumblatt cross Hezbollah and what happens if the Palestinian camps turn into battle fields ?
Is Israel or the US prepared to stop Syrian Armored columns from entering the Bekaa valley. I doubt Sharon or Bush would stop this . It is the right thing to do but the backlash in Europe would be high.

Sounds like CIA has gotten smart and is turning our enemies on each other so they do not have time to create problems for us - next, increase funding to Iranian opposition.

eenders said that Syria could seek to stir trouble in Lebanon by provoking conflict, perhaps between the 300,000 Palestinian refugees who reside in Lebanon and the Lebanese state.

Refugees ? Wtf, I moved from Ohio because I do better out west, am I a refuge from Ohio ? The whole middle east is into twisted thinking, no wonder they are so messed up !

Uh oh, sounds like a bloody civil war to come in Lebanon. Shall US support the Lebanese with weapons to remove the Syrian force out of Lebanon?
