Lebanon is seperate from all this. Now I do believe that Syria should get the hell out of Lebanon but not all at once or at least not without a NATO or some other force moving in. Like it or not, the Syrians kept the various parties from butchering each other. True, one way they did this was to aim the more fanatical islamics at Israel. But between the Christian Latins, Shietes, Sunnies and some Kurds, that area is always ready to explode. The last time it was peaceful was when it was a 51% Christian state, before the PLO arrived.

Not if the Bekaa Valley was used to store WMD's moved out of Iraq with the cooperation of Syria, who has controlled Lebanon through a puppet government. It is not out of the realm of possibility that this occurred no matter how much the story has been questioned. My theory on intelligence info is that you will never get the straight scoop, especially from the CIA. They will lie to the public just to protect their intelligence gathering methods.

I think we should take this recent story with a huge grain of salt, but lets not dismiss it outright.
