As the White House and Congress consider a shifting of U.S. alliances in the war against ISIS, a prominent Lebanese analyst warns Washington against establishing a partnership with Iran, Syria, and Hezbollah, saying it would be a "very serious mistake."
Walid Phares, PhD., who briefed members of Congress this week, said instead pressure should be placed on Hezbollah to abide by terms of U.N. resolution 1701 requiring the group to disarm.
The resolution was approved by the world body follow ing Lebanon's 2006 war with Israel and it has yet to be honored by Hezbollah.
Phares reminds U.S. government leaders to remember the Iranian-backed acts of terror in Lebanon during the 1980s - including kidnappings, the bombing of U.S. institutions, and the killing of an American military officer.
Phares said more recently, Iranian and Hezbollah agents killed American and British personnel in Iraq, and also many civilians in Syria's civil war.

He said the U.S. government needs to be careful that funds sent to the Lebanese Army to combat ISIS do not end up in the hands of Hezbollah, an Islamic group on the U.S. State Department's list of terrorist organizations.

Mr. President, don't think just because you like your head ISIS will let you keep your head.
Phares also "warns that Christians--once a majority in Lebanon--could become an extremely small minority within the country if American policy does not change."
Now, it would be really easy to figure out what is going on behind the closed doors or our Iranian lead administration even without our enemies leaks by simply doing a population study. Christian town, bye-bye!

The enemy of my enemy is just another enemy. It is not a friend.
Does Israel have any allies?
Has Obama and his side kick Jarrett actually done anything right on foreign policy, ? The world is a mess because of those two and hardly a peep from the media yet again
0 thinks that iran and hezbollah are really just nice, downtrodden, ‘oppressed’ misunderstood people.
This is not a mistake. Former US Senator Barack Hussein Obama intentionally chose to ally with America’s enemies.

MESSAGE TO OBAMA ABOUT ISIS
Some of you may be familiar with the history of the beginning of Islam. If you can, please check in the Koran the references provided by Rashid.

I'm sure the President knows what he's doing. Sure, Iran and Hizbollah have both attacked us. But it's just a function of our colonial designs on the Mideast. It's not Islam. Besides, he's got Valerie Jarrett to run things. She's in contact with them, and is reported to be close to Ali Akbar Velayati. A former foreign minister and occasionally speculated on as a presidential candidate. Can't do much better than that. Sure, Valerie's pal has been indicted in Argentina for the murder of 85 people, but they were mostly Jews, can't hold that against him. We can trust him, and Iran, and Hizbollah.
