Is it just me, or do we usually not see news of this type here in the US? We need to see lots more of it! I grow so tired of the lefty spin machine's version of the news. Thanks for sharing, Tex!
We need to send a message to Damascus by immediately moving to increase the size of our military to make it clear that there will be strength to take out Syria's regime quite apart from what is occurring on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan.
That sounds like something out of a Monty Python skit.
There are now twice as many Muslims in Lebanon, as Maronite Christians. And 55% of the total population is Muslim. Looks pretty grim for the Infidels in Lebanon. - tom
Too bad more morons showed up for the Hezzy rally, starring the fat diaper head pig, Nazrallah!
Haha, good luck you poor schmucks, its gonna be a while before u can have freedom and democracy.... lets say 200 years?
Lebanon can't do a darned thing about Syria.
NEWS FLASH: Guess what, Lebanonians? Protests don't accomplish didly, except give the newspapers something to write about. You actually have to go over to Syria and FIGHT THEM!
"The second independence uprising was launched today for change and it will not stop," Gemayel's father, former President Amin Gemayel, told the crowd in downtown Beirut, speaking from behind a panel of bulletproof glass. "I pledge to you that we will soon take steps so that your efforts will not go in vain."The time for that was when Israel was fighting the Hizzies. It's now officially too late. Enjoy living under the mullahcracy.
Lebanon could have some good allies- IF they'd only recognize Israel's right to exist as well as respect them- Syria is going to crush lebanon & there is nothing they can do about it as Iran will be helping Syria for sure. Lebanon wants to play the game? Then they can suffer the conseqyences! http://sacredscoop.com
