NICOSIA [MENL] -- Syria was said to operate the Al Qaida network in Lebanon and directing the Islamic insurgency in that country. Syrian opposition sources said the regime of President Bashar Assad has developed the Al Qaida network in an effort to undermine Lebanon. The sources said the Al Qaida-aligned Fatah Al Islam, which has been battling the Lebanese Army over the last week, has been led by a former Syrian Air Force officer and contains numerous former Syrian officers. "The head of Fatah Al Islam, Shakir Absi, was in the Syrian Air Force before released from a Syrian jail and sent to Lebanon by the Syrian Military Intelligence," the Washington-based Reform Party of Syria said. RPS, echoing information provided by Lebanese security sources, said 1.800 Fatah Al Islam fighters were deployed in northern Lebanon. The organization said at least 600 of them, supplied by neighboring Syria, were fighting Lebanese troops.

Time for the US to break diplomatic relations with Syria, recognize some sort of provisional gov’t in exile, and blast the Asad family and regime into oblivion. Let the Iranians figure out what’s next.

Why is the US allowing this?

One of the best things Bush did was to state that countries harboring terrorists will be attacked.

Where is the attack on Syria?

This is a strategic blunder.
