تقارير: المقدسي كان في بيروت قبل هروبه الى واشنطن بمساعدة الـCIA

Gracias, Christmas is almost over but the spirit remains. Happy holidays to you tambien.

Well said indeed

this also applies to bashar assad. There are minor disagreements with the US but strategicaly the americans were okay with him. Two months after the demonstrations broke out in dar3a Clinton described bashar as a 'reformer'. It took 7 months for obama to tell bashar he should step down (when it became clear to the americans that the revolution will only grow). When hafez died, US secretary of state madlene albright attended his funeral and had a meeting with bashar where she told him they wanted a 'smooth transition' (please review the official record). The only reason the US officialy abandoned assad (and their boy mubarak, and suharto of indonesia before them) is again because they simply switch sides and side with the winners. They will later try to iron the outcome to fit their policies.

here's our problem as Arabs, we never take responsibility for our actions!! we'd rather blame everything on the U.S and Kissinger( who has his plan published in a book for all to see and learn from). the fact is that we are power hungry. the middle east ( Arabs (Muslims and christian) and Persians have been at war for over a 1000 years well before the Zionist movement was formed! Muslims and Christians were always fighting for power around the holly land! the only reason why Syria had a christian pm was because it was french colony and the french wanted Christians in power in Lebanon and Syria! until we take responsibility for our actions and decisions, the middle east won't improve.

seems to me that Assad regime loves kissinger tactics especially divide and conquer! they use it all the time in Lebanon. they assassinate bashir which divided the christians. they assassinate hariri senior and if they can take out his son, no more powerfull sunni leader and thus division. lastly their propaganda is now making half of Lebanon denounce the residents of Tripoli as all Salafists when it is only a minority a couple of neighborhoods. if tripoli was all salafists then all the mp's from tripoli would have been salafists!!!

Jajajajajaja. You're a funny person Mowaten. Hope you enjoyed the Christmas cake ;)

you forget that up to now most Israeli spies in Lebanon were Hezbollah members. obviously cause they can get inside information! no loyalty no ideology. just pure mafia type greed!
