One of my favorite websites to read, absolutely great story telling I must add:
DEBKAfile quotes senior Israeli military circles as staggered by the discovery that US president Barack Obama had approved a large Turkish arms sale to the Lebanese army, including the services of Turkish military instructors. This was taken as further proof that the US president is deaf to Israel’s immediate security concerns. Lebanese president Gen. Michel Suleiman has more than once threatened neighboring Israel. When he signed the arms deal in Ankara Tuesday, April 21, he once again pledged publicly to place the Lebanese army at the disposal of the Shiite terrorist Hizballah in any confrontation with Israel.
Really? Did I miss something? All that happened? These revelations never came up in The Daily Star article. I must have really dozed off this week.
That website would be hilarious if it weren’t so incredibly sad…
True. Though you have to admit it makes for great bedtime stories. The premise is always the same: Big Evil Lebanon is about to Destroy Poor Defenseless Israel.
Can you imagine the boxoffice records on that movie?
The DEBKAfiles is worth reading for entertainment value, but I hope you are not taking them too seriously. They are paranoid and continually chasing some conspiracy theory. Providing arms to the Lebanese Army can help them fight the Hezbollah, no? Isn’t that a good thing?
(Thanks for the comment on my blog by the way.)

I never take anything they say seriously. It’s just that their imagination seems to always be on overdrive and I’ve always considered myself to have a wild imagination but they seem to constantly outdo me.
