Notwithstanding the danger, there are still those in Lebanon seeking to keep Syria out of their country.<br /><br />I should mention that I am deeply troubled by Obama's naive overtures to Assad, which have bolstered Assad's confidence, and by the alleged friendship that has arisen between Senator John Kerry, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Assad. As was reported in a Washington Post column by David Ignatius:<br /><br />"According to Syrian diplomatic sources, Kerry and Syrian President Bashar Assad have been developing a relationship of 'respect and friendship,' including a long private dinner between the two men and their wives at the Narenj restaurant in the old city of Damascus when Kerry was there in March."<br /><br />http://voices.washingtonpost.com/postpartisan/2009/06/_the_long-stalled_us_diplomati.htmlJeffrey Grossmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01847518948270295312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4067977173951690762.post-78397445750908930042010-08-21T08:19:41.107-07:002010-08-21T08:19:41.107-07:00Hi, Jeffrey

I could not imagine that Lebanese security forces can pull such an operation against Hezbollah! Are not they afraid? <br /><br />This discovery of circles of cell phones - it seems like a pretty interesting math here. I wonder if they developed and implemented this high-tech counter-intelligence approach themselves.Marina Sapirhttp://sapir.usnoreply@blogger.com
