Episode by episode, assassination by assassination, threat by threat, scare by scare, and demonstration by demonstration, the Hizballah is being used by Iran and Syria to break the will of the majority party in Parliament, as well as the will of the Sunni and Christian majority of the Lebanese people. It is succeeding, and it is just a question of time until the pro-Syrian political parties control the Lebanese government and the Lebanese army.
The current pro-U.S. backed majority party in the Lebanese Parliament is like a frog placed slowly in a pan of cool water over a small flame on a stove’s top burner. T he frog slowly loses his existence over a period of time as
he is eventually cooked in place.
I will be amazed if the present pro-U.S. government is in ex
istence by 2011.
Lebanon will be one of the 10 Pro-Islamic countries that are likely to attack Israel at some point in time between 2010 and 2015.
Begin First DEBKAfile Excerpt
Exclusive: Lebanese PM opens door to surrender. Army grants two key Hizballah demands
May 10, 2008, 11:23 PM (GMT+02:00)
After four days of fierce fighting in which at least 37 people died, the Lebanese army revoked two government measures in obedience to Hizballah demands: the Shiite group’s independent telecommunication network will not be shut down and the pro-Hizballah Brig. Gen Wafiq Shqeir would keep his job as Beirut international airport head of security.
In a broadcast speech, Saturday, May 10, the pro-Western prime minister Fouad Siniora asked the army to defuse the crisis after Hizballah seized control of western Beirut, besieged the government center and attacked pro-government Sunni centers across Lebanon. Government loyalists found no support from Sinora’s powerful backers, the United States, France or even Saudi Arabia and Egypt. The pro-Western government was therefore forced to back down.
This means its acceptance of Hizballah’s communication system in central, southern and eastern Lebanon and its direct link to Syrian and Iranian command centers in Damascus; and the Shiite group’s Beirut headquarters online communications link to its Revolutionary Guards bosses in Tehran.
DEBKAfile’s military sources report: Triumphant, the Hizballah chief Hassan Hasrallah will be a more dangerous enemy than ever. The army rather than the government laid down the condition that Hizballah withdraw from the Sunni districts of Beirut and the rest of the country and remove its armed men from the streets.
Even so, a government minister remarked that the deal awaits approval by Hizballah leaders and the Iranian ambassador in Beirut. It is far from certain that the Shiite terrorists will give up the territory they gained in the last four days.
Also in question are the roadblocks on highways and the shutdown of Beirut air and sea ports.
Begin Second DEBKAfile Excerpt
Exclusive: Iran-backed Hizballah offensive closes in on Israeli border
May 10, 2008, 12:05 PM (GMT+02:00)
DEBKAfile’s military sources report: Hizballah’s advance on two key Lebanese locations Saturday, May 10 had immediate effect on the strategic balance between
the Iran-backed Shiite group and Israel. Sidon in the south, Lebanon’s second largest city, which provides Hizballah with control of a continuous coastal strip from its southern Beirut district all the way to Tyre.
The second point is on the northern slopes of the Hermon range.
After Hizballah seizes control of this enclave and the Syrian 10th and 14th armored divisions step over the border into Lebanon, the two forces can join to form a strong military line opposite Israel near the Litani River.
Our military sources report that the vanguard of
the 10th Division has already moved across to the Lebanese side of the border.
Hizballah’s victory in taking over western and central Beirut therefore has had the effect of adding another link to the pro-Iranian chain encircling Israel. In many ways it is a more damaging setback for Israel’s national security than the Palestinian Hamas’ seizure of the Gaza Strip
Yet Israel’s prime minister, defense minister and foreign minister are all too busy with the political fallout of the bribery case against Ehud Olmert to lift a finger to arrest Lebanon’s decline to a Tehran satellite before it is too late – any more than Hamas was stopped from developing into a major military menace.
Equally inert are the two presidents who are pledged to support the Siniora regime, George W. Bush and Nicolas Sarkozy.
The United Nations, which maintains 15,000 armed peacekeepers in southern Lebanon, backed by marine forces off the shores of Beirut, has no thought of stopping the Iranian-Syrian-backed terrorist militia from capturing the country.
