I have just listened to the BBC news about the events in Lebanon. I was baffled to see that it did not even pretend to report objectively about the events in Beirut. Basically, it was “open mike” for the supporters of Siniora, Hariri, Jumblatt and the rest of the CIA stooges. If that is how the BBC presents the events I can’t even begin to imagine what the “idiot box” in the USA spews out (nor do I really want to know).
The only good news I have seen so far is the reports that Saudi Arabia is telling Siniora to step down. Inshallah! But other than that all this disinformation and propaganda is beginning to look like some psyop preparation for an foreign intervention. The US-funded “Lebanese Army” clearly has no desire whatsoever to fight for the millionaires in power and even if it did Hezbollah could flatten them in 24 hours. So far is clear. In fact, even the BBC said that Hezbollah could simply kick out the Siniora regime almost instantly and nobody could stop it.
I wonder if Siniora and his “tea-drinking” goons will actually go as far as to officially request an Imperial intervention to “protect democracy”…
please keep posting on this topic.
of course, I will. but please also help me get good news sources to post. email me with any article, comments, news updates, etc. ok?

a map of the fighting/frontlines.
the army is on the green line, separating east and west beirut.
psp and FM HQ are surrounded.
and army is taking over from opposition positions.
but what is hezbollah’s political strategy right now?
Thanks for the map. Can you tell me who made it and when? How current is it?
As for Hezbollah’s strategy, I think that it is simple: it aims at:
1) preventing the USraelian stooges (Jumblatt, Hariri, Siniora & Co.) from destroying its fiber-optic network
2) disarming the Hariri’s militia
3) isolating and weakening the regime in power
Will they go at a complete take-over? So far the signs are that they are not, but that could change really fast in case of foreign intervention.
thanks for the answers.
the map is recent, from the blog:

I think Hizballah are far too clever to attempt a full-scale coup. They know that would turn public opinion against them, and possibly risk foreign intervention. Much better to take a ‘less is more’ attitude: be magnanimous in victory, while at the same time making it clear that if the need for a full coup were to arise, Hizballah would be more than able to rise to the challenge.
the US media is surprisingly quiet on this major development. the israeli media, too, is focused mainly on the new olmert scandal. i expected a bigger reaction, especially with larson yapping off at the UNSC yesterday. something must be coming down the pipe though, unless they were completely taken off guard.
I guess that the timing of all this sucks for the Empire. They probably though that they could get their stooges in Lebanon to chip off at Hezbollah’s infrastructure one step at a time and, just like in Gaza, they had no idea what was coming at them in response. The recent developments are not only important in terms of what chunk of Beirut Hezbollah could take over (effortlessly I would add), but by the fact that Harari’s thugs have been captured and disarmed and that the official “Lebanese Army” has clearly shown that it won’t fire a single bullet at Hezbollah.
Hariri, Jumblatt, Siniora, Karzai, Maliki, Abbas and the rest of them are equally pathetic and clueless it appears…
The BBC should have been neutral and unbiased and honest , and show BOTH sides of the story but unfortunately we have seen the western media and how it stands with the governments . Hezbollah fighters were NOT in Beirut those who reacted were supporters of Hezbollah , Amal , Slimane franjiyeh , Michel Aoun , tallal Arslane (druzze who supports Hezbollah) and they helped the Army take control of certain places which was ignored by the BBC
