The Angry Arab News Service/وكالة أنباء العربي الغاضب : Now Hariri in the New York Times : on Hizbullah

  • Le New York Times ouvre (ben tiens !) ses colonnes aux élucubrations de l’éditeur de Now Lebanon sur le Hezbollah. C’est pas la peine de perdre ton temps avec ça. Mais en revanche, le commentaire d’Angry Arab, tu peux y aller, c’est très marrant.

    But there is some comic relief in the article: “It seems that the Lebanese Army has finally received political cover, mainly from President Michel Suleiman and Prime Minister Najib Mikati, to confront Hezbollah”. Wait. Wait. So even though the March 14 coalition in Lebanon, which has a real popular base in Lebanon (half of the Lebanese population support that coalition), failed in confronting Hizbullah, but now the two men with NO REAL POPULAR base have decided to confront Hizbullah? How funny is that? The supporters of Michel Sulayman in Lebanon can all fit in one falafil hut. Wait: but the writers have evidence and a solid example: “On Sunday, 18 armed men from a family with links to Hezbollah were arrested by the Lebanese Army. Two trucks and a warehouse full of weaponry were confiscated. This arrest is politically significant.” Let me update the story: all the armed men have been released. Kid you not. Now that is funny. So their only real evidence did not materialize either.
