An update on the shituation brewing in the Middle East...
As I briefly mentioned in a below post, a Hezbollah mastermind was killed in a carbombing in relatively secure Syria. No one has taken responsibility and Syria is still shocked that this could happen. They want to know how their security was breeched and how one of the most wanted terrorists in the world, whom they were harboring, got blown into pieces.
Well, this happened in 2004 to a senior Jihad Islami operative in Syria. Pretty much everyone thinks that Israel was behind it. And today, the Hezbollah terrorist was buried. Interestingly his funeral was on the same day as the three year commemoration of the assassination of Lebanese PM Rafik Hariri. An assassination widely believed to have been ordered and carried out by Syria. So, there were two memorials on the same day attended by groups who hate each other.
Oh, and the best part....Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah declared "open war" on Israel. He's declared that the forces of jihad will defeat them and that if they want war, than thats what they get. You know. The usual.
Israel is said to have put its defense forces on full alert and rushed reinforcements to its northern border with Lebanon.

***Ok, a little update. It is important to note that there are rumors of involvement by American Intelligence. They are only rumors, but god I hope they're true
