The Hezbollah Coup In Lebanon

Another article is up that showcases the coup going on in Lebanon where one of the world's most violent and deadly islamic terrorist groups is poised to take over a country - let me repeat that, we have a islamic terror group which will not govern a complete nation of people in this world.

Yes, I'm talking about Lebanon and I'm talking about the coup there that will see that the Iranian and Syrian backed (and led) terror group, Hezbollah, will hold the power.

From the article at Family Security Matters:

“The collapse of the [Saad] Hariri government is a result of Hizballah threatening members of parliament to shift to their side so that they could form a government headed by Mikati,” says Tom Harb, Sec. Gen. of the International Lebanese Committee for the Implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1559. “This is a direct threat to both Lebanon’s Cedars Revolution and the majority will of the Lebanese based on two elections in 2005 and 2009. The new government should be rejected by the U.S. government, and Mikati should have his assets frozen because of his cooperation with a terrorist organization like Hizballah. It doesn't matter if he is a billionaire, so is Bin Laden.”

The installation of Mikati as prime minister should be disturbing to Western military leaders. It certainly is to some of the clearer thinking U.S. policy makers.

U.S. Congresswoman Sue Myrick (R, N.C.), a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and founder of the Congressional Anti-Terrorism Caucus, sent a letter to Barack Obama, Tuesday, stating in part, "The situation in Lebanon, and the growing global power of Hizballah, should be a great cause of concern to Americans," adding, "We must not let Iran gain further influence in the Middle East." She appealed to the pres. to “show solidarity with the Lebanese People by rejecting any recognition of a Hizballah government.”

According to Harb, the installation of Mikati is not only a dark day for freedom and democracy in Lebanon, but it is a direct threat to U.S. national security as “Hizballah, which has already infiltrated the Lebanese army, will fully open the gates to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and Hizballah operatives and the IRGC will be granted even greater global access through Lebanese embassies worldwide and with terrorists being protected by diplomatic immunity.”

As you can see, the news is not bright for the U.S. and of course, even worse for Israel. I don't think I have to remind anyone that it was Hezbollah that murdered 241 American Marines, Navy and Army personnel back in 1983 when the bombed the Marines barracks in Beirut. So, we have 241 service members who have never been avenged, we have the U.S.'s closest ally in mortal jeopardy under this coup and we have America itself put in danger by all of this and yet we see ZERO action and ZERO outcry by the Obama administration.

At some point in time, America, you must wake up to the fact that we are lambs being led to slaughter by a President who cares more about fulfilling the "rights" of third world nations in this world than protecting his very own people.

Lebanon, Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Algeria and Iraq - we are seeing disastrous situations in every single one of those countries and we have a President of the United States of America concerned with suing on of his states over immigration laws, making sure that America's industry is penalized for not using solar shingles on their buildings and dictating what food Americans should be eating.

Yes, elections have consequences.

Terrorist Group Strengthened By Lebanon's New Prime Minister


Though soft-soaped in the media, the Lebanese parliament’s dubbing of pro-Hizballah billionaire Najib Mikati as Lebanon’s new prime minister has Lebanon’s pro-democracy movement aghast. It should be equally disturbing to anyone supporting freedom, democracy, and transparency in that country.

Let’s not forget, Hizballah – which former U.S. Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff said, “makes al Qaeda look like a minor league team” – is perhaps the most dangerous terrorist army (let’s not mince words here) on the planet. The group is heavily funded by Iran, and operationally supported by Iran and Syria. It has a capable military wing in Lebanon where it maintains huge stockpiles of military grade weapons – staged throughout the country which have never been adequately challenged (in violation of both United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1559 and 1701).

Hizballah has operational cells worldwide, including here in the U.S. It has a media / propaganda arm that is second to none. Its military wing is stronger – and frankly has more political leverage – than the Lebanese army and police (both of which have been heavily infiltrated by Hizballah). And if Hizballah doesn’t get what it wants from the so-called democratically elected government of Lebanon, the terrorist group and its allies have no qualms about attacking the Lebanese people as they did in May 2008. And they’ll attack with impunity.

Now with Mikati as prime minister, the terrorist group’s strengthening political leverage is essentially delivering that country’s military forces and intelligence services to the Iranians – not that Iran (with its billion-plus annual petrodollars funding Hizballah) didn’t already have a hand in Lebanese politics. But now Iran will have unfettered control of the Lebanese army and army policy.

How did we get to this?

“The collapse of the [Saad] Hariri government is a result of Hizballah threatening members of parliament to shift to their side so that they could form a government headed by Mikati,” says Tom Harb, Sec. Gen. of the International Lebanese Committee for the Implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1559. “This is a direct threat to both Lebanon’s Cedars Revolution and the majority will of the Lebanese based on two elections in 2005 and 2009. The new government should be rejected by the U.S. government, and Mikati should have his assets frozen because of his cooperation with a terrorist organization like Hizballah. It doesn't matter if he is a billionaire, so is Bin Laden.”

The installation of Mikati as prime minister should be disturbing to Western military leaders. It certainly is to some of the clearer thinking U.S. policy makers.

According to Harb, the installation of Mikati is not only a dark day for freedom and democracy in Lebanon, but it is a direct threat to U.S. national security as “Hizballah, which has already infiltrated the Lebanese army, will fully open the gates to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and Hizballah operatives and the IRGC will be granted even greater global access through Lebanese embassies worldwide and with terrorists being protected by diplomatic immunity.”
