The New York Times<\/a> reports that Iran-backed Hezbollah, the Lebanese terrorists who have previously busied themselves with hit-and-run tactics against Israel, are now aiding Assad’s government forces in Syria;<\/p>\n

Recently, however, a spate of funerals in the Bekaa Valley for Hezbollah members \u2014 including a military commander \u2014 killed while performing \u201cjihad duties\u201d has provided firmer signs that the organization is sending men to fight in Syria.<\/p>\n

Free Syrian Army fighters in towns around the city of Qusayr, just across the border from Lebanon, say that Hezbollah is reinforcing government troops engaged in a hard-fought offensive in the area. Last week, the Free Syrian Army, saying that it had captured 13 Hezbollah fighters near Qusayr, threatened to strike Hezbollah strongholds in south Beirut. The rebels said the recent Hezbollah funerals were for men killed in Syria.<\/p>\n

Free Syrian Army rebels also say that Hezbollah has for several weeks been launching Katyusha and Grad rockets at Syrian targets from territory that it controls in the northeastern Bekaa Valley. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But, I guess we can still consider Iran a benevolent force in the region that battles for the rights o the individual. Or, more likely, we can guess that since they got away with putting down their own Green Revolution, they figure western powers will allow them to export their jack-booted thugs to murder revolutionaries every where. <\/p>\n

So, let me see if I have this straight. We have the Saudis and Qatar arming the al Qaeda-linked foreign jihadists in Syria and now the Iranians, through their Hezbollah proxies are helping the government. No, I don’t see anything that could end up being bad for anyone. Well, other than the Hezbollah folks are leaving Israel alone for the time being and that al Qaeda crowd who we’ve decimated in Afghanistan, says Bite-Me, is otherwise occupied for the time being. I wish them a lot of luck in killing each other in large numbers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
