الجيش يستكمل انتشاره في كل أحياء التبانة وجبل ومحسن وشارع سوريا...الأيوبي: لا رحمة مع أحد

This is so funny!First of all the politicians decide to pull off the gangsters from the street; then the army deploys...Such a joke!

I recommend u read, The Brookings Institute Report from 2009, "Which Path to Persia, as well as 2007 New Yorker article titled, "The Redirection: Is the Administration's new policy benefiting our enemies in the war on terrorism?" Written by renowned journalist Seymour Hersh, it covers everything from admissions that the US, Saudis, and Israelis are working together, despite the Saudis and their Sunni proxies' attempts to portray themselves as "anti-Israeli," to admissions that the US is funding a region-wide network of militants and terrorists, many of whom have literally trained at Al Qaeda camps. The article also describes in great detail the role of the Hariri faction in Lebanon, working closely with the Saudis and Americans, and their role in creating a safe haven for terrorist organizations on Lebanese soil, now involved fully in destabilizing neighboring Syria.

STUPID Bab el Tebbaneh and Jabal Mohsen. killing each others for syria. LACHOU?. Syrians watched our country being raped by their army and intelligence for 20 yrs without doing a thing. I wish them to solve their problems and stop their civil war. But these are THEIR problems. not ours. OUR PROBLEM IS TO START DRILLING FOR GAS before Israel empties our adjoining gas fields, STUPID MILICIAS.

Lebanese Bebe or baby you should read about Iran & syra and the Ba'athist who believe in greater syria

God protect the army!

Bless these Lebanese National Soldiers for their bravery!!

FT,
if the army does what it should have done years ago, take over the weapons in jabal mohsen, then god be with the army.
otherwise the army woll be the one pushing for civil war.

Of course the LAF restored order. The LAF and ISF have the ability to handle any security problem faced by Lebanon, whether domestic or foreign. What is necessary is the political decision and that is in the hand of Hezbollah.
Nasrallah has misstepped and almost set off sectarian warfare in Lebanon, against orders from Tehran. It is not in Hezbollah's interest to get itself involved in a Sunni-Alawi/Shia sectarian conflict in Tripoli. It weakens Mikati, weakens the government and the State at a time when Hezbollah is about to be set adrift and it needs the Lebanese state as its lifeboat. The LAF went to Tripoli not because of Mikati's decision, but because of Khomenie's decision. Let us not fool ourselves.

This proves that there are limits on Hezbollah's ability to come to the aid of Assad as Assad goes down. The limit is that Nasrallah could take Lebanon to hell with the Assad Regime and this does not serve Iran's national interest, so this is the red line.
However, no Lebanese should rest easy with the political decision in Lebanon resting in Persian hands. When Iranian national interests call for Lebanon to burn, then it will burn and Nasrallah will set the match.

Lebanon must take the political decision-making back into its own hands so that we can live as a sovereign state by right, not by the permission of foreigners.

Why did your army wait this long to deploy? They should have been there from the first hours... This inaction demonstrates that the current governement is reactive, not proactive. I wouldn't be surprised if they are secretely hoping that things will worsen so Lebanon's crisis can be tied to Syria's fate (and its regime) making it harder to topple to dictatorship in Damascus.

Deploying the army in the midst of armed gangs is not a final solution. It will work as temporary deterrent, but the real solution is disarming both sides and then do the same throughout Lebanon. Otherwise the soldiers are just sitting ducks to be hunted at will when called for.
