Israel Matzav: Hezbullah = Lebanese army = Hezbullah

Hezbullah = Lebanese army = Hezbullah

The IDF is trying to convince the World that Hezbullah and the Lebanese army are one and the same (they are).

According to government sources, the position Israel is trying to impress on countries that support Lebanon is that the Lebanese army and Hizbullah are virtually indistinguishable. As such, Israel is calling on countries that provide military aid to Lebanon to rethink the matter.

In early December, the Lebanese parliament gave a vote of confidence to the government of Saad Hariri and approved a government platform that allowed Hizbullah to maintain its arms in defiance of UN Security Council resolutions.

From that time, which also included a declaration that Hizbullah had a mandate to defend Lebanon from Israel, "there has been a great deal of concern here," one official said.

The main concern, the official said, is weaponry being provided or pledged by the US. The issue is likely to be raised during the expected meetings here Tuesday with US National Security Advisor James Jones.

I've been arguing that for a long time....

In other news from Lebanon on Monday, Hezbullah the Lebanese army claims to have shot at Israeli reconnaissance jets over Marjayoun and Lebanese President Michel Suleiman visited the UN facilities and Lebanese army posts in the area of the Israeli border on Monday.

That second piece of news should be all you need to tell you that Hezbullah controls the Lebanese government. The border area is their stronghold, and they would never let Suleiman into it if they didn't feel that he's under their control.
