With less support from its Syrian and Iranian patrons, Sunni groups are testing the waters for a new civil war in Lebanon, asserts Barry Rubin.

Zev do you ever actually read anything that isn't MB/Obama conspiracy fueled liquid bull****? Seriously?
This is from your article..
You think that is a serious news source? That's the kind of analysis you are proud to line up alongside?This means the Obama administration was using a barely disguised channel to pay for a revolutionary Islamist movement seeking to take over Syria. The fact that this group was also anti-American, anti-Semitic and genocidal toward Jews seems significant.
For ****s sake..Comment

What exactly is incorrect about this article? The MB is all of those things. The Obama Administration's support for the MB in Egypt and elsewhere is well-documented and a matter of open Administration policy in many instances.
If the Administration is openly supportive of a Syrian MB-led group--and it is--then why wouldn't it pressure client states like Libya to funnel money to it if it thought it necessary to do so?
That makes the Administration very foolish, but then again, who said fools can't be elected to power? You're the one reading conspiracy theories into his statement, not me.
If it makes you incredulous, then just consider this: Chamberlain promised peace in our time with the Nazis. Others deemed Stalin and Mussolini reasonable men that could be dealt with. Still more deemed them men to be emulated. Many foolish things have been done in the past, and will be done in the future.Last edited by Zevico; November 19, 2012, 07:52."You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well.

Also, kentonio, given that there are plenty of people of both parties who want to help out the Syrian rebels, including John McCain, if the administration isn't giving them back channel support I would be shocked.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

The point here is not whether or not the Syrian rebels are receiving support from the west. The point is rather that this ridiculous anti-Islam trash piece is focused on trying to convince its inane readership that the rebels are a bunch of evil Islamists who want to take over Syria so they can launch their inevitable attacks on Americans and Jews. Oh and of course the not so subtle tying of the Obama administration to this 'revolutionary Islamist movement' because let's not forget that he's a secret muslim sleeper agent.Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View Post

Barry Rubin, the neo-con who got everything wrong on Iraq. The guy is a right wing ass clown with a long history of failure and getting everything wrong. Not just that but he also has repeatedly been caught just outright lying.Originally posted by Zevico View PostTry http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

Dinner: he's actually responded to that, it's been brought up so many times. The writer you refer to is a different Barry Rubin. Same name, no relation.
Ken: you're reading your own fantasy article, not Barry's. And for the record, the MB disagrees with you:
"Resistance Is the Only Solution against the Zio-American Arrogance and Tyranny"
"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them.
