We have a very serious situation if this news is in fact accurate. It does appear according the Middle East news services that there is an attempt by Iran and Syria to re-take control over Lebanon. Only this time with Hezbullah as the beneficiary. 

DEBKAfile Special Report:

"The presidents of Iran and Syria agreed in Tehran Saturday, Oct. 2, to support a Hizballah military takeover of Lebanon's power centers, including the capital Beirut, right after Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ends his controversial two-day visit to the country on October 13-14.

Ahmadinejad and Assad also decided to continue to harass Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri by de-legitimization of his government, intimidation and humiliation to force him to dissolve the Special Tribunal for Lebanon-STL which has brought charges against Hizballlah officials for the murder of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri in 2005.

If this campaign disables the Hariri government, so much they better, because then Hizballah will be able to walk in and set up a transitional administration together with it allies, the Druze leader Walid Jumblatt and the Christian ex-general Michel Aoun. This administration will rule the regions dominated by Hizballah gunmen and proclaim its legality as a viable alternative to the failed Hariri government.

As part of this Iranian-Syrian-Hizballah master plan, President Assad Sunday, Oct. 3 released a list - referred to the former Lebanese head of internal security Maj. Gen. Jamil Sayyed - of 33 international and Lebanese individuals against whom the Syrian prosecutor general had issued arrest warrants on charges of false testimony and perjury in the UN probe of the Hariri murder.

debkafile reports that this defiance of an internationally recognized UN court is unprecedented and tantamount to a declaration of war on Lebanon."

 This appears to be just the beginning of some serious political and social upheaval in the region that could be the instigation of a regional if not global war.
