Today’s Craziest, Most Shrill Political Statement

Is he talking about the same place I live in?

Arab Democratic Party political relations officer Refaat Ali Eid said that North Lebanon has become another Kandahar, adding that Salafi members from different nationalities have been moving to the North

I’ll tell you what this is. This is a deceit by a northern ally of Syria (a rare breed) who’s trying to create reasons for the Syrian troops to come back to Tripoli.

Tripoli and the north are strong supporters of the Future Movement and the pro-government forces, and should we get into a stage where Syrian services are required to separate the Sunnis from the Shias in Beirut and the south, the Syrians will need a good reason to spread to the North too. And nothing scares the west and Arabs like “Al-Quaeda”.

Cue in all those stories you keep hearing about RPGs and bombs going off in Tripoli and it all begins to make sense.
