Deadly firefights in a Palestinian camp in south Lebanon and a bus bombing in the capital opened new fronts for the army on Monday as it battles to crush an Al-Qaeda-inspired militia in a 16-day standoff in the north of the country.(

I pray the Lebanese Army can crush this latest eruption of the virus that is radical islam. Lebanon has gone from a jewel of the Middle East to a battlefield in one generation, and once again, islam is the cause. These people trash every place they go and turn it into a stinking hellhole fit only for their own rotten, filthy tribes. Everywhere they go, they rip the lid off of hell for all to see into its putrid maw, and I fail to see why anyone still thinks that negotiation, appeasement, and the promise of “peaceful coexistence” are viable approaches to dealing with them and their foul perversion of a religion.

It is not known whether the army is planning a ground assault on Nahr al-Bared. By longstanding convention, it does not enter Lebanon’s Palestinian refugee camps, leaving security inside to militant groups.

Gee, there’s the way to deal with it....
