In recent weeks, Hezbollah has moved hundreds of missiles from storage sites in Syria to bases in eastern Lebanon, the French newspaper Le Figaro reported on Saturday.
According to the report, Hezbollah moved the missiles due to the concern that the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad will fall and that a new Syrian government will cut off ties with Hezbollah.
The report quoted a "Western expert" as saying that intelligence agencies have monitored the movement of trucks from the Syrian border to Lebanon's Bekaa Valley. The trucks contained long-range Iranian-produced Zilzal, Fajr 3 and Fajr 4 missiles.

I highly doubt Saddam would have sent his weapons to Syria, that was an excuse to save face and I cant believe you are still buying into that crap.
Saddam and the Syrian regime hated each other almost as much as Saddam hated the united states. Saddam was supplying weapons to the lebanese christian generals in the lebanese civil war so they take out the syrians who were backed by us.
People need to stop being so naive, war is big business, and all that is needed is an excuse to enter it, its been done before and it will be done again.. grow up.
note: im talking about the “wmds”, not those iranian missles discussed in this article, that of which i have no doubt.
There was a reported removal of Israeli military from the Arrow and Patriot sites protecting Israel some time ago. That may account for the move of Panetta to Defense Secretary. This is clearly a regime going for broke, and with no concern for law or future elections.
Obama may only be going through the motions of campaigning for a second term. He needs to consolidate his gains so that there can be no recovery, and no Israel. He will be a hero to the far left and Islamic Fundamentalists, who are clearly willing to suspend Sunni/Shia difference until after Israel is destroyed. Having Panetta sail through the Senate tells us that, as with Obama's eligibility, most public government activities are a charade. Those few who might disagree are keeping their heads down, perhaps realizing that there is no stopping what will happen over the next year, and at least those in Washington will have military protection and income for a while.
What I’ve noticed from most Israeli news sources (YNet, Haaretz, JPost....I don’t count Debka) is they sometimes lean so far left on opinion columns, you’d think it was written laying down. However, on matters of defense, they seem to take it fairly seriously, knowing the neighborhood and stakes.
Given Sarah's track record as someone who actually cleans out the filth, this will tend to make her first term somewhat...entertaining.
Particularly as she will likely have GOP majorities in both the House and Senate.
Cheers!
Wasnt Panetta confirmed 99-0 in the Senate?
Actually, it is the barrels (chambers) that are loaded; hammers are cocked.
Sadly this is mostly the same senate in which every senator but John McCain, confirmed in 2008, in Senate Resolution 511, Apr 30, that a natural born citizen must be born of two citizen parents, and refused to apply the their correct interpretation to Obama. Whether out of fear of civil unrest should any of them honor his oath of office, or fear of what their parties would do to their tenure, they are liars, every one of them except Congressman Nathan Deal of Georgia, who knew and did ask. Obama's response to Deal was to have the house ethics committee pour over his tax statements until they found something with which to threaten him with bankruptcy, a tool always available to a crooked justice department. Deal left; charges were dropped. He is now governor of Georgia. He never got an answer to his letter questioning Obama's eligibility, but he alone asked. He, and every congressman knew and know the truth but dare not speak it publically.
Even Jim DiMint won't admit to knowing the words of Chief Justice John Marshall, or Chief Justice Morrison Waite, or Chief Justice John Jay. Those selling a reputation for constitutional originalism are the worst, because their silence makes their reputations a lie. Rinos we expect to subscribe to the notion of a "living constitution."
From Senate Hearings on Senate Res 511 sponsored by Pat Leahy and Clair McCaskill:
My assumption and my understanding is that if you are born of American parents, you are naturally a natural-born American citizen, Chertoff replied. That is mine, too, said Leahy.
Between 2000 and 2008 there were eight or nine congressional bills submitted to amend Article II Section 1, including one by Orrin Hatch. Some of these were not motivated by making Obama eligible, such has Hatch’s, which was to make Schwarzenegger eligible; but some were, such as two or three by John Conyers, who was working to grease the skids for the man with a Kenyan father as early as 2004. Senate Res 511 along with its predecessor sponsored by Senators Obama and McCaskill SB 2678 was aimed at pretending there was resolution to McCain's ineligibility because then Republicans dared not raise the fact of Obama’s ineligibility, which is based upon precedent established in 1874 in Minor v. Happersett (it is eather common law or precedent; read Leo Donofrio's analysis and decide for yourself). Regardless, they all knew, and know the constitutional requirement and how it was defined by five chief justices and the originator of the `14th Amendment, and used in over a half dozen other supreme court cases - "born on the soil of citizen parents."
