"Lebanon seeks emergency U.S. military aid to counter Al Qaida operation in North". Now read this headline and think. First, the Lebanese Hariri government is still insisting that Fath-Al-Islam is a Syrian tool, not al-Qa`idah. So which is which? Secondly, the Lebanese government is also claiming that the Fath-Al-Islam has no more than 200 members maximum. So you need $280 million in US military assistance for battling 200 members of Fath-Al-Islam? How much is that per person?
