Yesterday, NBN TV (the TV of the Shi`ite militia that launched the "war of the camps" in the 1980s) reported that the Lebanese Army "made additional progress" in Nahr Al-Barid camp. I have never known any army to make such progress...except the US Army in Tala`far. Yeah, whatever happened to the great success of Tala`far? I am sure the two Brooking scholars who take Pentagon-supervised tours of Iraq (lasting for a few days and covering one neighborhood) will be ready to declare Tala`far a great success.
