another American genius reporting about the Middle East

"Further, it explains why Washington-based friends of the Jewish state predictably (and correctly) helped persuade Congress to suspend military aid to Lebanon—whose national Army, allegedly responsible for the assassination last week of an Israeli colonel, appears to have been penetrated by Hizbullah." Somebody needs to tell this genius that the Shi`ites constitutes the single largest sect within the army so there is no need for penetration. Secondly, you don't need to "penetrate" the Lebanese Army in order to engender hostility to Israel. In fact, the officer in question who gave the orders to shoot at the Israelis is a Sunni officer (I will of course withhold his name).
