The pro-Hariri propaganda of Robert Fisk
I have offered to buy a golden watch to officiate over a retirement ceremony for Robert Fisk. Look at this lousy piece of his. 1) he claims that the border is murky between Lebanon and Palestine when the picture in the article shows the fence. 2) look how many times he uses "Iranian funded" in reference to Hizbullah but he does not say US-funded about the usurping entity; 3) he talks about the efforts of Sa`d Hariri and his phone calls but he does not tell readers that the man is on his yacht in Sardinia. 4) Notice how he spells the name of the latest Israeli spy as Milad Ein Forgetting that "Ein" is the reference to hte first letter of his last name when his full name was identified on TV here. 5) Is Abed, his driver, sleeping because Fisk is really out of it these days. I mean, between watching Rima Maktabi on CNN and reading Fisk in the Independent on Lebanon, I would rather consume large amounts of crack cocaine provided it is legal on some remote island, of course.
