Anne Barnard does it again: she makes things up

"the group has framed as both a proxy fight with Israel and an intervention to defend Lebanese and Syrian Shiites..."  I will donate a blender to Anne Barnard if she can find one--not two, just one--source in which a Hizbullah leader states that its intervention in Syria is to defend Lebanese and Syrian Shi`ites.  She really literally make things up: or most likely, she basically reproduces whatever she hears from her Syrian armed groups sources and from March 14 in Lebanon, without even verifying.  She is so ill-equipped for the role as Beirut bureau chief for the Times, that she sat with Lebanese politician, `Abdul-Rahim Murad, and identified him as an MP, not knowing that he has not been in parliament since 2005.
