Anne Barnard gets excited in her propaganda mission and, unsurprisingly, lies

"Mr. Assad has called the rebels stooges of Israel and the United States, and Mr. Nasrallah, in his speech on Saturday, echoed that theme..."  In fact, unlike the Syrian regime which does not make distinctions between its opponents, Nasrallah went out of his way yesterday and specifically said that he does not categorize all opponents as stooges of Israel and that many of them have legitimate demands.  I know that Ms. Barnard does not know a word of Arabic, but you can ask your Arabic-speaking stringers--all of whom are March 14, I know.
