Al-Arabiya TV is losing its marbles--more than usual. They invited this Egyptian "expert" (`Abdur-Rahim `Ali): he has been screaming and yelling all day, and warned the Lebanese people that US troops and Al-Qa`idah fighters are coming to Lebanon soon. He then started screaming that Sunni Syria is ruled "by the 10% `Alawites"). At that point, the host three times informed him that it was not about Syria that he was invited. He was told that his role is to focus his sectarian agitation on the Lebanese situation.
