Where does Anne Barnard get this stuff from?

I mean this.  I read all speeches by Nasralllah and I ask: how does she make this stuff up? My theory is that because she becamse a Beirut correspondent with no knowledge of Middle East politics and no knowledge whatsoever of Arabic, she became totally dependent on her March 14 sources in Beirut.  It shows in every article. Look at this passage: "The Hezbollah leader had exhorted his followers to come to fight in Syria against what he portrayed as a jihadist-Israeli conspiracy to topple Mr. Assad and subvert Hezbollah’s ability to attack, or defend against, Israel."  In which speech did Nasrallah ever "exhort his followers" to come to fight to keep Asad in power?   This is not even his language or rhetoric as anyone who knows a little about Hizbullah would tell you.
