Holy heart attack!

Robert Fisk blames the Syrians, not the Jooooooooooos Israelis:

Only this time, of course, we have Sunni Muslim fighters in the camp, in many cases shooting at Sunni Muslim soldiers who are standing in a Sunni Muslim village. It was a Lebanese colleague who seemed to put his finger on it all. "Syria is showing that Lebanon doesn't have to be Christians versus Muslims or Shia versus Sunnis," he said. "It can be Sunnis versus Sunnis. And the Lebanese army can't storm into Nahr el-Bared. That would be a step far greater than this government can take."

[...]

And yes, it is difficult not to feel Syria's hands these days. Fouad Siniora's government, surrounded in its little "green zone" in central Beirut, is being drained of power...

Update: It couldn't last. Back to the script. What a wanker tosser (h/t Crispytoast in the Comments):

The road to Jerusalem (via Lebanon)

It is too simple to claim that this is Syria's work...

...Interviewed earlier this year, another of Fatah al-Islam's leaders who called himself "Abu Mouayed", insisted that "we are not in contact with other Islamists... we are not at the point of recruiting fighters, but those who want to work with us and struggle against the Jews [Israelis] are welcome"...

Party on. Just don't bring any Moosehead or Crown Royal.
