Fresh clashes have reportedly erupted between supporters of rival political camps in Lebanon after a brief lull on Friday evening.
Fierce armed clashes broke out between supporters of the Lebanese government and the opposition in the neighborhoods of al-Jadida, Kornish al-Mazra and Cola Bridge.
Gunmen also attacked the residence of Omar Karami, the former Lebanese Prime Minister and a supporter of the opposition in the city of Tripoli.
The unrest has also spread to Sayda, 48 kilometers (30 miles) south of Beirut, as armed clashes broke out late on Friday.

This is actually a plan put in place and prepared for this day. Though, the red-line has not been crossed yet as the Hez refuses to declare that they are in control of Lebanon yet. They are still rusing all by saying we just want our phone lines back and we are letting the military control the city, not our Hezbollah terrorists.
We will see where it plays out this weekend. But, if they brushed dust off the game plan, the U.S. would take on controlling and disarming the Hezbollah and Israel would then be given the green light to take out Iran in a week or two once the Hez was controlled. Then, Syria could be forced to sit out the fight as they would be surrounded by U.S. troops and Israel on the south. Excellent time to act! |

Ok, now the tone gets a little more terse as hypothetically, the U.S. prepares to send several naval vessels containing marines towards the Lebanese coast.
"Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says Hizbullah, backed by Syria and Iran, is killing and injuring innocent civilians in Lebanon.
Rice says that Hizbullah is trying to protect its "state-within-a-state." Her statement was read at a State Department briefing Friday." |

violence spreading up towards Tripoli. that's not good. that's a sunni strong hold. If Lebanon can't protect that area from the Shiite Hezbollah group, then Lebanon is going down. |

Hezbollah gunmen seize large areas of Beirut
BEIRUT, Lebanon - Shiite Hezbollah gunmen seized control of key parts of Beirut from Sunnis loyal to the U.S.-backed government Friday, a dramatic show-of-force certain to strengthen the Iranian-allied group’s hand as it fights for dominance in Lebanon’s political deadlock.

Not a bad plan - but I think you could do it easier by taking out Syria first - then a "you're next" nod n' wink to the Iranian mullahs..

Unless the Lebanese Government calls for help, these troops would not come. Further, I canot say they are on 48 hour notice so much as they are within 48 hours for movement if called on. No doubt, they are on alert. |

Exclusive: Iran-backed Hizballah offensive closes in on Israeli border
May 10, 2008, 12:05 PM (GMT+02:00)
DEBKAfile’s military sources report: Hizballah’s advance on two key Lebanese locations Saturday, May 10 had immediate effect on the strategic balance between the Iran-backed Shiite group and Israel. Sidon in the south, Lebanon’s second largest city, which provides Hizballah with control of a continuous coastal strip from its southern Beirut district all the way to Tyre.
The second point is on the northern slopes of the Hermon range. After Hizballah seizes control of this enclave and the Syrian 10th and 14th armored divisions step over the border into Lebanon, the two forces can join to form a strong military line opposite Israel near the Litani River.
Our military sources report that the vanguard of the 10th Division has already moved across to the Lebanese side of the border.
Hizballah’s victory in taking over western and central Beirut therefore has had the effect of adding another link to the pro-Iranian chain encircling Israel. In many ways it is a more damaging setback for Israel’s national security than the Palestinian Hamas' seizure of the Gaza Strip
Yet Israel’s prime minister, defense minister and foreign minister are all too busy with the political fallout of the bribery case against Ehud Olmert to lift a finger to arrest Lebanon’s decline to a Tehran satellite before it is too late - any more than Hamas was stopped from developing into a major military menace.
Equally inert are the two presidents who are pledged to support the Siniora regime, George W. Bush and Nicolas Sarkozy. The United Nations, which maintains 15,000 armed peacekeepers in southern Lebanon, backed by marine forces off the shores of Beirut, has no thought of stopping the Iranian-Syrian-backed terrorist militia from capturing the country. |

U.S. prepares for Mideast peace without Olmert
Israel’s prime minister, Ehud Olmert, faces corruption allegations that may unseat him from office. But U.S. officials insist that Israel can continue its peace negotiations with the Palestinians — with or without Olmert.

Rumors that the Hezbollah are to fall back have been announced. There is a good chance they may fall-back from Beirut, but they have driven a line across Lebanon for which to prepare its offensive against Israel. They know too well that they need to save their men for the coming fight. Having bribed the Lebanese military, if is obvious that their intentions are to reserve strength for a much bigger war. |
