There is one explanation of why some Arab politicians who are counted as “moderates” (pro-U.S.) started to change positions. Hariri made it very clear in his indirect warning to the U.S. of “stop believing everything Israel says”, and Egyptian FM Abu Al-Gheit calling Israel “enemy” (and the recent Egypt’s letter to the U.S.). Kuwaiti Al-Rai gives us the reason behind Israel-Syria-Lebanon current Scud propaganda and the surprising Hariri position. According to the newspaper: Israel-U.S. goal is to pave the way for the preparation of a UN resolution to deploy troops on the Lebanon — the Syrian border. According to the same source, both Lebanon and Syria will reject this proposal. The above can explain Hariri’s new position supporting Hizballah “resistance” in …

The “round-table” rejection
Adding to my previous post about Al-Iraqiya’s rejection of the round-table talks. If anything agreed upon by both “State of Law” and “Al-Iraqiya” then the rejection of the “round-table”. Why this rejection, while both insist on a government with the participation of all political blocs, which the core of the “round-table”. When we talk about the round-table idea proposed by Ammar Al-Hakim the leader of the Supreme Council. This table, which can be established on the following rule: All parties who participated in the elections to sit at a round-table and those who managed to obtain 90 seats in the election will be equal to those who managed to obtain two or three seats, since the 90 seats bloc represents a …

Syria’s military plan to confront Israel
After the Israeli accusations of Syria transferred Scud missiles are ridiculed even by Israel’s closest Arab country ally Egypt saying these accusations are laughable, and even Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak started to play down these accusations saying that Israel assumes that Syria transferred these Scud missiles to Hizballah (funny: a week ago Israeli officials told the media that Syria began to train Hizballah how to operate the Scuds). Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Rai published today the Syrian military plan to confront any Israeli attack on both Lebanon and Syria: Israel, is not aware of the surprises of the Syrian military leadership because Syria says very little about its military power. Syria will divide the miliatry operations into two military fronts: A: the Lebanese front, …

The timing of the “secret prison” story
The existence of secret prisons is already reported on Al-Hayat and on this website: “Secret prison in South Baghdad run by the CIA” in September last year. Aljazeera released a video of an interview with some detainees Shortly after Maliki’s press conference in which he announced the assassination of the two Al-Qaeda leaders, Latimes published a story about a secret prison established by special forces work under the prime Minister’s command. The timing of the story is not coincidence, we don’t know who leaked the story, but it is politically motivated action meant to take Maliki back to earth after his (U.S. boosted) few hours of victory.
