HEZBOLLAH .. HOUSE DIVIDED.. THE PRESSURE GROWS!!






I want to stay on the theme of Hezbollah becoming a House Divided tonight, but I will end with a follow on comment dealing with Iraq.

You know, there is an old saying, one I've used on many occasions, "where there is smoke, there is fire"!!!!

If rumors of "troubles" inside of Hezbollah took the shape of smoke, then the smoke gets thicker with each passing day.

Hezbollah leadership is trying, feebly in my opinion, to explain away their losses in areas other than Shia villages near the Lebanese border with Syria.

As one article I read today stated; as Israeli jets fly over Lebanon, Hezbollah fighters are dying in Syria for Assad and their Persian Master.

Hezbollah's leadership cannot "wish" this problem away and their inability to provide plausible explanations to their base is becoming  more and more worrisome not only to them, but to the Puppet Masters back in Tehran.

To reiterate.... Hezbollah has a dangerous problem and they know it!!

Can they become a "House Divided"???

Just look at the Palestinian movement / Hamas / Fatah and you will have your answer.


Ok, Iraq:

Last night I made an argument for Iran pulling the strings on the violence in Iraq and why they would support such an event.

For the sake of point / counterpoint / let me ask an even more dangerous question.

What if... I just love "What if" questions... but what if... Iran had nothing to do with the rapidly escalating events in Iraq?

What if the events in Iraq were  the next phase of the uncontrolled, uncoordinated, relentless Sunni revolt in the region?

What if the Arab Spring "Virus" .... yes I still refer to it as such, but I must admit, I am growing more and more fond of the "White Walkers" analogy, was the cause of the events in Iraq?

What would Iran think if they had just committed their last true proxy force, Hezbollah, to the battlefield in Syria and the counter was the Sunni assault initiated in Iraq?

Has Iran committed a fatal error in their strategic response to the Arab Spring?

If you can't see the logic in this last sentence, then you need to increase you understanding of what is taking place in the region.

Last night I talked of Iran possibly starting a backfire to prevent larger events such as Sunni success in Syria from taking place.

Could it be the fire in Iraq is the counter-strike set by the Sunni and the GCC???


Interesting to say the least:)
