Awesome: Hezbullah training Lebanese Armed Forces
A Kuwaiti newspaper reports that Hezbullah is training officers of the Lebanese Armed Forces to fight alongside it in the event of a war with Israel. Additionally, an entire battalion of the Lebanese Armed Forces is to operate within Hezbullah. Lebanese defense officials believe there is a secret pact between Hizbullah and top officers in the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF), the Kuwaiti paper Asiyassa reported on Monday.And you can bet what UNIFIL's reaction to the report was:
According to the account, a LAF battalion will operate within the framework of Hizbullah and have independence and access to the group's arsenal.
The paper said Israel gave the United States and European governments which have UNIFIL contingencies (France, Germany, Spain and Italy) information which proves Hizbullah was training dozens of LAF soldiers to prepare them to fight alongside Hizbullah guerrillas in case the IDF attacks Lebanon. Israel conveyed the information on July 1st, according to the report.
The LAF battalion in Hizbullah, according to Asiyassa, would include 150 troops and these would have access to areas south of the Litani River to where Hizbullah fighters are currently prohibited in the framework of UN Resolution 1701. Hizbullah reportedly trained the officers on the use of specific Iranian missiles with average- and long-distance ranges.
The Jerusalem Post could not confirm the Kuwaiti report.
Lebanon is Hezbullah and Hezbullah is Lebanon. The Lebanese Armed Forces are dominated by Shia Muslims who are more loyal to Hezbullah than they are to the elected Lebanese government (note at the top of this post that 'Lebanese defense officials believe that there is a secret pact' - they're not part of it).The next war with Hezbullah is likely not far off (Hezbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah predicted over the weekend that it will come by the summer of 2010). This time, maybe the political leadership will let the IDF finish Hezbullah off.

in the next battle with Hizbollah and Lebanon we must hit them with LOST, Napalm and Anthrax.
Hezbollah and the Lebanese Army are one and the same. Why are people still surprised there is no difference between them? Really, all assets in Lebanon are Hezbollah assets.
