Ammunition To Lebanon

In a story of another fight against militant terrorists the army of Lebanon continues to fight heavily armed Islamists of the Fatah al-Islam group in Beirut. The United States sent three United States Air Force cargo planes full of ammunition to assist them in there fight. The story can be read in its’ entirety by following the link.
The militants said that there was nerve gas and cluster bombs amongst the cargo and that they would fight back with unconventional weapons if they were attacked with the unconventional weapons. There was no comment from our American spokesman as he said the accusations were groundless.
The militants continue to hide in the Nahr al-Bared Palestinian refugee camp and according to a 1969 Arab agreement the Lebanese army is banned from entering the refugee camp. So these cowards hide behind women and children and bring destruction upon these refugees who have already been through so much suffering.
This is just another example of the destruction that al-Qaeda and fellow terrorists have in store for the whole world. Here they are fighting their Islamic brothers and they do not care that they are destroying their “brothers” homes and lives by their refusal to leave the refugee camp.
The Lebanese leadership says that the Fatah al-Islam group is being directed by the Syrian intelligence agency, so perhaps Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi can call her new buddies in the Syrian government and tell them to back off and leave the refugee camp. After all she did take a trip to Damascus and believes it is alright to talk to a leaders of a nation such as Syria, which actively supports terrorists and kills political rivals at will.
A special note to all “peace” activists that in addition to ammunition coming from the United States, there were Arab allies that also sent ammunition and supplies to Lebanon on this trip and have offered further assistance as needed. So we are not trying to get entangled in another Mideast country, at least not with troops on the ground.
The last time our troops were in Beirut many of them were killed. On October 23, 1983, a truck bomb drove into a Marine barracks and killed 241 marines, sailors, and soldiers. It was the worst terrorist attack on Americans until September 11th, and shortly thereafter we left Lebanon. So staying out of Lebanon is probably a pretty good idea seeing as how this poor nation has seen violence and destruction for a long time and our troops would become a focal point for violence.
Lebanon is just another in a long line of nations that must face Islamic extremists who will not be satisfied until only their particular vision of the world is all that is left.
Hopefully mediators will convince these terrorists to leave the refugee camp, but if they cannot, the Lebanese army should be allowed to enter the camp and end their occupation of the camp.
