[did you know] syria has invaded the lebanon

One of the sharpest thinkers and most erudite bloggers, Cassandra, has drawn our attention to something I had absolutely no idea of [quite a common occurrence for me, by the way]:
A few days ago Lebanese daily newspaper Al Mustaqbal quietly reported a limited Syrian invasion of Lebanon. (Via Naharnet.)

Syrian troops on Thursday (5th July!) reportedly have penetrated three kilometers into Lebanese territories, taking up positions in the mountains near Yanta in east Lebanon's Bekaa Valley.

Inflicted on you by on

    Outside of the MSM this has been news for a few days.

    If it had been the other way, you'd have seen it on the Beeb.

    Some years ago, I was across from him in a railway carriage, heading from London. He gets my prize for the creepiest person I have ever seen.
