Exclamation With Obama's approval, Turkey selling arms to Hezbullah-controlled Lebanese army

With Obama's approval, Turkey selling arms to Hezbullah-controlled Lebanese army



I can now confirm a report that first appeared in DEBKA last week that the Obama administration has approved a massive arms sale from Turkey to the Lebanese army. A Turkish web site is now reporting the same story. The Lebanese army is mostly Shiite Muslim and has collaborated with Hezbullah in the past. This would make it likely that any weapons sold to the Lebanese army could end up in Hezbullah's hands.

Moreover, elections are scheduled in Lebanon for June 7, and it is possible that Hezbullah could end up in official control of the country - including its army.

And, according to DEBKA, when Lebanese president Gen. Michel Suleiman (the one many of you don't recognize in the picture above) signed the arms deal in Ankara Tuesday, April 21 (the Turkish web site says the deal was signed on Thursday, April 23), he pledged publicly to place the Lebanese army at Hezbullah's disposal in any confrontation with Israel.

In December, I reported that the Lebanese army had asked both the US and Iran for weapons. I guess having Turkey make the sale is the Obama administration's way of not sharing a weapons customer with Iran.

What could go wrong?

Ever hear the phrase "Don't Mess With Texas"? Same/Same God's chosen people Israel. Zechariah chapters 12, 13, 14. Even so come quickly Lord Jesus.
