The Syrian government is threatening to attack Lebanon if they don't control their territory better:
"Syria expects the Lebanese side to prevent these armed terrorist groups from using the borders as a crossing point, because they target Syrian people and are violating Syrian sovereignty," a diplomatic cable from the Syrian foreign ministry to its Lebanese counterpart said, Reuters reports.
According to state-run SANA, the Syrian foreign ministry said rebels have been inflicting violence in Syria, then fleeing across the border into Lebanon.
"Syrian forces have so far exercised restraint from striking at armed gangs inside Lebanese territory," the cable said.
It's almost like the Syrians have no idea what Hezbollah does as a state within a state in Lebanon, either against Israel or for Assad. Assad isn't outraged over Lebanon's failure to control Hezbollah, I bet.
And of course, we understand that it sucks when neighbors actively help terrorists.
Say what you will about Assad, but he retains his sense of humor.
