Michael J. Totten: Syria Invades Lebanon

Why is this being ignored in the media and diplomatic circles? If Israel had invaded like this, the UN would have declared war on them! Why is Syria allowed to do almost anything it wants?

Michael J. Totten: Syria Invades Lebanon: "A few days ago Lebanese daily newspaper Al Mustaqbal quietly reported a limited Syrian invasion of Lebanon. (Via Naharnet.)

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

The daily Al Mustaqbal, citing sources who confirmed the cross-border penetration, did not say when the procedure in the Fahs Hill overlooking Deir al-Ashaer in the Rashaya province took place.
The sources said Syrian troops, backed by bulldozers, were fortifying positions 'in more than one area' along the Lebanese border, erecting earth mounds and digging 'hundreds' of trenches and individual bunkers."
