Between the dramatic phone message (and TV) was announced by HE the nation from Moscow, ITS''success''in the talks to give the Lebanese Air Force Hunters of modern Mig29, and the absurd stupidity of his allusions supported on Orthodoxy shared between HE and holy Russia, there was only a little effort of imagination to imagine how the hope that feeds her very pious excellence reinvest the impact of this event for its own account (or his wrinkly), in the next legislative ahead fierce Christian enclave in the Metn.
Far from being silly or frivolous, this kind of speech to a mass for uneducated and superficial that has always defined its policy choices based on their primary pulse is likely to be useful and paying .
For those who doubt this, just remember how the Lebanese capital dilapidèrent crime consists of a magnificent show of solidarity unprecedented National supported by a combination of more favorable international who graciously served them on a silver platter, the odious issue of unexpected Syrian yoke just as tired of war, they had come to resign himself as a fatality inexorable.
But with the first breath of the eternal recur-found freedom and incubus succubus familiar to the Lebanese, and they are again refluxed in nothing less than the depths of Hell where they would never have left. If
passions, rage, resentment, intolerance, fanatical frenzy, and all moods negatively affect the basic insight and trial in all things, what about the policy which the sagacity, foresight and calculation are cold and efficient law? Hence the severe myopia of Lebanese politics, coupled with severe hyperopia also makes them unable to evaluate the data generated by the outside world than those resulting from their internal problems.
adds to these woes total historical amnesia with an inability to draw any lesson from past mistakes, since the time when the Lebanese Christians (mostly Maronite) thought they could dominate their non-Christians by using the French coverage, and the response of Muslims (Sunnis) who allied themselves alternately in Syria, then with Nasser's Egypt in the same order, but finally such Grilled Chick in the mouth of Yasser Arafat.
Christians reacted by jumping into the lap of Israel (a suicide), and the Sunnis in strengthening their ties with Saudi Arabia, while Shiite and wove gently muted first son drivers with Iran Khomeini. ..
But this would have been that of the past if it had perpetuated until today, most virulent and despicable than ever.
The real causes of evil lies in the Lebanese a total absence of human values leading to a lack tragic man of value.
Otherwise how to explain the swagger of excellence that supports the children of God for wild ducks (O Michel Audiard) in Assen in the new Lebanese Staffing them armed with a toy too cumbersome and unnecessary?
Designed as a device of "air superiority" (to use here the terminology of the USAF), the Mig29 is a super-interceptor of the fourth generation, primarily defensive, with means to support tactical and limited ground attack was non-existent (depending on its different versions), and can not give full measure of its outstanding interception capabilities in close cooperation with a defense system modern and technologically advanced that it is the spearhead, and will land facilities, radar and communications satellites to the sophisticated military surveillance and early warning AWACS aircraft.
So what to do with the Lebanese army may not exceed the role of an ISP amplified gear also MAINTENANCE expensive and complicated, requiring minimal staff and facilities including the costs and expenses exceed the national defense budget, which correspond only very imperfectly to his tactical needs with no s' is sorely needed in Nahr el-Bared camp, especially when there are so many arsenals in Russia than in those of many other countries,''more modest''devices, but cut exactly to the measurements we need and which reads Both models just for the example:
This is compounded by the inexplicable absence American reaction to the slightest (and the amazing Israeli silence) about this approach, and the rumor suggesting that the invoice of the transaction up to about $: 300 million will be borne by our brothers Wahhabis (more weird!) while the''official''version that serves as its excellence requires that these devices will be available in our gift ''''by Russia, which according to my knowledge has no money to throw the window, especially these days ...
Would we face a new triangular process similar to that of Iran / Contra (1986), or a mafia plot with the usual premiums, commissions and bribes adjacent wine?
fact remains that if the mystery and ambiguity surrounding this case suitable for all conjecture, the interest of the Army (a fortiori of the nation) do not appear to have been taken into serious consideration.
Always according to the sources of its excellence, Russia (certainly magnanimous mood these days) would be favorable to his request to equip our army T90 battle tanks, which would have been an excellent thing if sources Presidential had not already revealed a few weeks before the agreement between our president and German Chancellor Angela Merkel for the staffing of our German army tank type''Leopard''!
At this time that Uncle Sam decided to turn his big foot in it to announce in a voice without reply as Lebanese army tanks will be provided by American M-60. !!!!!!
Let 'imbroglio politico-strategic nonsense that accompanies these contradictory to name only a few small details essential techniques:
If the T-90 Russian is a magnificent fighting machine and the German Leopard is not a much lesser extent, despite its membership of an earlier generation, the American M-60 is hardly an option of choice.
Israel had the bitter experience during the Yom Kippur War in 1973 when that char formed the bulk of his armored forces.
addition to birth defects''''consisting of excessive consumption of fuel and the relative imprecision of shooting, his behavior in combat revealed an engine subject to frequent breakdowns and inadequate shielding above the level of the turret, hence the nickname''coffin''tracked it was discerned by IDF tank crews.
the war ended, the Israelis who were still hundreds of this tank on the arm last overhaul from top to bottom to give them an operational level in the limit of acceptability.
differences between the impulses, confusion, amateurism, the tricks and scams, I fear that the rebuilding of our hoped-national armed forces is part of a very wrong foot. Meanwhile
''Letters Lebanon proposes''to those who are interested in the subject reviewed an article entitled " Lebanese army and the lessons of Nahr el-Bared ", published on this blog, dated August 11, 2007.
Since then, the views of Lebanon's''Letters''in this regard has not changed one iota.

Sitting on my stone bench, I meditated on the little corner of paradise populated by what Lebanon majority of quadrupeds unnecessary, and that history and circumstances between the three entities, two that have sworn to destroy, while the third who loves back relentlessly passionately lick his wounds with all the languor and tenderness, and indulgence of endless eternity.
