Syria Forging U.S. Government Documents?
In their continuing effort to manipulate the politics of Lebanon, it looks like Syrian intelligence has stooped to creating counterfeit U.S. documents to incite anti-American sentiment prior to November’s elections. This just in from the New Kerala:
The people of the Akkar region in north Lebanon have been busy discussing the veracity of local news indicating that the US may be planning to build a military base in their area.
Worries increased after former pro-Syrian MP Nasser Kandil appeared on television Sunday revealing a document he claimed was issued by the Bureau of Dangerous Zones, which is affiliated to the US Department of Defence.
Kandil said the document announced the starting of “preparatory construction to set up a military base for NATO and US forces in the area of Qeliat” in northern Lebanon.
The Bureau of What???? What’s the website address for that?
Either Syrian intelligence has lost some…intelligence…in the recent past, or they’re getting so desparate to influence events in Lebanon they’re getting very sloppy. Something tells me this will be easier to debunk than documents related to the President’s National Guard service.
