I always get screwed up trying to line up the news cycle across time zones, but I'm pretty sure that State's asinine plan to arm Lebanon's army to the teeth was announced almost two full days before Nasrallah met with Hariri and symbolically affirmed Hezbollah's control over Lebanon:

Hizbullah chief Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah and Sunni leader Saad Hariri met for the first time in over two years, according to Hizbullah's al-Manar television station. A statement issued by both parties after the Sunday night meeting stated that "there was an affirmation of national unity and civil peace and the need to take all measures to prevent tension ... and to reinforce dialogue and to avoid strife regardless of political differences." The mutual statement described the meeting, part of which was aired on the Hizbullah TV station, as "honest and open, and added that the two men would be "in mutual contact."

It could've been only a day afterward, although that just kind of seems rude. And here I was really counting on the much-vaunted "marring" of Hezbollah's reputation in the Sunni community. Ditto for March 14's promise of bitter resistance to Hezbollah dominance. I guess a bunch of Iranian and Syrian-supplied weapons smuggled under the nose of a supine UN outweighs "marring," huh?

Speaking of which, Iran just announced - again - that of course they fund Sunni and Shiite terrorists throughout the Middle East. This is obviously a surprise to noone except Obama.
