The Jerusalem Post reported today a story which I think kind of misses the point:

A top Iranian envoy was in Syria on Thursday for talks on the Israeli-Hizbullah conflict in a meeting that brought together the guerrilla organization's two key sponsors, according to Iranian news reports. A Kuwaiti newspaper reported that Hizbullah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah was taking part in the session.

The article was entitled "Nasrallah is in Damascus." However, I think that such a headline belies the bigger point made in the article:

Kuwait's Al-Siyassah (sic) newspaper, known for its opposition to the Syrian regime, said the meeting was designed to discuss ways to maintain supplies to Hezbollah fighters with "Iranian arms flowing through Syrian territories."

Yediot Aharonot's report, in light of the above, takes on an even scarier light. An "exclusive" interview with a "senior Syrian journalist" gives a chilling insight into the current zeitgeist in Syria -- people are "on the eve of war". YNet's Ali Waked reports:

"The atmosphere in Syria is in every way an atmosphere of war, or at least of the eve of war. Syrian television for the first time since the '80's has started broadcasting Syrian military marches and nationalistic songs. There is not difference between Syrian television broadcasts and Al-Manar broadcasts of the Hizbullah. The broadcasts are in preparation for war, as if Syria is involved in this war, or is going to be involved at any moment. The local newspapers and the television are conducting themselves as if they are preparing the Syrian public for war."

These comments were made by a senior Syrian journalist in a telephone interview from Damascus.

This was after IranMania.com felt behooved to report the Iranian FM's statement that Nasrallah "was not at the Iranian Embassy in Beirut." If their intent was to make it clear that Iran was not involved in the current Lebanon conflict, they failed miserably by having Nasrallah come to a summit in Damascus to discuss Tehran's weapons shipments to Hezbollah.

It should be also noted that this summit occurred after Syrian FM Walid Al-Muallam was quoted -- in the Italian La Repubblica after having not been invited to the Rome summit -- as saying, "Hezbollah has an arsenal allowing it to fight for weeks, and the arms definitely do not go through Damascus.”

And while Egypt ruled out military intervention, Syria seems to keep reiterating its Sunday threat of "intervention" in the event of an Israeli ground offensive. (Israel's ground offensive has been going on for five days so far.)

Could Syria possibly be any MORE implicated?
