David Schenker vs. two other people on the Syria raid. Somewhere in the second half, Schenker, a serious neocon type, manages to assert that Syria is behind the activities of ‘Fatah al-Islam’, not that this is at all relevant, but in March 2007 Seymour Hersh, investigative reporter for New Yorker magazine, suggested that the Lebanese government was giving support to Fatah al-Islam, in order to defeat Hezbollah. Independently, Dr. Franklin Lamb, a researcher at the American University of Beirut, a Hezbollah expert and the author of “Hezbollah: A Brief Guide for Beginners”, located at the time in Lebanon, made allegations that were similar, but more detailed. He claimed that assistant to Secretary of State David Welch negotiated with the Saudis, and with Saad Hariri of the American-backed Siniora government, to funnel aid to Fatah al-Islam, so that the Sunni group could eventually attack Shi’ite Hezbollah. Lamb referred to this group of plotters as the ‘Welch club,’ but others call it the ‘Friday lunch club.’ and that’s BEFORE the psyops start! The psyops in Assad’s case being a non-stop psywar campaign, originally run out of the Israeli Foreign Ministry and dating back to the time when Alon Liel was minister, that has been planting stories in innumerable western mainstream mass media asserting that Assad is secretly requesting these raids, begging for help in escaping from the clutches of Iran, and so on. This psywar campaign is Israeli in origin, but, like other Israeli bad habits, appears to have been taken up by the Pentagon, which now provides unattributable spokespeople to encourage it.
