The band of “idiots”: "..Syria is the one standing behind the provocation carried by the Ahbash against Hezbollah ..."

From Nick Noe's Mideastwire:

"... On August 26, Ibrahim al-Amin wrote the following: “... In any operational investigation concerning what took place around sunset the day before yesterday, one can reach results in order to pinpoint who bears the responsibility for the provocation or for firing the killing bullets… But [behind closed doors], where the investigation assumes a different form, be it security-related or political one or anything else, major words will be spoken and will be hard to announce…

“In the analysis and scrutiny, the band of “idiots” is bound to have a certain contribution. These [idiots] considered what happened the day before yesterday as a reflection of a Syrian-Iranian dispute [because they] believe that the Ahbash are Syria’s group and that Hezbollah is affiliated with Iran. And the most stupid among the “idiots” have gone even deeper to the extent of believing that Syria is the one standing behind the provocation carried by the Ahbash against Hezbollah in order to turn this group into the center of attraction of whomever wants to defend the Sunnis and that Syria has done that in order to pull the rag from under the “Future” [Movement’s feet].

“It is okay to hear this nonsense just to have an idea about the season of “stupidity” in Lebanon. But it is also okay to stop at the background of what happened and its dimensions despite all the words that were said yesterday in Beirut and in Damascus or the words that will be said in the coming few days. The following comments can be made:

“First: a few hours after the clash, various security sources came out and spoke about changes that took place during the last past months, in the nature of the field administration of the Ahbash. Many wires came in indicating the presence of new elements… Then the same sources came out and indicated that the ongoing tensions and congestion in these narrow alleys were indicative of confrontations of a sectarian or religious nature away from any political reality.

“Second: the unannounced details about the confrontation’s events reveal that a heavily armed deployment took place in a short time in all the streets without any real coordination…

Third: the communication calls made while the bullets were falling and after the calm prevailed showed that the pleasant talk about the political agreement does not express the reality on the ground…and that the so-called discipline of the concerned forces was absent at the time of the killing and the destruction.

“Fourth: At the final hours of the clash, [military-related] preparations took place in areas far away from the conflict zone…

Fifth: The Lebanese army acted in an interesting way, as it was unable to make an initiative…

Sixth: the unprecedented concern shown by some Arab and western sides in following up on the details was interesting…”
