NOWlebanon tagging the Wahhabi line!

Nic Noe has this on MEOWlebanon:
"...Now Lebanon has this incredible passage on Nasrallah’s speech Saturday:
“…But if the so-called Arab spring has highlighted March 8’s chronic dependency on Damascus, it also brought into sharp relief Hezbollah’s propensity for hubris. The most damaging of Hezbollah’s recent blunders must surely be the support Nasrallah voiced for the Shia of Bahrain, what was tantamount to a declaration of war on the island state.”
– I just don’t understand, is Now Lebanon supportive of the Bahraini regime’s crackdown of protesters but against the Assad crackdown? How do they square the difference save for the thinly veiled political opportunism? It is passages like this over the years that lets NL get so easily tagged as mere information warfare – much to their frustration – rather than a dogged adherence to pursuing their oft-stated, lofty goals."
