Since Binny is back. This 2017 article on Israel in Libya is worth a read. middleeasteye.net/opinion/haftar…
What if Haftar is dying and doesn't have a second chance? In Nov 2018 Haftar had a cerebral hemorrhage and was hospitalized in Jordan then medevac'd to Val-de-Grâce hospital in Paris. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Radio France says it was cancer and he was being treated in Jordan when the bleeding began. libyanexpress.com/le-monde-libya…
Lots of loosey goosey reporting on this but Erik Prince's Maleth Aero has some interesting flight logs. "Vincent...saying the hospital could not be Val de Grâce as it has been out of service, adding that Haftar could have been taken to HIA Percy in Paris. alnabaa.tv/en/news/view/1…
The theory of impending demise of the 75 year old would perfectly fit with Haftar's meeting with the Saudis and then random desperate attack on Tripoli before talks as his last hurrah.

#NotreDame . Accident or vandalism? express.co.uk/news/world/110…
La Croix also reported on vandalism against Jewish sites as well. Part of a long history of attacks targeting religious, community and cultural sites. newsweek.com/spate-attacks-…
Fire first reported at 6:30pm. Seems long after workers would be on site. Imagery is almost 9/11/Saddam statue toppling quality. France and much of the world is in shock. abcn.ws/2KB2G7M

Iran has sheltered and supported violent groups just as the United States has sheltered and supported groups, from the contras to the muj. Bolton and Giuliani's obsession with MEK is a good example of stupidity on steroids. As they say: Iran plays chess, America plays checkers
What is America's MEK-tastic solution to toppling the Mullahs?...ThrillKillCultCommies! vimeo.com/290809252
Cubans were indentured mercenaries to the Soviets to survive, we are becoming indentured mercenaries to the Arab dictators. Controversial? No it began with Gulf War 2000 which led to 9/11, which dragged us into Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and soon Iran. Israel is the casus belli.

Libya..another one of those stupid wars where the media have more military protective gear than the fighters do.
...on the positive side, Haftar's war in Libya offers dramatically reduced babysitting costs.
Libyan kids won't be doing much time in school anyways. reuters.com/article/us-lib…

Israel’s Operation #NorthernShield, which recently exposed #Hezbollah’s cross-border attack tunnels, has prompted the perennial question: Are #Israel and #Hezbollah about to go to war in #Lebanon? I explore it in this @AlArabiya_Eng⁩ article & below 👇🏼 english.alarabiya.net/en/features/20…
The tunnels #Hezbollah burrowed are meant to facilitate the movement and infiltration into northern #Israel of hundreds of its fighters as part of its well-established military doctrine that calls for “the conquest of the Galilee.” jcpa.org/article/hizbul…
Tunnels aren't the main threat #Israel faces from #Lebanon. Before making #NorthernShield public @netanyahu met @SecPompeo to pass a msg to the Lebanese authorities: Stop #Hezbollah’s efforts to acquire to precision-guided missiles or Israel will act. jpost.com/Israel-News/Ne…

1/ The #Saudi kidnapping of #Khashoggi reminds me of the kidnapping of #Hariri. It is meant to embarrass the other party, this time the gov of #Turkey, and provoke a diplomatic crisis. This is drug Cartel methods. It has no other goal than to assert power over the other.
2/ However, resorting to these methods to assert power in the political and international affairs sphere is always a sign of weakness and a sign of a power in crisis. #SaudiArabia

#Libya While all eyes were focusing on Tripoli over the past two weeks due to militia clashes, ceasefires and yesterday's terrorist attack on the NOC, the LNA was tacitly preparing for a military escalation in central and south-western Libya, with immense potential ramifications
The instability in Tripoli served Haftar in several ways: 1) By highlighting the weakness of Serraj's GNA/PC and compounding shortages in water & electricity etc. the instability in Tripoli eroded what little popular support remained for a GNA/PC leadership despised by Haftar
2) The attack on Tripoli started by the Kani Brigade created a new push for political and fiscal reforms of the GNA similar to those Haftar demanded after the oil terminal stand-off ended in July but which since then lost momentum in August as the GNA and the Central Bank stalled

For the last 24 hours I've been texting & calling with refugees in Libya. 500 are apparently stuck in a Tripoli prison w/o food & water after heavy fighting broke out two days ago. They say their guards ran away, leaving them alone.
These refugees are men, women & children. They tried to cross the Mediterranean earlier this year, but were found by Italian boats, who turned them over to the EU-backed Libyan coastguard, who put them in prison. The conditions were already terrible before the fighting started.
Oh the phone earlier I could hear children crying & what sounded like bombing in the distance. The refugees say everyone's incredibly frightened. "We hear machine guns, tanks, big bombs, last night from the roof it was all fire."
