U.N. chief: Arms crossing Syrian border

BEIRUT, Lebanon - The U.N. chief said Saturday that arms are reportedly still being
smuggled over the border from Syria to Lebanon, and he urged all sides to fully comply
with a United Nations resolution that ended the summer war between Hezbollah
militants and Israel.

The leading Lebanese daily An-Nahar reported Saturday that U.N. Secretary-General
Ban Ki-moon told Lebanese security chiefs that Israel had provided him with "evidence
and pictures" of trucks crossing from Syria to Lebanon and unloading weapons.

"There are intelligence reports that arms are smuggled. I am concerned by that kind
of arms smuggling, which will destabilize the situation in Lebanon," he told reporters
later during a stop at the headquarters of the U.N. peacekeeping force in southern
Lebanon.

The U.N. resolution that halted 34 days of fighting between Hezbollah and Israel calls
among other things for a stop in arms shipments to Hezbollah guerrillas and demands
the "unconditional release" of two Israeli soldiers the militants captured, triggering
the conflict.

Billions of dollars of advanced weaponry have been pouring into Iraq through Kuwait and other gulf countries destined for the conflict in Iraq. It is widely thought that the origin of these weapons is in fact the United States of America.

4. Timely disclosure...

Just when Pelosi is going to Syria. I can't remember a period over the past, say, 40 years where weapons of all kinds and provenances weren't used in this area. Now we just got the pictures. Too bad we don't see them all.
