Source: Press TV "Joe Lieberman’s “warning” about arming the Free Syrian Army has proceeded all the way to action!" ".... But then Lieberman shows up:Senator Joe Lieberman, a former Democratic presidential candidate, went further than Clinton and talked of the military option.“ If Russia and China don’t change their minds about the veto … then the world will not allow us to say there’s nothing we can do about it,” Lieberman said. “So we should begin thinking about what we can do, particularly with the Arab League,” he said. “I think it begins with support for the Free Syrian Army.”The senator said a “range of support” could be given to the rebels, from medical supplies to intelligence and reconnaissance surveillance. “And then ultimately it is providing them with weapons,” he said during a panel discussion on the Middle East.

The items, packed in a number of chests and delivered via airmail, were discovered at Beirut’s airport, the Lebanese security officials said. The chests also contained a list of both well-known and ordinary Lebanese citizens including a figure related to Salafi extremist groups. The security officials have summoned a number of the individuals, whose names were on the list, arresting some of them. /snip/ Over the past few months, reports have circulated that caches of weapons have been smuggled to armed gangs in Syria through the Lebanese border.
