I've always wondered about Totten. He is too involved in the Middle East. He's not just a reporter. He is embedded to the point of seeming more like a multi-pronged agent of forces over there.
I would not be surprised if he would be involved in some sort of disinformation campaign.
But I can not figure out who he would be serving with this info.
Have any ideas?

Those Lebanese Sunnis hopefully are real liberals, because experience shows that in Mosul the Sunni population, friendly to Christians up to that point, had no problem taking a 180 degree turn, and telling them to leave with whatever clothes they had on their backs, and confiscated all their properties and belongings.
well they better get thier actgs together and learn how to cooperate or they'll get bulldozed one at a time.

From Neo-Neocon:
Lebanon is different from previous ISIS targets:
ISIS has announced that Lebanon will be the next state to fall under the sway of its “caliphate.” According to Beirut’s Daily Star newspaper, the only reason ISIS hasn’t attacked yet in force is because they haven’t decided on the mission’s commander…
A majority of Lebanon’s population is either Christian, Shia, or Druze, and all three populations rightly see ISIS as a potentially genocidal threat to their very existence. Even the Sunnis, though, fear and loathe ISIS.
Other than the nominal sectarian sameness—ISIS also is Sunni—Lebanon’s culturally liberal Sunnis have little more in common with ISIS than the French or Italians do.
A serious invasion of Lebanon by ISIS could unleash a bloodbath that makes the civil war in Syria look like a bar fight with pool sticks and beer mugs. It would be tantamount to a Nazi invasion.

Pete, I was thinking that too.
Michael Totten is the source on this information.
