The largest Greyhound bus has 55 passenger seats. How many busses does it take to bus a half-million person protest in from Syria?
Some warbloggers need to know. Here.
Oh, and this makes it even trickier. Those wily Syrians bussed in a half million men! All the protesters were men! The warbloggers know this because they’ve looked at all the pictures.
This is a classic “Good versus Evil” match-up, and it’s why we must be willing to support the anti-Syrian side with EVERYTHING we got!
AND ANOTHER THING: Were all those angry pro-Syrian men Lebanese?
[..]
THEREFORE, I think ONE MUST CONCLUDE that many MANY MANY of the Hizballah men demonstrating were Syrian – or Palestinian Arabs from the UN refugee camps. (AT LEAST HALF!)That’s ANOTHER reason we must support the pluralistic, pro-democracy – LEBANESE side over the pro-Syrian forces!
See? It’s all logical and everything, and besides, if Glen Reynolds linked to it, it must be true.
And if Instamonger linked to it, well would other warbloggers be far behind?

lebanon. if the truth is what you want. i saw the marchers heading out to the rally. they were men, women and some children. the call was out to 30 political parties. there were christians and sunnis, druez and commies… you name it and the lebanese parties were there. the intent of the rally was three fold. 1. to thank syria, the soldiers they lost, blood they shed to help lebanon. 2. to make a statement to the u.n., rejecting res. 1559. 3. to voice their opinion that we need to get to the truth on the murder of hariri. maybe the concept of 1mil. participants is mind-blowing but when looking at the real crowd, it could well be that many people. the congestion was all throughout the country. this is a country who’s land mass is virtually eaqual to mi.’s upper penninsula. so you can walk to downtown in a half hour. the roads were clogged with teenagers all pumped up, which is different than angry. there was also, an important fact ignored by all the media, not one single incident of violence against a woman or a man, by security or the army or the police. this is a country that g.w. would have the world believe was a country not ruled by law. lebanon is special, the lebanese are special people. the war has made them willing, willing to live and willing to die. i believe that the lebanese people want syria as a friendly neighbor, who will kick-ass if anyone wants to try anything. syria is not perfect, but it has a history and future linked with lebanon.

sincerely appears to be starting a blog named lebanon. We’ll have to keep an eye on that one.
