Abu Muqawama is one of the the blogs that we go to for news on Lebanon. If you are at all interested in what is going on over there, you should read the posts from the last couple of days.

But if that is to much work, just go to this post and scroll to bottom where Abu Muqawama writes….

Tom Perry — friend to both Londonstani and Abu Muqawama — is now reporting for Reuters that Hizbollah/Amal has now taken control over most of Beirut. Oh, if only Abu Muqawama had a nickel for every time an M14 sympathizer swore to him this would never happen. A clue for why it happened might be found in all those pictures of gunmen holding their rifles at the hip, cowboy-style. Great shooting positions, boys!

Look at the picture that he posts next to those words. Then go to this post at Abu Muqawama and look at the picture.

Of course, it is unfair to judge the fighting styles of two different groups just by a couple of pictures. But those pictures back up what people from the region have been saying for a long time.
