W460

The commander of U.S. forces in the Middle East has met with top officials in Lebanon to discuss American military aid and other efforts to contain the fallout from the civil war in neighboring Syria.

Army Gen. Joseph Votel, the head of U.S. Central Command, met with President Michel Aoun, Prime Minister Saad Hariri and Defense Minister Yaaqoub al-Sarraf during the visit.

Votel did not make any public comments in the Lebanese capital.

The U.S. has been speeding up delivery of ammunition to help Lebanon's military combat jihadist groups near the border with Syria.

Washington has provided more than $1 billion in military assistance to Lebanon since 2006.

mostly in outdated, obsolete equipment and "trainings" (i.e.: US propaganda sessions)
meanwhile, dozens and dozens of billions were funnelled to israel, on top of free technology and incalculable indirect aid.
