U.S. says Hezbollah is increasing support for Syria’s Assad and is now part of his ‘war machine’

The Associated Press reports: The United States said Monday that Lebanon’s Hezbollah militia is stepping up support for the Syrian government and has become part of President Bashar Assad’s “killing machine.”

U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice told the U.N. Security Council’s monthly meeting on the Mideast that Hezbollah leaders are also continuing to plot new measures with Iran to keep Assad in power.

Rice’s comments — and those of Israel’s U.N. Ambassador Ron Prosor — gave the clearest indication that Hezbollah, which fought a war against Israel in 2006 and is a major political and military force in Lebanon, is sending an increasing number of fighters to help the embattled Syrian regime.

    I wonder, does Susan Rice have duel citizenship-U.S./Israeli? She seems to be in lockstep with Israels demands. I guess it’s that old ball game, follow the money.
