Interesting timing, don't you think?

Heads up on this op, too:

Lebanese army conducts psychological warfare training with US team

BEIRUT: The Lebanese army command has announced it is taking part in psychological warfare training and exercises in cooperation with an American team.

>The operation is being held “as part of expertise exchange and joint training with specialized teams,” it said.

>The military activity comes at a time of political stalemate in Lebanon.

>There has been conflict between Prime Minister-designate Najib Mikati and President Michel Aoun over mutual accusations of hindering the formation of a new government.

>Meanwhile, strikes in the Lebanese public sector have now reached the state-run National News Agency, leaving media outlets without an official news source.

>The strikes are happening against the backdrop of the central bank’s decision to allow judges to withdraw their salaries at an exchange rate of 8,000 Lebanese pounds to the US dollar, rather than the official rate of 1,507 pounds to the dollar.

No official news source? PSYOPS filled that gap quick. Also, sounds like blatant corruption from the incumbent gov.
