We are never going to win the long war if we stay in bed with the House of Saud.

Did the US prevent Israel from kidnapping Hezbollah's #2?

According to a German intelligence report cited by the Kuwaiti daily Al Seyassah, US officials intervened to prevent Israel from "hijacking " the private Saudi plane transporting back to Beirut Naim Qassem, Hezbollah number 2 and MP Mohamed Fneich. Indeed the Hezbollah delegation met with Saudi King Abdullah on December 26 to discuss Lebanon. Still according to that report, the Mossad had learned about this trip and four Israeli fighter jets were preparing to intercept the plane in Lebanese airspace and make it land in Israel. But US authorities did not want to embarrass their Saudi "friends" and were afraid of the potential consequences of this action; that's why they strongly advised Israel against doing anything.
