Iran has pulled out the vast majority of its Revolutionary Guards in Lebanon after two decades as a major player among the country's Shiite population, most notably as the impetus for the creation of Hezbollah, according to U.S. and European officials.Hat tip Rev. Jim Sutter.At one point, Iran was estimated to have as many as 2,000 of its elite troops inside Lebanon. But today Tehran is reported to have from 12 to 50 military personnel in the country -- and probably on the lower end of that range, the officials said.

They can't possibly thinking of withdrawing excursionary elites in order to shore up defenses at home...could they?
I wonder what inspired them to do that.

However, no word on the thousands of Syrian troops still occupying Lebanon. In a neat accounting trick, the Iranian troops were reclassified as Syrian intelligence agents, and Iran was able to take a tax write off at the UN for the full amount of the expense. /honoring satire, and Tax Day in the US.
