Fouad Siniora for UN Secretary General

When the Washingto Post simultaneously prints an opposing piece by a prominent Israeli, (Gillerman would do), they will be open for consideration as a legitimate news source. Until then, they are just another source of anti Israel propoganda.

I'll disagree with you there Saw. WP has been -by the MSM low standards- fair to Israel in many respects.

Slightly off subject, did y'all see that Israel replaced their northern theater commander with the former CO of Golani? Seems to show that Israel is finally going to recognize that this is an infantry war, and is going to let an infantryman run it. I'd look for another brigade or two being committed up there, and possibly an increased ground footprint in the next week or two.

From the way this is written you would think the Lebonese Army was fighting for its life against the IDF.

The only thing that makes any sense is Hezbollah had grabbed or threatened members of his family with death if he did not play Hezbollah ball. If this is not the case then he is nothing more then another Muslim idiot.

I will concede that I generally do not follow the WP and tend to link them with the NYT and the rest of the MSM. Perhaps I did them an injustice.

Siniora seemed to be much less the HB mouthpiece the first week of this war. Maybe there is a personal threat pushing him. Or maybe, he is just being a politician and going with the apparent wind direction.

Saw,

Siniora has to say the things that he is saying. His country is being bombed, he can't exactly cheer on the IDF. Also, I'm not convinced he can threatened Hez either, since the Lebanese military couldn't defeat them. There would also be the whole issue of secterian strife rearing its ugly head again.

Siniora is in the toughest spot imaginable.

One thing I've yet to see discussed ... Why no analogy between Syria / Lebanon / Hez and Pakistan / Afganistan /Taliban? Isn't the Leb army doing what the Paki ISS did? Isn't Siniora talking as Musharraf did?

Why do we expect a different outcome?

Siniora could ask for UN help in expelling Hezbollah form Lebanon and returning the country to government control.

I thought you could use a laugh.

It's one thing for Sinoira to be held hostage to Hezbollah's wishes, it's a whole nother thing to be pro-actively advocating on behalf of Hezbollah.

This pretty much goes to show that many Lebanese leaders never had any intention of fulfilling their UN obligations and disarming Hezbollah.

How that can be blamed on Israel is beyond me.

Everything is very open and very clear explanation of issues. was truly information. Your website is very useful. Thanks for sharing.
