Support for Lebanon, US style...
In a telephone call yesterday, "according to Fouad Siniora's office, the premier and [Condoleeza] Rice discussed Lebanon and continued US support for the country."
During the conversation between pity-the-fool Fouad Sinora and that awful bulldog Condoleeza Rice I wonder if they spent time reminscing about last summer (as friends might do), and more specifically, this:
"The fighting could have ended weeks earlier, but the United States threatened to veto previous draft resolutions. Instead, the Bush administration insisted on a version that would have allowed Israel to remain in Lebanon and continue at least some military operations, provisions rejected by other Security Council members. These delays cost the lives of hundreds of civilians and billions of dollars worth of damage to Lebanon's civilian infrastructure."
