There really is no limit to how low this pompous little shit will go to satisfy his fragile ego and retarded worldview. Speaking to the BBC in advance of a trip to Middle East, George W. Bush used the recent civil strife in Lebanon to again push his latest crusade (and I do not use that word lightly):
[Bush] said the US was helping the Lebanese army become effective enough to act against Hezbollah
"Iran is responsible for what is happening in Lebanon. The subject now is the Iranian attack on Lebanon. They want us to surrender totally without any compensation," Lebanese Sports Minister Ahmed Fatfat said Friday during an interview with the Al-Arabiya television network Friday amid reports that Hizbullah gunmen seized control of large parts of Beirut."Hizbullah has turned from an opposition party into a militia attempting to impose its control. I think Hizbullah believes that the way to Tel Aviv passes through Beirut," he said. Fatfat said Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah had "taken advantage of the government's decision to outlaw the (Shiite) group's communications network in order to declare war." More...

Israeli intelligence has warned that in the interim Hamas and Jihad Islami would make every effort to ignite the Gaza front in order to unite the Arab rulers behind a dramatic Arab resolution in support of the Palestinian Islamists. This tactic would transfer the Gaza issue’s center of gravity from Cairo, which is brokering a Hamas-Israel ceasefire deal, to radical Damascus.Egged on by Syria and Iran, Hamas keeps on stalling this track and raising its demands.the coming Arab League summit will for the first time host an Iranian head of state. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will be seated beside Syrian president Bashar Assad as guest of honor to parade the Tehran-Damascus axis’ pre-eminent role in Arab Middle East affairs, with Iran setting the pace.

While the deadline for the election of a president is looming fast in Lebanon, the situation remains as murky as possible. World diplomats are trying to deal with this potentially explosive issue.

Seriously I never trust any of the civil war princes in Lebanon , like the Gameyals ,Jonbalt and Geagea , there is too much blood on their hands and they do not regret it , there is too much hate inside them towards the other sects and they are trying hard to hide ,but they can't ,it is in their language and is in their actions , it is too obvious You want a living proof ,well you only had to watch an episode of a political TV show on LBC where they hosted former President "Amin El-Gameyal" from the phalanges who lost the elections in the Metn Christian populated area"his base" to Aoun' FPM candidate Dr.Kamel,if you remember I told you before that the former president went mad when he knew the final results of the elections that he accused immediately of having an election fraud,well this was before he knew the reason behind his loss It turned out that the Lebanese Armenians were the reason behind the loss ,this minority was the one behind the 48% of Dr.Kamil , the mi
I will admit it…ever since eating at Eros, I have been craving Greek/ Mediterranean/ Lebanese food something fierce. And since I obviously can’t afford to eat at Eros every day, I’ve been forced to find to suitable alternative. This week we decided to try to Al Amir, a restaurant not even two blocks away from our house that boasted large, appetizer styled menus. It's nothing fancy, just some tables, a bar, big windows that look down on the busy street below, and some strobe lights that made up the dance floor. And apparently, the Lebanese dig their dancing.

The Background: So, I really wanted to go to First Thursday...the east end late night gallery night. If you're not a Time Out subscriber, you might not know that on the first Thursday of each month this summer, all the galleries in and around Shoreditch will be staying open til 9.
I managed to convince some people to come check stuff out with me, and although there were some odd bits (naked men, blood, etc.), all in all, I'd highly recommend checking it out. (The odd bits make it worth it, no?)

6/3/2007 6:23:01 AM Sunday,Lebanese troops continued shelling the Palestinian refugee camp in Northern Lebanon targeting militant-hideouts deep within the camp, according to reports. The Lebanese troops may have made significant inroads into the refugee camp, as evidenced by the artillery shelling and smoke arising from within the camp. In previous attacks the army often targeted outer areas of Nahr el-Bared camp in their bid to make progress. The militants are believed to have been forced to the southern part of the camp after fierce fighting with troops in the north and east. Lebanese sources said a top Fatah Islam militant Naim Deeb Ghali was killed, however no official confirmation was available with the ban on media in place.On Saturday, four soldiers were killed and 10 others injured in the fighting that ensued between government troops and militants. The Lebanese troops used air power, firing at least 2 missiles at suspected positions in an attempt to cut off fighters fleeing th
The resistance has started already to the new immigration reform bill (free registration required) currently making its way through Congress. Corporate lobbies are already protesting the bill they helped create, saying the legislation will do little to combat the coming shortage of workers they foresee.
Lebanese troops are fighting Palestinian refugee/militants in a widening conflict that might spark another civil war.
After all the scandals, Senate testimony, and sickbed standoffs, Bush still supports Alberto Gonzales. I think he’s the only one.

U.S. Delivers Civil Disorder Management Equipment and SUVs to the Lebanese Internal Security ForcesOn February 7, in Beirut, the United States Embassy turned over 60 Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) equipped with sirens and police lights to the Lebanese Internal Security Forces (ISF).

DEBKAfile Exclusive: Siniora’s Lebanese government breaks up, faces street disturbances after national unity talks collapse Saturday
Five pro-Syrian Hizballah and Amal ministers walked out of Fouad Siniora’s government coalition Saturday, Nov. 11. Another two ministers, supporters of the pro-Syrian president Emil Lahoud, are on their way out, taking with them the government’s parliamentary majority. The two Shiite factions and the pro-Syrian Maronite leader Michel Aoun say their followers will take to the streets as of Sunday for demonstrations in Beirut and other Lebanese towns. It would only take a few shots, say DEBKAfile’s Middle East sources, to spark clashes between Syria’s adherents and opponents in Lebanon.
The crisis erupted when Siniora proposed convening the cabinet Monday, Nov. 13, to approve a bill for a special court to try suspects in the Feb. 2005 Hariri assassination. He intended to propose a panel of 5 Lebanese and 3 international judg
With each day the political rhetoric in Lebanon reach new heights of stupidity, absurdity and narcissism... I am here talking about ALL the Lebanese politicians, their statements are only old regurgitated speeches that can be summarized in a sentence: "they started it, they are wrong, we are right!â€
Is anybody giving an alternative, offering a new plan of action? No, on one side a fierce power grabbing campaign is waged and on the other side a fiercer defensive action is taken.
What is funny among all these statements and counter statements, and the respective demonstrations and counter demonstrations, are the PR campaigns waged before each to convince the populace that these upcoming statements will be earth shattering, mind boggling and future changing announcements. And each time we get the same awful bland speeches…
But the sad fact about all this mess is that each leader's loyal followers are totally convinced by these divine revelations and regurgitate the same argument

ADVERTISEMENT Army tanks shelled militant hideouts in the Nahr el-Bared camp by this northern port city, blasting upper floors of buildings where the militants placed snipers.
A Lebanese air force helicopter fired two missiles and strafed militant positions in the first use of airpower since fighting began with the Fatah Islam group on May 20. The air attack was an apparent attempt to block an escape route to the Mediterranean Sea.
Four soldiers were killed and 10 wounded Saturday in the offensive aimed at uprooting al-Qaida-inspired gunmen barricaded in the refugee camp.
The casualties raised the army's deaths to 38 in two weeks. At least 20 civilians and about 60 militants were killed by Friday, but casu
