An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings
The Fall of Lebanon
Beirut’s death struggle ends amid a sea of Western indifference and U.N. incompetence. A deal struck Wednesday in Qatar gives Hezbollah the control it seeks. Welcome to Hezbollahstan.
Why would the Useless Numnuts lift a finger to help Lebanon? They WANT democracies to fall to the terrorists.
It is a victory for the Iranian-created, -financed and -armed terrorist organization that before 9/11 was responsible for killing more Americans — including 241 troops in their Beirut barracks in 1983 — than any other group. It is the stalking horse of Iran’s quite-mad president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Why haven’t we been backing up Lebanon? Why have we allowed Iran to run roughshod over every reasonably peaceful Middle East country? WHY DIDN’T WE DESTROY HEZBOLLAH?
The deal also green-lights the election of the army chief, Gen. Michel Suleiman, as head of state. He emerged as a compromise choice when those who insisted on a clearly anti-Syrian candidate relaxed their opposition. He’s on good terms with Hezbollah and was believed to have the tacit consent of Syria for the presidency. He was appointed to his post in 1998, when Syria ran the show during its decades-long occupation.
My grandparents must be spinning in their graves! The had to leave Lebanon because of the Muslim terrorism at the end of the 19th century. This is not a new thing. We just have more information at our fingertips. Why are we failing to recognize the threats BEFORE the damage is done?
Hezbollah has kept its weapons in violation of U.N. Resolutions 1559 and 1701. Its leader, Hassan Nasrallah, said the private network was “the most important part of the weapons of the resistance,” adding that Hezbollah had a duty to defend those weapons. Under this deal, the terrorist outfit gets to keep them.
The only people who still take the UN seriously are the leftist “one world” types. To everyone else, they are a joke. A dangerous joke to freedom, but a joke, none the less.
The U.S. must take some blame. In 2003, Congress passed the Syria Accountability Act, but Syria hasn’t been held accountable for anything, not even for having a secret nuclear weapons program.

Give me a break. Words without actions are just that….words, that do nothing more than create CO2 emissions.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently made a pilgrimage to Damascus to kiss the ring of Syrian thug Bashar Assad. Expect a President Obama to follow, a stop on the road to Tehran. Any Lebanese government decision must now be approved by Hezbollah, presumably after it’s been run past Tehran and Damascus.
Thanks Queen Nanny, for giving the pigs what they want…….a U.S. giving the appearance of bowing to their whims. ‘Preciate that. And putting Hussein in the Oval Office would all but insure a defeat of a once great nation.
In Lebanon, political power has grown out of the barrel of Hezbollah’s guns. Those who would negotiate with Iran keep feeding the Islamofascist tiger, hoping it will eat us last.
Make no mistake, if Hussein is elected, and takes us over that cliff, be prepared to either lose your head, or submit.
