Lebanese cabinet postpones implementing resolution

Siniora said his Cabinet -- which includes two Hezbollah members -- unanimously approved the resolution Saturday. But the Lebanese Cabinet postponed its meeting Sunday to discuss implementing the resolution, a Lebanese government minister said.
The meeting was postponed one to two days, the minister said, at the request of parliamentary speaker Nabih Berri, a key negotiator with Hezbollah.
You have a "key negotiator" with a TERRORIST GROUP - why exactly are we calling you a sovereign state, Lebanon?
The postponement will give government officials more time to meet with Hezbollah leadership to discuss details of implementing the U.N. resolution, the Lebanese minister said.
Nazrallah is screwed if the Lebanese actually implement the resolution, but the Lebs can't reject it outright given the unamious vote in the UNSC. So he's going to stall and play the edges for a while if he can ... | Giving Israel carte blanche until the Hizzies can come up with their best taqqiya lie. Though I think we know their answer: Also giving Syria time to rearm Hezb'Allah. As they reportedly are continuing to do. On to the Bekaa, I think (hope). | Hezbollah fired more than 230 rockets, Israel reported, and several hit the northern port city of Haifa.
Onward to the Bekaa Valley, Israel - and to Syria. Chop-chop, before they come up with their chosen lie.
Methinks if the Israelis get deep into the Bekaa that they're going to find some interesting surprises, and at least one UNSC member will become very nervous and unhappy ... |
