Elect president on your own, U.S. envoy tells Lebanese
[Beirut Daily Star] The United States Friday prodded rival Lebanese leaders to elect a president without counting on foreign deals to help them choose a new head of state and accused Hezbollah of harming Leb's stability over its role in Syria.
The remarks by U.S. Ambassador to Leb David Hale were the latest foreign appeal to Lebanese political factions to act to elect a president as the deadlock, now in its 10th month, has paralyzed Parliament legislation and is threatening to cripple the government's work.
