Siniora declares victory over terrorism
2007-09-03
Lebanon's Prime Minister Fouad Siniora on Sunday declared victory over terrorism after the army seized the last Islamic militant stronghold in a northern Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon.

"It is the greatest national victory for Lebanon over the terrorists in Nahr el-Bared," Siniora said, hours after the Lebanese army took control of the camp in a ferocious battle that left 39 militants of Fatah Islam and five soldiers killed. Another 20 militants were captured and an unknown number has fled, with troops giving chase. "It is a great success that the Lebanese army has achieved over the terrorists, those who sought chaos, destruction and tragedies for Lebanon," he said in a televised speech to the country.

#2  Just like I wonder how the houses featured on "organize me" shows look a few months and a few years later... I wonder how Lebanon will keep up the joint in the short, medium and long haul.

To me, "Victory over terrorism" rings like "We have defeated the business cycle". We'll see.
