#3 This is the same Siniora who yesterday refused to denounce Hezbollah's attack on Israel, giving instead a mushymouth list of Israel's various offenses against Arabs.

#4 Listened to him live (via translator) on CNN World. He was blabbering the usual stuff about solidarity, war crimes, etc, etc, and asking the Israelis pretty-please cut it out.

I don't think Siniora is in a position to denounce Hezbollah even if he wanted to, and I'm not sure he does.

#5 Without Hezbollah, Leb would probably be a stable country. Siniora's nightmare is a return to the civil war of the 80s. Hassan doesn't have to threaten to initiate it, just make sure that it's mentioned from time to time.

Leb's oligarchy is split between those who yearn for the comfort (and financial opportunities) of Syrian "protection" and those who want to have an independent country. The split isn't constant, as we can tell from watching Wally blow with the wind and Aoun act against what would seem to be his own interests.

#6 PM Siniora, you have no friends in the world except the U.S. and Israel.
