| [Jerusalem Post Front Page] Lebanese Christian leader pledges support for Hariri; says gov't led by Shi'ite group would lead Leb to be isolated and ostracized by the int'l community and Arab world like Gazoo Strip after Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, takeover. Lebanese Christian leader Samir Geagea ... Geagea was imprisoned by the Syrians and their puppets for 11 years in a dungeon in the third basement level of the Lebanese Ministry of Defense. He was released after the Cedar Revolution in 2005 ... on Saturday warned that if the country's new cabinet is led by Hizbullah candidate Omar Karami the situation "will be similar to Gazoo." Geagea said Leb, like the Gazoo Strip after it was taken over by Hamas in 2007, would be isolated and ostracized by the international community and Arab world, with the exception of Syria. Geagea stated that the Lebanese economy would suffer greatly from a Hizbullah-led government. "Is anyone wondering what the situation of the Lebanese lira will be if the other team comes to power?" Geagea said during a presser. Geagea said that not only Hizbullah, but also Syria was behind the push to make Karami premier. The Christian leader accused Hizbullah and its allies of rejecting Saad Hariri as prime minister, not because he is Sunni or allegedly corrupt, but rather because he is independent and rejected pressure to denounce the UN tribunal into the liquidation of Rafik Hariri. Geagea expressed his support of Hariri's push for the premiership of Leb, saying "we will do everything possible to bring back Hariri as prime minister." On Friday, Druse leader Walid WallyJumblat ... who's been on every side in Leb at least four times... t, a potential kingmaker in Leb, threw his support behind Hizbullah, a major boost to the Shi'ite group that brought down the country's Western-backed government last week. |

| #5 Technically speaking, IMO both ISRAEL + IRAN are on the diplomatic defensive - Israel will prefer to wait until the last second to militarily attack Iran, while Nuclearizing Iran on its part prefers to let the various Militant-Terror Groups be in the forefront of confrontation agz Israel. HOWEVER, THE MONGER ISRAEL [US?] PUT OFF STRIKING IRAN'S NUCPROGS THE MORE TIME REGIONAL MILTERRS HAVE TO ENGAGE IN "GOVT/POWER-SHARING" [Political Jihad] + PROCUREMENT OF NUCTECHS [Nukes-WMDS], LEGALLY ANDOR ILLEGALLY. ISRAEL may find itself surrounded not only by OVERTLY HOSTILE, PRO-ISLAMIST, DEATH-TO-ISRAEL-BY-ANY-MEANS, NUKE-ARMED MUSLIM GOVTS-STATES, BUT ALSO DITTO NUKE-ARMED MILTERR GROUPS INDEPENDENT OF SAID OR ANY MUSLIM GOVTS-STATES. And remember, MSM-NET PERTS = the US is supposed to be in STEADY GEOPOL DECLINE - IOW, THE US "CAN'T" OR "WON'T" BE THERE TO SUPPORT ISRAEL ANYMORE??? |

| #4 My feeling on how to deal with Hizb'Allah goes through Syria. If Hizb'Allah gets frisky, Syria gets it. There are costs to be paid by enabling the level of terrorism and murder that the Hizbullies practice. Syria has suffered no consequences for their accessory to terrorism and murder. Whether Lebanon or Iraq. It is time that Pencil Neck needs to understand that there are consequences for his actions. |

| #3 Where will they go? Lots of Lebanese immigrants in Canada and Australia. The ones in the U.S. are mostly Christians who came a generation or two ago. |

| #2 If the Hezzies do take over I assume there will be a mass exodus of non-Hezzie supporters. Where will they go? Turkey? Jordan? Egypt? Europe? |

| #1 Hizbullah rule will turn Lebanon into Gaza How long until Israel smashes the hizbullies in Gazoo? Just one rocket too many .... Lebanon has to rise to occasion and kick the foreigners (Syria and Iran) out, yet again. |
