That was after the previous commander, the loathesome Emile Lahoud, took office as president in November of 1998. Likely the next president of Leb will be whoever's commander of the armed forces, too... and PM designate Tammam Salam to line up one that is free from the restraints of Hizbullah and based on the Baabda declaration. After their weekly meeting, the secretariat stressed that Hizbullah's involvement in the Syrian crisis have "burdened the Lebanese and linked their destiny to the turmoil in Syria following the party's inclusion on the list of terrorism in Europe, the Gulf, and the U.S." On the latest deadly festivities that erupted on Saturday between Hizbullah and the Shiyyah clan in Baalbek, March 14' statement said that the incident calls for a full state control and authority in order to limit illegitimate arms and restrict their possession to the state.
