#1 ...appointed two officials on Saturday to coordinate...

Please, the senorita wishing upon a pair? After he finishes the A1 spit shine on Hassan's patent leather boots, he'll make sure they remember to take both jars of Vasoline®!!

#2 Apparently the winds of Change are permeating minds in all directions. that is good.....and so would the outcome be, change wears the grey cloak. stops momentum and regenerates hope.

#3 smn, your unreasonable hatred of Siniora is ...well,....stupid. He's doing the best possible job of removing Syrian/Iranian/Hezb influence that he can, given the relative lack of power. He's been courting the French/US to help, and actually had the army wipe out the Fatah Al-Islam rebels, devastating the Nahr al-Bared refugee camp. Pretty strong stuff. You, on the other hand, throw ad-hominem "siniorita" aspersions. Have a big ol cup of STFU

#4 Frank G, don't start! You were there when the senorita cried and wailed and lamented the lost humanity and destruction upon 'his' homefront during the '2nd Lebanese War'. The senorita demanded so heartfully sickening, that the Israelis be censured and remanded by the UN to cease and desist their unlawful actions upon the valiant Hizballah! Frank G, reassess your glowing review of the senorita, He should resign rather than be dictated terms by Hassan and Baby Assad; and you just may have to 'eat your words' in the next conflict!

#5 BTW, the word 'senorita' is spelled correctly for the meaning I intend it to convey!!

#6 Who would've done a better job, given the short list of tools and supporters? You have nobody, because it's a thankless impossible job. Keep yakking, though, your credibility goes down with each comment

#7 Frank G, I will concede that if your..."the short list of tools and supporters?... statement may indicated the Siniora Government may have the "ear" of Meir, then yes, he'd have to play the 'double agent role' and that I may not need be so critical and sceptical of Lebanese intentions. However if this is your way of having me swallow this 'bowling ball' simply on the well meaning intentions of a no way out puppet, then add his name to the growing list of 'Neville Chamberlains'. As always, in such discussions,I will consider your wish for me to simply take my marbles and go play in another's sandbox...maybe the Rantburg 'battlefield' isn't big enough for the both of us!!

#8 do what you wish - just expect to be called on nonsense when you post it. I do.

#9 It rather seems like a bit much to expect Siniora to be an Israeli at heart. He is, after all, the PM of *Lebanon*, smn.

FWIW I'm with Frank on this one - it's a difficult and thankless job he has and he's doing about as good a job at it as anyone is likely to do. Anyone still surviving Syrian carbombs that is.
