Just watching CNN. They Pro-Syrian government has just resigned. Huge celebrations in Beirut.

Mod note: On CNN's banner:

It's quite a colorful lineage, I'll admit. I'd like to visit the Old Country someday when it's a little less dangerous for Americans.

The media is ignoring this story.......ok.....lets start posting photos here.

Jacko is more important.

Bush had nothing to do with it.

The bomb that killed the leader precipitated this.

No condi
No state dept.
no threats.
No aid packages.
No diplomacy
No alliances
No development plans
No CIA coup
No Bush.

Wasn't there a pic floating around with Zell on it from the RNC convention with that caption?

"[shouting] 'I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!'

Lebanon will need help now in exterminating the Hamas and Hezbollah vermin there.

Hurrah!

I swear David Asman is an asshat for ignoring this story. I turned my TV off and am now listening to Rush.

The idiots on DU consider this bad news today.

The Middle East today, the DU tomorrow. LOL!!!

It's too late to attack Israel....there are American Army Posts and American Air Forces Bases INSIDE of Iraq...and they won't be leaving anytime soon...they have run out of time...IMHO

Exactly!

These dominoes are falling because the oppressed peoples are being emboldened by 1-the PROXIMITY of the world's most advanced military, and 2-the willingness of American soldiers to stand and die for democracy.

This event in Lebanon will further incite those in Iran to demand change...IMHO.

It reminds me of that Jesus Jones tune, Right Here, Right Now

[anniegetyourgun]

And force the libs in this country, France and Germany to eat the WMD raw.

Every time I take a shower I miss something important. I'm never bathing again. J/k. :)

[Eurotwit]

I think it is wrong to compare this situation with the goingons in Westminster.

This IS significant, but it isn't over.

Cheers.

Keep telling yourself that.

The bomb that killed Harari finally woke them up all the way. The Bush Doctrine has made it safer for people to rise up and demand their government "do right".

So yes, although the bomb did set off this stage of the game, the atmosphere encouraged it.

We need some screen captures! Come on people... this is history... we need to document it! (That, and I want to see, since I don't have cable) :D

You can bet your house they are moving them as you and I type.

Puts the "turning Saddam's half-brother over to Iraq" story in a different light.

Good point.
