"Out of concern that the government does not become an obstacle to the good of the country, I announce the resignation of the government I had the honor to lead," Karami told parliament in Beirut.
Ummm.... not buying it. I mean, I buy the resignation, I highly doubt the motive. Something bigger is going on in the background - either an ultimatum to Syria or an ulterior motive from Damascus. I'm betting it's the latter.
The Lebanese government today annoucnced that it resigned after seeing the picture of US Sec of State Condi Rice in high black boots, and the severe expression on her face; they realized that the US government wasn't messing around..
The motive of Syria is to somehow survive the pressures that they are under....giving up Saddam's brother? ....WOW...you know they were pulling in a lot of CASH from that....
And yesterday ...in a late night AP report, there was this little kicker....Saturday's Baghdad newspaper Al-Mada reported that Syria provided information that led Iraqi authorities to breaking up 35 insurgent cells in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul and arresting some 750 suspected militants.
