Serious question here.

I was just listening to President Bush's remarks on the ME. He talked about the goverment of Lebanon and how he wants that government to remain intact. I think Sinoria is the head of the Lebanese government. He also talked about Syrian influence in Lebanon.

What indications are there that Sinoria and the Lebanese government are trying to be a good and honest government over a good an honest country? What indications are there that Sinoria is trying to expel any Syrian influence? What indications are there that Sinoria is trying to get rid of Hezbollah from within the government and the population?

Are there anti-Hezbollah commercials on Lebanese tv like there are anti-terrorist commercials on Iraqi tv? Are there rallies against Hezbollah? Laws prhibiting Hezbollah activities? Kids taught in school that Hezbollah and other terrorist orgs are bad? Anything?

If Sinoria and the Lebanese government have not and are not taking steps to rid their country of Hezbollah then why is Bush so intent on keeping the Lebanese goverment intact? I would think that Israel would be doomed to failure with their goal of nearly eliminating Hezbollah's efectiveness against Israel from inside Lebanon too. No?

Anyone wonder if all the US warships docking to pickup Americans in Beirut may drop off some Special Forces? I like that idea.

"What indications are there that Sinoria is trying to get rid of Hezbollah from within the government and the population?"

None. He went on a rant yesterday on Fox in which he defended Hezbollah and attacked Israel. He was told that Mike Tobin in Haifa had a question for him, and he refused to take the question and hung up, apparently thinking that Tobin was an Israeli, and did not hear Tobin greet him in Arabic.

Siniora is as a puppet. He's weak and a Hezbollah stooge, who has no intention of doing thing one about Hezbollah.
