Is this Hezbollah's first overt step in taking over Lebanon's government? Between the recent resignations and now this who's left?

From CNN Banner:


Christian Lebanese Parliament member Pierre Gemayel was attacked by gunmen in Beirut, senior Lebanese government officials said. Reuters and Arab news agencies reported that Gemayel died from his wounds.

They are saying on CNN (Brent Sadler) that if one more minister is killed or resigns. Then the current government is
also dead.

Hezbollah/Syria?

This is likely a planned move by the Hezbos/Iran.

- Iranian weapons continue to funnel in to Lebanon via Syria.
- Iran announces it's about ready to rock and roll with their nukes.
- Iran vows to commit genocide against the Jews.
- Iranian weapons make their way to Gaza.
- Isreali general tells army to prepare for "great" war.
- A Christian leader in Lebanon is assassinated (again).

Naw, nuthin' to see here!

Sounds like it. Nasrallah said over a month ago that he would start causing trouble after Nov 14 if Lebanon didn't more or less just include Hezballah as an equal in the government.
