She praised Seniora for his courage and steadfastness? What courage and steadfastness?

I don't get it. Bush keeps talking about preserving the Lebanese government when a good chunk of the government is made up of Hezbollah! And the rest of the government has shown no indication of wanting to take control of the country and remove Hezbollah.

Seniora doesn't seem to be a good guy and is undeserving of any praise from what I can see. I don't get it.

Seniora doesn't seem to be a good guy and is undeserving of any praise from what I can see.

Keeping "friends" close and "enemies" closer.

He comes across as weak to me and a couple of Lebanese people have told me he's pretty much a crook.

Miz....I agree with you to a point---I am sure Bush isn't "sure" about the Lebanese leadership, BUT, they worked hard to get that resolution 1559..and I am sure Bush feels it would be better to pursue that route than start over..

Especially because the Lebanese could elect someone worse..

I try not to let myself get too upset by what comes out of diplomats mouths..and that is what Condi is.
