Bush needs to starting touting all of these victories to help save his party. He needs to revisit the reasons for the agressive war on terror and the many victories we have had the past few months.

But let us not forget companies like GE who are doing business with Iran. O’Reilly has been following these companies that don’t give a damn about terrorism and just go on dealing with these countries who financially support terrorism,including killing AMERICAN soldiers. Praise God my daughters boyfriend is back from Iraq safe and finished. He did two tours! God protect our troops and be their comfort and strength.

But again, and you’ll know better than I, I expect if its Hezbollah, its not there.

Hezbollah's not here, but the funding the Shia militia groups get comes from the same source. However, I doubt Iraq was a target of this particular attack.

You're right; they have attempted to go after Jordan before, but I agree that Lebanon was the likely focus. The article mentions "countries," so Jordan and Egypt could well have been in their plans, depending on how elaborate these plans were.

The Middle East remains a volatile place and it appears to be heating up again.

Hizbullah terrorist chief Imad Mughniyeh, who was killed in a car-bomb attack in Damascus on Tuesday, was in the midst of planning major terrorist attacks in moderate Arab countries when he was killed... On the agenda: planned attacks in Arab countries that refuse to take part in the coming Arab League summit in Damascus. The newspaper entertains the possibility that the meeting was merely a camouflage for Syrian involvement in Mughniye's killing.
That's what's known as "the other shoe". Thanks Ernest.

Syria hopes Lebanese president will be elected ahead of Arab summit
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem said Monday he hopes a new president for Lebanon would be elected prior to the Arab Summit in Damascus scheduled for late March. "We hope the efforts of (Arab League chief) Amr Moussa will bring about a solution in Lebanon leading to the election of a president of the republic before the holding of the Arab summit" on March 29-30, he said, according to AFP. "Syria supports the Arab initiative as an overall plan which would be implemented by consensus between the Lebanese," he told a joint news conference with visiting Brazilian Foreign Minister Celso Amorim. The Lebanese parliament was to have voted on Monday to elect a successor but the session was called off.

Arab League chief fails to break Lebanon president deadlock
Mussa met on Friday with parliament majority leader Saad Hariri and opposition tenor Michel Aoun to try to push through a three-point Arab plan to end the crisis, the worst in Lebanon since the end of its 1975-1990 civil war. After more than four hours of protracted talks with the feuding politicians behind closed doors at the parliament building and separate meetings with Berri and Prime Minister Fuad Siniora, the Arab diplomat decided to leave Beirut. "We did not accomplish the required progress but we will pursue our contacts until a new meeting is held in the second half of February," Mussa told As-Safir newspaper. "The situation is complicated and there is a lack" of trust between the two camps, he said, while insisting that the Arab rescue plan for Lebanon was still alive. "The Arab initiative is still on and there is some hope which we should hold on and which we should exploit," he told reporters at Beirut airport before flying out.

Lebanon lacks Hariri's building spirit, says Arab League chief
Feb 14, 2008, 11:24 GMT Cairo - As Lebanon marks the third anniversary of the assassination of former premier Rafik Hariri, Arab League chief Amr Mussa said Thursday that the country lacked Hariri's spirit of hope and the will to live and build. Mussa, whose mediation efforts to resolve Lebanon's political standoff have so far yielded few results, said the anniversary would be more effective if the Lebanese worked together towards national unity as it is the key to the country's stability. Lebanon's majority coalition and Hezbollah-led opposition have been at loggerheads over their representation in a proposed cabinet of national unity. The deep disagreements are standing in the way of electing a president.

Jordan king wants 'careful planning' for Arab summit
Jordan's King Abdullah II on Sunday said the Arab summit next month in Damascus needs "careful planning" as he received an invitation to attend the meeting, the palace said. "Careful planning is needed for the summit in order to create consensus and come up with a unified Arab position at this critical stage with major challenges facing the Arab nation," he told Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem. Muallem handed the invitation from President Bashar al-Assad to the Jordanian monarch, the palace said. Arab League chief Amr Mussa has said the 22-member body's annual summit would be held in Damascus on March 29 and 30, in spite of Syria's alleged involvement in Lebanon's political crisis. Lebanon has been without a head of state since November 23, after pro-Syrian Emile Lahoud stepped down at the end of his term with no elected successor and parliament has failed so far to elect a president. "Obstacles facing the implementation of an Arab League plan to end the Lebanese crisis should be removed," the king said. The plan calls for the election of Lebanon's army chief General Michel Sleiman as president, the formation of a national unity government in which no single party has veto power, and a new electoral law. But feuding Lebanese politicians have not agreed on the proposal.
