Another death blow to democracy on the Middle East. Devastating. Who was more pro- democracy, pro-West than Jumblatt? This is what happens when American abandons her friends. Georgia, are you listening? Condi is an .... idiot. Was not it just a couple of years ago when we had turned the corner on the evil and despotic Syrian choke hold in Lebanon. Bolton remarked here in March 2006, "finally extracting Lebanon from the grip of Syria." This phenomenon we've witnessed for decades to the point where basically we've all gotten used to it." "Not to date myself or anything but my first recollection of Lebanon was Eisenhower sending troops in in 1958." The spiral out of control was so far, so fast. And the Mehlis investigation -- the results of which led Syria to abandon its decades long occupation of Lebanon and struck fear in the of Assad was for nothing. Rafik Hariri, Pierre Gemayel, Antoine Ghanem , all murdered, all assassinated - died for nothing. Bush decried in 2007 Bush said, "the United States opposes any attempts to intimidate the Lebanese people as they seek to exercise their democratic right to select a president without foreign interference. We will continue to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Lebanese people as they resist attempts by the Syrian and Iranian regimes and their allies to destabilize Lebanon and undermine its sovereignty." His word is meaningless. Olmert could have eradicated the Hezbos in the summer of 2006. What an abject failure, And in the last days of his corrupt and devastating reign of appesement, Prime minister he is rushing to establish a terror state whose objective is to annihilate Israel. Hezbos north of Israel, Hamas west in Gazastan, and Judea and Sumeria? What war was won by appeasement? Jumblatt deserts Lebanon'??s pro-Western camp, signs pact with pro-Iranian Hizballah The fervently pro-US, pro-Israeli Druze leader, Walid Jumblatt, has decided to hold out no longer. He has thrown in his lot with the most extreme pro-Syrian, pro-Iranian, anti-Israel force in Lebanon, the Shiite Hizballah, which has gained veto power over the government in Beirut unopposed. DEBKAfile???s Middle East sources disclose that over last weekend, Jumblatt quietly signed a ???defense cooperation pact'?? with Hassan Nasrallah, affording Hizballah a strong foothold in the Lebanese Druze bastion of Mt. Chouf. Drawing the hostile noose around northern Israel ever tighter, Lebanese president Michel Sleiman was due in Damascus Wednesday, Aug. 13, to celebrate the thaw in relations between the two countries. Neither Israeli ministers, sunk in an acrimonious contest over the succession to Ehud Olmert, nor the United States in the dying days of the Bush presidency, have lifted a finger to arrest Lebanon'??s swift slide into the Iranian-Syrian orbit. Jumblatt, after watching pro-Western strategic positions crumble in his country, decided to join forces with Hizballah to shield his ancestral mountain domain from Syrian domination. Read it all.
