French President Nicolas Sarkozy stated that he was “reaching the end of the road” with Syrian President Bashar Assad and demanded action from the Syrian leader. He gave Syria till Saturday as a last chance to get off Lebanon’s back.
US President George W. Bush on Thursday ruled out direct talks with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, saying his “patience ran out” on the Syrian leader “a long time ago.”
“So if he’s listening, he doesn’t need a phone call, he knows exactly what my position is,” Bush said at a year-end press conference, after being asked whether he would talk to Assad to work on ending Lebanon’s political crisis.
“My patience ran out on President Assad a long time ago, and the reason why is because he houses Hamas, he facilitates Hezbollah, suiciders go from his country into Iraq, and he destabilizes Lebanon,” said Bush.
How will these threats be materialized or are they just oral threats ?? Lets wait and see what happens in tomorrow’s session.

N,
I have been visiting this site for a while and I want to shake your hand and tell you: thank you, thank you for having this site up. It makes my day no matter how ridicules the news in Lebanon is! Thanks for the hard work and professionalism and hope that our next president hits his head on the corner table and picks your name to be “WAZZIR ASH4AL”. At least we know that somebody will have some perfection in his work in the next ministry! AGAIN THANKS!

Mikel:
Silly comment.
U.S. Presidents may serve no more than two elected (that is, elected by the population/electoral system, not by some other office holders) terms of four years each. In accordance with the U.S Constitution Bush is absolutely out of office in January 2009.

eh el sarko!!! we know u can do something!
8. M.N. | December 21st, 2007 at 7:10 am
till now the french and the americans didn’t do anything exept bullshit (regarding the prsidential issue). Sarkozy said that last monday was the last chance!!! so what happened?? nothing!!!
personally i’m not relying so much on what sarkozy and bush said…we r hearing the same symphony it’s been 3 months…
where r we now???? first we insisted on a president from 14 march…here we r today we cannot even get michel slaymen for presidency….
about the cabinet!!!! now we agree without the 2/3…
we said presidency election deadline is a red line… here we r begging the opposition to go to the parliament for the election and the deadline is crossed 1 month ago…
we were saying everyday that electing with half + 1 will be our decision in case the opposition will not go for the elections…where r we from this decision?? this option is dead!!!!
COMPROMISES for the sake of the country!!!! this is what 14 march were doing it’s been 3 months… and the international opinion is still the same didn’t change…did we take advantage from this opinion?? NO!!! the real question is: ARE WE ALLOWED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE???
Finally i’m affraid that we will compromise the country for the sake of this country…
i wish i’m wrong and i wish i can be a little bit more optimistic but till now nothing is encouraging me…
Cheers,

lol, the us is not interfering in our internal conflict . Sundenlly , G.bush became a pro in our constitution and willing to support anyone (like he supported israel last summer;)
;) ) but the truth. Isnt he the one who went to iraq looking for weapons of mass destruction? Ya , still looking…
Anyway, who cares what this guy say from now on? He is down to 32% (american support ) yalla on his way out in a few months. Another vietnam scenario on the way, DO NOT BE THE VICTIM.
We heard a lot of BS a while ago and nothing . Dont bank on a white christmas in IRAQ.
10. Irange | December 21st, 2007 at 9:34 am
Ali,
you are right, but ya yeret the Chi3a from their side reject el Moualam rules and requirements…
Day after day, things are becoming clearer… the current problem is not between us the Lebanese… 30 years of war and we were just tools, and today we are reaching a similar scenario, US, France, Syria, Iran… and the Lebanese all the Lebanese just execute.
Till When… us the young generation… should keep accepting this issue?
Do you accept what is happening ya Ali, ya N, …
Please Let us Say it Loudly we are not a ball, we are not sheep’s…
unless we are! Are we?????????

Eh walla toli3 ma3k 7a2 ya ali 1559 , here some sad reality : وذكرت مصادر فرنسية لـ«الأخبار» أنه يجب عدم التعويل كثيراً على كلام الرئيس الاميركي، وأن الحوار مع سوريا لا يزال مفتوحاً بقوة، وأن الرئيس ساركوزي تحدث هاتفياً مع الرئيس السوري بشار الأسد خمس مرات حتى الآن، والتواصل شبه يومي بين غيان والمعلم

There were WMDs in Iraq; they were smuggled to Syria right before the invation.

Well , let me get started here ;
kiff al chabeb?
Irange ,
The lebanese ppl have different family backround , religious experiences, education, role models and media exposure . No, sir, we are not sheeps but we are RACIST when it comes to dealing with each others. chiaa are not going to change any time soon , so are the rest of the lebanese ppl. the war generation didnt die yet and this is the main prb. Lets hope for a new patriotic generation. Eduction is the only way out of this.
B.R
