Hariri's Game (part 7) Hezbolah are in government

category international | politics / elections | other press author Tuesday July 19, 2005 21:36author by knowing i did my best to tell you about the blue white flash Report this post to the editors

non tali auxilio nec defensoribus istis tempus eget...

Prime Minister Fouad Siniora of Lebanon, elected to the job since the Valentine's Day crises of 2005 and 4 internationally observed seperate Sunday elections has appointed a member of Hezbolah to the cabinet.

The new government has 15 ministers loyal to Hariri the 2nd, heir and son to Hariri the first and five loyal to a pro-Syria Shi'ite Muslim coalition (just like you always got in Iraq) that includes Hizbollah (one of the many thousands of terrorist groups but sort of rare these days in not being directly connected to the search for WMD and introduction of democracy to Babalon).
The cabinet also has three members loyal to Lahoud (fancy that) and an independent (bless him).
(its a him. don't worry. manly.)

what part of this do you not get?

$36 billion public debt.
$19 billion public income.

on monday 18th of July Christian and Sh'ite muslim men with guns shot at each other killing one and wounding 12 in Beirut. But the Lebanese army taking time off from eradicating jellyfish too close to shore intervened and stopped it. They most probably did this by driving round in their armoured cars, unloading scared scary looking soldiers and putting the creeps into almost anyone.
But its OK! the Christians and Sh'ites stopped shooting at each other.

The 16th comment to Hariri's Game "Mr Lebanon" is dead" which started this thusfar 7 threads links to this article, a photomontage of the evidence immediately available after the assasination of rafic Hariri 14/2/05:
http://www.beirut.indymedia.org/en/2005/02/2225.shtml

It is now "relevant again". Because the initial impressions from the UN sponsered investigation as reported / leaked today indicated that general Moustapha Hamdane of the then Lebanese presidential guard, allowed evidence to be intefered with (directly or indirectly).

Hamdane is one of more than a dozen military witnesses who have been or are about to be called to give evidence to the inquiry led by UN official Detlev Mehlis under the mandate of resolution 1595 adopted the 7th of April.

Norway and Denmark have accused Syria of being behind the sacking of their embassies in Beirut on 4/2/06 and the simultanous attacks on their property in Damascus.

The rioters were fended off for a time by the Lebanese police who for the first time in recent history used both water cannon and tewar gas, but to no avail, the rioters prevailed and after buring the nordic crosses of both Scandinavian states hoisted green flags and then burnt the buildings. Observers were surprised to note the large number of adolescent males amongst the troublemakers. Neither Norway nor Denmark has accused Syria of being behind the attacks on their diplomatic property in Indonesia however, which occured earlier in the week and are thought by some to be a popular reaction in muslim states to the decision made by Right wing commercial newspapers in Germany, Hungary, France and Spain to republish these images :-
http://www.faithfreedom.org/Gallery/Mo_Cartoons.jpg
The images were orginally comissioned by the Danish best-selling daily commerial newspaper on the 30th of September, when for the most part their appearance and reaction to same was confined to usual diplomatic processes. It appears diplomacy between the muslim states and the kingdom of Denmark under its unpopular right wing government failed. In the abscence of proper instruments of arbitration or complaint, it is difficult to gauge further relations between both the EU (sympathetic to Denmark) and the Council of Europe (for Norway) and the states of Syria and Lebanon. The Parallel election of a hardline islamist party in the nearby "occupied Palestinian territories" in the meantime (since the first publication of the cartoons) has further distanced the Mediterranean muslim states from 4 key Western entitites- EU, CE, Nordic Council and NATO.
