Fighting words: 'stand up to Israel's violation of U.N. Resolution 1701 -- whatever the cost'

Lebanese President Michel Suleiman - one might guess that he really wants to observe Israel's strength in war. Some have guessed that it was Hezbollah operatives in disguise who have wanted to make up a provocation to still be relevant.

Perhaps it's time to stop making false assumptions regarding what the motives of Lebanese are, and who had done what. Israel's leaders have said they wish to calm things down and return to cease fire. In light of this, I think it's noteworthy to examine Suleiman statement again:

Lebanese President Michel Suleiman called on the country to "stand up to Israel's violation of U.N. Resolution 1701 -- whatever the cost."

Whatever the cost? And when the cost is realized - they'll surely demonize Israel.


Suleiman to the right. Obama admin is very comfortable with this guy.
