Siniora's "Special Envoy" Shattah: "Lebanon's case is similar to Rwanda's"

Mohamad Shattah, Siniora's "Special Envoy" to the UN and Washington, came to the cities on the Hudson & the Potomac to expedite the Hariri Tribunal, (aka. Chirac's last salvo of indebtedness to the Hariri conglomerate) ... Shattah tried hard to convince members of the UN security Council that the safeguard of Lebanon's ruling Junta was of "existential importance" to the world's democrats, and drew a slew of comparisons between Lebanon and Rwanda. Shattah, a former "second tier" sorry excuse of an ambassador of Lebanon in Washington, relied on the frantic efforts of one "heavy hitter" in the Security Council: French UN representative Jean Marc De La Sabliere, who could not wither a barrage of trepidations in the UN's corridors where he was accused of "poor statesmanship" and lack of understanding of the UN's "abc's", as he tried to literally "shove Shattah down the other members' throats" ... The sherry on the icing came when Shatah heard (from his American interlocutors) a stern reprimand of his boss's (Siniora) "wishy-washiness" and his ineffectual handling of the whole basket of "requirements" as to UNSC resolution 1701 ... and so forth.
