Biden: "So I urge those who think about standing with the spoilers of peace not to miss this opportunity to walk away from the spoilers."

Earlier: "In comments distributed to the press on board her (Clinton) plane, she said: "The people of Lebanon must be able to choose their own representatives in open and fair elections, without the specter of violence or intimidation, and free of outside interference." 

"...With Biden's visit following so closely after Clinton's, the attention from President Barack Obama's administration underscores concerns about a possible win by Hezbollah, which the U.S. considers a terrorist group.

"Lebanon has suffered terribly from war and we have a real opportunity now ... for peace," Biden said after talks with President Michel Suleiman. "So I urge those who think about standing with the spoilers of peace not to miss this opportunity to walk away from the spoilers."
