"..... Jones met with Lebanon's President Michel Sleiman, Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, and Prime Minister Saad Hariri. "During his meetings, General Jones expressed support for strengthening Lebanon’s state institutions, particularly the Lebanese Armed Forces, and for its missions to implement all UN Security Council resolutions relevant to Lebanon and protect all Lebanese citizens," Hammer said. "He reiterated the President’s commitment to strengthening the partnership between the United States and Lebanon across a broad range of issues."
"The National Security Advisor reiterated the United States’ continued support for a sovereign and independent Lebanon and stressed that our efforts to achieve our goals in the Middle East, especially a comprehensive regional peace, will not come at Lebanon’s expense."
Jones also met with U.S. Embassy staff in Lebanon and layed a wreath at a memorial honoring the memory of 337 people killed in service to the United States government in Lebanon between 1976 and 1995 - including the victims of the 1983 and 1984 Embassy and Marine Barracks bombings.

How about honouring the memory of the residents of Sabra and Shatilla that America had promised to protect but who had been slaughtered under the supervision of America's client?
How about honouring the memory of the crew of the USS Liberty who were murdered in cold blood by America's client?
Jim Jones is incompetent and should be fired. We do not need a military man, especially a marine general, as national security adviser. Ambassador Michelle Sisson should also resign. She has not done anything positive. Nothing. Shelley Liberto
