Michel Sleiman, "miscommunicating"'?

French "Source Impeccable", some of which are 'official', have communicated (with some surprise) that in last week's 'stealthy' meeting between Presidents Sarkozy & Sleiman at the Elysee, the two men agreed on the need to reinforce the relations between Beirut & Damascus and support all moves that do lead to chipping away at Syria's isolation.

HOWEVER, the French host showed some weary interest in Sleiman not so subtle "complaints" about Hezbollah's arsenal.

This comes on the heel of Sleiman's return from his other 'meaningful' trip to Washington and the prevalent belief in his entourage that the United States & Israel are going to swiftly deal with Iran & Hezbollah ... comes this spring! Some members of Sleiman's delegation to the Nation's Capital are even peddling these "conclusions" in Lebanon. Sleiman & the licensed-to-speak members of the delegation are adamant that "this is what they understood from US Officials at the Pentagon & the NSC.

Incidentally, US OFFICIAL sources deny that they even if remotely alluded to military options and have blamed all this on an "apparent total collapse in communication with the Lebanese president's men." (quote, unquote)
