AngryArab: "...Of cousre, Mr. Rashid Karami can't serve as prime minister because he is dead (assassinated by Samir Ja`ja`--the latter being a member of the democracy and freedom faction that the US supports)..."
QUESTION: The name of Mr. Rashid Karami has been thrown in there as an alternative person, a Sunni person, to preside a new government in Lebanon. Would the United States be willing to support such a government?
MR. CROWLEY: Again, the Secretary met with Prime Minister Hariri late last week as the duly constituted leader of the Lebanese Government. The President met with Prime Minister Hariri today in that same vein. During that meeting, we reiterated our commitment to support Lebanon and its sovereignty and independence. That is what we will continue to do. Obviously, Lebanon will determine what to do in light of the political action taken today. It will not change our commitment to support Lebanon in any way we can as it continues to seek to reinforce its sovereignty, independence, and security.

Perhaps the journalist who asked that question wanted to have a laugh at Crowley's expense. But he didn't need to ask that question as the Crowley's reply is laughable in its own right. Since when has any shit in Washington given a rat's arse about Lebanon's sovereignty, independence and security. All those prats in Washington want is a Lebanese political elite that will bend over and take it up the arse from Washington and Tel Aviv.
