Who is speaking for Lebanon? Berri or Siniora?


Neither. Sheikh Nasrallah is speaking for Lebanon. Just look at what's going on.

Look again at the picture of Rice and Berri...She isn't looking at him, it's just a pic that says "I was here...."

Re "not encouraging..." GOOD for Dr Rice. Hezbollah isn't "amusing" to the Americans, nor much of the Western world, either.

By that, the source said, Berri meant Rice had wanted any cease-fire agreements, deployment of international troops, disarming of Hezbollah militia, return of displaced Lebanese and plans for reconstruction to occur at the same time.

Berri considered such a course impractical and believed that a cease-fire should come first, the source said. Only afterward should the Lebanese government discuss other issues, such as the two Israeli soldiers whose capture by Hezbollah on July 12 sparked the crisis.
