May 11, 2008 (LPAC)--The British and Dick Cheney's Saudi
co-conspirators suffered another setback in Lebanon, on Sunday,
when an emergency meeting of Arab League foreign ministers was
unable to agree on a resolution blaming the violence in Lebanon
on Hezbollah. The set-back for British momentum toward another
regional war in Southwest Asia, as accompanied by another, in
Iran's ability yesterday to broker another truce the Iraq
government's fighting with the Mahdi Army militia.
On Lebanon, according to AFP, Egypt, with the support of
Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, had
put forward a resolution that underlines the league's "rejection
of the use of armed violence to achieve political goals outside
the framework of constitutional legitimacy and the need for
withdrawal of all weapons from the streets." An unnamed diplomat
told AFP that "Many countries are against this text because of
the implicit condemnation of Hezbollah."
The Arab League meeting came in the aftermath of events in
Beirut on Saturday, in which Hezbollah successfully thwarted an
effort by the London-Washington-created March 14 coalition and
Sunni militias to trigger a civil war. Hezbollah, instead,
cleared out the militias from West Beirut and turned areas of the
city over to the Lebanese army. Prime Minister Foaud Siniora
capitulated, for the moment, and rescinded his anti-Hezbollah
orders from earlier in the week.
The British have not given up on their gameplan, however.
British Foriegn Secretary David Milliband placed a phone call to
Siniora on Saturday to assure him that he has Britain's backing.
