Less Than Nine Hours later

I’m really not this good—I’m just lucky, BUT, less than 9 hours after I wrote about the impending changes in Lebanon, the Syrian supported Government resigned.

“Lebanon's Syrian-backed Prime Minister Omar Karami, under popular pressure after the assassination of an ex-prime minister, said Monday his government was resigning.

"Out of concern that the government does not become an obstacle to the good of the country, I announce the resignation of the government I had the honor to lead," Karami told parliament in Beirut.

The government came under fire in parliament Monday over the assassination of Rafik al-Hariri in a huge bomb two weeks ago, while streets away thousands defied a protest ban to demand it stand down.

The debate had been expected to close with a no-confidence vote in the government, but after a lunch break Karami took the podium to announce the resignation of the government.

His speech was met by applause from opposition deputies who had seized upon public fury over the killing to demand the resignation and call on Syria to withdraw its troops from its tiny neighbor.”

I watched Farid Abboud, the Lebanese Ambassador to the US, on FOX News “Your World with Neal Cavuto” Monday evening and it was funny to watch Neal press him as he tap danced around the issue of a complete withdrawal of the Syrian troops. It’s just a matter of time however.

Fifteen thousand Syrians riding around in twenty year old Soviet jeeps are no match for the hundreds of thousands of Lebanese protesters backed by the 150,000 US troops with “up-armored” Humvees camping just a few hundred miles south in Iraq.

Let’s just hope that the Lebanese people can pull together to create their own government without the situation deteriorating into civil war. Watch the main stream media proclaim additional doom and destruction, predicting just that.

The American and international elite leftists would rather have a murdering dictator any day over a democratically elected government. They think that people are too stupid to decide their own destiny.

But they’re not…
