And he is a COMPROMISE CANDIDATE, too!
"The strongest compromise candidates are the army chief of staff and the governor of the central bank — Gen. Michel Suleiman and Riad Salameh — both technically barred by the Constitution from assuming the presidency, although politicians say that if the two sides reach a deal, that restriction could be overcome."
One starts to wonder if there will be NO PEACE as long as BUSH SERVES!
"Lebanon: Army chief faces election obstacles"
BEIRUT - A leading member of Lebanon's anti-Syria parliament majority accused the Hezbollah-led opposition yesterday of putting up new obstacles that could hinder the election of the army chief as a compromise president. The allegation was made just days before Friday's scheduled meeting of parliament to approve General Michel Suleiman for the top post. Suleiman was agreed on as the sole candidate by Lebanon's rival factions after months of haggling that plunged Lebanon into a political vacuum. He won backing from both the anti-Syria parliament majority and from General Michel Aoun, a Christian opposition leader. The argument now centers on how to amend the constitution to allow an army commander still in office to run for president (AP)."
It's BULLSHIT!
A Truly "Nothing" Conference
"General Suleiman, 59, has won the trust of Hezbollah and the opposition in large measure through his cooperation with the militia since the 2006 war with Israel."
Case closed on the Zionist-controlled media, readers!
They JUST LIED!
It is USrael that is BLOCKING the ELECTION -- just like they sent terrorists into Lebanon over the summer!
