Syria Ends Its Occupation of Lebanon– A Huge Bush Triumph
“Syria Ends Military Domination of Lebanon”, the AP says:
Syria ended its 29-year military domination of Lebanon on Tuesday as soldiers flashing victory signs completed a withdrawal spurred by intense international pressure and massive Lebanese street protests against a force that once reached 40,000.
Isn’t this huge news? A major triumph for the Bush Administration? Bigger by far than any Mideast peace accomplishment since Jimmy Carter negotiated the Sinai withdrawal and peace between Egypt and Israel? Yet the AP article hardly mentions the US, giving credit by implication to the UN instead. Maybe easy byproduct of the success of his Iraq and Afhanistant policy.
