| 2008-06-19 |
| Security officials in Lebanon say supporters of the militant group Hezbollah have attacked a U.S. envoy's motorcade with stones to protest her visit to southern Lebanon. U.S. State Department spokesman Tom Casey says a Lebanese security guard was slightly wounded in the attack against U.S. envoy Michele Sison Wednesday in Nabatiyeh. Officials and witnesses say at least 100 Hezbollah supporters also surrounded the house of local official Abdullah Bitar as he met with Sison, throwing stones and shouting anti-U.S. slogans. |

| #3 With Secretary of State Rice in charge, I believe she has resorted to "accept the assignment when it's your turn or leave the department," Scott. There was a big meeting a few months back, because about half the people were refusing any challenging assignments at all. |

| #2 I wonder, how far up (or down) on the diplomatic shit list one has to be to get a middle east assignment? |

| #1 I hope, in the next Hezbullawww/Israel war, the US parks a couple of carriers just outside missile range, and helps Israel level everything between Beirut and the Litani, plus the Bekaa Valley. I'm not opposed to using nukes, either. |
