| Aoun: Bush, Sarkozy Incapable of Escalation |
| 2007-12-23 |
| Opposition leader MP Michel Aoun on Friday dismissed George Bush's threats, saying the U.S. President and his French counterpart Nicolas Sarkozy were "incapable of escalating" the situation in Lebanon. Aoun, after a meeting of his parliamentary bloc in Rabiyeh, predicted the postponement of Saturday's presidential elections session. "There is no agreement and all dialogue lines are broken" he justified. Aoun added that electing a president by simple majority is no longer a viable option. The Christian leader didn't rule out a possibility to meet Lebanese Forces Leader Samir Geagea if the latter "takes his own decisions" independently from his allies. |

| #3 I would love to see the United States quietly make a deal with the Lebanese Army, and then fly about 300 aircraft over Lebanon from north to south, at 350Kts. THEN ask Aoun, "what did you say?" |
