Well, Hezbollah is ready to crown its next king. And that puppet president's name is Michel Suleiman who just happens to be the current commander of the Lebanese army. Oh, did I mention that Suleiman is Syria's boy toy too? And to make it a perfect trifecta, the Christian opposition leader Michel Aoun has put his support behind the commander as well.
Hezbollah's endorsement alone is enough to alert the Lebanese people that their entire country will be a terrorist organization soon but throw in Syria's blessing and that of Aoun - good old Michel Aoun who is a two-faced quintessential politician. Aoun is the one who sat in France for many years and criticized Hezbollah but then on his return to Lebanon, cozies up to Hezbollah and signs the Memorandum of Understanding with the terrorist group.
When it's all said and done, if Suleiman is elected President, it will in essence put a Syrian presence on the border of Israel which is now Lebanon's. Who knows...with Suleiman taking over the presidency, that would leave the command of the Lebanese Army open - I guess he will find a replacement from the ranks of Hezbollah.
Here's the details of Hezbollah's blessing:

Hezbollah Hints at Support for Suleiman
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) -
A senior Hezbollah official said Saturday that the militant group holds army commander Michel Suleiman in high regard, further improving his chances of becoming Lebanon's next president and averting a political crisis.
Hezbollah deputy leader Sheik Naim Kassem's comments came two days after the group's ally, Christian opposition leader Michel Aoun, said he will back Suleiman as a compromise candidate for president
"We, in Hezbollah, ... have a positive view of Gen. Michel Suleiman in addition to our appreciation of Gen. Michel Aoun's stance and consider this alternative as a serious one," the white-turbaned cleric said on Hezbollah's al-Manar TV.
