Surprise, Surprise: Hezbollah's Puppet Gen. Suleiman Elected Lebanon's President

What a joke. This General, General Michel Suleiman, was the same General a couple of weeks ago that refused to take up arms and direct his forces against Hezbollah when the uprising occurred in Lebanon. This is the same General that was hand-picked by Syria and Hezbollah last year to become the President of Lebanon. You might as well just scratch Lebanon off the list of countries in the Middle East that held any hope of fighting the islamic takeover and you might as well add Lebanon as the next biggest threat to Israel.

Here's some of the details at the report over here at Breitbart:

Lebanon's parliament elected army commander Gen. Michel Suleiman as president Sunday in a long-delayed vote that was a key step toward restoring political stability after an 18-month stalemate.
Celebratory gunfire and occasional explosions reverberated across the capital, Beirut, as news of Suleiman's election was announced.
In the general's hometown of Aamchit on the Mediterranean coast north of Beirut, hundreds of people broke out in cheers and dancing in the main square as they watched the vote on a giant screen.
The Hezbollah-led opposition and Western-backed government agreed last week to elect Suleiman as part of their deal to end the political crisis. The stalemate erupted into violence earlier this month, bringing the country to the brink of another civil war.

This guys is 100% bum, he's a puppet and a minnion for Tehran and Damascus. I guess the only redeeming factor here is we don't have to watch the Syrians assassinate another head of state of Lebanon - this is their boy, they own his ass.

Lebanese parliament elects army chief as president

BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) - Lebanon's parliament elected army commander Gen. Michel Suleiman as president Sunday in a long-delayed vote that was a key step toward restoring political stability after an 18-month stalemate.
Celebratory gunfire and occasional explosions reverberated across the capital, Beirut, as news of Suleiman's election was announced.
In the general's hometown of Aamchit on the Mediterranean coast north of Beirut, hundreds of people broke out in cheers and dancing in the main square as they watched the vote on a giant screen.
The Hezbollah-led opposition and Western-backed government agreed last week to elect Suleiman as part of their deal to end the political crisis. The stalemate erupted into violence earlier this month, bringing the country to the brink of another civil war.
The presidential vote had been postponed 19 times since November when the last president, Emile Lahoud, left office.
Suleiman, a compromise candidate, ran unopposed. He won 118 votes of the 127 living members of the legislature, according to parliament speaker Nabih Berri.
There were six blank ballots. Two legislators voted for one-time presidential hopefuls and one was in the name "Rafik Hariri and the martyred legislators"—a reference to the slain former prime minister and five other lawmakers killed in bombings in the last three years.
After the vote, Berri was to swear in the new president.
