He says he took some good pictures so will try to get them later.

Nasrallah intriguingly pointed out that Siniora’s government had previously told the Hizbollah that it would allow the secure communications circuits to remain if the movement closed down its largely empty “tent city” in the centre of Beirut.
Interesting….

Apparently there are reports of alleged negotiations between the two sides and perhaps members of the government were willing to offer, for example, another security chief that Hezbollah could choose. Any face saving device. But according to these reports Hezbollah has turned down such offers.
Hear anything like that on the grapevine

There’s nothing on the news here about leb at all. It’s all about Mary Coughlan’s great taste in wellies.
Could Lebanon do with the services of a renowned international statesman with time on his hands to sort things out. Could you swing that Mac.
But seriously Mac, mind yourselves. I’ll go over this evening and hoover the new house in Clonbalt for ye. You may be needing it soon.

Various crap off the internet… the last one being the most important!!!!!!!!!!!1
Apparently Jumblatt on Al Arabiya is basically saying that March 14th chose not to fight.
OTV just reported that the Khouja, the Saudi Ambsdr in Lebanon has carried a Saudi ADVICE to Siniora to resign..!!!
The SSNP supporters burned the Future TV old building not Hizbullah and Amal
And MP Hassan Fadlalaeh of the HA block has expressed hope that Future TV ( from the other building) would start broadcasting “immediately” again. In other words: Message delivered successfuly, now you can brodcast again.
I received word that Fu’ad Sanyurah (the same “democratically-elected” Sanyurah) may resign tonight.
On another relevant matter, would the Future TV, oooops .. sorry would the LBC brodcast Star Accademy tonite? They are getting close to the finals!

Thanks all, we are rested and ready for the days ahead. Living out of a suitcase again but sure it could be worse.
The sun is shinning at least.
