In light of a Hizbullah allied Islamist becoming Lebanon's new Prime Minister, headlines in the media read "Clinton, Whitehouse Warn Lebanon Against Hizbullah".
Well, we warned the Obama Whitehouse against anymore U.S. taxpayer money, or military aid, to the Hizbullah infiltrated Lebanese Army.
See below articles:
"No U.S. Money, and No U.S. Military Equipment For Lebanese Army!"-August 2010
"Congress Must Stop Obama From Aiding Hezbollah/Lebanese Army"-Sept. 2010
The warning did no good:
"Key Congressional Democrats Unblock $100 mill for Hizbullah / LAF"-Nov. 2010
"U.S. Military Aid To Lebanon: Even While Hizbullah Has Veto Power"-March 2009
To be fair, how our government has dealt with this horrible Hizbullah/Lebanon problem did not begin with the Obama Administration. See article below:
"Condi's Lebanon Legacy: A More Dangerous Hizbullah Islamic Terror"-May 2010
And this in 2006 from the wonderful Alexandra at All Things Beautiful:
'Hezbollah Runs Lebanon' And 'Hamas Ready To Cut A Deal'-July 2006
In light of where things stand now, a former U.S. envoy, Elliott Abrams, has very astutely noted:
“The last straw may have been the decision to send an ambassador to Syria by recess appointment despite the Senate's unwillingness to confirm the Administration's candidate".
“That foolish gesture must have indicated to the Syrians and to Hizbullah that the Administration had learned nothing from two years of insults and rebuffs by Damascus."
A last straw coming on top of a decade of appeasement policies and wrong decisions by both Bush and Obama Administrations.
