"The donors in Paris took pains to deflect criticism that their aid pledges were solely meant to prop up Mr. Siniora. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, when asked whether the United States pledge was contingent on Mr. Siniora remaining in power, deflected the question. Mr. Siniora, seated beside Ms. Rice during an early morning news briefing, quickly interjected, “No conditions, no conditions.” Ms. Rice replied that the money was for the Lebanese people."
