Wow: I am impressed with the Lebanese Foreign Minister--for once

The US media did not take note of the significance of this: how the US ambassador under instructions from Jeffrey Feltman (who is struggling with the pronunciation of the four words of Arabic that he knows) traveled yesterday all the way to Zahleh to pressure an insignificant MP, Niqula Fattush (highly corrupt and has a terrible record on the environment), to stick with the Hariri camp.  Lebanese media reported that the ambassador was summoned to the Foreign Ministry and asked to explain her visit to Fattush.
