the Impudence of Maura Connelly

Connelly is of course the US ambassador in Lebanon whose claim to fame is visiting and supporting the right-wing, blatantly racist and sexist TV station, MTV, in Beirut.  Yesterday, she met with the Lebanese Minister of Interior and asked that Lebanon hosts the Free Syrian Army on its territory.  So let me get this straight: the US wants Lebanon to disarm any group that wants to defend Lebanon against Israeli invasions and attacks, but want Lebanon to host armed groups that are opposed to the Syrian regime? Ms. Connelly: would you like fries with that?
