You’re right, good luck getting me to think Bush was a good president. he was the worst president in my lifetime and perhaps of all time. As for geopolitical influence, you better start getting your excuses ready for why Obama had no impact on the Iranian elections.

” “Sheesh” and “vivo” are undoubtedly willing to give credit to Bush for Hezbollah’s loss in the 2005 elections. ”

Their “logic” only “works” when it benefits their ideological beliefs, never across the board the way logic is in realty. Good luck getting them to admit Bush was a good President and did things right. It doesn’t fit their flawed weltanschauung.

“Vivo,” perhaps you can explain something:

The election results were not particularly different from the previous ones, except among Christians, which moved slightly away from Aoun (allied with Hezbollah).

Is it your contention that Obama’s speech to the *Muslim* world is what influenced Lebanon’s *Christians*? Because otherwise, given that there was almost no change in the Muslim vote, I’m not quite sure how you can claim that Obama’s speech worked, nice as that may be to believe.

Ron, Hez will be as it is because it has Iranian support and Syrian deals. BHO did nothing to help M-14, and the majority of the Lebanese deserve credit for actually standing up for hope/change in the face of Hez/syrian/Iranian violence.

“Ron Rosenbaum contends that President Obama’s speech to the Muslim world from Cairo might have been an attempt to influence the Lebanese elections.”

Bush speaks . . . Hamas gets elected.

Obama speaks . . . Hezbollah gets defeated.

Thus proving that… enough bullsh!t really can fertilize a desert.

Mr. Chuman:
“March 14’s victory puts to rest myths and theories propagated in the March 8 and Syrian press in the years after 2005 parliamentary elections”

Maybe Hizbollah needs a “bigger tent” and to stop driving away “HINO”s
