Her First Words

Maura Connely, the new American ambassador, after meeting with President Sleiman:
“I was delighted today to meet President Sleiman, It is a great honor for me to serve as ambassador to Lebanon. Our commitment to a sovereign, independent Lebanon, with strong and effective state institutions, remains the embassy’s most important priority.”
Translation: Nothing will change in America’s Lebanon policy, especially the support of the Army and the ISF as counterweights to Hezbollah.
Note that this comes amid an onslaught on state institutions by the likes of M.P Aoun and Jamil El Sayyed.
