Siege

Hezbollah continues to lay siege upon the government building in Lebanon where the president and some ministers are. The main roads are blockaded by "tent cities" that are not, as Gateway Pundit points out, typical.

 This is definitely not your typical tent city!

No freedom songs… No all night poetry… No hot democracy babes hanging out late…

Hezbollah thugs are now blocking the roads to government offices where the Lebanese leaders are holed up. The thugs promise to stay put until the government falls.

You may have noticed the absence of Hezbollah flags at the protest on Friday…
The BBC shows what happened to one protester who went against the pre-planned protest rules and started waving a yellow Hezbollah flag… He was whisked away by Hezbollah marshals!

Just thugs in a tent. Want to bet there are armed thugs in the tents? AFP is reporting that it is a siege as well.

"The massive demonstration… has given Lebanon one of the most difficult tests that the country has known in a long while," warned the pro-Syrian Al-Akhbar daily on Saturday.

The leftist As-Safir daily noted that the protest did not contribute to "open any slight door to resolve the political crisis which remains in deadlock".

The Siniora government, which has received strong public backing from Western and some Arab states, pledged not to bow to the opposition led by the Syrian- and Iranian-backed Hezbollah.

"The Syrian-Iranian camp, led by Hezbollah, has begun to implement a plot for a coup" in Lebanon with the demonstration and attempts to besiege the Siniora cabinet, the anti-Syrian Al-Mustqabal daily said Saturday.

Lebanon must not fall to Syria. But Syria is emboldened by the Baker commission because Baker has a history of selling out Lebanon, of course.
