Bush sending delegation to Lebanon
Associated Press

WASHINGTON - President Bush announced Saturday that he is sending a delegation
to Lebanon to meet with Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Siniora and discuss ways
to help rebuild his nation left in ruins after this summer's 34 days of fighting
between Israel and Hezbollah.

Dina Habib Powell, an Egyptian-born former White House official who is now
assistant secretary of state for promoting educational and cultural exchange,
will lead the five-member delegation.

The other four delegation members are: Jeffrey Feltman, U.S. ambassador to Lebanon;
John Chambers, president and chief executive officer of Cisco Systems; Yousif
Ghafari, chairman of GHAFARI Inc.; and Ray Irani, chairman, chief executive officer
and president of Occidental Petroleum Corp.

In a statement, the White House also announced that Chambers, Ghafari and Irani
along with Craig Barrett, chairman of Intel Corp., are launching a nationwide effort
to encourage private donations for reconstruction needed as a result of the conflict.
In coming days, the group will ask Americans to donate money to a fund set up to
help the Lebanese people, the White House said.

3. It's a bit late isn't it? Forget about it!

The Devil fiddled while Lebanon burned.

France and other countries have left the Decider looking heartless and standing all alone with the invaders who slaughtered innocent women, children and the elderly and destroyed much of Lebanon.

This is just an election stunt.
