Sayyed Nasrallah: We Accept Official Results; Let’s Start Building our Country 
Mohamad Shmaysani   

Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah delivers a speech on Al-Manar TV.
 
“Tonight I will tackle Sunday’s election and the outcome.
First, I would like to congratulate all the Lebanese people, opposition and loyalty, on this great national achievement. I would also like to laud the popular presence that reflects a great national responsibility. This is a positive point. I also seize the moment to thank the ministries and the public administrations, the Lebanese army and the security forces, for the handling of the electoral process and for preserving security and stability. These administrations were in front of a major challenge of holding general elections on a single day. Despite some flaws, which we’ll assess later, the challenge was faced with responsibility. I congratulate the winners who have to know that they have just taken the responsibility of the people. We accept the announced results by the Interior Minister. Contesting the results at the Constitutional Council is another matter. We accept the results and we accept that the rival camp has secured the majority of parliament seats, knowing that the opposition has also kept its seats. In past speeches, I used to say that there is a difference between a parliamentary majority and a popular majority. If most votes have given the majority to the March 14 bloc, I would accept this regardless of our evaluation to the whole process. We accept the result regardless of the huge expenditure that will illustrated in the days to come; regardless of the sectarian incitement and the lies that were aimed to intimidate the public opinion, especially in some particular districts and regardless of open foreign interference, however I will not tackle this tonight and this will not affect our acceptance to the results.”

Condoleezza Rice waits for vindication

After George W. Bush spent all of Colin Powell’s political capital, he installed Condoleezza Rice as Secretary of State for his second term in office. The image of the United States had taken a beating around the world and was in dire need of a makeover. Enter Dr. Rice.

Initially, the cable news channels could not get enough of Rice’s stylish boots and cosmopolitan demeanor, a foreshadowing of the patronizing canonization of Michelle Obama. Underlying the disgusting fawning was a genuine hope that Rice would restore our tarnished reputation.

Foreign diplomats recognized the rift between Powell and Bush, so the State Department did not carry much clout. WIth Rice, other nations could be assured that her words and deeds were completely in line with the intentions of the president.

Rice wanted to revitalize the State Department. She pulled people out of cozy posts in Europe, and began placing them in areas that required more attention such as India, China, South Africa, and Brazil. Diplomats were required to do some hard time in trouble spots like Iraq and Afghanistan. They were also directed to become fluent in at least two languages and gain expertise regarding at least two regions of the world. More emphasis was placed on local and regional approaches to drug trafficking and disease. Bilateral discussions were to be promoted on the basis of improving infrastructure and lessening the need for handouts. These efforts were collectively dubbed "Transformational Democracy."
