...anxious Republicans in Washington about to head home for a month-long recess, there's growing worry about keeping the party's core conservative supporters excited about this fall's elections. That's why, in the last two weeks, the House of Representatives has tried to pass bills that would ban gay marriage and strip power from the federal courts to rule on cases involving the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance.

...strong central government to defend Lebanon. Meanwhile, Hizballah decided to do this operation. I was completely shocked. Things were moving in the right direction. We were supposed to have another session [of the national dialogue] in two days. We all know, they know, the world knows, that the core problem of this issue is not Hizballah or Lebanon, but countries that finance these people, like Syria. Nobody does anything about them...
