By Yoav Stern, Haaretz Correspondent: Hezbollah's Nasrallah: I thank Winograd for his honest report
Talkback
Title: Johnboy Name: Walid City: Beirut State:
Johnboy, the answer to your question can be found in Avnery`s latest conclusion: "That could be the crux of the matter: Olmert fulfilled an American wish. President Bush wanted to install his protégé, Fouad Siniora, as ruler in Beirut. For that end, Hizbullah, the main Lebanese opposition force, had to be eliminated. Also, Bush wanted to effect a regime change in Syria, one of the main obstacles to American ambitions in the region. I believe that this is the missing link in Winograd`s chain. Olmert could have argued: "I was only obeying orders". But that, of course, is unspeakable." Johnboy, this is the part of the Winograd that will never be released.
