Hezbollah supports Assad and not the “moderates”

Secretary of State John Kerry has welcomed the formation of a new Lebanese government that breaks a 10-month political deadlock in the country – even though members of the Shi’ite terrorist group Hezbollah are included in the cabinet.
In a weekend statement, Kerry said the U.S. “looks forward to working effectively with the new Lebanese government to bolster peace, stability and prosperity in Lebanon, for the sake of the Lebanese people.”
“Amidst growing terrorism and sectarian violence, we look to the new cabinet, if approved by parliament, to address Lebanon’s urgent security, political and economic needs,” he said.
Kerry’s statement did not criticize or question the decision to include in that new cabinet Hezbollah, a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization responsible for the deaths of more Americans than any other, until al-Qaeda’s attack on Sept. 11, 2001.
