Pro-Syria Former Lebanese Minister: Lebanese President Suleiman Must Go

Former Lebanese minister Wiam Wahhab, who is close to Syria, yesterday attacked Lebanese President Michel Suleiman and called for him to step down because, he said, he was incapable of running the country.

He said that the perception of "a president accepted by all sides," based on which Suleiman was elected some two years ago, was no longer relevant, and that there is a need for a strong president with a stand, not someone neutral.

For several weeks, Suleiman has been under attack by allies of Syria in Lebanon because of his decision to renew the national dialogue on the issue of Hizbullah's weapons.
