Lebanon”s Future is Not for Sale

U.S. Congressman Gary Ackerman said following a meeting with President Michel Suleiman on Saturday that "Lebanon”s future is not for sale."

He said the Lebanese army deserves the support of the international community.
Ackerman also stressed that Washington will not "desert" the international tribunal to try suspects in the assassination of former Premier Rafik Hariri and related crimes.

"Any debate or relationship we hope the United States hopes to expand with any other country in the region will not be at the expense of Lebanese blood," Ackerman said.
