Lebanon
STATEMENT OF ADMIRAL WILLIAM J. FALLON, UNITED STATES NAVY
COMMANDER, UNITED STATES CENTRAL COMMAND BEFORE THE HOUSE ARMED
SERVICES COMMITTEE ON THE 2007 POSTURE OF THE UNITED STATES CENTRAL
COMMAND
18 APRIL 2007
In
Lebanon, the government is confronted by opposition groups and violent
protests, but the Lebanese Armed Forces are maintaining a fragile
order. Hundreds of thousands of Lebanese have stood up publicly against
assassination and terror, and for their elected government and a
peaceful, prosperous future. The international community continues to
support the popularly elected government in Beirut and its legitimately
constituted and disciplined security forces.
