Hizbullah Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem has slammed Washington, accusing it of prolonging the political crisis in Lebanon. "The United States is not hurrying to reach a settlement in Lebanon that achieves partnership between the ruling (March 14) coalition and the (Hizbullah-led) opposition," Qassem said in remarks published Wednesday. He said that if Washington was prompted to choose between partnership and maintaining the government of Prime Minister Fouad Saniora, the U.S. would "undoubtedly select the second option." Qassem stressed that March 14 "simply cannot override the American stance" no matter what the coalition's position was regarding an end to the Lebanon crisis. He maintained that the "real problem" was between Lebanon and the United States, not between Lebanon and Syria. Qassem accused March 14 of intending to deceive the opposition once Army Commander Gen. Michel Suleiman is elected President. "They want us to elect Suleiman and after that they will turn their back on us concerning creation of a national unity government and drafting of a new election law," Qassem said.
