U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton praised on Thursday the release of the indictment by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon as an important milestone toward ending a period of impunity for political violence in Lebanon.

“The confirmation of the indictments by the pre-trial judge and their delivery by the Special Tribunal to the Lebanese authorities is an important milestone toward justice and ending a period of impunity for political violence in Lebanon,” Clinton said in a statement.

She urged the Lebanese government “to meet its obligations under international law to support” the court that is set to try ex-Premier Rafik Hariri’s suspected killers.

Clinton also called on all Lebanese parties to promote calm and continue to respect the tribunal.

While stressing that its work is “legitimate and necessary,” Clinton said in her statement that the STL “represents a chance for Lebanon to move beyond its long history of political violence and to achieve the future of peace and stability that the Lebanese people deserve.”

“Those who oppose the Special Tribunal seek to create a false choice between justice and stability. Lebanon, like any country, needs and deserves both,” she added.

No wonder why Bill cheated on you Lady Satan. You deserve to have such an filthy husband because you are a filthy satanic lady. By the way when will you make a special tribunal for all the people your master, the zionazis killed?

By justice, Clinton actually means using an international tribunal to falsely accuse someone of a crime that they did not actually commit, but that will be used in order for the US and its allies to get their own justice served against someone they cannot get using any other method, and they tried. Well, we all know that the US has gone from being on top as a superpower to becoming very low and a superfailure because of those running it, starting with their "change" president (he was the only one that changed, this good-for-nothing phony) and his administration and going through the congress and senate, are incompetent, unqualified and petty wimps and cowards.
