Lebanese supporters of the Christian Phalangist and Lebanese Forces parties celebrate their victory in the central Lebanese city of Zahleh in the Bekaa valley on June 8, 2009. Lebanon was anxiously awaiting the results of a hotly-contested election on Sunday that could see an alliance led by the Hezbollah militant group unseat the pro-Western majority in parliament. (Sky News-AFP/Getty Images)Lebanese voters reject Iran, Syria and Hezbollah:
Lebanon's Western-backed coalition has claimed a surprise victory in the country's parliamentary elections.Party on hot Lebanese girls and have a drink on behalf of the Infidel Bloggers Alliance and myself, personally!!!
There was widespread speculation that the hard line Shi'ite group Hezbollah could upstage the vote.
But Hezbollah's leaders have so far accepted the results, making conciliatory comments and urging stability in the region.
Interior Minister Ziad Baroud announced the results from all 26 districts, which showed the coalition won 68 seats in the 128-member assembly.
Supporters of the coalition celebrated for hours after voters renewed their majority in parliament four years after the "Cedar Revolution" that helped drive Syria's army out of Lebanon.
The outcome was a blow to Syria and Iran, which support Hezbollah.
But it was welcome news for the US, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, which back the "March 14" group, named after the date of a huge rally against Syria's military presence in 2005.Hezbollah and its allies swept the vote in mainly Shi'ite areas, but defeat of their Christian ally, Michel Aoun, in two key districts deprived the alliance of the majority many had predicted.
Saad al-Hariri, the Sunni Muslim leader of "March 14", emerged from the poll as front-runner to lead the new government and follow in the footsteps of his assassinated father Rafik al-Hariri."Congratulations to Lebanon, congratulations to democracy, congratulations to freedom," the billionaire politician said in a victory speech at his mansion in Beirut.
"There are no winners and losers in this election, the only winner is democracy and the biggest winner is Lebanon."
The United States, which lists Hezbollah as a terrorist group, has linked future aid to Lebanon to the shape and policies of the next government.

Oh, wow!
I didn't expect this result.
I did not either...more foxy honorary IBA members!!! LOL
Like Berlusconi likes to say, the hottest women are on the right!!!
Best news we've had in a long time.
And a helluva spit in the eye to Syria and Iran.
Now if only our president would grow a set and spit in their eye as well. . .
Great news. And, every time I see photos of Lebanese women partying in the street I think, I want to move to Lebanon.
It would be a beautiful place, if it weren't for all the Muslim fascists.
"every time I see photos of Lebanese women partying in the street I think, I want to move to Lebanon."
My sentiments exactly Pastorius...
There is a small but influential segment of the Cuban exile community which is of Lebanese descent, Maronite Catholics.
They tend to quite industrious!
and I do believe selma hayak is half lebanese half mexican and she has been a top hotty for many years.
Carlos,
You said: There is a small but influential segment of the Cuban exile community which is of Lebanese descent, Maronite Catholics.
I say; Oh, now I know why I like Cuban women so much.
My wife has a friend who's from El Salvador, but she clearly has some sort of ME blood in her as well. She is one of the most beautiful women I have ever met. And yes, sadly, she is my wife's friend, which means I have to see her more than I care to.
(It's not that much fun having that kind of beauty in your face, when you can't have it - or at least, that's the way I feel about it).
By the way, what was the subject of this post again?
Anyone else ever notice that the Christian Lebanese women are, by enlarge, attractive while the Shiite Hezballoid women make Angler Fish look like super models?
Now THAT'S Funny!
Then I guess the byline on this story could be "Lebanon Rejects Ugly Jihadist Bitches Too"
Pastorius,
You're right, this is good news.
Its too early to say, but do you think that this could be a turning point in the war on terror?
Damien,
Sadly, I have to say I do not believe this is, at all, a turning point in the War on Terror. This is not the first time Lebanon has elected a moderate government when given the opportunity. However, as I understand it, this is the first time Hizbollah has come so close to gaining power.
In other words, the momentum is against us in Lebanon, as far as I know.
However, on the other hand, I do think the EU Parliament election is a turning point in the War. Although, I think it is not nearly as big a deal as others are making it out to be.
Hard to predict Lebanon, few car bombs and another election. I really feel for them would prefer to see more photos from Lebanon looking more like the last one rather than showing a burka non-person behind some rubble.
andre79,
Just remember that is part of the Jihadists depraved vision of the world. It will help keep you motivated.
I just thought you fascists might like to know that the woman in the second picture (dancing in front of the guy with the big drum) is a hizbollah supporter. Well done guys, well done.
Oh yeah and the cute girl in the third pic wearing the green is a supporter of the marada party, which was allied to hizbollah in the last election. And the free patriotic movement, a large and mainstream maronite catholic party, was also allied to hizbollah in the previous polls. God bless democracy
