Hillary Clinton has assured Lebanese President Michael Suleiman that the US will never sell out Lebanon.

BEIRUT (AP) — Ahead of an election that could oust the U.S.-backed Beirut government, America’s top diplomat said Sunday that Washington supports “voices of moderation” and never will make a deal [with] Syria that “sells out” Lebanon’s interests.

Following the news conference, Suleiman started packing his bags for an extended vacation in the south of France.
