Ambassador-designate David Hale arrived in Lebanon on Thursday following confirmation of his appointment by the U.S. Senate on August 1.
Upon his arrival, he said: “I return at a time when there are serious political and security challenges facing Lebanon and the broader region, but I know that the people of Lebanon remain committed, as they were a quarter a century ago, to maintaining true independence, unity, prosperity, and security throughout the entire country.”
“I am very honored and pleased to return Lebanon, a country I first set foot in 25 years ago as a young diplomat,” he added.
“This work continues, as does the effort to build strong state institutions accountable to all Lebanese.,” he continued.
“My goal as ambassador is to ensure that the U.S. Embassy remains a partner with the Lebanese people in this effort because we share those goals for Lebanon as well,” he remarked.
“I look forward to resuming work in Lebanon, reinvigorating ties to Lebanese friends, and working together to meet the pressing challenges ahead,” Hale concluded.
He succeeds Maura Connelly who served as U.S. ambassador to Lebanon from 2010 to 2013.

The secret world government (the controllers behind governments) has long been planning to pit Sunnis against Shiites to trigger a world war. So far their plan seems to be underway. The only means we have to stop them is for every individual on the planet to go "on strike" and no longer participate with the brainwashing being dished out. Every soldier needs to quit these armies, everyone ought to withdraw their money from banks. We need to withdraw our energy from this system that's destroying people everywhere. When one part of the world is in trouble we are all in trouble. We need to rid the world of these few 'evil' at the top causing the world's misery. Life can easily be good for every individual but we have a wicked few who aim to cause never ending turmoil for the world's people through calculated and covert ways. The plan is covert because if they were open they'd fail since no person would participate. It's crucial to be friends with each other for peace to begin.

Then why don't the Sunnis and Shiites unite and resist this big plan to undermine the Islam religion. One of those Ottoman Empire butchers said something like this a while back: "If you target one sect of Arabs, they'll unite and fight and fight you back, but if you leave them alone, they'll kill each other". Look it, today Islam is committing almost all terrorist activities in the world and/or butchering innocent people under the name of Islam. But wait ..., not all Islam. Yes, yes, yes we know but the rest of Islam is allowing this to happen. So it is your responsibility to yourself, your family, country, honor, dignity, to round up all these fanatics, extremists, criminal minded Islamist, and showcase them in the middle of your town centers to set an example for all others who think that they can take your religion hostage and undermine the sacred principal of Islam.

And may you are correct, and your enemies are conspiring as you say "to pit Sunnis against Shiite a world wary", and your enemies purposely put these criminal minded, extremist Mullahs and Imams in your countries, cities, towns and school to brain wash you thinking that they are teaching you the wisdom of God, but in fact they are preparing you to fight and kill each other.

He is not ambassador-designate. He is ambassador. Period. He was ambassador-designate before Senate confirmation. Welcome to Lebanon, Ambassador Hale, where English is a poorly spoken foreign language.

He does not look very happy. Lets see how David Hale attempts to balance and satisfy United States' National Security Interests (don't you love these words of art?), concerns of regional, mostly unfriendly and unreliable, allies who don't trust one another, and, oh yes, Lebanon's interests. If you set your religious differences aside, and pretend neither Iran nor Saudi Arabia has any significance to the sands of the deserted deserts, what would you like to see or ask from the U.S. for purely Lebanese Interests?
