From Voltairenet.org:
Lebanese and Arab press focused today on the Lebanese army’s control of Nahr al-Bared camp and killing leader of Fatah Al-Islam group Shaker Al-Absi, and the importance of this event.
The press also focused on the conditions in Iraq and the unannounced visit of the US president George Bush to this country, which coincided with the British troops’ withdrawal from Basra.

Beirut (Lebanon)
Los Angeles Times said: every year or month president Bush cites a new reason to justify the invasion of Iraq, and the current reason is installing a democratic government in Iraq.
The International Herald Tribune said: in the last few years, Russia worked under president Vladimir Putin’s leadership to convey a crystal clear message to the West, which says Russia is no longer this submissive state which depended on the West since the collapse of the Soviet Union, pointing out that possessing huge amounts of gas and oil has pushed Russia to adopt strong foreign policies.
Al-Bayan said in its editorial that a second strand of hope appeared to enhance the hopes for solving the Lebanese crisis which is the army’s termination of Naher Al-Bared camp’s battle.
The Saudi paper Al-Watan said President Bush’s surprising visit to Iraq enhances the circulated predictions concerning the plans of the US forces withdrawal from Iraq, pointing out that this visit suggests that Bush may submit finally to Baker-Hamilton recommendations concerning Iraq.
The British paper The Independent published an article for Patrick Cockburn, the expert in Iraq’s affairs, who said the British forces’ withdrawal from Basra is the beginning of the end of a useless invasion.
