Lebanon 'only talks'Barrack opened by venting at Lebanon's political leadership, accusing them of doing nothing while Hezbollah rebuilt after last year's war. "I would say the Lebanese, and I don't mean this in a disrespectful way, all they do is talk," he said. "The Lebanese government, if they want to get back on track, has to say 'We're going to disarm Hezbollah'." Barrack said Washington was equipping Lebanon's army not to confront Israel, but to confront Hezbollah. Peace 'an illusion'Turning to the broader region, Barrack dismissed the idea that the United States was working towards peace.
