The State Department referred questions to Korea? This is crazy. DURHAM D Nov 2012 #16
Yes, I though she was sort of a voluntary liason btw LEBANESE nationals and the military. JimDandy Nov 2012 #36
NOTE: We're talking about Florida here flamingdem Nov 2012 #38
True, true. JimDandy Nov 2012 #45

As I posted earlier, apparently this is legit stevenleser Nov 2012 #56
I wonder how many states issue that sort of tag. DURHAM D Nov 2012 #57
I'm guessing all states would/can issue consular tags. Diplomatic tags I think are a different story stevenleser Nov 2012 #63
In some related article it indicated that the Generals helped her get this post flamingdem Nov 2012 #60

There are quite a few of these Lebanese "honorary consuls" around the world. MADem Nov 2012 #99
Twice as many Israeli "honorary consuls"! What does it mean? Poll_Blind Nov 2012 #103
It's a bifurcated effort, I think. MADem Nov 2012 #147
Or maybe it's not about "Lebanese" or "Israeli" at all, just individuals. nt Poll_Blind Nov 2012 #149
