Hahaha, didn’t I tell you!
Army Commander General Michel Sleiman told the Lebanese daily As-Safir that he has had enough with the ongoing squabble over his role as Lebanon’s consensus presidential candidate and said that the delay of his election pending an internal agreement has started to offend him.
Sleiman said he will not wait until the end of his term as army commander on November 21, 2008 to leave office, but will resign on August 21.
“I have informed the military council of my decision, and it is final,” Sleiman told the daily. Source

Hahaha. Ik moest al aan je denken toen ik 't hoorde op 't nieuws :)
Good call S!
BTW, the journalist you quoted was wrong when saying Suleiman will leave before his time. As it was reported by Naharnet, he is taking his unused vacation days and thus still will be officially in office until the expiry of his term.
In other words, he still would be the commander-in-chief and he would be called back from his vacation if anything serious would happen.
