Lebanon’s MP’s and other courageous Harirista resistants of the eleventh hour got their current jobs under the auspices of an illegal electoral law spiced with a heavy dose of Gerrymander that was cooked in the dirty political kitchens of Saudistan and backed at gun point by the Syrian regime- recall: the moustached martyr millionaire and Gen. Ghazi Canaan were best pals in the merry halcyon days of faux sheikh Rafiq and his collaborationist friends…

Caramba!
Viva la Revolución
Viva el General Aoun
Viva el General Alcázar
Viva el Coronel Chávez
Y el Capitán Tintín

It's really amazing, especially when you know that the presidential elections are to be held in two years. The Christians will have nothing to negotiate by then. This is really a short-sighted policy. They didn’t even get substantial concession from Lahoud.

They should have secured a deal with the FM instead of protecting a guy like Lahoud. It is a mistake. The patriarch's parochial behaviour is disappointing. I completely agree.

Cardinal Nasrallah Sfeir actually did precisely what he had to do when he backed President Lahoud against the vile ad-hominem attacks and other overtly anti-Christian slurs coming from Riyadh and TeX-Aviv!
