A Lose/Lose Situation For Walid Jumblat

January 21, 2011 · Mustapha Hamoui

Blogger Oussama Hayek:

Whatever Jumblatt does today he is bound to anger half the Lebanese population. This is not a comfortable position for a small community like the Druze. He is damned if he supports Hariri, and he is damned if he does not support Hariri.

My guess is that he’ll choose to anger the half that won’t kill him if he made the wrong choice.
