The French president, through his ambassador in Beirut, has just awarded Lebanese minister Muhammad Safadi a very high French medal. Now this minister, does not know French, has probably never read a book in his life, and his former advisors told me stories about his ignorance and incompetence, but he has 1 $billion. That can only mean one thing to me: he must have (reportedly) given illegal funds to Chirac's campaigns over the years, especially that this Safadi is a business partner with the new Saudi ambassador in US (prince Turki Al-Faysal). Where is Robespierre when you need him?
