Many of you have read or heard about what happened during the meeting of the Council of Ministers. Where are those who spoke about the "unity" of the Lebanese people? Were are those who cheered the "Cedar" Revolution? Among the various insults exchanged, Lahhud addressed the Minister of Ping Pong, Ahmad Fatfat. Fatfat (the etymology is an Arabic verb, to crush into small pieces). So Lahhud told Fatfat, "Ana rah fatiftak." (I shall crush you into small pieces). Fatfat, I kid you not, immediately called the head of the UN committee that is investigating the Hariri assassination and told him that Lahhud wants to kill him just as he had killed Hariri.
