Did you see mini-Hariri on LBC-TV? Quite a show. He had difficulty understanding some of the questions. She asked him a question about "the Iraqization of Lebanon"--a reference that appeared in an official statement by March 14th today, and he went to give some weird rambling answer. May Shidyaq--ever protective of guests of March 14th--intervened to explain to him what Iraqization means. In another question, she asked him--albeit gingerly--about how Salafi extremist groups are operating in North Lebanon under the umbrella of the Hariri movement. He gave an odd answer about Nahr Al-Barid refugee camp and Khalid (sic) Al-`Amlah. But then again. Should I be upset that the successor to Rafiq Hariri is as incompetent, as unqualified, as clueless, as ill-informed as this guy?
