Mini-Hariri in Damascus
What do you say about this man? I mean, I know that he is a clueless, incompetent, bumbling, unqualified, ill-informed, ignorant, semi-illiterate, and wittyless buffoon, but this is a man who for years accused Bashshar Al-Asad and his regime of masterminding the murder of his daddy, whose picture he seats next to him, literally as Joe Biden would add at the end of every sentence. House of Saud ordered him to go, and he went, no questions asked. He showered him with kisses upon arrival. Of course, I never had any love or respect for this lousy Hariri family, whose harm on Lebanon and beyond has become comparable to the harm that has been inflicted by the Gemayyel family on Lebanon and beyond. And the Hariri media's tone toward Syria has changed over night, just as the tone of the Saudi media toward Syria changed overnight as soon as King `Abdullah landed in Damascus.
