The US/Saudi Shi`ite candidate in Lebanon

In the last 2009 Parliamentary election, the US and Saudi Arabia had a brilliant scheme. They threw tons of money to the son of Shi`ite Za`im, Kamil Al-As`ad, whose influence ended by the time the civil war started in Lebanon.  But the US and Saudi Arabia had other plans.  So Ahmad Al-As`ad received millions to beat Hizbullah and Amal in South Lebanon.  If you consult the valuable Lebanese Elections Encyclopedia 2009 by comrade Kamal Fghali you will find that the dude received 1.8% of the Shi`ite vote in South Lebanon.
