Mr. Mishel Kilu visited Saudi Arabia and--according to today's As-Safir--bragged that Bandar sent him a private jet to summon him--met with Prince Bandar. Mr. Kilu heads the new "liberal" faction that recently joined the Syrian Coalition at the behest of Saudi Arabia. I am not making this up: but the coalition is now divided among the Muslim Brotherhood (supported by Qatari) and the "liberals" and Salafis (both supported by Saudi Arabia). He was asked whether it is true that he is supported financially and politically by Saudi Arabia, and he answered: "I did go to Saudi Arabia and met with Bandar but there is no political or financial support." Kilu almost added that Bandar summoned him to ask him for a loan and that Kilu extended the loan to Bandar. Kilu should have added that the meeting was purely intellectual. This is the quality of leaders of the Syrian "revolution". You expect me to support this ilk? (thanks Ahmad)
