General Michel Aoun launched today the National Christian Gathering. As I said before the idea is not bad, just that it pertains to a different time. President Suleiman did something similar and the impression is that the two men are in a contest. It is interesting to investigate, if Suleiman is in contest with Aoun or Aoun with Suleiman. I bet on the latter. More interesting details at Blacksmiths of Lebanon.
Now that the problem of Kuntar has been solved, what about the prisoners from the Syrian jails? I am actually looking forward to hear Sheikh Nasrallah asking their immediate release. After all, Syria is a sisterly/brotherly country. On a more serious note, this is a problem that has to be addressed at a state level, and March 14 group would better hurry up and do something about it. Dory Chamoun already asked what prevents Syrian allies in the country to ask Assad's regime to release the prisoners? I wonder…
Dr Geagea expects the formation of a cabinet in 24 hours. The rumour is that Aoun and March 14 found a common ground. We shall see. I’d not be surprised to see the 24 hours transformed in 24 days. Hopefully I am wrong.
