  3. Give his rotting corpse to Assad so that a SAA pilot can drop it like a bomb on his buddies. A stink bomb it would probably be.

  5. It is always interesting how fast those that raise a hand against Hezbollah or Iran are caught by the Lebanese Security Forces. However, those that have killed important senior Lebanese figures like Hariri, Hassan and Shatah have not yet been caught by the Lebanese Security Forces. This really makes one wonder whose side these Lebanese government forces are really on.
