    The Sunnis did not vote for him in his hometown!! Nasrallah and Aoun have the audacity to nominate the office of the Sunni leader, and then they wonder why the sunnis are mad. They create rifts amongst people and then they wonder why. Have they no shame?

  3. The sunnis want Hariri to represent them and most of the Lebanese as per the elections wanted him to be the Prime Minister, so it not up to the Shiites or to part of Aoun Christians to decide on this Sunni Post in the Goverment. Omar Karami is not the Sunnis first, second or even third choice to replace Hariri, so forget it.

    HA and Aoun want to have a puppet in this position, Hariri actually had the courage not to bow down to them and submit to all their demands despite the fact they have threated his PM position and even at some instances his life, I salut you Saad Hariri

    Some people on this thread are misinformed. The prime mister position is reserved for the Sunnis and not for the Hariris. Therefore all MPs have the right to nominate whoever they want as long as the nominee is Sunni. I think Hariri should run as well as Karami or maybe JadM too. I don’t like this Karami dude because the Karamis loyalty was not always pro Lebanon. They supported the PLO when it was in Beirut and supported the Syrians as well. The same thing can be said about the Hariris and the Sanioras. I think Aoun should nominate an unknown Sunni maybe someone that live in the US like my freind Riad Khaleed.

    1. ok ok ok I will run for PM ….stop nagging over my head….so when i become PM I will be probably killed after few hours and Hariri will come in place ….so to cut a long story short just let him be a PM again. The PM post is not exclusive to Hariri but he is the man that is most suitable for this position at this point…

      O. Karami knows that the Syrian killed his Brother, he sold his family for his own gain and his gangs, inside information tells that resent bomb threat was to bring attention to him, and for him align with those that can kill him too.
