    so the first lady has come out from the woodwork…. no one is hearing anything from her…isn’t she supposed to be working for a social cause or something after her husband became president?….el 3ama everybody in lebanon seems to be contented to recieve money without putiing the hard yakka in.

    anyway

    so the president going to NY…and anywhere else for that matter…to do what? lie to the international community that his country is not going to step outside its commitments and that lebann is an independent sovereign country that gives promises it can keep?…..well everybody knows that’s not right….then why is the president going there for? oh yes….it’s because of protocol since lebanon is going to head the UN for a month…..

    this visit will be an embaressment for him more then to anyone else i rekon, he should stay in lebanon and wait until the ‘storm” clears out…to save face nothing more.
