"Karami began his consultations with parliament bloc leaders to form a national unity government on Tuesday. He is on record that he would quit if the opposition remains adamant about rejecting his premiership."
"The opposition has declared it would ask Karami to pledge to sack State Prosecutor Adnan Addoum plus the six commanding generals of Lebanon’s principal intelligence and security services as a precondition to support or join his new government."
LOL, fat chance that Karami is going to get rid of all these goons. I noticed signs calling for this in yesterday's rally, and signs calling for Lahoud to get out as well.
"This demand is strongly opposed by President Lahoud, who had handpicked all seven men to their posts and defended them against opposition charges that they had created a “police state of secret service phantoms” during the past six years of a steady drift into a reign of terror in the country."
It will be VERY interesting to see what that UN report says (yeah, I know, it's a UN report, yawn) but so far the "hints" about it claim that the UN is going to show Syria and ProSyria Lebanonese government folks involved with Hariri's death. That will just be more fuel to the fire for FReedom!
Morning news in Beirut (GMT +2): Karami waits for the return of Sfeir to quit. Next in line is the pro-syrian minister Murad.
The opposition is inflexible in its demands and Karami is not able to 'deliver'.
More and more christian MP's are asking the departure of Lahoud.
