I wish this guy luck as he enters the den of vipers. I'll even forgive him for spending much of his exile in France. After all, a lot of world leaders like to vacation there, such as Hitler.

Now that is an accurate title because some other MSM articles portrayed General Aoun as an ally to Syria because among 34 candidates he supported in yesterday Lebanese parliamentary election, only one guy was an ally to Syria, and Aoun did for pure local politics. The truth is that General Aoun is the most anti-Syrian politician in Lebanon because he fought Syria militarily for 2 years 1988-1990 before he was overthrown by Syria and exiled for 15 years.

I thought the other day, they said pro-Syrian parties would win.

Have a nice day, Bashar!

OK, now BBC says something different.

Among other things, they say that "Mr Aoun, a long-term critic of Syria, demanded the issue of Syrian influence in Lebanon be put aside and allied himself with pro-Syria candidates."

Additionally, "Mr Aoun's victory is a blow to the main anti-Syrian opposition, which could now be denied a majority in the parliament."

Is this good news?

The media doesn't have a clue who this guy is. I've seen stories describing him as anti-syrian and other stories describing him as pro syrian. Are they just guessing?
