Today, Iraqi puppet prime ministers lashed out at French foreign minister, and two Democratic Senators. He said that Iraq is not a village of the US. Oh, no it is: take a look out your window, o puppet prime minister. And a person who serves both the US and Iranian governments is [...]

My sources suspect an under-the-table deal being prepared between Hizbullah and Hariri Inc (mirroring a deal between [...]

I was informed that I am still blocked in Syria. Let me see if this will remove the block: how much money did the Makhluf family embezzle from Syria? The Syrian government now wants to convince us that `Abdul-Halim Khaddam was the only corrupt official in the country.

The most stupid interview: in the New York Times Magazine. Here is by far the most stupid interview. Let us begin with an intelligent foreign policy question:“Didn’t President Ahmadinejad begin his career as one of the guards? In photographs, I always think he looks more like a homely professor than a tyrant. Yes. [...]

انتصار العقيدة الكتائبيّة

تأتي الحروب أحياناً بنتائج معاكسة لنتائج المواجهات العسكرية في الميدان. ويقال عن صراعات الحروب الأهلية في ‏جبل لبنان في القرن التاسع عشر إنّ الطرف المنتصر عسكرياً ينتهي أحياناً مهزوماً سياسياً، والعكس صحيح.
