Aoun criticizes Jumblatt's alliance with Saad Hariri
2005-05-17
Former Lebanese Army General Michel Aoun attacked Chouf MP Walid Jumblatt and Saad Hariri, son of slain Premier Rafik Hariri Monday, saying they were "not better than former Syrian intelligence commander in Lebanon Rustom Ghazaleh." Talking late Monday night to the Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation, Aoun said: "They (Jumblatt and Rafik Hariri) were the students of Ghazaleh, and they were part of his security regime for long time by ignoring his practices, which makes them as bad as he was." Aoun, who has fallen out with the Druze leader following his return from 15 years of exile in France, added: "They call themselves the opposition now, when in fact they did not even call for Lebanon's independence.

#7  Nelson's "peak moment" is on this All-Time Greatest Hits of The Finger page, lol. It's the only thing about him which ever "connected" with me - except he married someone named Happy, that was pretty cool, heh.

#3  LH... right, but that doesn't make what Aoun said about Hariri wrong. I always found the idea of Hariri, saint of the little man, tough to swallow.

#2  Aoun took support from Saddam Hussein against the Syrians in the past. Now hes plugging a "we are the Maronites, we dont need any stinkin' allies" line? I think this guy is more of a wild card than Wally Jumblatt.

#1  hmmm...makes sense to me. hariri's cozy associations and billions always made him seem suspect to me.
