#1 Anti-Syrian firebrand? Nooooo, really? Ya don't say... How, um, familiar. Sorta goes hand in hand with this story on RB today and implies the Syrian regime, along with its puppet-masters over in Tehran, figures it has little left to lose. Obviously, subtlety is not the Syrian / MM strong suit - bombs are.
I'm thinking Mehlis is one smart cookie and retiring right about now is a very healthy choice.
I'm also thinking that Syria may not be very accommodating from here on out. And precisely what can the UN gonna do about it?
I'd offer popcorn, but it would have this MP's blood on it. Time for The Chinless Wonder & Co to go - down - hard - with extreme prejudice. Since they're supposedly on board with finding the truth here, anyone think the French will take care of it? Nah, me neither. Somehow I think we just might hit a green light at the next intersection. ;-) |
A car bomb explosion killed staunch anti-Syrian member of parliament and journalist Gebran Tueni in Beirut on Monday, police said. Three other people also died and 10 were wounded in the explosion that blew up Teuni's armoured SUV car as it was driving in the Mekalis area of mainly Christian east Beirut. At least three people inside the car were killed, their bodies charred beyond recognition, witnesses said. Tueni, who is also a prominent journalist, was a firebrand critic of Syria who was elected to parliament in this year's election. Several cars were set ablaze and nearby shops and buildings suffered damage. Police and soldiers cordoned off the area as rescue workers ferried casualties to hospitals.
