#2 scorecard

Hezb(Shiite Islamofacscist)-Amal(slightly more sane Shiite)-SSNP(secular proSyrian Fascist)-Aoun and Franjieh (renegade Maronites) vs Harirri supporters (Sunni) Geaga (Mainstream Maronites)

Only surprise (to me) is Franjieh, but I dont really follow them. And no mention of the Druze and Jumblatt, but they have to be with the govt and against Hezb.

Ive said here before the Aoun is not to be trusted.

#3 Aoun showed that by siding with Nasrallah

#5 The MSM isn't moving on this story. They're missing a big one.

If the MSM moves on it, that might mean distracting Congress from their agenda.
