Well it is a pity they don't think about it since electing Berri does not just mean electing a war criminal but also giving more leverage to the organization he heads and hence better positioning it to affect policies that affect the people ........ And I don't think AMAL movement is any better than [etc, etc, etc ........] ......

sanfour, you are treating Berri as one of the loyalists... Which he is not !!! Amal was in the heart of 7 ayyar, they are still on our side... Don't take anything for granted (elections wise), we have a big fight ahead.

PS: HA will never break with Amal, we share the same territory and have no interest in conflict bi manate2na...

Here's my scenario for how Berri does not end up as Speaker after the elections:

The opposition ends up with a slight majority of 4-6 seats. As a condition for joining the government, the March 14 group insists on Saad Hariri as prime minister. Aoun refuses. Negotiations back and forth and attempts by the opposition to convince Mikati or Safadi to accept the post fail as they line up with Hariri. Things drag on with the Saniora caretaker government increasingly fractious and unable to manage the country’s affairs. The opposition then gives up on the unity government and tries to push Salim el Hoss as prime minister. He accepts but then President Suleiman refuses to proceed with the mandatory parliamentary consultations to name the prime minister citing concerns about violation of the national pact and preservation of unity. This turns up the pressure more leading to security breakdowns in Beirut, the Bekaa, and the north. Hezbollah and Amal try to push Aoun one last time to accept Hariri but the General refuses to budge. The threat of things spiralling out of control brings in the Arab League, and more decisively, the Emir of Qatar. After intense negotiations, the Qataris come up with a final compromise solution in which Mikati is prime minister, and Berri forgoes the parliament speaker post in favour of an opposition Shiite from outside Amal and HA. In this way, neither the Sunnis get their largest representative as prime minister nor the Shiites get theirs as speaker. This is considered a huge win for Aoun who gets rid of Hariri and Berri in one swoop (and might even get a C&R Shiite as speaker, although that one is a long shot!).

What do you think?

What do you think?

What would GMA be wearing when he refuses Hariri and how much do you charge per hour, less or more than Michel Hayek?

Alas, my soothsaying talents cannot match your gift for sarcasm so it shall remain free.

I think that the speaker and the PM would be new and never seen before in their new posts.
