Thank you Sanfour. Sleiman is the result of a US, Saudi, Syrian, Iranian, Lebanese deal (the Lebanese being the weakest factor in this equation). Let us not loose sight of the recent talk by the Saudi King about Saudi and Syria will become good friends again and very soon.
So, whatever Sleiman does, is most likely blessed by Aoun's allies, otherwise Sleiman is creating himself major enemies and will definitely fail since in such a face off, him and Aoun will be the only losers.
My feeling is there is a level of unjustified panic in this thread since a Slaiman vs Aoun in the coming election would mean a serious dismemberment of the opposition, and even if Sleiman is in agreement with HA/Amal, him facing Aoun will only serve to defeat both for the benefit of Harriri. HA/Amal and Harriri may be trying to get along right now, but there is no way HA/Amal will put Harriri in a winning position again, not after what happened after the 2005 electoral alliance from stabbing HA in the back.
