Fleeting Glances


Hariri and Aoun stand to benefit a lot from each other, will it ever Happen?


Aoun’s website has a small side news story: Saad Hariri has met one of his delegates in Paris. In the demo yesterday, there were some orange flags amid the LF and Future ones. Yesterday, Aoun reacted differently to May Chidiac’s assassination bid than he did to Elias el Murr’s one. He is keeping noticeable distance from Lahhoud. Is anything happening that we’re not aware of?

The Footsoldiers of Aoun and of Hariri are deeply skeptical of each other. But the leaders seem to be aware how important it is for them to get together (remember the famous "we have 95% in common between us"?).

Will it happen? Not before the spoilers are silenced.
