Some Items


* If I had a Lira for every time Al-Akhbar Newspaper headlines that the opposition has a "surprise" up its sleeves, I'd be able to buy me a man2oushé. Still, can't blame the pro-Hezbollah newspaper for trying.

* Sanioura exposes another hard edge of March 14: If they close the airport's road, "what guarantees that our supporters won't close the ne3mé road to the South?". Ne3mé is a main artery to the Hezbollah South. (from Assafir)

* Nabih Berri shows an ankle of his alleged initiative (Albalad):
- The Hariri Tribunal is not sacred. The draft should be modified by the Lebanese government and signed by the President before it is sent to the UN.
-the opposition picks the kingpin minister in the 19-10-1 formation, but March 14 has to agree on him/her
-Go back to the 7iwar table to talk and talk and talk...
