Lebanon Christmas gift

I guess in the season of Christmas in Lebanon , the suitable gift to Lebanon is a president ,it is not only the Christmas gift but the grand Eid gift too .

Seriously finding the next Lebanese President to occupy the empty chair will be the miracle of Christmas not the gift in fact

First we had the problem of finding the suitable man  whom all the parties agree upon

The problem is solved after choosing the commander of the army Michel Soliman

The man is supported by everyone including the 14th of March surprisingly as he turned to be well known hater to Israel and supporter to Hezbollah.

Hezbollah is supporting the man 100% from the beginning yet they put themselves in a hard position when they decided to go along with Michel Aoun , you say that this is the price they would pay , because already Aoun wants to himself so much and he would not give it too easily without a fight

The rest of the opposition and forces in Lebanon said yes for Soliman especially the man is independent and isolated away from all the parties in Lebanon.

Second the new problem , it turned out according to the Lebanese constitution he can't be the president until he resigns from the army to become a civilian and one year must passed after his resignation , in other words according to the current constitution Soliman can't be the president unless he resigns and stays for a year away from the army , that is till December 2008 !!

Of course now the Lebanese parliament decided by miracle to gather in order to change this amendment in the constitution in order to let Soliman be the president without any waiting period

Already Soliman till now did not resign from his position , the man is intelligent , a bird in the hand is better thousands on the tree

A clever move especially he knows very well that the older General can destroy all his plans and hopes to become a president and that's what is happening already and this is the third newer problem

Now Aoun is saying that he supports Soliman on the condition that the 14th of March accepts his proposal/initiative , yes the one that about a temporary President with a transitional unity cabinet for two years period  till the next parliament election

I do not know if that is a threat or what , either they accept his initiative or he won't accept the man dragging all the opposition "which wants the man" with him

Aoun will die to become the president and if he insists on his stubborn position then he may lose his allies , they won't and give damn . Already this is a golden opportunity , America and France welcomed Soliman as a President in a nice gesture towards Damascus

Updated: Soliman met with the General today , it seems that things are getting better thank God

The Lebanese Parliament is going to meet on next 7th of December Friday 2007 to change the required amendments

By the way the Press in Egyptian is saying what I said earlier regarding the Egyptian role in the Lebanese crisis and the Egyptian support to Soliman
