Never doubted that Assad and Bassil are the same person living in two bodies. From day one Bassil's manners, actions, arrogance and ignorance were perfect fit for a Syrian Mukhabarat. Maybe Bassil can remind Assad that Saudi and Iraqi pipelines used to cross Syrian territory into Zahrani and Tripoli providing oil for local use and for export avoiding expensive canal Suez fees. Lebanon should demand these pipelines be restored and Syria should get reasonable fees. We have lost many good paying jobs by closing these pipelines. Would any reporter ask Don Quixote Bassil on the purpose of his trip and if this vital issue to Lebanese economy or border demarcation were discussed?

When the whole world is distancing itself from this criminal regime and its leader, We see Aoun send his "mircale" child son-in-law to meet Assad! I am sure the syrian brave people will remember this and reward aoun and his allies accordingly.

Bassil... by visiting Assad you are legitimizing him. This insults the "self-actualization, dignity and freedom" aspirations of Syrian citizens. History could and should judge you harshly.
I rarely speak about politics, but my moral instinct feels Assad has gone too far. I am shocked at the tactics used in the security crack-down.

Why are Assad and Bassil discussing the situations in Lebanon again, are Bassil and 3ammo trying to live the Syrian occupation they missed on when Aoun ran away?

If our expert ministers concentrate on their job descriptions and functions, Lebanon will improve dramatically and grow faster than ever.
But everyone in the government or Parliament wants to discuss the so called regional problems, with other countries leaders and officials ( majority on the way out by their own people, we are becoming the Joke of the century.
