سلام يؤكد استمرار المشاورات الحكومية مع 8 آذار

@the1, I am afraid you've been watching the same movie for such a long time it has left an imprint which keeps you from calling it like it is. I am not criticizing you, rather I empathize. My friend, there comes a time when folks like Salam have to make a decision to either have a bowel movement or get off the pot so another person can have a go (I am trying to keep the post clean so it doesn't get deleted, but I think you get the point). It take courage to do what needs to be done and forming a government devoid of M8 and M14 is what is needed now to save this country from this nightmare. There is no room for fear and hesitation, Salam must submit his formula with names outside M and let the chips fall where they may. As to the "silver linings", I stopped believing in Santa when I was eleven...now is the time for real men to do real courageous work...save the country and the people.

Bandoul and phoenix, Tammam Salam can not form a cabinet of technocrats even if that is what he wishes most of all because Jumblatt will block it when it goes to Parliament. So what is the point in that? He is a great man but they have tied his hands behind his back.

@min-canada, it is precisely the point that the opportunity is NOW to form a government not beholden to any foreign power regardless of the winner of this foreign conflict. This way we can be at equal distance from all sides. For as long as I can remember our government was formed outside our country. How has that worked out for us in the past? Isn't it time for a new approach? My big brother @the1 is very wise because he lived the horrors of past political mistakes...
