I Don’t Have a Problem With Mikati Becoming PM

January 25, 2011 · Mustapha Hamoui

My biggest problem is with the fact that he’s calling himself a consensus candidate. This is a flat lie.

There’s a difference between a real consensus candidate, and a candidate falsely being marketed as consensus candidate. A consensus requires all sides to sign off. This man has the approval of only one side of this battle, that of Hezbollah. His main job is to provide cover for the “resistance”.

Today’s demonstrations are all about telling the world: The next Prime Minister is not the man he says he is. He’s an impostor.
