Playing Dirty (And Stupid)

February 24, 2011 · Mustapha Hamoui

M.P. Oqab Sakr on why Aoun shouldn’t get the Ministry of Interior:

How can the Interior Ministry portfolio be given to a party which defended Israeli collaborators?

What kind of silly argument is this? So it’s okay for a party “which defended Israeli collaborators” to have 10 Lebanese cabinet seats, including probably defense and energy, but it’s not okay to get the ministry of interior?

This argument is not just a hit below the belt, it’s stupid.
