“The Loser is always at fault”
Vasilii Nicolaevich Panov
M14 won the elections in Lebanon almost two weeks ago now, yet M8 are still finding excuses to justify their loss and desperatly trying to find some glimpse of a moral victory out of it.
No one beats the Aounists or Hezbollah at this game, as they have proven over the years how lousy they are at accepting defeat. Hezbollah even managed to convince his people after Israel practically destroyed the country during the July 06 war that this was a divine victory.
Not even David Copperfield managed to pull such a trick on his crowd.
What were the justifications of M8′s loss ??
- Political money: The Murr scandal was enough to convince the whole Aounist crowd that they did not lose the elections because money played its part. (Of course they all forgot Murr was their ally in 2005 and was doing the same things they accuse him of today).
- Sunnites votes : Aounists were outraged by Zahle results and accused M14 of fraud and moving voters in masses there. ( But they missed the fact that the increase in Shiite voters was almost as much as Sunnites in Zahle, and that Shiites made them win in Kisirwan, Baabda & Jbeil = 13 Mps)
- Virtual Majority: After accusing M14 of being a virtual majority in 2005, Hezbollah’s excuse is now that more people voted in total for M8 than M14. (Maybe someone should remind him that we abide by the constitution here, not Hezbollah’s laws)
- Blame the Patriarch: This is by far the cheapest argument and the filthiest. Aoun, Frangieh & Nasrallah attacking the Patriarch blaming him of taking sides and inciting him to respond. (But they seem to forget kam wa7ad 3ala achkeloun 2ati3 3al batrak, and the only response they will get from him is “Allah yehde el jamee3″)
However and surprisingly, no violent reactions were spotted yet, but who knows what to expect from those ?
HA’s terrorists & Aoun’s sheep will show their true image soon enough, either by taking the streets and causing riots, or invading DT again or maybe starting another war to achieve “divine victories” ON The lebanese people.
