“French President Francois Hollande will meet former Prime Minister Saad Hariri and Syrian opposition leader Ahmed Jarba in Saudi Arabia, where he arrived Sunday, said a member of his entourage. The meeting with Hariri, a fierce critic of the Syrian regime, comes amid heightening tensions in Lebanon after the assassination of his close aide, former Finance Minister Mohammad Shatah, in a car bomb on Friday in Beirut……… Hollande called for the respect of “constitutional deadlines” in Lebanon, starting with “holding presidential elections in May 2014…………..”
Expect the “socialist” president of France to spend more time in Saudi Arabia. Certainly much more than the conservative Nicolas Sarkozy did. The latter reportedly couldn’t stand visiting the princes, although he went through the motions (as in “close your eyes and think of France!“).
Francois Hollande, France’s right-wing socialist president, is already getting some financial payback from the Saudi princes. He is getting paid back for his earlier attempt to block the nuclear deal with Iran and his support for the right-wing Saudi proxies of Hariri and his allies in Lebanon and the Jihadis in Syria. The Saudi ruling family has announced a US$ 3 billion weapons aid for Lebanese army, to be supplied by France.
Any day now the socialist Hollande could announce publicly that the Wahhabi theocratic system of absolute tribal one-family rule represents the best principles of the French Revolution. That it enshrines the common values that join the socialists of France and the quasi-feudal princes of the Arabian Peninsula. Hollande would urge the rival factions in Lebanon and Syria to unite, join under the banner of socialist Wahhabism, under the Saudi leadership of Hariri and Jarba. He may announce that the long-defunct French revolutionary guillotine was a direct tribal descendant of the Saudi executioner’s sword, still actively chopping subversive and occult heads and hands every Friday afternoon in Saudi public squares.
