Hariri on the verge of a nervous breakdown?
The Lebanese news site Naharnet is quoting a Yediot Aharonot (Hebrew) report that Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri is on the verge of a nervous breakdown and may flee the country. The Israeli Yionot Ahronot paper reported on Tuesday that individuals close to Prime Minister Saad Hariri have relayed to the U.S., France, and Saudi Arabia warnings that he is on the brink of a nervous breakdown as a result of the pressure being exerted on him over the Special Tribunal for Lebanon's report on the assassination of his father.Hmmm.
The paper mentioned that the premier may go into hiding or leave Lebanon in wake of threats against his life that he may receive.
It said that Hariri is being pressured by the U.S. and France to announce the STL's finding and ignore Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's threats of strife in Lebanon.
Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, has joined Iranian-Syrian pressure to prevent Hariri from announcing the findings and instead deem it as a "conspiracy aimed at destroying Lebanon," the paper reported.

That's just great. The US and France, who both helped to pressure Israel into a cease fire in 2006 and who advocated for UN1701 - which did NOTHING to declaw Hezbollah - are now concerned about Hezbollah running amok in Lebanon? A bit late, aren't they? Horse, barn door, all that?
