First thing on the list---nobody in that room should be on that committee, nor should any Lebanese at least at the beginning. If you are going to appoint your own cronies, then the problem will never get solved.
Yay--another useless law passed with no teeth.

This is too funny. The Fox watching over the hen house. What a Joke. In order to recover the public funds the MBS strategy works best here. Anything else is a waste of time and more waste of public funds...
