إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

President Michel Suleiman might head to a short visit to Saudi Arabia ahead of a private vacation that he will spend in Europe, al-Joumhouria reported on Wednesday.

According to the report, the president will kick start his vacation on August 18 which will last until the 28th.

Meanwhile, the political scene in the country seems to be calm as Speaker Nabih Berri traveled on Monday on a family vacation and caretaker Prime Minister Najib Miqati, who is also on vacation since last week.

PM-designate Tammam Salam returned to Lebanon on Tuesday after a vacation in Switzerland.

The cabinet formation process remains at impasse as the political scene in the country seems to be at a deadlock.

Salam is seeking the formation of a 24-member cabinet in which the March 8, March 14 and the centrists camps would each get eight ministers and rejects to grant the veto power to any side.

The March 8 alliance has meanwhile been demanding that it granted veto power in a new cabinet, which the premier-designate has repeatedly rejected.

The March 14 coalition is calling for keeping Hizbullah away from the cabinet over its role in Syria's war.

We the Lebanese are so proud of all of you, the political class in Lebanon. You truly are so classy. It is so nice to hear the Speaker, the PM, the PM designate, the President are all going or returning from family holidays in Europe. The country is fine, the people are fine, and the economy could not be much better. As for me and Alona, we are planning to join Barak and Michele for a private holiday on Martha's Vineyard this weekend.:))

Our great good-for-nothing corrupt beggar president-by-parachute is due for a private vacation after a public vacation that has lasted five and a half crucial years in the life of a country, may God bless him and extend his term and our days of misery under his presidency forever and ever, amen.

He also went to Iran. So, if we follow Iranian Logic-101, these two trips would/should cancel each other?
