Aoun Keeps Media Guessing on Saudi Visit
An alleged plan by Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun to visit Saudi Arabia left the Lebanese media guessing whether such a trip will take place anytime soon.
Rabieh has not yet confirmed or denied that Aoun could make such a visit for talks with top Saudi officials.
But Aoun said via twitter: "I personally announce any move I make as much as the security measures allow. Otherwise, I am not concerned with" reports.
Change and Reform bloc MP Naji Gharios said the FPM chief will travel to Saudi Arabia on Wednesday.
But several informed sources told local newspapers published on Tuesday that Riyadh hasn't yet sent an official invitation to Aoun and hasn't set any date to meet with either Saudi officials or al-Mustaqbal movement leader ex-PM Saad Hariri.
Hariri met with Aoun in Paris last month ahead of the formation of Prime Minister Tammam Salam's government.
Al-Liwaa daily said that the kingdom has the intention to send invitations to several Lebanese political leaders and personalities to discuss with them the local developments on the eve of the presidential elections.
Aoun is likely to be the first to arrive to the Saudi capital, it said. He could possibly be followed by his rival Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea, it added.

"Riyadh hasn't yet sent an official invitation to Aoun"… the Lunatic is probably siting by the phone salivating… I wonder if he will take son-in-law #1 with him, so that gigi can get a good whiff of those Salafi petrol dollars.

Sophia, I don't mean to disrespect you, but the truth is nearer for Aoun in being the center point of most of our problems, including the divisiveness that he keeps exacerbating always.

Tej raskon. Allaysemhak ex-tayyar for doublecrossing the only party that actually contributes something productive and joined literal slaves who worship and obey other countries.

I expect him to be a deal broker. He may very well convince the ksa (because they control the country thanks to m14) to become the strong, productive, constructive president we all deserve and fix a lot of things. Hope it's true.

I bet with anyone 1000 dollars that he will never be president!

I have yet to see the M8 side of this forum calling it foul play, or like, yeah, going to the KSA to get his paycheck. This silence is deafening.

Nah ya FT habibi, let me be most honest with you khaye, Aoun never ever made me guess for a second. From the very first moment he was mandated to become Interim PM many years ago by the then outgoing President Gemayel, I knew this man will begin using his multiplicity of personality colors. Now in 2014, I have come to understand well beyond any doubt why I was so doubtful of the old man. The deafening element I used in this post was related to you guys, who whenever an M14 politician went to the KSA, it was always because they were going to kiss butt, so I just wanted to see what you fellows will say now that our old man Aoun has been invited to go to the KSA. My drift should have been caught a lot easier bro.

Nobody's kbeeling except m14. GMA will speak to the self-proclaimed king as an equal, at the very least. It will be unfortunate if he even has to, but you can thank m14 fot allowing the ksa to control the country and turn its supporters into a brainwashed bunch.
Aoun? Saudi Arabia? Wahabi? Salafi? One way ticket?
