Taqaddom makes itself known.

And then out of nowhere I saw this as I was browsing online. The "this" in question can be found here. Taqaddom dubs itself a "Taqaddom is a democratic progressive secular party working for social justice & sustainable development." Apparently the even have a member in the parliament (Mark Daou). All right, I admit, I am a bit disconnected politically so this has passed me by. Their ad centers around the issue of one... "One people. One army. and 1700 and one" (except in Arabi it rhymes). The 1701 in question is and am quoting from Google "Resolution 1701 (reaffirming the earlier Resolution 1559 from 2005) called for the disarmament and disbanding of militias and called for an embargo on the sale or supply of arms and related material to Lebanon, except as authorized by its government." So voila, yes, was not expecting this but maybe other people were? Who knows in the fragmented political landscape in Lebanon.
