A seasoned US diplomat in Washington, DC was telling me about Walid Jumblat's recent visit to the capital. He said that his visit left a very bitter taste, even among his neo-conservative WINEP supporters. He said that he came across as rude, abrupt, and nervous, and that he never answered a question that was posed to him. He told me that people openly wondered whether he was "on something."
