#1 Many prominent opposition figures boycotted the vote, saying Hitto was unknown and backed by outside powers like Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood

That's essentially true (not to mention Hitto's having been a CAIR official). Funny how the US wasn't mentioned as one of the "outside powers". The adminstration has either been very good at hiding its influence, or its influence has been discounted.

It also sounds like the hard-core Islamists and the Syrian secularists have found something in common...
