Report: Hizbullah, Suleiman Discussing Fighters Withdrawal from Syria
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Hizbullah is mulling to withdraw its fighters from the neighboring country Syria if the reasons behind its intervention in battles in Damascus were resolved, al-Joumhouria newspaper reported on Thursday.
According to the newspaper, the leadership of Hizbullah is discussing the withdrawal of its fighter from Syria with President Michel Suleiman.
Sources told the daily that the party voiced hope that the conditions in Lebanon would be adequate to kick off the withdrawal process.
Suleiman said in an interview with As Safir newspaper on Thursday that he is “against the party's engagement in battles in Syria.”
He stressed, however, that he is ready “to discuss with it the matter in an attempt to convince it to withdraw its fighters.”
Hizbullah has dispatched fighters to battle alongside the Syrian regime against rebels seeking the overthrow of President Bashar Assad.
The conflict, pitting a Sunni-dominated rebel movement against Assad, has raised sectarian tensions in Lebanon and Lebanese Sunni fighters have also been killed while fighting alongside Syrian rebels.
Suleiman expressed hope on Friday that Hizbullah would withdraw its fighters from Syria immediately as per the Baabda declaration that calls for disassociating Lebanon from regional conflicts, and to maintain Lebanon's best interest.
The Baabda Declaration was unanimously adopted during a national dialogue session in June 2012. It calls for Lebanon to disassociate itself from regional crises, most notably the one in Syria.
Lebanese parties are sharply divided over the crisis in Syria as the March 8 alliance continuously expresses its support to Assad, while the March 14 camp voices its support for the popular revolt.

Good luck Mr President... but you better clear it first with Nasrallah's boss in Iran, Hizbullah will stop fighting on behalf of Assad only when the Ayatollah tells them to.

yeah definitely, they consulted all the prophets and Nostraghabby14s who predicted Syria would fall THIS week or the NEXT for two and a half years, and predicted a proxy war would take place in Syria in the year 2011 anno domini, finding Hizbullah 30 years before hand to mutually agreed with Syria to destroy the country with gangs, bandits, criminals, terrorists from more than 80 countries.

banima3roof is beyond incomprehensible and illiterate. He sees things that aren't there, he hears things of the same nature. He seems to experience frequent general-induced psychosis and hallucinates parallel realities, much like m14 and its followers do. The positions are the same, if you're seeing it differently you're just not looking close enough or not paying enough attention.

Sam, I wish they'd only shoot themselves... They harm plenty of people everyday. Well, anyway, I hope you're no longer living in that infested jungle!

illegal war? no matter how you play it, this started out as a popular uprising.. against an un-elected and dictatorial regime.
M8 did not want an uprising in Syria which would have had a huge effect on the flow of arms and support to HA.(not to mention all the holy sites HA needed to protect, lol)
Funny how these terrorists were never mentioned prior to the uprising, and now we have the worlds biggest terrorist production facilities.
Why do you not call the Assad regime terrorist? did they not send smaha to enforce the misconception that al-Qaida is running loose in Lebanon? did they not orchestrate the bombings in Tripoli in the hope that people would fall in line with their al-Qaida b.s.??
an uprising against an unelected, un humane regime is NOT illegal..
Assad popular you say?? cant even stop the rebels with all his superior firepower and air force..

mkhak ya arzak? Where is it? Tripoli has been time and time been said to be infested with terrorists from al nusra with their vests, weapons, banners, explosives, truck bound to syria and so on. For you to say this is a lie is to be very [adjective insulting partaining to your intelligence]

it doesn't make a difference with me... I just find it remarkable that any and all countries with arab springs before Syria, i.e. Egypt, tunis, Libya, Bahrain, were all supported by HA, iran and the entire axis of resistance (LOL) as being legitimate uprising.. but when it came to Syria it is one big conspiracy.. you have ZERO credibility just for that, you fall in line with whatever they say instead of analyzing it yourself.
I have said on many prior occasions, that yes, now it is everybody's hands on Syria.. but to think in the beginning that it was as well is just downright silly,
I wonder what they were all complaining about.. one of the highest standards of living in the world, one of the highest gdps, political freedom, freedom of speech, freedom from arbitrary arrests, torture, and rape.. these guys are idiots.. they took their country from the pride of the region to the stone ages.. ma hek?
keep repeating it.. one can believe his own lies if he repeats them enough,

plant... read what I wrote... I said PRIOR to the revolution.. there was nothing...now we are making it sound like we are the biggest production facility...
I will tell you where al-Qaida is.. in people like smaha, and the people who bombed the mosques in Tripoli.. and their masters the Syrian govt... those are part and parcel of the al-Qaida you are fixated with.(which I do not deny are present now because of Assads decisions)

yes I am really worried what might happen.. you argue like a typical m8er... trying to sow the seeds of fear.. fear that we have lived and still live under the assad regime, so please spare me your weaknesses in falling for the scare tactic..
when the others come into Lebanon, I will be there to fight them.. but so far it has been the assad regime that continues to play al-Qaida in Lebanon, by killing and destroying and bombing.. keep being scared of what MIGHT come instead of seeing what is right in front of you...
and FYI I was not talking about what YOU thought.. I was talking about the official line of HA.. which was to embrace every revolution except syrias.. not because it was not truthful.. not because it was not a real uprising.. but only to protect its interests..

Roar. Arzak is right.
You may choose to beleive that assad is genuinely popular and has recevied 99% of the votes in each election, Also beleive that the massacres of hama didnt happen and all those defectors that left the syrian army are paid by qatar to leave. As for the chabiha, well they are just ghosts. I dont care much about syria because i am fiercely lebanese.
What i care about is that Assad systematically killed every leader who would have make lebanon soar and systematically tried to create strife in lebanon.
As for your statement "ask the leaders you embrace why they killed so many lebanese in the name of assad" - can you explain what you mean.

really? I heard the un accuse the regime of the c.w. attack.. unless I missed that days paper..
HA will withdraw from Syria because they cannot sustain the lose of life, equipment and take care of the home front...
Iran is trying to snuggle up to the west (evidence of which is the absence of the grand ayatollah's words to contradict everything Rowhani said), do not make the mistake that the USA is not getting something out of their drop of support for the rebels (if indeed that is the case)
what is it? I do not know, Assad? HA? we will see how this plays out, but it is for sure not the fantasy fairy tale you speak about.
03 October 2013, 13:37

true, forgive me, as I wrote in haste... the un did not accuse, but said that evidence points to..etc..etc..
and southern, speaking of Lavrov, where is the hard evidence he promised the u.n. security council, that Syria sent him? was he too embarrassed to present it? was it THAT utterly ridiculous?
and how about the bloody actions of assad and his regime? are they not "wordwidely" (whatever that is) known?
anyways, what I was trying to say, and you all jumped on this, hope you all didn't pop an artery, is that all evidence (Syria and Russia pending) that it was the regime that used them.
and do not expect a happy ending.. if you like it or not, Iran will have to offer something to the USA if they are to drop their support for the rebels... I wonder what that is.. I can only hope..

ahahaha.. yeah.. poor sods.. they achieved what they have been asking for years!!! without a bullet fired.. what losers...assad really showed them!! lolol
keep that ace up their sleeve, but we all know where it really belongs..
end of story.. assad gives up his deterrence. and they are the losers... only the resistance axis would take such a twisted view..

Actually Arzak HA is withdrawing because the Syrian regime is winning and the terrorists are fighting each other now. Proving the B.S revolution they claim for democracy is fake. The rebels are fighting for personal interests not 4 the Syrian people

HA pulls out from Syria and the UN removes them from the terrorist list? Six month revaluations are just around the corner...

Lebanon should have been saved the hassles of the war in Syria by shielding itself from the fallout of this savage war. I do feel with the Syria people on a humanistic basis. It's unfair for the children and women to die from a war they didn;t initiate or get involved into! These who want to fight should refrain from attacking the innocent. I now couldn't say that the Syrian war is just because of all the fanatics involved. These are attacking churches and committing crimes that the mind couldn't fathom. Wars have canons that need to be upheld. i hope the Syrians and their regime arrive at a settlement to stop the bloodshed which is not showing any signs of abating. As for the step of HA, I applaud the move and hope they also hand over their weapons to the army and remain involved in the political arena with their peers. We all are one in Lebanon. Time is convenient for redirecting our energy to the economic side of Lebanon. Enough with wars.

true.
One must always remember when and why and after what did HA go to Syria. Last year, when border villages were being bombed, and shiite citizens were being indiscriminately executed en-mass. HA is currently in the southern suburbs of damascus(the mosque), the borders, and homs.
That's the truth, deal with it.

Suleiman said in an interview with As Safir newspaper on Thursday that he is “against the party's engagement in battles in Syria.”
this shows how much M8 consider the state of lebanon. they pretend to want a strong government but applauds, cheers and support a party involved in a foreign war AGAINST the decision of the state...
they are not credible anymore when they pretend to respect the state and its institutions when at the first opportunity they show otherwise... shame on these people....

roar.
So we agree that Assad is a brutal dictator.
I know you always said that assad would not fall so easily. Unfortunately. However, he will fall eventually because he is the personification of evil. But not without a fight and not without hurting lebanon.
But the issue remains. Which leaders killed lebanese on assad behalf? what do you mean?
03 October 2013, 19:49

Who killed Pierre Gemayel-Francois Hajj-Gebran Tueni- Samir Kassir-Cheikh Bachir-Wissam Eid-Wissam el Hassan-Bassel Fleihane-Rene Mouawad-Rafic Hariri?
Who killed those people on syria's behalf?
Who emptied Lebanon of those great men and kept us the junk such as Nabih 2Billion Berri and Adnan Syria Mansour and wiam wahab and Jamil el Sayyed
How can you build a country without great men? How can you build a country with garbage? Assad made sure we only have garbage remaining in lebanon.

How come the Syrian uprising did not take place during Syria's occupation in Lebanon, and why was Saudi Arabia OK with the occupation?
