Jumblat Says Iran Openness in Arabs' Interest, Slams 'Sharonism' of Some Arab Leaders
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat noted on Tuesday that Iran is open to dialogue with all powers, reported al-Alam television.
He told the station: “Iran's openness falls in the interests of Muslims and Arab countries.”
He said that Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif was clear in stipulating his country's keenness on Lebanese unity and Lebanon's stability.
Zarif ended on Monday a two-day official visit to Lebanon where he held talks with various officials, including President Michel Suleiman, Speaker Nabih Berri, Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Jumblat, and others.
He highlighted during his talks the strength of Lebanese-Iranian ties and the importance of forming a new government in Lebanon.
Meanwhile, in his weekly editorial in his party's al-Anbaa newspaper, Jumblat said late Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon -- who died Saturday – was "very similar to some leaders in the Arab world who ill-treated their people, displaced them and committed numerous massacres against them.”
“Their violence has created extremism and counter-violence,” Jumblat added.
“It seems that 'Sharonism' is an Israeli policy that is being implemented in Israel and the Arab countries,” he went on to say.

The trouble with a man who never has one stand. But all said and done, I agree with Jumblat on this one, except to say, I hope he begins to get consistent, my only worry to be honest.

Jumblat do us a favor and shut your trap, we have had enough.
No, we are not open to dialog to Iran nor to easing tensions with them. They have openly attacked and killed us, supported our enemies and sought to destroy the Lebanon that we have built. Their plan is to turn our country into a Iranian Revolutionary outpost, and they have an armed militia to carry out this plan.
The only way to free Lebanon from this clutch is an overthrow of the Ba'ath. There is no other way.

So, Jumblat is speaking on behalf of Iran now? What a complete puppet and traitor he is. But it's not surprising.

Roar, he also somehow managed to have a new catagory 'centrist' created for him lol. He actually did a smart thing by ditching both sides, and alligning his ministers with the pres n pm. He gets to pick his fights. Im sure its gona get him in trouble sooner or later, but for now its machavelian. He is one of the more interesting chacters in this soap!
