'No Comment!', Says Jumblat in His Weekly Editorial

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

“No comment!”, that was the only stance voiced Monday by Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat in his weekly editorial in al-Anbaa newspaper – the PSP's mouthpiece.

Jumblat's “no comment” was emailed to media outlets by the PSP's media department.

The concise statement comes amid continued procrastination in the cabinet formation process, which has protracted for more than 10 months, and as Lebanon faces a wave of deadly suicide bombings targeted against Hizbullah's strongholds in the Bekaa and Beirut's southern suburbs.

The security situation is also dire in the northern city of Tripoli -- which is witnessing near-daily clashes and unrest -- while the northern Akkar region is being rocked by deadly shelling and clashes on the border with Syria.

I wish politicians like Aoun also adopted this "no comment" stance every once in a while and spare us the influx of BS and new excuses they have to come up with every week.

We should declare a politics-free month every year where the only news and "comments" are about cheerful events, food, entertainment and success stories !

I don't think Geagea is better, I think Aoun talks too much and constantly misteps and forgets to look in the mirror.

And FT, as much as we despise Geagea and his history as a murderer, he did pay more than anyone else. I was against his release from prison but I was also against Aouns return from his golden exile in Paris paid for by inexplicable sources of funding.

And to set things straight, if you only look at Geagea and Aoun's rhetoric post Hariri murder, Geagea has held a very very straight line of argumentation while Aoun has been more jumpy than jumby barking atrocities left and right! He has not walked a straight line since he came back and let go of all his principles. He has lost all credibility and the support of most of his original supporters (including people like myself).

We true Lebanese patriots do not switch positions and alliances. We stick to our beliefs no matter what.

Don't go thinking your feelings for Aoun and Nasrallah are common with your opponents. You're a very sick person. You are not a normal human being. It's time you realize that and understand others are not like you !
