Assad Says he Would Ask for Hizbullah Help if Syria Was Attacked

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Syrian President Bashar Assad has warned that he would “set fire" to the Middle East if foreign forces launched a military strike on his country and would ask for Hizbullah’s help to attack Israel.

An Arab source told Iran’s Fars news Agency that Assad made the warning to Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu during his visit to Damascus.

"If a crazy measure is taken against Damascus, I will need not more than six hours to transfer hundreds of rockets and missiles to the Golan Heights to fire them at Tel Aviv," Assad said.

The Arab source said that the Syrian president told the Turkish FM that he would also call on Hizbullah to launch a rocket attack on the Jewish state.

"All these events will happen in three hours, but in the second three hours, Iran will attack the U.S. warships in the Persian Gulf and the U.S. and European interests will be targeted simultaneously," he reportedly said.

Assad’s warning came after Davutoglu informed him that he would face a war similar to the NATO aggression on the Libyan regime if he continued to crack down on his people.

The dog that barks does not bite.

Assad shows more signs of weakness and despair everyday...

As for hezbollah, what's the deal here? Do they accept to be remotecontroled by Assad? I want to hear from them on this one...

Thumb thepatriot 05 October 2011, 07:11

PS: Why should hezbollah launch rockets on Israel? Can't he do it himself?? Or are we supposed to take the hit back while assad is sipping Pinia Colladas??

Should Hezbollah drag us into another war, we might just take this chance to attack them from the north to disarm them...

Crack down on Syrian people and invading Lebanese land at the same time, while the coward resistance of Hezboshaitan remain silent. Punch of war criminals and terrorists against their own people only. They will last few hours against any foreign forces.

I don't know if Assad really said that, because the source here is too ridiculously anonymous: "an Arab source" wtf? hahaha

But in any case, this is the strategic equation in the area, and they know it.

Ahmadinejad told them that Syria was the door of Teheran and that the second a NATO aircraft would fly over Syria ten of thousands missiles would fall on Istanbul.

And then NATO sat quietly on the side ever after.hahaha :)

So mowaten the source of the info is ridiculous but ur info about what Iran said to NATO is no because ur so amazing and so well connected, right air head?
The minute Syria gets attacked half the army will stop fighting, in 3 hrs all his planes, missile batteries and barracks will be dessimated and he will be in a rat hole just like hassoune. The iranians are nothing but talk and cannot afford to start any war. They barely have money to buy fuel. This guy is like all the Arabs... nothing but talk.

that idiot is giving the ok to israel . israel now is not going to sit they will attack lebanon. he is in cahoot with the jews . they will attack lebanon so he can keep killing his people while the world watches lebanon being bombed. Israel now has a reason to attack. its a bad sign. there we go again. if he wanted to fire rockets on tel aviv he whould have done it long time ago. he would not pull all his army from the border to move them inside syria. The jews and bashar are working together. they do not want the sunnis to take over syria. it looks like the zero hour has started.

Should we subject lebanon again to the hell of war for the sake of a despot? This is why it is not acceptable to have weapons in the hands of a militia who has allegiances and obligations to Iran and Syria.
The lebanese people, especially the Shias should stop Hezbollah members from doing anything this foolish.

Thumb mowaten 05 October 2011, 11:09

Well aragon, i'm not a journalist, or an online news outlet, therefore I don't have to justify what I say with clear sources. You can take it for what it is, or not, up to you. Naharnet headlining "Assad says..." when it's not an official statement but rather "someone, oh, an Arab, said that he said that someone said he might have said" is bad journalism at best, voluntarily misleading title at worst.

Oh and PS: thanks for revealing your identity here: "This guy is like all the Arabs... nothing but talk." some Arabs might say that about themselves, but certainly not in these words. Say shalom to you boss when he comes to yell on you for being so dumb.

So what will change the Syrian and Iranuian Regimes have been doing what this criminal ASSad was saying since day, they have been doing it under all sorts of Guises at least now the criminal has come out in the open and admitted to the exitence of such terror "infrastructure" controlled by his regime and the Iranian filthy regime. Nothing has changed and I bet ASSad is thinking he would scare everyone, well I got news for you the Threashold of Pain has just been elevated from the freeworld and the peoples of the region's side, while your side will be wiped off the map. TERROR WILL NOT STAND!!! Glad to see that the crimnal regime is finally saying out loud what it has been doing in the ME for the past four decades of bloody regin in Syria, I think these words need to be recorded as they will be admissable in court when time comes... The Criminal ASSad Genocidal regime has just driven in the last nail in its coffin.

earlier i abstained from correcting your "dessimated" but damn man, if you want to be taken seriously at least use a spellchecker

theparrot: here once again we see how fragile minds are easily manipulated by media, especially when they are as willing as you.

Ahmadinejad said "The Iranian nation will always stand beside the Lebanese nation and will never abandon them ... We will surely help the Lebanese nation against animosities, mainly staged by the Zionist regime (Israel),"

what you misquoted wasn't said by him, according to your own article:

"pro-Western politicians in Lebanon's fractious unity government, who had said that he treats Lebanon like "an Iranian base on the Mediterranean.""

mowaten...

why do you fall into the trap of discussing things with zionist information war department?

first of all, when there is a "source", screw "source", it's not even worth of commenting.
when you see "source" just say you will not comment on "sources", because we all know who uses "sources" in their nazi style propaganda.

secondly, by engaging is discussion with zionist information war department you give the legitimacy. they do not have that legitimacy no matter how many nicknames they use, how many posts they make, or whatever they claim. it's just a bunch of garbage, good only for exposing how mossad (and other secret service) propaganda works.

Thumb jabalamel 05 October 2011, 13:09

secondly, i have seen some people from the "north" claiming that they will engage on our glorious resistance on the side of filthy zionist militia in the next war.

let's presume that canaanite is not from zionist information war department but he really is lebanese, from anti-lebanese forces or some other idiotic group filled with sectarian hatred.

In that case we have announcement of treason here. This is now the case for authorities and not for discussion.

those who praise for a dictatorship seem to never have suffered from it. just a bunch of kids trying to bark loud on a website....

those who wish that lebanon was involved through their terrorist militia seem to hate their country which has suffered enough from syria and atrocities of war!

it seems that the price of lebanese people is nothing to those hateful commentators who see nothing but their little priviliges and want to appear like men even if they have nothing to justify it....

if you assume your words, tell us what good would another war bring to lebanon? you wish to see your mothers fathers or sisters dead that s it?

Missing aragon 05 October 2011, 15:02

Peace- I agree with you a 100%. You have people like mouwaten who think they are so open minded and educated, yet they support a dictator who ruined our country and has been inpovering the Syrian people and killing them for 10 yrs now after his dad did the sam for 40 yrs. He also supports Iran which is against anything in this world. They are blind sheep who dare to come and lecture us on this site. They call anyone who does not share their views a Zionist. Yet they and the people they support are the most Zionist like with their actions in Lebanon. Such as confiscating land and living above the law. People like them are the reason why lebanon is in the shits. They are people who have no patriotism towards their own country, only allegiance to foreign powers and religious beliefs.
But as we all know and can see, only democracy flourishes. Dictators will always fall, militias will always fall. At the end lebanon will reincarnate free of their dark minds.

Thumb canaanite 05 October 2011, 15:14

@jabalamel... If you agree to move all your fighters, troops and supporters to the south and away from ordinary civilians like me and my family, then we have no issue as the war will be diverted away from us.

But instead, you insist on camouflaging yourselves in the cities and amongst us, using civilians as human shields so that Israel does not know where to attack.

Using the rest of Lebanese as human shields is cowardly and we are prepared to defend ourselves against your tactics if you do not move your team directly to the south.

how come he work for the sake of a foreign country which is denying its people freedom?
i d like to hear the supporters of this so called resistance tell us how can they support a foreign dictator who has harmed lebanon more than israel did?
how can they morally accept to do the war for a country which has never fired a bullet against israel and always involved lebanon to do the dirty work?thus killing innocent lebanese... it seems that for them lebanese people is worth nothing!

This is the purest form of unadulterated b.s. from this b.s. merchant. This conduct is like a small child, who responds to discipline by threatening to hold his breath until he turns blue. If Assad sets a fire, the only people who will be burned will be the Syrians, the Iranians and of course the Lebanese due to the involvement of Hezbollah.
Assuming the decrepid military of Syria could move missiles into position on the Golan, and that Hezbollah would participate in its own demise, Israel would leap at the provocation to do severe damage to Assad's Syria and to Hezbollah.
Iran, likewise, which is attempting to become nuclear, by launching attacks on the 5th Fleet would be giving the US an open invitation to end the Iranian nuclear program by military means.
The nonsense of this statement is underscored only by the sheer panic under which the Assad Regime is under and which panic prompted the idle threat.

An Iranian attack on the US is simply a suicide attempt as the US would destroy all the iranian military forces in "3 hours".

As for the Hizzie attack on Israel: the lessons of 2006 are still fresh and the "law kuntu a3alm" as well and spare me tha bla bla bla victory, who is gona welcome 1 million southern lebanese in their homes??
