Hariri Source Slams Nasrallah over Security Situation and Syria

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

A source close to former Premier Saad Hariri slammed Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah for saying that the security situation in Lebanon was stable at the time when several kidnappings have taken place.

The al-Mustaqbal movement source told pan-Arab daily al-Hayat that Nasrallah talked in his TV interview on Monday at a time when Syrian opposition activists are being kidnapped, Hizbullah is expanding its telecom network in the town of Tarshish and the Syrian army is infiltrating in Lebanese territories in the Bekaa and North.

The source also criticized the Hizbullah leader for praising the cabinet for its achievements, saying the accomplishments that Nasrallah talked about are not real.

“They are just projects that haven’t been implemented yet, including the electricity (plan) which requires legislations and decrees,” he told al-Hayat.

On the situation in Syria, the source expressed regret that Nasrallah “ignored many facts and defended the Assad regime in a way that he linked his interest and fate to the fate of this regime.”

“At a time when international, Arab and Islamic calls are being made for the regime to withdraw the army and security agencies from the streets and end the fighting, he (Nasrallah) is asking the people to get off the street,” the source said.

“Where is Lebanon’s interest in this bias?” he wondered.

Nasrallah told al-Manar TV that the Syrian regime is largely "out of the danger zone" despite a 7-month-old uprising against President Bashar Assad.

Nassrallah the self righteous one sees what he wants to see or better put "what he is told to see"

I'd love to see a TV debate between Nasrallah and Geagea...

Dear "thepatriot", your debate is gonna be between 2 extremists, each in his own ways and with his own beliefs. It will be a real useless mascarade. The country would be much better off without both!!!

I am not a biased person and only base my comments on facts. This being the case, is it not true that Assad has remained in power uncontested even though 7 months and 3000 killed during the Syrian uprising? Is it not true that Saleh remians in power after so many months and more than 50000 killed? Is it not true that the Americans and European are selling the Syian opposition promises with no action exactly like they diid to Harriri before Husbullah attacked and took over Beriut threatening to nab the then PM Saniora? All these things are pointing in the direction of the Regime in Syria which up till now is proving to remain intact and unfazed?

The best solution is for the 2 parties in Syria agreeing to commence dialogue to establish democracy in Syria. It's gone the era of totalitarian regimes and hence the Syrian regime should understand that it can't continue with the status quo anymore. Civil war is ugly and we Lebanese know this more than all others. Dialogue is best.

"Mowaten", you sound like the mouthpiece of "Al Baath" newspaper with your delusional facts. Given that I'm a Syrian who lives in Syria, let me break it down for you in layman terms so that you can get your facts straight.

Homs is 90% anti Bashar given the demographic realities there and the fact that the city is being bombed and ravaged by the assadi thugs as

Hama and its surroundings is 90% anti Bashar given the demographic realities and the fact that they re-raped the city after what they did in 1982.

Deir il Zor and its surroundings is 90% anti bashar given the demographic realities and the fact that is currently raping the city and its surroundings.

The population of the suburbs of Damascus (Harasta, Duma, Erbeen, Zalmalka, Daraya etc.) is 3 million people and they are 90% anti bashar given the demographic realities and the fact that they are under siege by assadi thugs. (I won't debate how many people in Damascus are anti, but you'll see tomorrow when we're free)

cont..

Hassin's looking more and more like a werewolf and no full moon in sight, it's time to go out and kill something.

For argument's sake Aleppo is 50% anti given the demographic reality and the fact that the surroundings are occupied and being raped - Idib is the largest province outside Aleppo and they have declared their own independence in case you haven't heard.

Do the math Einstein.

Just remember "Mowaten" that a week before Ghaddafi went into hiding like a rat in the sewage, he brought down "one million" supporters to the green square. Where are they today ya "Mowaten".

I can give you facts about how they bring down all these supporters out....they force all government employees, schools, universities and all other public institutions to go down...when you go down to the demonstration, you have to go down and meet up with your assigned representative and sign an attendance sheet, and if you don't show up....well you know the rest.

We live in this country and we know the reality, don't speak on our behalf. Stick to your iranian agents Nasrallah and Aoun...we'll see their fate soon.

@mouwaten...if your master Assad really wants the truth then allow foreign reporters full access!! He has ZERO credibility especially after what happened in Lebanon under his and his father's regimes...I would rather trust the people than his Alawite regime's lies, thank you very much! Alawites, like shias, are allowed to practice tuqya...

Some continue to say it all started when 7 policemen were killed! whereas the true story is that these policemen tortured kids by taking out their nails because of some graffitis.
stop trying to sell us fake facts!!!!!!!!!
if my kids have their nails taken out and tortured, I would do worse than killing the policemen who did it.

I don't understand how any "real" Lebanese will support the Assad regime after what they've done to Lebanon and the Lebanese people over the past 30 years. The only way one will support them is if they are directly benefiting from them through a 'wasta' or financial support.

Open your eyes and admit that we have two major problems with our neighboring countries and stop choosing one _or_ the other.

Default-user-icon Syrian (Guest) 26 October 2011, 17:04

"Mowaten", I don't need to prove anything to Iranian and Ba3thi slaves, your credibility is similar to that of Addonia and Syrian Satellite TV.

I'm 100% Syrian from the city of Damascus and damn proud of it to.

This isn't to say that there aren't a few slaves in Syria who go down to their "I Love Bashar" circus shows out of choice, but I would love to see those figures..

Again, I live in this country and I know the reality while you sit on the other side of the border and rely on Al Manar and Otv for all your news.

I challenge the Syrian regime to allow opposition figures to organize anti government rallies in the country while providing us with the same level of protection as they do for their cronies.....not only will be cover all of sa7et il amawyeen....we'll cover all of Syria.

It's funny how when these circus shows go on, not one person gets injured but when any opposition demonstrations happen people get shot and killed and the government blames terrorists.

Poor soul.

@mowatan. How stupid do you think people are? If Assad's regime were indeed the victim in Syria, rather than the perpetrator of atrocities and killings, why would he ban the international media from covering events there since March? He would want the world to see what he is up against so as to justify himself with the truth. But when this tripe from the Assad Regime, that you liberally repeat in your entries is not true, when it is a lie, then it must be hidden from the light of day and hidden from international cameras.

The Assad story line is pure propaganda that your line here perpetuates. Go and read more of Prof. Michel Chossudovsky theories and report on that.

@ mowaten assume your positions by telling us what is so wonderful with a regime that has killed murdered tortured stolen your country?
what is so wonderful with a regime that erased villages in lebanon and killed more people than israel has ever killed in lebanon?
what is so wonderful with a regime that abducted thousands of lebanese and tortured them in syria or worse killed them?

how can you thank them for all the horror they did to your fellow citizens?

just please enlighten us by saying what good this regime was to lebanon?

Missing peace 26 October 2011, 18:56

thank you mowaten for your comments but in my opinion i cannot excuse this regime for the horrors they did to us, and moreover they are still manipulating the politics in lebanon thanks to their allies in the gvt...
so syria is still governning us, like it or not. so i totally support the people of syria who are willing to change their system just like they did in other arab countries, and they ask for the same things: stop totalitarism, and let us be free!

and contrary to what your beloved leader said, the USA did nothing so far to help the opponents because they want bachar in power because he is a precious help in defending israel! but the day the opposition will show that they can take over the gvt and that they will serve them just like bachar does , the usa will help them...

Missing peace 26 October 2011, 18:58

concerning the stealings of lebanese money i am just repeating what aoun said about corruption and the system that the syrians put in place to steal the gvt while corrupting politicians. at the time they had to accept or die remember?

but i blame M8 for saying that only one man is responsible for that when we know that the majority of M8 also took part in this corruption and theft!

@mowaten. Stop defending a regime that raped your country! Our corrupt politicians and civil war aside (because that's a complete different mess of its own), the Assad regime oppressed the Lebanese people. Ask any Lebanese citizen who has _not_ benefited from political affiliations/gains about the horror stories they've personally encountered under that regime. Assad (father and son) treated Lebanon like a toilet. I have zero political affiliation, and just to name a few incidents of my own, a Syrian soldier opened fire on my parents car (luckily only 2 bullets hit the bottom of a door); I have a distant friend who got taken to Mezze (jail) because he had a car wreck with a Syrian truck; a Syrian checkpoint painted Assad's face on my uncle's house (any many other locations in my town); we had to pay off the Syrians for a business we owned... the list goes on and on and this is the tip of the iceberg.
No real Lebanese respects the Assad regime because they have never respected us!

@Mowaten: Open the way to democracy? But I thought Syria already had free elections, remember the Assads winning 99% of the vote? Definitely free and fair elections there. Why would you believe murderers and criminals when they promise reforms?

They're making these promises so the revolution ends and then they can crack down much harder in the future to prevent another popular uprising. This is an old and obvious trick. The opposition knows that if the revolution ends now there will be no reform or change just more dictatorship and torture.

@mowaten: What you have said is quite rational and I have no problem with it. One thing, though, is certainly not fair - accusing the opposition is being a bunch of armed rebels. It's really true that the people in Syria are asking for freedom which is not really there for many decades despite the fact that Syria under Assad had made many overture and actual changes that benefited the masses but these changes remain scant and incomplete. Assad needs to do more and do that quickly before time runs out. While I think (I might be wrong) that bashar could not have ordered the killing of the people of Syria, some people within the regime he's controlling has done it without his consent. I also think that Bashar might be caught between the hammer and the stan which doesn't give him much room for manoeuvering. But the situation in Syria might not be like now in his favor for a long time. It's by predicting the future that Bashar could save himself from unfortunate destiny. Hurryup B.
