Hizbullah Official Accuses U.S. of Meddling in Lebanon

W460

Hizbullah deputy leader Sheikh Naim Qassem on Saturday said the United States was “delaying” the formation of a government in Lebanon, stressing that Hizbullah “will not be dragged into sedition,” media reports quoted him as saying.

“The first obstruction in the formation of Lebanon’s government is America, because it wants a government that resembles it while we want a government that resembles the Lebanese people, and the needs of the Lebanese people,” said Qassem.

He said he does not see any signs of a civil war in Lebanon.

"The economic crisis that has spread to the banking system has hit Hizbullah’s Shiite environment as any Lebanese citizen of any sect, but although our public is affected, like all Lebanese, that does not mean it will be a success for those who initiated the crisis," he said.

“Hizbullah has supported popular calls to put all corrupt officials on trial, no matter who they are,” he said.

There were so many American flags in the Independence day rallies, almost as many as Lebanese flags in Kizb rallies. Seriously, you turn away when there is blatant Iranian influence but raise a stink about perceived outside influence on rallies.

The only people delaying the formation of a government are you and your allies like Basil, Aoun, Berri and of course yourselves. Stop blaming the world for your failures.

Where is it proven? Show me the proof---fabrications of iranian mullahs are probably not accepted in any court or law or non iranian public opinion. And you talk about vacuum, don't forget your groups sitting outside parliament for 18 months--so shut up about chaos--your memory is either very selective or just bad.

Also, this is historically correct: there has never been a single country that has flourished when there are armed groups stronger than the national army. Look it up

Hi Mystic, I agree that Hezbollah did protect Lebanon at a great expense to both Lebanon and the Lebanese at a whole. So please explain to me what have they done to fix Lebanon since than? they support Berri blindly and they know he is corrupt, they support Basil and they know he is corrupt and so on. Remember when they locked parliament and there was a vacuum? now why was that ok? They have the power to bring the corrupt politicians to justice so why don't they do what they said and hand over their corrupt politicians? if this occurs eveybody would follow them. Please stop blaming the US and Israel for the Lebanese mess. Iran, Syria KSA, US Isarel and the rest are all meddling in Lebanon so spread the balme as it realy is...

Yes Shiites are one third of this country and you think 100% of them are with you right? Is it because any Shiite with a brain to think for himself/herself is a bad Shiite and needs to have the Shiite beaten out of him/her like you did in Tyre, Bint Jbeil, Nabatieh, etc? The following is Hezbollah's Secretary Generals Hassan Nasrallah explaining why Hezbollah Shiites like yourself are by choice idiots:
عندمما نأخذ أي القرار، أو نمشي في أي درب، أو ندخل إلى أي ساحة، أو إلى أي ميدان أو إلى أي قتال، نحن لا نلجأ إلى عقولنا، ولا إلى علومنا ولا إلى مستوانا العلمي، ولا إلى ولا إلى....نحن نلجأ إلى فقهائنا وكبارنا ومراجعنا، الذين هم على أعلى مستوى من الفقاهة والعلم والإجتهاد والتقوى والورع والأمانة والوعي أيضا، ومعرفة الزمان والمكان. وهذا كان إلتزامنا من اليوم الأولهذا كان إلتزامنا بالإمام، وهذا إلتزامنا بعد الإمام رضوان الله تعالى عليه، بسماحة الإمام القائد آية الله العظمى السيد علي الحسيني الخامنئي دام ظله الشريف
حسن نصر الله

-The president duty bound to call for government consultations but is refusing, is the same one they say was appointed by the might of their militias' riffles.
-Have the needed majority in parliament to appoint any prime minister they want. Their opponents say have not vetoed anyone.
-Keep sending their inbred knuckle dragging apes to beat up women and kids usually early in the day when a few demonstrators are around.
- They keep warning that the peaceful demonstration will a civil war, when their knuckle dragging apes attack, loot, break and burn the gathering places while chanting hateful sectarian slogans.
-Refuse to listen to the Lebanese people's call for a technocrat government but insist Hariri as PM. He's insisting that he'll come back only to head a government of technocrat.
And it's US is that is delaying the formation of a government and dragging the country into sedition. Seriously check this chimp's turban it might be cutting the blood flow to his "brain".
