Harb: All What Nasrallah Presented in 2006 was his Viewpoint Not Defense Strategy
March 14 MP Butros Harb snapped back at Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, saying the party’s chief never proposed a defense strategy to the national dialogue conferees in 2006.
“All what Nasrallah proposed at the time was his point of view in anticipation of the proposal of the defense strategy along with Speaker Nabih Berri,” Harb told An Nahar daily published Wednesday.
Nasrallah said in a speech on Tuesday that Hizbullah was the first party to present its defense strategy at the national dialogue in 2006. He said the March 14-led opposition seems to have forgotten that a few days later the Shiite group implemented the strategy presented at the dialogue table during the July war “and we won.”
He was referring to the army, the people and the resistance equation in the policy statement of several governments to defend Lebanon against Israeli attacks.
Asked by An Nahar about his talks with President Michel Suleiman on Tuesday, Harb said: “Discussions focused on the appointments, vexatious acts in some institutions, the (international) tribunal and the elections law.”
The MP said that the way the new director-general of the General Security Department was appointed consolidates the stage of Syrian hegemony.
