March 14: Govt. Must Distance Lebanon from Syrian Crisis after Assad’s Hint of More Violence
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The March 14 General Secretariat condemned on Wednesday Syrian President Bashar Assad’s speech on Tuesday, urging the international and Arab communities to take action to halt the regime’s ongoing crimes.
It said in a statement after its weekly meeting: “The Lebanese government should distance the country from the Syrian crisis after Assad’s speech hinted at more violence on the internal scene.”
It also voiced its solidarity with the Syrian people, demanding the Arab monitors to reveal the truth in the developments in Syria and “uncover the massacres being committed by the regime.”
“Experience has proven that the regime seeks to exploit any diplomatic initiative in order to gain more time and exercise more oppression against its people, who are demanding freedom and democracy,” it added.
“The international community and Arab League are therefore required to take a firmer and more effective stand to halt the daily massacres,” continued the statement.
Addressing U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon’s trip to Lebanon on Friday, the general secretariat noted that his visit will test the Lebanese officials’ commitment to international resolutions.
The U.N. Security Council resolutions on southern Lebanon, the Lebanese-Syrian border, and Special Tribunal for Lebanon require the government to assume its responsibilities on these issues “away from media maneuvers that seek to avert the implementation of these agreements,” it said.
Assad on Tuesday accused foreign parties of seeking to destabilize Syria but stressed that he would not step down over increased demonstrations against him.
"Regional and international parties who are trying to destabilize Syria can no longer falsify the facts and events," the embattled leader said.
He slammed the Arab League, saying it helped spread sectarian divisions across the country.
Assad pledged that his government would tackle terrorism with an "iron fist.”
"There can be no let-up for terrorism -- it must be hit with an iron fist," he said. "Our priority now is to regain security which we basked in for decades."

These farts are really useless amateurs and deserve to be hanged. Do not meddle in other nations' affairs LIKE WE DO NOT WANT OTHERS to meddle in our affairs. If the Sunni crazies have a beef with Syria, they can go to another Sunni crazy country like Turkey or Jordan and LEAVE LEBANON ALONE. WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH ALREADY, PUNKS. What a bunch of stupid idiots! Have they not done enough damage to Lebanon with their kowtowing to all of Lebanon's enemies? JUST LEAVE LEBANON ALONE.

Tabatam, Are you are scarred like a little chicken of Sunnis or you're just an idiot? Hizballa has more weapons then the Lebanese army and might be even be stronger. I am not sure where have you been but Syria occupied Lebanon, killed and imprisoned many Lebanese, controlled (and still does) some Lebanese politicians Hizb, Amal etc.. Syria through it cronies still controls major Lebanese governmental decisions...why don't you go back to Syria you simpleton and keep going to Iran...what an idiot.

the filthy zionist information war department is trying to portray syria as a greatest threat to us, but we know who is our enemy.
and as for march 14 alliance, they first say "lebanon should distance" but than they continue with statements that are pure meddling.
in their sick logic, lebanon should not meddle, but they can.

Ya MarBahla, Remember it is Syria who interferes in Lebanon and your Hizb sends thugs to Syria. Open your eyes MarHabla and stop repeating what your idiot general is telling you...Syria will never be the same again, it is OURS ... It will be on our side, the side of freedom and truth...so again go finish your @#^@ sandwich.

the filthy zionist information war department believe our glorious resistance sent people to syria to kill terrorists.
they can't believe that there is enough patriotic soldiers in syria that will do that alone, without help from anyone outside.

""stop behaving like a neurotic squirrel and think again about the side you're on, the side of lunatics, disconnected from reality, the side of burned out warlords who dream of a civil war to turn lebanon into paranoid enclaves, plunder again and make their children rich.""
at least mortadella is telling the truth about M8!!!!

oh by the way mortadella , i wonder what you would do if you get continuously shot by police forces while making peaceful demonstrations?
when you see you son killed or you wife or a friend?
you d accept it i m sure given the posts you write about denying the free people of syria to defend themselves...
it is normal now that after months of being shot at people start to arm themselves to defend themselves... the regime is just reaping the seeds it sowed!
but we all know you are an angel and you d let yourself kill without reacting because you think that defending yourself is an act of terrorism!!!

the filthy zionist information war department are jealous of patriotic people and revert to insults because they cannot have clever arguments. They want to be funny and use the word score. Ok, idiots i will tell you: the score is 100-0 in favor of the real patriotic not those who make the name dirty.
