Hariri: Arab-Turk Force Must Be Formed if U.N. Fails to OK Syria No-Fly Zone
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Former premier Saad Hariri on Monday said the Arab League should seek a “no-fly zone” over revolt-hit Syria, stressing that “everything must be done” to stop what he called a “massacre.”
“The Arab League should go to the U.N. and (seek) a no-fly zone (over Syria) and if Russia vetoes (the resolution) then a joint force should be formed with Turkey,” Hariri said on the social networking website Twitter.
Syrian President “Bashar (al-Assad) thinks he can outsmart the Arab League and the world, he will fall so hard,” Hariri tweeted in English.
Asked by a Twitter user to comment on Defense Minister Fayez Ghosn’s recent remarks that Qaida members were “hiding” in the Bekaa town of Arsal, which borders Syria, Hariri said: “There is only one al-Qaida: it’s Bashar's shabiha (militiamen) and killers.”
Turning to Lebanon, the ex-PM said “dialogue about the defense strategy is a joke because you are talking to someone who doesn't listen.”
Asked about the wage hike plan recently approved by the government, Hariri said he thinks “it will be harmful for the economy.”

Why didnt you call for such a force when lebanon was being burned together with children, women and men in 2006? In one month over 1000 were brutally slaughtered and thousands bombed to pieces yet you didnt ask for such a force to protect lebanon. Bashar el asad and his regime, army and shabbi7a deserve to be beaten and humiliated but when hypocrites call for it, then its just nasty because we all know its so fake. Why didnt you stop the murder of 1000+ syrians in lebanon since 2005, innocent men murdered mostly in areas loyal to march14 who were heated up by irresponsible accusations, lies and full out racism coming from you and your fellow partners. You couldnt give a damn about the syrian people, your only exploating them for your own political benefit. It wasent even long ago you were hugging and kissing asad as if even then syrians werent being tortured and killed in his filthy jails. You are a hypocrite and a liar mr saad. Shame on you.

In lebanon we say bashar el asad is asad bi lebnen and arnab bell joulen. And you ya hariri is a asad in syria and a coward when it comes to israel. You dont deserve to be a leader and remember who appointed your father PM in the first place. It was the syrian regime. You were allies with them during the slaughtering in lebanon. My god, how do you have the nerve to be so cocky. Look at your family history with the asads, you should go hide in a corner in shame instead of talk as if you have no blame in anything.

A no fly zone should be established, enforced by Arab nations with the help of Turkey. Assad and his criminals will not step down, Iran and HizbAlla won't lets them. lets hope that the Arabs find some guts, and do the right thing.

the truth is that we are the only place in the world where we have everything under one roof pro israelis, pro syrians, pro iranians, pro americans,
pro stitution, the only thing we don't have is the fealing of nationalism. If we are a people of resistance we should build our economy on industry, agriculture, become a productive society to become self reliant but... no. We have tourism... means our daughters should wear short skirts to attract the sexual fealings of arabs. Maybe that is the only side of Arab nationalism that the arabs have reserved for us. Nobody is fooling nobody... PEOPLE OF RESISTANCE these days means: put lebanon under influence of Iran... SOUVERAIGN STATE means be under saudi influence hope someday to get rid of both and create a souveraign people that can put all of those people on trial and make them pay for the abuses, thefts and war crimes they did commit

The truth always hurt and make others jump of their cloth as we all saw what Allouch's opponent on MTV did...
The regime must go as it can't stop the revolt of the people, everyone in Lebanon and Syria can't stay quiet about the lying regime and its shabiha/militia in Lebanon the first claim to do reform for the past 30 yrs and the second dances on some defense strategy with Rockets versus Air Jets. Be real and go away as people are sick and tired of your lies and want to live in peace and have a decent economy away from wars and assassinations.

Russia should realize their interests are doomed if the Arab league acts in this fashion. They should get on the train or be left at the station.
This is an excellent suggestion by Hariri. Let the Arab league do their job outside the UN.

Hariri is right and everyone who is honest with themselves, KNOWS he is right....only the liars and murderers will disagree with him.

I think a more suitable image for this article would be saadeddine greeting bachar. I never trusted saad and never will. He keeps contradicting himself. He condemned hezballah for criticizing the al khalifa dictators in bahrain and called it interfering and now he calls for syria to be invaded. Is that not worse than what nasrallah said?
Anyway, i hope the regime in syria falls because they have blood on their hands.

Why is HARIRI waging war on Syria???
Is he doing so on behalf of Lebanon and the Lebanese???
Who gave him the right to interfere in the internal affairs of a foreign country???
He could not lead Lebanese politics, is this an attempt to redeem himself?

@ Karimr...who gave your master Hassouna the right to declare war in 2006 on behalf of all Lebanese?
Who gave Hassouna the right to interfere in the internal affairs of a foreign country (Syria, Bahrain, etc...)?
so please SHUT THE HELL UP. He could not lead Lebanese politics because of people like you who don't want to see Lebanon progressing and becoming Paris of the Middle East once again...Allah yberiklak bi hassouna w Aoun the Clown...

@Muhamad: I think you have blamed Hariri for just about anything and everything that happened nationally and internationally over the past 30 years or so, except perhaps for 2 things: the Tsunami in Japan, but more importantly for the sure fact you were born evil and ugly!.... and please, don't take it personally:)

i see that the filthy zionist information war department has put a lot of effort on syrian situation and they spill much less slime on lebanese news these days.
useless you are on both fronts.

@karimr: Who gave your Sheik Nasrallah the right to wage war on Israel on behalf of Lebanon, years ago? Was he elected President or Premier of Lebanon? You have your head in the sand and need to pull it out. Bashar is a goner, so are Maher, Bushra, Assad Showkat, Bouthaina "Shai'thauni", that fat ass Walid Mouallem, Farouk Sharaa, and last, but for SURE not least, the Butcher of Lebanon, Rustom Ghazali. They will all hang for what they have done not only to Syria, but to Lebanon, as well...their day is coming, and if you don't believe it, you are a fool, like Nasrallah, and his day is coming, as well....hear this sound? Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock? It's the clock, and it's ticking faster, every day....

To the people who replied to me, why didnt you adress the issues i raised instead of spitting out usual garbage? Your acting like children. How embarassing. You are embarassing the lebanese. And to the person who accused me of being a maronite aouni, i tell you i dont care for aoun and im not a maronite. Im a Muslim (sunni family) and i completly reject secterianism. I am against the hypocrites whether hariri, berri, aoun or anyone else. The things i wrote are facts, not speculations, but facts and no matter how much you are led by your hate, it wont stop being facts. I want a lebanon led by honest people, not by power hungry war criminals, not by opportunists who one day kiss bashar and the next call for invading his palace. I am not from march8 nor march14, al7amdellah for that. Unlike you, when i call for bashar to step down, i also want all his likes to step down in lebanon, regardless which sect they are from or which political bloc.

By the way, lest someone is fooled by the comment ratings, there is someone who has made several profiles on naharnet to be able to rate down the comments he dislikes. I saw it yesterday with my own eye, how as soon as my comment was posted, it was rated down with less than a minute between each "vote" and then it stopped for a long while only to happen again (many down votes) coming directly after each other. Most comments get an average of 3 votes, yet all of a sudden some comments (who mUst really have hurt the looser) gets 50? Its clear what it is going on. It has happened on many comments on this site, not just mine. Naharnet should block the use of several profiles on the same IP as this is just ridiculous.
