Saqr: Jumblat Has Repeatedly Mentioned My Links to Syria to Justify Hizbullah, Iran's Invasion
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
MP Oqab Saqr criticized on Friday Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat's claims that the March 14 camp, starting with Saqr, was the first to meddle in the Syrian crisis.
He said in a statement: “The PSP leader has recently resorted, in his contradictory remarks, to mentioning my name when it comes to Syria in order to justify Iran and Hizbullah's invasion of the country.”
“He sees this as a normal and balanced response to the meddling of my army and ballistic missiles in Syria,” he continued sarcastically.
“I would like to draw Jumblat's attention to the political, media, and humanitarian support that I have provided to Syria, which is the least of what any human being can offer to a people that is being massacred on a daily basis,” he remarked.
“Jumblat has been amazing us with his long-winded statements on the need to support him in confronting whom he calls a sick criminal,” added Saqr in reference to the MP's recent labeling of Syrian President Bashar Assad as a “schizophrenic person”.
“If he believes that our support for the Syrian people carries equal weight as oppressing the people and killing prisoners, then anyone has the right to reveal the MP's meetings with Muslim Brotherhood members in Istanbul and his attempts to mediate between the Syrian opposition and Russia,” he said.
If he considers aiding the Syrian people a crime, then his attempts with the Syrian opposition and dealings in Istanbul should be labeled as war crimes, he stressed.
“We realize that only Jumblat is allowed to change his political positions on an hourly basis and we are aware of his political moodiness, but he must realize the limits of his authority,” stated Saqr.
Moreover, he said: “We have sided with the Syrian people since the beginning of their revolt as we have always sided with any Arab people in revolt.”
“We have always counted on the will of the people and the martyrs because we believe that freedom may be achieved through powerful speeches, not secret messages appealing to a former U.S. ambassador to plan the assassination of Assad,” he added.
Earlier on Friday, Jumblat had criticized the March 14 camp, saying that it has repeatedly slammed Hizbullah's actions in Lebanon and abroad, especially in Syria.
He noted: “It has condemned the party's involvement in Syria knowing however that the camp, starting with Saqr, was the first to meddle in the neighboring country.”

So Saqr has "always sided with an "Arab people in revolt"? Viva Le Revolution Che ChaSaqr!
What about Bahrain and Saudi Arabia "revolts"? Did you supply arms to them as well?
Please spare us the justification of an arms dealer. Profit and self benefit is the main reason for your "support".

This bozo has really become even more pathetic and ridiculous than he ever was (and he always was pathetic and ridiculous). It is inexcusable that Naharnet or any media outlet that considers itself respectable carries news about him or conducts interviews with him regardless of what he has to say or about whom he says it. He is simply a wasted loud mouth and a pathetic clown who shames those who employ him and those who associate with him and not himself as he has none left.

The problem with jumblat (or one of his problems) is that he is always waiting for some external change in the balance of powers, that is understandable if we look at what happened in 7 ayyar, moustakbal has no fighters, lebanese forces also, in fact no one for now has enough military power to balance hezbollah... The solution must and will come from the inside, let's just hope it wont be a military one...

God Bless Sayyed Hassanallah and the Islamic Secular Shia Only Resistance for intervening in Syria to fight the Oqabi takfiris and their acolytes. I recall Sayyed's exact words in his many speeches in which he said " We, the Shia of Ali Ibn Taleb will not allow Oqab Saqr to think he can only fight in Syria. We will follow him and foil his active subversive campaigning against the Shia and the Baath Regime". The world knows the truth and any cheap attempts by Oqab and his M14 scrubs remain as such. Karbalaaaaaaaaaaaa Mazlooooooooom!
