Hariri: Hizbullah Direct Accomplice in Killing of Syrians, Nasrallah Sees 'Decisiveness Storm' as 'Personal Defeat'
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Mustaqbal Movement leader Saad Hariri warned on Tuesday from attempts by Hizbullah to drag Lebanon to turmoil in Syria by mobilizing for the battle in al-Qalamoun, accusing it of becoming a direct accomplice in killing the Syrian people.
“Neither Hizbullah nor the Iranian Revolutionary Guards nor the barrel bomb attack... will be able to protect Bashar Assad from falling, as logic says that history will not have mercy on a person responsible for the death of thousands,” Hariri said in a statement issued by his press office.
He accused Hizbullah of being a “direct accomplice in the crime,” warning the party from involving the border towns in the Bekaa Valley in the battles in Syria.
Hariri called on the Lebanese to refuse and not to cover up for Hizbullah's attempt to drag Lebanon to Syria's al-Qalamoun gunbattle with gunmen.
The Sunni leader, whose party is involved in dialogue with Hizbullah since December, refused media reports portraying the battle in al-Qalamoun as a battle that concerns Lebanon on the pretext of “precautionary war against terror groups.”
“We are daily reading that Hizbullah is mobilizing and preparing for the battle and using Lebanon's border without any supervision to submerge further in the Syrian conflict to protect (President) Bashar Assad.”
Hariri expressed regret that “Hizbullah will not listen to the advice of its partners in the nation and will hit against a brick wall all warnings from dragging the war in Syria to Lebanon.”
“We will not back down on issuing warnings.”
The Mustaqbal leader wondered if the Qalamoun battle will be on Lebanese or Syrian territories and if the Lebanese authorities handed over the border to “illegal armed groups.”
He also warned of the repercussions of the Lebanese state's involvement in the border battle, in particular on the well-being of the abducted servicemen by the al-Qaida-affiliate al-Nusra Front and the Islamic State group, voicing fear that Syrian opposition groups would tamper with Lebanon in retaliation.
“Lebanon is not concerned with the battle in al-Qalamoun and Hizbullah is solely responsible for the repercussions of the war, which only serves Assad.”
Fighters linked to ISIL and al-Nusra Front in the Syrian al-Qalamoun have been allegedly mobilizing and moving closer to the border with Lebanon ahead of a battle along the country's eastern border for a battle with Hizbullah accompanied by Assad forces.
The Lebanese army frequently clashes with the militants in their hideouts near the Syria border.
The IS, which controls several areas in Syria and Iraq, aims to spread to Lebanon as its fighters position in the outskirts of Bekaa towns bordering Syria and the Lebanese army is in adamant efforts to stop their efforts to infiltrate the country.
ISIL and al-Nusra Front are battling in Qalamoun the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad and Hizbullah forces alongside each other, with support from some smaller Islamist rebel groups.
Despite ideological similarities, the two groups are opposed and in conflict with each other in other parts of Syria, particularly in the north.
Meanwhile, the Lebanese army denied any attempt to engage in battles outside Lebanon's border.
Later on Tuesday, Hariri responded to remarks about Yemen by Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, who delivered a televised speech in the evening.
"He approaches the Yemeni issue as if he's talking about Dahiyeh or Nabatiyeh and he's acting as if he's the real leader of the Huthi movement," Hariri said on Twitter, referring to Yemen's Huthi rebels.
"He is approaching operation Decisiveness Storm as if it is a personal defeat for him and for the Iranian scheme in Yemen," Hariri added.
In his speech, Nasrallah said Saudi Arabia failed to achieve its objectives from the Decisiveness Storm air campaign it had launched against the Huthis, accusing Riyadh of “killing children and women” and adopting a “futile policy.”

Hariri, you are a direct partner in crime with Saudi Wahabi Arabia. Hailing the Wahabis efforts to kill innocent people in Yemen, aswell as in Syria. Syrians were well fed and happy before your Wahabis came in from all over the World, yes those same wahabis you funded that beheaded Lebanese Army troops.
You Hariri, have alot of blood and corruption on your hands. For being the voice of "Moderation" with the Wahabi Shadow breathing down on your spine. That is Mostaqbalis, the official Wahabis of Lebanon.
Now you try to smear the Resistance, for being the only Lebanese power able to counter the takfiris in Lebanon, why is that? Because you want them to conquer Lebanon, so they can be your muscle for rent. Just like you did to the people of Jabal Mohsen in Tripoli, you hired takfiris to attack them all the time.

you are beyond reason! tell me who are the huthis killing in Sanaa, Aden, Taiz, and other Yemeni cities..... Saudis or their fellow Yemenis?! the rest of your comments are hilarious to say the least.

Cluster bombs on Sanaa everyday, yet they still fight back against the wahabis with everything they got.

Mystic - You keep repeating nonsense. The majority of civilian death are in Aden and Taez and these are cause by Houthi and Saleh shelling of civilian areas resisting their hordes.

The Mustaqbal leader wondered if the Qalamoun battle will be on Lebanese or Syrian territories and if the Lebanese authorities handed over the border to “illegal armed groups.”
the authorities including yourself have handed over not only the borders to the illegal sectarian militia but every institution, port, airport, and revenue source. Your dialogue with them is giving them a huge cover and is seen as acceptance of their crimes despite your repeated words to the contrary.
Bachir Gemayel is the only true leader this country has ever known, the rest of you are useless. Bachir refused to succumb to the dictates of the Syrians and Palestinians and took up arms after exhausting all means despite all the odds stacked against him. ISIS will be finished sooner than later but hezbollah is entrenched in Lebanon. Their revolving objectives from liberating Jerusalem, to protecting shia, to protecting assad, to defending Islam are but excuses to keep Lebanon under their thumb.

ISIS just made an attack for the first time, in the State of Texas U.S soil. ISIS is far from over, they can hit USA the so called most powerful country in the World.
What should keep them from taking Lebanon? I can answer you that, it's the Resistance holding those takfiris back. Hariri wouldn't even be able to contain the takfiris if they conquered Lebanon. They would probaly massacre his "Christian" Allies, even if he told them not to.

stick to one story people!!!! You have been saying all along the USA created ISIL, the USA arms and funds ISIL and now you acknowledge ISIL is attacking the USA.... lol. Mystic the Christians of Lebanon don't need your militia to defend them. We either have a state and an army or we all carry weapons.

Abu Bakr Baghdadi got freed from U.S jails in Iraq. ISIS contributed to the U.S plans by creating Chaos in Syria and Iraq, to create a secterian war, but their ISIS mercenaries turned on their masters.
Too bad for the U.S & Europe, the Resistance warned the West about these matters.

"In all, nine members of the Islamic State’s top command did time at Bucca, according to the terrorist analyst organization Soufan Group. Apart from Baghdadi himself, who spent five years there, the leader’s number two, Abu Muslim al-Turkmani, as well as senior military leader Haji Bakr, (now deceased), and leader of foreign fighters Abu Qasim were incarcerated there"
5 years, that means a "little more" than a "few months", in case you're stuck with the maths patatriot

lol momo...
"Bakr al-Baghdadi had been arrested by US Forces-Iraq in early 2004 near Fallujah and been detained at Camp Bucca detention center under his name Ibrahim Awad Ibrahim al-Badry as a "civilian internee", from February until December 2004. That December 2004 he was released, as ‘low level prisoner’.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Bakr_al-Baghdadi
"US-led coalition forces detained him from February to December 2004, but released him since he was not viewed as a high-level threat."
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-28560449
Mr. Baghdadi, after being arrested in Falluja in early 2004, was released that December with a large group of other prisoners deemed low level.

lol patatriot, selective quoting, and obscuring half the story... trying to hide something? your hypocrisy maybe?
In your wikipedia quote:
Bakr al-Baghdadi had been arrested by US Forces-Iraq in early 2004 near Fallujah and been detained at Camp Bucca detention center under his name Ibrahim Awad Ibrahim al-Badry,[19] as a "civilian internee", from February until December 2004, when he was recommended for release by a Combined Review and Release Board.[21][26] That December 2004 he was released, as ‘low level prisoner’.[19]
A number of newspapers and cable news channels have instead stated that al-Baghdadi was interned from 2005 to 2009. These reports originate from an interview with the former commander of Camp Bucca, Colonel Kenneth King, and are not substantiated by Department of Defense records.[27][28][29] Al-Baghdadi was imprisoned at Camp Bucca along with other future leaders of ISIL.[30]

in your NYTimes quote
The Pentagon says that Mr. Baghdadi, after being arrested in Falluja in early 2004, was released that December with a large group of other prisoners deemed low level. But Hisham al-Hashimi, an Iraqi scholar who has researched Mr. Baghdadi’s life, sometimes on behalf of Iraqi intelligence, said that Mr. Baghdadi had spent five years in an American detention facility where, like many ISIS fighters now on the battlefield, he became more radicalized.

and a last one for good measure:
"But the narrative solidifies in 2005, when he was captured by American forces and spent the next four years a prisoner in the Bucca Camp in southern Iraq. It was from his time there that the first known picture of Baghdadi emerged. And it’s also there, reports Al-Monitor, that he possibly met and trained with key al-Qaeda fighters."

Lebanon will always be a country of conflicts. Read again W. Thomson's quote from 1870:
And the same remarks apply to the minor divisions of this land. There is no common bond of union. Society has no continuous strata underlying it, which can be opened and worked for the general benefit of all, but an endless number of dislocated fragments, faults, and dikes, by which the masses are tilted up in hopeless confusion, and lie at every conceivable angle of antagonism to each other... Thus it has been, is now, and must long continue to be a people divided, meted out, and trodden down.
In close to 150 years, nothing has changed. We still call allegiance to Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iran, France, because we want to protect our sects, and not our country.

Honestly. I have never seen so many insanities, stupidities, idiocies ...
What do you want? You want to say that a curve is a straight line and that 2+2 = 22?
You want to say that others are criminals when you are commiting the crimes by killing and doing wars.
You want to say that we are Zionists because we do not approve your evilness.
You want to say that we are ISIS only because we do not like your intervention in Syria.
You want to say that we are Wahhabis because we are against you interfering in the affairs of Yemen.
You want to say that we spread hatred, because you have stolen our State decision and because we want peace and not war.
Well. You are absolutely right. I am fed up with you and agree that we must separate. I cannot live with idiots and satanic people.

Nasrallah should have listen to..
Hassan Nasrallah: "Does it concern us that we start a conflict with al Qaeda in Lebanon and consequently attract members and fighters of al Qaeda from all over the world to Lebanon to conduct their battle with the Lebanese Army and the rest of the Lebanese? We will not accept or provide cover or be partners in this." - 26 05 2007
