Qassem Slams Opposition, Says Cabinet Will Not Collapse
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Hizbullah deputy Chief Sheikh Naim Qassem stressed on Saturday that the cabinet will not collapse despite everything, the National News Agency reported.
“March 14 is struggling with its political options and their approach to developments in Lebanon and Syria,” Qassem said.
He slammed the March 14-led opposition saying: “Isn’t it time for the opposition to review their approach and rectify its options?”
Qassem noted that the March 14 forces expected the regime in Syria would collapse but they failed in their approach.
He also lashed out at U.S. ambassador to Lebanon Maura Connelly, stressing: “Lebanon will not follow the U.S. administration’s orders… Lebanon is capable of taking its own decisions.”
Connelly urged Lebanese authorities on Tuesday to provide the humanitarian needs of all Syrian refugees, including dissenters and deserters of the Free Syrian Army.
“We refuse setting up refugee camps in Lebanon for the Syrians entering the country, because it will turn into a military base against Syria and against Lebanon eventually,” Qassem noted.
According to the U.N. refugee agency, about 2,000 people have fled to Lebanon in recent days, many from Homs and particularly its opposition stronghold of Baba Amr.
A large number have sought refuge in the Bekaa region with family members already living there.
Others headed from the Bekaa further north to the coastal Lebanese town of Tripoli or to the Wadi Khaled area, where the majority of the 7,058 Syrians registered in Lebanon as refugees are living.
Qassem reiterated that the resistance is “doing great” and ready to confront the Israeli threats.
“If it wasn’t for the resistance’s readiness, Israel would’ve occupied Lebanon again a long time ago,” the Hizbullah official said.

I hope this is a recent picture of Kassam because he looks desperate weak and pleading like a begger man. The taking down of Syria is the weakening of Hezbollah. So of course, Hezbollah will not participate or aid in the taking down of Syria and Hezbollah will insure that its captive government in Beiruit, likewise will not so assist.
We know the game. Weaken Syria, or bring down Assad, which isolates Hezbollah in Lebanon leaving it vulnerable to Israel, which causes Iranian capitulation to the IAEA on its nuclear weapon ambitions.
Hezbollah is armed in Lebanon, backed by Syria supported by Iran as a failsafe deterrent to keep Israel at bay while it develops its nuclear weapon capability, which will render the Iranian theocracy invulnerable. Hezbollah, a Lebanese party?? Such a joke, it is a power projection tool of Iran pure and simple.

jcamerican yep but unlike in Iran in Lebanon you can still give your opinion without being murdered by the state, that is unless you try to make fun of hassan on tv them you and people like you will be attacked by the Iranian funded militia.

bigdig, I bet you have been to the cabarets more than any one here. Iran is a backwards country like it or not, and buildings and and its defunct Nuclear or Space proagrammes dont make it modern as well.
These are set up to try and challenge the Western World, in which they will fail. IF you looked closely when you were in Iran you would have noticed many places like the Maameltin except you chose to ignore this fact.

I have not been to Iran, but I have been to all places in Lebanon. The worst looking towns in Lebanon are those controlled by Hezb and Salafis. Crowded, unsanitary, unlicensed buildings in violation of all civil laws and backward mentalities that can not tolerate diversity.

Have you been to America Mr. jcamerican? Iran looks like shit compared to america. Have some patriotic feelings and call for a civilized and secular Lebanon not a Lebanon ruled by Mullahs promoting a Shiite Umah. If you can not do that at least change your name to jciran.

To your knowledge no one can rule Lebanon. Even Lebanon cannot rule Lebanon. You guys don't function like a normal country. Any country would have collapsed a long time ago, with all the bullshit you have. Yet still you survived. Don't waste your time labeling me M8 or M14. I have no interest in your camps. I comment here, because I have a soft spot for Lebanon. Plus I don't like our foreign policies. You preach democracy, yet you brush away comments you don't like, and label them HA or Iranians.

A military base that will turn against Lebanon eventually,” Qassem noted
There atready is an Iranien military base in Lebanon That has turned on the people and are in bed with the Assads... Your only concern is with keeping the Assads in power, so that your armaments keep rolling in.

Gaby are you Christian? Cause last I checked your priests wear turbans too. Don't forget that nuns are also covered from head to toe with only their face showing. Covering and turbans are not religion specific but more modesty in General. Long live the resistance.

Why is having ANY Iranian involved in Lebanon a good idea? Hezbollah is turning back the hands of time. If this keeps up, you can kiss life as you know it good-bye. We will all be back to the days of cave people.
Don't let the costume fool you, even the Iranians can't handle living that way. This is all an act to suck more money out of the more civilized countries in the Middle East.
THIS IS A BUSINESS FOR THEM AND THEY ARE USING US FOR MONEY!
This is ridiculous.

iran is a hell hole controlled by turban wearing, bearded morons who think god have them power to rule they way they want. these idiots and their religious relics belong no where but in a mosque, they shouldnt tell people how they live, they need to shut up and crawl back under the rock they came out from under. I dont want one of these morons speaking on my behalf, i dont want theseknuckle heads to mention to the world that they are lebanese, because in reality they are not, they are kohmeiny peeeeaarsians and they need to go back

all ambassadors think or said the same thing... it is merely a humanitarian aproach... thare is no need to politicize everything... to welcome syrians is a duty, just like welcoming anyone who needs some kind of assistance...
