Jumblat Says he ‘Gave Up,’ Hints Aoun Behind Cabinet Delay
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat denied that his latest stance from Hizbullah was aimed at requesting a “political asylum back to the March 14 forces,” As Safir newspaper reported on Tuesday.
“I am frustrated and depressed. I gave up,” Jumblat said.
He stressed that his last cry didn’t lead to any result. The newspaper quoted him as saying that “I won’t repeat it, I can’t and I don’t want to disagree with them, I refuse to do anything.”
Jumblat was referring to his remarks about Hizbullah’s rejection to form the new cabinet. He told al-Akhbar daily last week that the Shiite party was putting Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun at the forefront of the government formation problems.
The PSP leader noted that the cabinet formation obstacle is local and “Hizbullah can sort it out especially with Michel Aoun.”
Hinting that Aoun was behind the delay in the cabinet formation, he said: “It’s wrong to say that (PM-designate) Najib Miqati is the obstacle. He seems to be giving up just like me, and he is frustrated.”
“He already answered to all Aoun’s terms what more can he do?” Jumblat wondered.
He rejected accusations that his meeting with U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Jeffrey Feltman during his last visit to Beirut was a “conspiracy.”
“Feltman came to Lebanon to try putting some pressure on Syria,” he stressed, refusing to reveal the details of his closed-door meeting with the U.S. official.
The MP told the newspaper that “some parties are busy with their personal wars, while the administration, army, and security are handicapped.” He hoped that Saad Hariri would carry out his duties as caretaker PM.
When asked about the repercussions of the indictment that will be issued by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, he said that “even if the indictment was issued nothing will change. It’ll be forgotten after a while.”
As Safir reported that the PSP leader came back from Doha overnight, feeling more concerned after he saw a decisive Qatari decision refusing to resume the dialogue and contacts with the Syrian leadership.
Jumblat held a meeting with Qatar’s emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, who held the Syrian president responsible for abolishing the Doha agreement.

You may gave up on M8 but we gave up on you long time ago. In any case depite immediate problems better days are ahead as the two regional tyrants conducting M8 orchestra are losing grip on power. Freedom will be knocking Hizbollahstan door soon and the useful idiots will have much explaining to do, probably in courts as is happening in Egypt. We'll see you there... sad to see you betting on the tyrants and the Basij in your last reincarnation, a betting that will tarnish your entire political career and define your legacy! You deserve to reap what you sow…

M8 should have never picked a billionaire for PM. So many Lebanese leaders wanted to jump the fallen M14 ship. M8 should not have picked any one to join them.

What we need in Lebanon is that all traditional politicians retire and leave us, especially those who were involved in strifes and little wars. It is time we have new blood, new energy and new era for Lebanon....

Same arguments. M14 supporters attack M8 supporters for being Syrian and Iranian puppets. M8 supporters attack M14 supporters for being American (israeli) and saudi puppets. And, they are both right. The differance that needs to be pointed out is that in Lebanon and the entire Arab world the criminal states of America and Israel are the most hated. That is why M8 will beat M14 in any peoples elections.
