Report: Jumblat Travels after Instructions to Reject ‘Explosive’ Draft Policy Statement
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat traveled on Saturday after instructing his representatives in the cabinet not to accept any “explosive” policy statement draft, the Kuwaiti al-Anbaa daily reported.
The newspaper said Monday it had no information about Jumblat’s destination.
The Druze chief instructed the ministers not to agree to a draft statement that “would lead to strife and confessional struggles that would change the country’s natural course,” al-Anbaa quoted sources close to him as saying.
The circles said that Jumblat accepts the clause on the international tribunal of the former cabinet’s policy statement.
“If the majority wasn’t able to control the situation and protect stability, then it would lose,” he reportedly told his ministers.

Way to go Walid. Run. Yeah, that's what you father Kamal would have done. He'd have run too in order to save his backside, right? Wrong. Kamal Jumblatt bucked efforts by Syria to exercise hegemony over Lebanon knowing who and what he was bucking and stayed in Lebanon to pay the ultimate price that any Lebanese nationalist has had to pay at the hands of the murderers across the border and their retainers inside of Lebanon.
The death toll of Lebanese nationalists leadership is staggering, and from all confessional groups:
Musa Sadr - Shia
Bashir Gemayel - Maronite
Kamal Jumblatt - Druze
Rafiq Hariri - Sunni
Walid, has always aspired to be the leader that his father was. The message he has left his deputies is the correct message. If only the messenger had the courage of the people that he leads.

i would add to beiruti's list (although not a martyr) samir geagea who faces his fate, and across the spectrum of patriotism michel aoun who ran away leaving his own family behind, and his generals being massacred

Yes, Beiruti, I agree with you. Kamal Junbalt was a great nationalist leader who I always liked more than his son. You have an interesting list: Musa Sadr was one of Syria's Assad closest ally. Bashir Gemael would have been excuted by Jumblatt in 1976, if it wasn't for Syria intervention to save the Right wing Christians from PLO and LNM defeat. And, Rafiq Hariri who was installed by the Syrian Moukhabarat would never have become a prime minister if Syria never intevened in Lebanon. Don't you hate the Assad regime? Incredible!
