Jumblat Refrains from Making Weekly Anbaa Statement 'in Anticipation of Strike against Syria'
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat refrained on Monday from making his weekly editorial in the PSP-affiliated al-Anbaa website “in anticipation of a possible military strike against Syria.”
He hoped in a statement that the “security and chemical repercussions of the strike will not reach Lebanon, despite the rising possibilities of the Syrian regime's intention to link Lebanon to this ever-escalating crisis.”
He noted sarcastically: “The majority of the Lebanese political class and its various local and external branches have turned into geopolitical analysts.”
“Television screens have become flooded with hundreds of military experts and retired generals of great capabilities in interpreting international positions and their strategic and tactical implications,” he added in the same tone.
“Their humble capabilities during their years of military service have emerged into the spotlight to bestow upon the people the gift of understanding major plots,” he continued.
Given that the political class has abandoned local concerns and the needs of the Syrian refugees and “instead focused its time and effort in studying the impending strike against Syria, the PSP will refrain from making its weekly statement to al-Anbaa,” Jumblat remarked.
“Some politicians have turned their bedrooms and bathrooms to operation rooms linked directly to the Pentagon and other regional powers,” he added.
“They have remained glued in front of television screens and set up radars in anticipation of the strike or of the movement of any warship with a complete disregard to the silly concerns of the Lebanese people,” he lamented.
“Therefore in order to avoid distracting the clear minds of these grand strategic analysts and in order to allow the people the right to maintain access to all political and military theories, no matter how absurd or superficial they may be, the PSP will distance itself from making its weekly statement,” Jumblat concluded.

Hope all politicians refrain, in fact stop, making th weekly political statement.
It is becoming like the Friday speech from the Imam, or the first communion on weekly basis.
Lebanese gets sleepy, or blindly accept as there is nothing else to do.....
Economy non existent
Tourist....bye bye
fear, taking over ambition
Uncertainty taking over planning for tomorrow.
As a result the negative atmosphere makes the society bankrupt/

Jumblat is the worst " politician" lebanese has ever seen or had to bear. He is constantly changing camps to preserve his status as druze leader and not even as lebanese leader. He is warlord since day 1 and getting worse with time. Im not with march 14h or march 8th but if i could be the leader of one of those two " clans" i would definitely have had Jumblat exiled by force because he is the one playing with the balance mostly and not letting people following those two camps see that both are irrelevant for Lebanon and wont move a finger without foreign orders.
