جنبلاط: انا مع "جبهة النصرة" ضد النظام السوري

Jumblat is famous for his zingers and this is another one. The interest of Syria does not lie with a criminal regime or a fanatical organization. It is in a democratic, pluralistic state where the rule of law and human dignity reign supreme.

And you expected Assad to just pack up and move?

again accusing others of being Israelis because they differ in opinion.
mowaten: you and your likes are the Israelis on this site.

Jumblatt (john tiler) is the classic example of how broken is Lebanese politics! A pollution of democracy when we have such a sectarian chief as a major influential politician. His only concern is his position as Druze leader... Not Lebanese leader. He doesn't give a crap about Lebanon or it's non druze people!

The funniest thing is how both sides of the coin are so eager to accept when he switches sides! I have a clip of him on bbc hardtack in 2004 defending the Syrian occupation of Lebanon. Then he switches sides and is m14. Then he swapped to the other side and invited Aoun to his house. Now he allies his movement in a Syrian civil war against the ruling regime.

What an animal!

Do you know the name of this song or the singer??

I watching MTV Lebanon, Ma Fi Metlo - Season 2 - Episode 23

the song starts @ 8:51 ...
Have you ever heard it or know the artist name, thanks.

Geha, al-kafi is either a troll or like mowaten said an Israeli. He is too dedicated to posting anti-Shia comments, but his grammar shows he is educated, so we know he's not ignorant, he's just choosing to sound that way... The question is why?

@mowaten, the kettle calling the pot black, you Irani peasant you.

Next time read the article you post... might help you not look foolish:

The majority of the Syrian military are Sunni, but most of the military leadership are Alawites. Alawites make up 12 percent of the Syrian population but are estimated to make up 70 percent of the career soldiers in the Syrian Army.[10][21] Of the 200,000 or so career soldiers in the Syrian Army, 140,000 are Alawites.[22] A similar imbalance is seen in the officer corps where some 80 percent of the officers are Alawites. The military’s most elite divisions, the Republican Guard and the 4th Mechanized Division, which are commanded by Bashar's brother, are exclusively Alawite.

FT - The Syrian senior corp is dominated by alawite. You lose credibility when denying that. Most (not all) senior officers that are Sunni (like Tlass) are decoration.

@theresistance, yes yes shower us with possible facts to obscure the actual issue....were you around when the Assad senior bombed 7alab?
Probably not...brainwashed revisionist.

FT you have major issues... Sure there are some sunnis in the top leadership.. the damn article i posted says 80% of the leadership is Alawite .. so there is room for 20% BEING FROM OTHER CONFESSIONS.
I also love the fact that you call Syria a non-sectarian country and blame everyone else for seeing things in a sectarian way instead of seeing the truth and the way it really is that Assad is and always has been sectarian, appointing only his own to high command posts.. you are either a fool or blind and ignorant to call the people who point out sectarianism sectarian.

Once again the West played its' hand wrong. Assad had no choice but to seek allies. Assad was good enough when the west wanted to torture its' prisoners ... Assad was on board in the first Gulf War.

It is the West that constantly turns against anyone that doesn't satisfy their immediate whims. Israel repeatedly violated Syria's territory and refused to negotiate on the Golan. Assad had to find an ally.

You may have been born yesterday but I've been around a while ... It is a documented fact that the greatest purveyors of terrorism are the USA, Saudi Arabia and Israel.

Ghadafy was suppressing al Qaeda, as were Syria and Iraq. You can claim your own opinions but not your own facts ... That you print this garbage can only mean ignorance or complicity.

@ slash

Syria #1 exporter of terror ... the Mossad, Saudi Arabia and the CIA thank you for your ignorance ...

No, what is responsible for that is you and your girlfriend GMA

geha
so with your logic , right now if there was a census taken in Lebanon, 40% of the population is Shia, so all of you should go back to the mountains

wrong again guys trying to play the numbers :)
according to the previous elections:
- Christians were at 37%, which leaves 63% to muslims.
- 63% are divided between: sunnis, shia, druze and alawaites.
- furthermore, the numbers of the sunnis were 50 to 60K abve those of shia.
these numbers can be checked easily, so go play in iran, as you do not represent more than 30% at best, if ever.
you are the ones who should leave us alone.

Rafehh... Abdul Khaddam. The Syrian vice Presidant from 1984 - 2005 and right hand man of Afez el Assad and son was decoration? There was no Muslim sectarian (civil war) issues back then. Rustom Ghazali, the Syrian boss of Lebanon from 2001... is he not Sunni?

This is nothing but a middle eastern sectarian war that diverts attention from Israel/palestine!!

Ado - yes. He was decoration. The fact that when assad died, he was totally sidelined attest to that fact. He may have been a big guy in relation to the common man but he did not yield much power at the top tier of the system.
