Qmati: US pressures can lead to civil war but Aoun, Berri and Salam don't want instability
Hezbollah political bureau member Mahmoud Qmati has warned that “Washington wants Lebanon to be a U.S. colony” and that “U.S. pressures might lead the country to chaos and civil war.”
He however reassured that President Joseph Aoun, Speaker Nabih Berri and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam “do not want to jeopardize stability in Lebanon,” in an interview on Radio Voice of Freedom.
Noting that Hezbollah has given the government “an open-ended chance to end Israeli occupation and halt the violations,” Qmati said “the resistance’s military capabilities are still powerful and ready to confront any aggression when the time comes,” adding that “Israel wants to expand the buffer zone and Washington does not respect the Lebanese formula.”
“The army will abide by the political decision and our relation with it was and is still good,” Qmati added.
“We and the army were comrades-in-arms,” the Hezbollah official said, adding that “the Lebanese Army cannot confront all the threats that are surrounding us from four sides, and we must stand by it as people, resistance and parties.”
He also said that he believes that there will be no military strike on Iran.

He seems so worried that he doesn't want an American clone, but didn't think twice about being an Iranian one.

Funny how while they're getting sodomised daily, by the Israelis in the south and the new Syrian regime in the east and north, they turn on the communities that stood by and sheltered their people during the war and threaten them with chaos and civil war. The only civil war I see is between Mahmoud Qmati's own faction within Hezbollah and the faction of Wafiq Safa the head of Hezbollah's Liaison and Coordination Unit.
