Faisal al-Moqdad: Whoever Antagonizes Syria in Lebanon Will Lose

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Syria’s Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal al-Moqdad on Wednesday said his country was suffering “attacks by terrorist groups across the Lebanese border,” adding that “Lebanese parties are supporting these terrorists.”

“The Lebanese supporters of these terrorist groups are well-known and we have documented and precise information in this regard,” Moqdad said in an interview with al-Manar television.

The Syrian diplomat called on the Lebanese “not to allow these terrorists to practice their acts” in Lebanon, urging “all sides to abide by the policy of good neighborliness and not to be in the service of the Gulf states’ agenda.”

“Whoever antagonizes Syria in Lebanon will not win, we will rather lose together,” Moqdad added.

Commenting on the latest deadly unrest in the northern city of Tripoli, Moqdad denied any Syrian involvement in spurring the violence, describing accusations in this regard as totally baseless.

Battles erupted on Saturday between residents of the rival Tripoli neighborhoods of Bab al-Tabbaneh and Jabal Mohsen when General Security agents arrested Shadi al-Mawlawi, a Salafist, on charges of belonging to a terrorist organization.

Mawlawi's supporters say he was targeted because of his help for Syrian refugees fleeing to Lebanon.

“The Lebanese supporters of these terrorist groups are well-known and we have documented and precise information in this regard,” Moqdad said in an interview with al-Manar television.

Unfortunately every time we show this documented and precise information to the public everyone quickly discovers that we have forged it, Wi2am Wahhabed it, Photoshopped it, fabricated it, Walid Mou3alemed it, or out and out lied about it. So from now on we will tell everyone that we have the documented and precise information but no one will ever get to see it even if they asked nicely, we don't want to be embarrassed any further Moqdad added.

You have to reap what you have sowed, sorry my short sighted friend but you banked on the wrong people. Your security was the Maronites but instead you banked on the weaker foundations, pay the price now and with interest.

For all the dead M14 souls they will haunt you forever...

This is a threat, pure and simple. The Assad Regime, if it survives will no doubt carry out reprisals in Lebanon against all in Lebanon who have supported the Syrian Opposition. Lebanon's fate is now tied very closely to that of the Syrian Opposition. They have said, and it is true, that they cannot stop their uprising, for if they do, the Assad Regime will execute them all. So they must persist and now, so must the Lebanese.
Assad must fall or else Lebanon will.

the assad regime is already dying, some die of heartattacks, others die slowly of cancer, the russian/chinese chemio therapy will keep the regime alive long enough to make a deal and shape the future of syria without the assads and his cronies. The regime is dead man walking, anyone who thinks syria will go back to pre-march 2011 is simply blind.
