March 8 Delegation Meets Mansour, Hails Stance over Syria
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Hizbullah, AMAL and Free Patriotic Movement delegations visited on Monday Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour to express solidarity with his recent stance over Syria at the Arab League meeting.
The deputy head of Hizbullah's political bureau, Mahmoud Qomati, stressed from Bustros Palace that the meeting was aimed at voicing support to Mansour's stance.
Mansour called in his speech at the Arab Ministerial Council in Cairo on Wednesday for scrapping a decision to suspend the membership of Syria from the Arab League.
The minister's statement drew the rejection of several officials locally including Prime Minister Najib Miqati.
President Michel Suleiman stressed over the weekend that any stance taken by government officials, in particular the Foreign Minister, should reflect the state's dissociation policy.
“We informed Mansour that he was able to carry out the dissociation policy at the Arab League as he rejected to allow the Arab countries to directly intervene in the developments in Syria,” Qomati told reporters.
He slammed those who criticized the FM, accusing them of violating the dissociation policy by offering sides money, arms and fighters.
Asked about the officials he is referring to, Qomati rejected to name anyone saying his statements are “general.”
The FM down played criticism on his speech after returning to Beirut, saying that he “carefully” chose his words as he is keen to preserve Lebanon's best interest.
The Arab League suspended Syria in November 2011 as a sharp rebuke for Assad's leadership over its brutal crackdown on demonstrators seeking to topple his regime.
It said at the time the suspension would apply until Assad implemented an Arab deal to end violence against protesters.
A year later, the League recognized the Syrian National Coalition headed by Ahmed Moaz al-Khatib as the "legitimate representative and main interlocutor with the Arab League.

The delegation proceeded to rub his belly and enjoyed a game of fetch... after which a bone was thrown followed by a breath mint.

Le grand GUIGNOL
Regardez bonnes gens notre grand Guignol,
Filochard, Ribouldingue et Croquignol,
les pieds nickelés, ne firent pas mieux,
il y a vraiment de quoi se remplir les yeux.
Voyez et admirez ceux qui nous dirigent,
la troïka bancale transformée en quadrige,
par la cooptation forcée du Sayed NASRALLAH,
le père de la victoire, la victoire d'ALLAH.
Nos nobles équidés, lancés dans l'arène,
sont menés par ceux qui en tiennent les rênes.
Des deux cochers, souvent, les ordres s'opposent,
la SYRIE lâche, l'IRAN tire, la vie n'est pas rose.

SOLEIMANE fait mine de ne pas comprendre,
MIQUATI, aux aguets, se laisse parfois surprendre,
BERRI acquiesce à tout ce qui est syrien,
NASRALLAH, sans hésiter, dit oui aux iraniens.
C’est la cacophonie ; le char de l’état souffre.
Balloté en tous sens, il côtoie le gouffre,
Ses moyeux malmenés menacent de se briser,
Le LIBAN humilié, s’en trouve martyrisé.
En arrière plan, furieux, Michel AOUN tempête,
Car, pour lui et son gendre, le LIBAN ne vaut pas tripette,
Rien ne les intéresse sauf leurs damnés budgets,
Il menace et insulte ceux qui parlent de rejet.
Ainsi, tout compte fait, l’argent reste le maître,
Mais tous, unanimes, refusent de l’admettre.

worthless traitors and isolationists--I guess Iran + Syria is greater than the sum of all other countries everywhere else.

This delegation was headed by Mahmoud Qomati, who the hell is this thing, in what official capacity does Qomati claim this: "We informed Mansour that he was able to carry out the dissociation policy at the Arab League as he rejected to allow the Arab countries to directly intervene in the developments in Syria". This goes against the President's and the Prime minister's stances about the issue, "We informed Mansour" wow!
Bare in mind Qomati was never elected to anything by the Lebanese people or by any of their Representatives. Hell even his boss Hassin was appointed by the illiterate Turbaned Iranian relic.
