Lebanese Voices Warn Syria Pushing Hizbullah Takeover
(IsraelNN.com) The son of murdered former prime minister Rafik Hariri accused Syria on Thursday of using local and foreign battles in which Arab children were killed to incite Lebanese citizens to a possible civil war. “Syria is making a cynical use of the blood of children in the village of Qana, Gaza and Baghdad,” he said.
Nice to see someone in Lebanon who see's things clearly
Saad Hariri is the majority leader in the Lebanese parliament, the governmental body which includes two official Hizbullah terrorists as members, in addition to three other pro-Hizbullah legislators. Hariri’s coalition partner, Druze leader Walid Jumblatt, joined him in charging Syrian President Bashar Assad with working to destabilize Lebanon with the goal of creating a Syrian-backed Hizbullah takeover.

“The common thing between them,” said Jumblatt, referring to Hizbullah and Assad, “is a coup. One rose to power through his father’s military takeover and the other is conspiring to bring about a political revolution in Lebanon.” Other Lebanese politicians have also accused Syria of using the war between Israel and Hizbullah to weaken the country enough to allow for a Syrian takeover.

Syrian parliament member Faisal Kulthum strongly condemned Hariri’s statements, calling him a “small and stupid agent who is pinning his hope on foreign forces.” The Syrian government has been heavily implicated in the assassination of Hariri’s father.
