Berri to Abandon Affiliation with March 8, 14 Camps during Speech Saturday
 [An Nahar] Speaker Nabih KnobbyBerri Speaker of the Lebanese parliament, a member of AMAL, a not very subtle Hizbullah sock puppet... is scheduled to make speech on Saturday afternoon to mark the 35th anniversary of the disappearance of Imam Moussa Sadr and his two companions, reported al-Liwaa newspaper on Saturday. If so, this is pretty large news. It means he's dumping his Hezbollah alliance in favor of neutrality. Parliamentary sources revealed that the speaker is expected to announce that "he no longer seeks to be politically affiliated with any authority in Leb, especially the March 8 and 14 camps." They added that he will not present any initiative to end the political deadlock in Leb. The speech is expected to highlight the dangers facing Leb given the tense regional situation and therefore stress the need to form a political government that unites all parties, added al-Liwaa. Berri will also warn against falling victim to attempts to create Sunni-Shiite strife in Leb. The sources added that he will address the regional situation and the repercussions a western strike against Syria may have on Leb. Berri's speech is scheduled for 5:30 on Saturday afternoon.
