Report: Six Syria critics on hit-list
2005-12-16
Anti-Syrian Lebanese figures including Walid Jumblatt, the Druze leader, and Marwan Hamadeh, the minister for telecommunications, are among six men on what a Lebanese newspaper said was a new hit-list. Al-Balad newspaper, quoting government and parliamentary sources, on Thursday named the other alleged targets "on the hit-list of people to be killed" as Wael Abu Faoor, Samir Franjieh, Elias Atallah and Farid Makari, all deputies.

The list was published a day after prominent anti-Syrian MP and press magnate Jebran Tueni was buried in a politically and emotionally charged funeral following his killing in a bomb blast, which many blamed on Damascus. The six people named on Thursday all belong to the anti-Syrian majority in parliament that swept the polls in June in the first election in Lebanon after Syria withdrew from the country, ending nearly 30 years of political and military domination.

#3  Is Ass(w)ad going to go full-on until someone steps on him like a bug?

Yes, it's all he can do. Any sign of weakness, any pause, will result in revolution and revolt. As it is, he needs to be visited by a friendly tomahawk with a non-nuke lethal warhead - in the middle of a policy debate with his 'cabinet'.
