Jumblat to Damascus: No Blame on Geagea, but on Those who Support him
2010-11-10
[An Nahar] Druze leader Walid Wally Jumblat
... who's been on every side in Leb at least four times...
will visit Damascus on Tuesday for talks with Syrian Vice-President Maj. Gen. Mohammed Nassif.

As-Safir newspaper quoted Jumblat as saying that there is a "historic moment" represented in talks between Syrian and Soddy Arabia. "Let us profit from this meeting between Damascus and Riyadh in order to avoid the damaging outcomes of the indictment," Jumblat said.

He accused the United States of seeking to torpedo the Syrian-Saudi rapprochement, pointing to the"clear" visit by US Senator John I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry.

Kerry's statements "aim to torpedo this rapprochement as if they (US) don't want to help Leb and strengthen its stability," Jumblat said, stressing that stability comes before justice.

He criticized statements made by Lebanese Forces
A Christian political party founded by Bashir Gemayel, who was then bumped off when he was elected president of Leb...
leader Samir Geagea
... Geagea was imprisoned by the Syrians and their puppets for 11 years in a dungeon in the third basement level of the Lebanese Ministry of Defense. He was released after the Cedar Revolution in 2005 ...
following his meeting with the U.S. ambassador.

"He (Geagea) is not to blame, but blame should fall on those who support him," Jumblat believed.

On Monday, Geagea said that if he had to choose between the Government and the Special Tribunal for Leb, then he would choose the Tribunal.
