March 14: We Won't Yield to Blackmail
2010-11-14
[An Nahar] The General Secretariat of the March 14
Those are the good guys, insofar as Leb has good guys...
Forces on Saturday snapped back at Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah over his latest speech on the occasion of "Hizbullah's Martyr Day."

"Despite the positive elements Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's speech contained in terms of opening a window of hope and counting on the Saudi-Syrian efforts to preserve stability, he unleashed his imagination in a conspiratorial explanation of events," March 14 forces said in a statement.

Nasrallah addressed accusations of treason to Lebanese groups and leaders "devoting their lives for the sake of protecting Leb and its illusory sovereignty," said the statement.

"The March 14 forces, that are holding onto justice and stability together, will not succumb to blackmail" that aims to make Leb a failed State "as a prelude to toppling it," the statement went on to say.

"The State's failure to honor its commitments towards the international community and perform its constitutional duties is the fertile ground for strife, which is rejected by everyone."

The general secretariat noted that "the March 14 forces has made many initiatives in calling on Hizbullah to work together on the basis of 'unifying the accomplishments of liberation and independence' for the sake of Leb, instead of putting them against each other."

"Does this formula represent a conspiracy against anyone in Leb?" the general-secretariat wondered.

"Our stance regarding Hizbullah's arms has no ambiguities, and it is based upon one point: resolving this controversial issue through the mechanisms of dialogue and domestic understanding, according to the principle of integrating this weapons arsenal within the State ... Does this public stance contain 'hidden stitches" and a satanic conspiracy?"

Responding to Nasrallah's charges that some of the March 14 forces were trying to sabotage the Saudi-Syrian efforts with the help of Washington, the statement noted that "if Sayyed Nasrallah has 'some problem' with the Saudi-Syrian rapprochement, we hope he does not create a virtual solution to his real problem."

Brute force is another thing entirely.
