Syria-Lebanon-Iran

Geagea: Hizbullah's Links to Regional Disputes Will Have Consequences on Lebanon

2011-11-11

[An Nahar] 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 ...
accused Hizbullah of refusing to contact other Lebanese factions in the country, saying that it opposes holding talks with "imperialists" or whoever it cannot persuade to support its agenda.

He told al-Joumhouria newspaper in remarks published on Thursday: "Hizbullah's security and military connections with regional powers will incur consequences on Leb if it launched a confrontation with the West and Arab world."

Asked of possible repercussions the developments in Syria may have on Leb, he replied: "Given the current government, anything is possible."

"I am a regular citizen and I do not feel as if I have a responsible state looking after my wellbeing because the country is completely exposed on the security and ethical levels," he remarked.

In addition, he noted that the dangerousness of the Syrian incursions into Lebanese territory does not lie in their extent, but in what they mean.

"This government does not even recognize itself because it does not exist," he stressed.

"The March 14
Those are the good guys, insofar as Leb has good guys...
forces are revising the developments of the previous phase in order to avoid repeating the same mistakes when it returns to power, and we will return," the LF leader stated.

"The government is better off resigning because it will result in a catastrophe in Leb and it won't achieve anything for the country," Geagea said.

Addressing the developments in Syria, he stressed: ""Any initiative on Syria, whether it is Arab or foreign, will fail because if the Syrian regime will fall if it allows one percent of an initiative to be implemented."

"This reality will eventually lead to the involvement of foreign powers in Syria," he remarked.

He added however that the fall of the regime is inevitable.

#1 When the war with Iran/syria/Hizballa/Hamas starts ( and start it will... very soon- it is now unavoidable) I hope my government has enough sense to use tactical nuclear weapons on Hizballa and Syria in order to neutralize the little dogs so that we can deal with the big Dog (The Iranian Mullah's) - I also hope they have sufficient balls to use whatever weapon is necessary to eraze as much of Irans Nuke and conventional military capacity for at least 20 years.
This is now clearly a survival war for us and this will have to be an all out confrontation and a decisive war, the results of which will determine the fate of the middle east hegemony for the next 50 years.
Europe is already deeply poisoned by radical Islam and incapacitated by malignant socialism at the expense of the working class. Despite some heavy duty rhetoric, they cannot and will not do anything because they do not perceive3 Iran to be an immediate danger - they haver lost the will to live.
The US is another matter despite the financial dire straights I think most US citizens realize that if the US does not rise to the challenge the Iran/China/Russia coalition will gradually kick US influence out of the middle east and sooner or later will cut out all oil supplies to the US.
We (Israel) must now confront the prospects of staring anf following this war on our own because if we don't we will be anihilated mercilessly within 10 years.
If the US will help - so much the better. If not-the current POTUS risks being dragged into this forcefully ( when Israel Initiates the strike on Iran) and having to go down history as the US equivalent of the British Chamberlain kowtowing before the IslamoNazi's.
Moreover, since we will possibly be attacked simultaneously by at least Iran+Syria+Hamas+Hizballah+ maybe Egypt and Turkey as well, if we are ditched by our allies we will have to use strategic nuclear weapons to destroy arab and Iranian infrastructure because we cannot cope with all of them simultaneously.
I hope we will not have to do this but if we have our back to the wall we will !
