, in an attempt to reconsider his current relation with the Damascus regime.

"I haven't reached this level of political dotage and stupidity," Jumblat told the PSP-affiliated al-Anbaa website.

The Daily Star newspaper reported on Monday that Lebanese Democratic Party leader MP Talal Arslan has conveyed a letter form Jumblat to Assad, in which the PSP leader asked for a reconsideration of the relations between his party and the Syrian regime.

The report also said the letter included asking Assad to allow two Druze soldiers to rejoin the Syrian army after they had announced their defection.

"Assad sent a partial reply to Jumblat," The Daily Star quoted sources close to the March 8 alliance as saying.

Arslan on Monday denied these reports.
