Hariri: Whoever killed my Dad doesn’t want me in power

Share:

Outgoing Prime Minister Saad Hariri told the New York Times in an interview on Wednesday at his residence in down town Beirut that whoever killed his father doesn’t want him to be in power.

“Whoever killed Rafik Hariri in 2005 doesn’t want Saad Hariri to be in power.” Hariri said.

“What’s happening today is that they are trying to achieve what they wanted to achieve in 2005,” Hariri added in reference to so called coup to bring down his government

Hariri was also asked if his father would have made the same choices in these political developments.

Hariri responded by saying : “It’s a very difficult question to answer. I went very far with what I wanted to achieve for this country, in this deal, and unfortunately I wasn’t met halfway.”In reference to the Saudi-Syrian failed efforts to end the Lebanese crisis.

PM designate Najib Mikati did confirm yesterday that he was nominated to protect Hezbollah. He told AFP on Tuesday : “My nomination by Hezbollah does not make me committed to any political stance other than protecting the Resistance.” This was a possible reference to Hezbollah’s five point plan.

In response to a question about his willingness to sever in the new government that will be formed by Mikati , Hariri said: “I have to sit down with my allies and consult with them before I decide ” Hariri told New York Times.

The Iranian and Syrian backed Hezbollah and its March 8 allies brought down Hariri’s government on January 12 over the Special Tribunal for Lebanon ( STL) indictment which is widely expected to implicate Hezbollah members in the assassination of former PM Rafik Hariri in 2005 .

According to analysts the issue in Lebanon is not who is Mikati as much as how did Mikati get nominated and by whom

    Hariri is being honest and straight forward. He wanted the best for Lebanon and he could not do too much because of HA and their allies stopped at every corner and would not let him succeed. I bet one thing if he dropped the support for STL, they would have at least not brought any of the failures of his gov’t. they would not have brought any issues of corruptions if they have proof of it. He was telling them that we can meet you half way but they wanted it all just like after the Doha agreement and many other agreements. They wanted it all and do not want to give up anything in the process. On top of it they don’t want him to find out who killed his father and many great Lebanese that were killed before and after him. Hezbollah before it was accused thru the media that it was behind the killing. Never came up before and said like Nassrallah did in July of 2010 where he was trying to show it was Israelis who did it. All they said before it was israel but he never came before and demonstrated on TV how it was Israel he accused of the assassinations. So why didn’t he come up with this info before? or wait until the speculation of being accused? Has Hezbollah fought hard to find the killers? have they tried at all to find the killers of a man whom he himself supported before? killing of a man whom he took care of Beirut after many Israelis wars? why is Nassrallah has not up to date avenged Muginieh killers since he knows that it was really Syria who killed him in trying to cover all their corners of being accused of the assassinations? Why is HA wants to spread civil war message if accused while no one on the other side wants to fight it? only the guilty acts like this and guilty they are and God is mightier than any swords of Hezbollah and Iran and the whole world combined. Its time for their heads to roll and they will roll inshallah soon.

    Get real Saad.
    You failed to preserve a giant political legacy,which took years to build by your late father.
    You failed to lead your own supporters,except when you wanted their vote .
    You failed to become an effective prime minister.You spent over 200 days outside of the country in little over a year in office.
    Stop using your father’s blood to gain sympathy. Stop playing the victim
    The office of the Prime minster is the most important position in the country. It is the executive branch of the government .Although it is filled by a Sunni leader because of the sectarian system , it is an office for all Lebanese.You can’t exclusively claim this office . You could not even keep your own allies with you.
    Your father knew how to loose and how to win. You should learn to be honorable when you you loose,and humble when you win.Acting like a sore looser is not a good example of leadership.
    You’ve been telling us for along time that everyone should respect the constitution, Yet when they listened to you and resigned using their constitutional rights, You didn’t take it well. You told us you will respect the result of consultations ,yet when you lost You called the result a coupe( your own media) by wilat alfaqieh .
    Are you going to respect the constitution ,ONLY when it serves your own interest?
    I know you grew up getting anything you wanted, but now you are a national leader, The nation isn’t your parents to please you all the time. you need to earn things.Nothing is taken for granted.people sympathized with you and gave you the leadership, But You have failed.Now it is time to work hard for it.
    You are still young, and have plenty of time . Take some time off ,and reexamine your experience ,and draw your own conclusions.You can always learn and come back.In the meantime, act responsibly,and stop your media outlets from feeding the sectarian divide. YOUR FATHER WAS NEVER A SECTARIAN MAN, NOR SHOULD YOU BE.
    We have had enough of you using your father’s blood every time you feel cornered.

      Tfeh on you and your ignorant comments. the Doha agreements second point is as follows:

      “forming a national unity government composed of 30 ministers distributed among the majority (16 ministers), the opposition (11 ministers) and the president (3 ministers), and by virtue of this agreement, all parties commit not to resign or obstruct the government’s actions.”

      Saad brought back Berri and reached across the aisle to terrorists and iranian proxies and what he got in return for it was the opposition defaulting on the Doha agreement. Hezbollah has proven to be the one acting childish here, not March 14. Saad is the prime minister elected by the people of Lebanon and replacing him with Mikati was tantamount to a coup.

      We, as sunni March 14th Lebanese, have made many concessions in the last half decade and they ultimately led us to this point. Khalas ba2a. No more “National Unity” bullshit. We are being bullied by terrorists who sit in caves and use foreign weapons to impose their will on us. You threatened a weaker man in Jumblatt and caused him to turn. He literally said in his speec he gave up on justice for the sake of stability…What Walid is too short sighted to see is that there cannot be real stability without justice. We, the true Lebanese people, want justice against this terrorist organization that has implanted themselves in our country under the false pretense of being a resistance against Israel. Your true colors showed on May 7th when you killed Lebanese citizens in their home…To hell with you and everyone like you..

And yes, I did insult you, and no, I do not take it back not for one second. However, I do encourage you to respond to the arguments presented before you.

        I completely understand your frustration Mo and agree with it 100%, but please let us keep the postings on this site polite and without any personal insults. At the end we are all Lebanese. Granted some sold themselves to Syria and/or Iran and are threatening us with their weapons all the time, but their end will come sooner or later. This odd situation cannot endure for ever, hiding behind “Allah” and the so-called “Resistance” to steal the country’s resources and impose their will on the majority of the people. Look at Syria, 5% of it’s territory is occupied and they DO NOT HAVE A RESISTANCE. Our land is free, yes thanks to Hizbullah, but still we need a resistance….as if the weapons that this party has can compare with what Israel has.
        By the way, up till now we have not demarcated our frontiers with Syria, when this will happen, I am 100% sure that we will see that Syria occupies Lebanese territory much much more than what Israel right now has. Would Hizbullah become a resistance against the new occupier, Syria? I doubt it….

          My apologies to you then Constantin7. I do let my emotions get the best of me sometimes but I’ve been watching the tele and reading the news. The filth that March 8 has been spewing is becoming intolerable. Nassr-shaytan telling the Lebanese Hezb-shaytan doesnt want to take control of the Lebanese government AFTER he overthrew the democratically elected PM is nonsense. Hariri has done everything a PM can do to bridge the gaps even when it is becoming more and more apparent that these people KILLED HIS FATHER…yeh..il3ama. They want him to turn his back on the cedar revolution and his father…It will never happen. A civil war would be tragic, and we lived through this tragedy the first time. But I prefer war to protect justice, than peace without justice. This is not because I am a war monger (I leave that to the March 8 people). But a war now is better than the status quo where an armed group not representing the interest of the Lebanese people is allowed to overthrow a democratically elected government. I will never apologize for my hatred of anyone who supports March 8. I am fairly entrenched in my belief that not only Lebanon would be a better place without them, but Earth would be a better place without their existence to ruin it.

        M @M,
        If people told you that you are the perfect idiot. I’d tell you that you are not perfect, but you are doing all right.
        BTW I didn’t insult anybody.If you took my criticism of him as insult, then you proved the above statement
        As long as Lebanese people worship their leaders and refuse to criticize or question them, they will never be able to build a state worthy of its name.
        There is a difference between following a leader and supporting him, and simply following him blindly.
        If one can’t criticize a national leader, that leader is not worth following. No public figure should have immunity from criticism or accountability. If one can’t take the heat of politics, He /She should not be in politics.
        There is no reason for me to respond to your comment since you have already shown that you will defend your leader regardless of his failure or success. It’s simply ignorance. You have no independent views, and no objectivity; you simply copycat your leader and his media machine.
        So spare me the debate, I’ll let you win anyway. Lol
        You choose to worship people/leaders, I CHOOSE NOT TO DO SO.
