Jumblatt calls for eliminating Assad, arming Syria rebels

Share:

Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblatt called for the eliminating Syrian President Bashar Assad and the arming of the rebels.

“Since Assad is still strong and his army is strong, he is not going to leave power. Therefore he should be eliminated, nothing less or more than that,” Jumblatt said.

In an interview with the radio station France Info, Jumblatt said that short of Assad being killed, he should be exiled to Siberia in Russia or the Iranian desert.

On arming the rebels he said

“I call for providing the Syrian people with arms and equipment to enable them to resist and shoot down the helicopters and warplanes that Assad is using against the towns and the whole population.”

More than 19,000 people, mostly civilians, have died in violence unleashed by Assad’s forces in its attempt to crush the uprising that started in March 2011, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights .

    Tsk tsk Jumblatt. Is that the old ‘Warhorse’ waking up? Or are we trying to get the hands on something to stop Israeli overflights?

        Sorry Constantin. It is a word to represent the sound of the tongue against the teeth … like a ‘click’. Something representing a sad ‘shame on you’ comment … 😉
        Amazingly, not in my Oxford … though understood by many.

    Aren’t you ashamed every few months you take a different political position ya walid ? Do you think the public has no memory or what ? Considering your continuous flip flop policies, I advise you to shut up for your own sake and your own safety. Although, I am completely against Assad and his atrocities, you are no more in a position to be against or for anybody. Just stick to your local political, social and economic activities in the Chouf and Aley and don’t involve yourself into the Syrian drama because you lost all sort of credibility and it does not benefit you anything. A comment like yours could upset the Syrian regime so much that they could EASILY use one of their agents in Lebanon to ELIMINATE you first, before Assad is eliminated. Good luck ya Walid !

    Though he ‘flips’ and then may ‘flop’, seems once-in-a-while he lands right side up!
