Jumblatt lied to Syrians for 25 years
Lebanon's head of progressive socialist Party, Walid Jumblatt, admits that he has deceived the Syrians for almost twenty five years. "I am not a real ally to Syrians and I am lying to them," said Jumblatt in an interview with Press TV. The Lebanon's Druze leader claimed that his father was killed by the Syrians. 'I decided to fix a pact with the devil and to shake hand the one who killed my father,' said Jumblatt, denouncing the fact that he had not the courage to declare the claim 25 years ago. Jumblatt implicitly admitted that he is ready to cooperate with Americans rather than his fellow citizens, accusing Hezbollah of facilitating or ignoring Syrian killings. "I will not give the veto power for the sake of Hezbollah and their allies and the Syrian regime," he said. "They can take it by force over our dead bodies" but "I am not going to give up the veto power for the sake of Hezbollah," he added.

Former President Amin Gemayel and Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea have hit back at accusations made by MP General Michel Aoun that the two March 14 leaders had "blocked the Bkirki meeting" that had been aimed at achieving consensus among Christian leaders on a presidential candidate.
"If we go over the most recent statements made by the French and Egyptian presidents as well as Russian officials, we know that the opposition and Syria, not the majority, are responsible for obstructing the presidential elections," Gemayel said Monday.
Geagea, in turn, criticized Aoun, saying he wished that the former army general "had relieved us on New Year's Eve from his theories and tampering." He pointed out that Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir had called for a broad Christian meeting "but Aoun did not accept." Geagea expressed dismay "because Syria has a clever spokesman," a reference to Aoun.
