SYRIA WITHDREW IN THEORY, BUT STAYED IN PRACTICE; MORE AND WORSE THAN BEFORE. IT WENT OUT THROUGH THE DOOR AND CAME BACK IN THROUGH THE WINDOWS.
Original Title: SYRIA’S SHADOW STILL LOOMS LARGE OVER LEBANON
By AFP via Yahoo News Alerts! Saturday 26th April 2008
Shadows cannot and do not exist without objects and light. Syria’s shadows - which it calls its FIENDS - are still very raucous active and highly destructive only because Syria is still here. Emile Le-Hood, Michael Aouu, Silly-man Frantic-Franjieyeh, Nabih Beriberi Berri, Hassan Nesa-Allah Nesrallah, Wigwam-head Wahaha, and all the rest of the opposition have imposed shadows between Lebanon and the Lebanese people, and the light of Freedom and the right to manage their own affairs.
BEIRUT: Three years after Syria had ended its near 30-year military presence in Lebanon withdrawn its troops, Damascus stands accused of Syria is still pulling strings here; keeping its tiny neighbour paralysed by political deadlock.
On 26th 2005, Syria withdrew the last of its officials who had reigned as the actual leaders in Beirut, as the final 14,000 troops of a force which had once numbered 40,000 were sent home. They are all still here, and more than before, disguised as tradesmen, workers, manual labourers, and bagel-sellers; with weapons hidden but instantly available. Not all of us are Etc and so forth and so on!
The pullout was the result of international pressure after angry street protests and demonstrations in Lebanon sparked by the assassination of former Prime Minister, Rafiq Hariri; an attack that many blamed on Syria. The pullout was a only a show that was put on to hoodwink the Lebanese and throw dust into the eyes of the rest of the world, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out that Kofi Annan and The UN orchestrated it. I told you: Not all of us are Etc, and so forth and so on.
Damascus denied all involvement in Hariri's death. So what? Whoever heard or read of murderers or any other criminals admitting or confessing to crimes from the onset of investigations? They dodge and avoid, lie and squirm, and weep and sneer, and…until they realise that the evidence against them is fool-proof and hole-proof; then they start thinking up ways and means of bargaining for their miserable lives!
Syrian forces swept into Lebanon in 1976, a year after the outbreak of a bloody civil war which raged for 15 years until 1990 and left more than 150,000 people dead and thousands more missing. HEY! FUCK YOU! What about the millions who left the country with only their shirts on their backs - so to speak - and the hundreds of thousands who are still leaving - scattered to the four winds? BY GOD!
The row has pitted the anti-Syrian ruling coalition, which primarily comprises Sunni, Christian and Druze factions, against the Hezbollah-led opposition consisting mostly of Shiite and Fake-Christian political groups.
The opposition considers the government illegal and illegitimate - and yet calls for dialogues with this very same illegal and illegitimate government - parliament has not convened for 16 months, and Suleiman is also set to leave office as head of the army at the end of August, risking a void in the military leadership. All according to Syria’s and Iran’s plan and all according to the gospels of Syria and Iran via their ASSES!
Parliament, led by Beriberi Berri who is also one of the opposition leaders, has not been able to meet to pass legislation for more than a year. But, my dear fellow-Apes! Have you forgotten? Parliament belongs to Beriberi Berri. It is his fish-shop, and he has decided: “I tell you no more fish, until and unless my Masters say so!” And the Sneaker’s Chair is his domain!
The recent Syria-Israel peace talks may fool the rest of you out there, but not I, myself, and me: Daniel in The Lion’s Den! They have been going on and taking place for decades; ever since Syria lost the Golan Heights to Israel! Syria and Israel have used Lebanon as a theatre, the battle-ground, the boxing ring, in order to settle their differences.
Syria wants to use Lebanon as a hostage to be used in exchange, or to be traded, for political, security, and economic advantages; first, the delay, then the dismissal, of “The International Tribunal" charged with probing Hariri's death and bringing the criminals to justice. But Syria's allies or FIENDS in Lebanon reject such claims. So what else is new?
