| [An Nahar] Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri Second son of Rafik Hariri, the Leb PM who was assassinated in 2005. He has was prime minister in his own right from 2009 through early 2011. He was born in Riyadh to an Iraqi mother and graduated from Georgetown University. He managed his father's business interests in Riyadh until his father's assassination. When his father died he inherited a fortune of some $4.1 billion, which won't do him much good if Hizbullah has him bumped off, too. stressed Friday his rejection of any president who might be in the service of any foreign "tutelage" and urged Speaker Nabih KnobbyBerri Speaker of the Lebanese parliament, a member of AMAL, a not very subtle Hizbullah sock puppet... to convince Hizbullah to withdraw its fighters from Syria and start implementing the Baabda Declaration. "As the Mustaqbal ... the Future Movement, political party led by Saad Hariri... Movement refuses to be at the image of Hizbullah, we refuse to be at the image of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant ... the current version of al-Qaeda in Iraq, just as blood-thirsty and well-beloved as the original... (ISIL) or al-Nusra Front, and refuse any call to involve the movement and Sunnis in Leb in the war between Hizbullah and al-Qaeda," Hariri said in a speech via video link that was broadcast during a rally organized by the March 14 forces to commemorate the ninth anniversary of the liquidation of ex-PM Rafik Hariri. "They all represent destructive concepts and tools to drain the state, and projects for endless wars among Mohammedans. We, with the vast majority of the Sunnis in Leb, will face these projects and anything that harms the stability of the country and the rules of national consensus. These are our constant principles, and any step out of these principles is a second liquidation of Rafik Hariri," the former premier added. He emphasized that the Mustaqbal Movement "will either be at the image of Rafik Hariri, or will cease to be." "Either it will be up to the level of his dreams, path, struggle, or national history, or it will not be," Hariri added. "In this sense, the time of justice is the time of moderation and the people of justice are the people of moderation. We are the people of moderation, who stood and are standing against all forms of extremism," he said. Addressing Mustaqbal's supporters, Hariri added: "And you saw that, after everything, the trial was launched and the logic of justice has triumphed. I have no doubt that the logic of moderation, the logic of the state, the logic of dignity, the logic of life will triumph." |
