| Syria Will Stick by terror networks: Assad |
| 2002-07-01 |
| Syrian President Bashar al-Assad shrugged off U.S. pressure to cut ties with Lebanon's Hizbollah and expel Palestinian groups. In an interview published in the Al-Liwaa daily on Monday, he said: "Syria supports the Lebanese national resistance, including Hizbollah...in resisting Israeli occupation and liberating land, politically and in the media because the brothers in the Lebanese resistance do not need military support from Syria." "As for the Palestinian groups...their work is limited to political and media activities, and their offices in Damascus provide political representation to the 400,000 Palestinians living in Syria and who look to attain their rights and return to their land," he was quoted as saying. "I think the Bad Guys are gonna defeat the Great Satan in the end 'cuz Bush doesn't wear a gun and Rice is just a girl. How can they prevail against manly men, men with turbans, who roll their eyes and make bloodcurdling threats and wave guns? You hardly ever see Merkins do that." |
