MP Walid Jumblatt , the Democratic Gathering leader accused the opposition of trying to blame all the Lebanese problems on failure to form what the Hezbollah led opposition is calling a government of national unity. Jumblatt called the present cabinet of Prime Minister Fouad Siniora a true government of national unity.He said this is the government of resistance, the government that fought for got the tribunal approved by the UN, the government that sent Lebanon's army to the South of Lebanon for the first time in 4 decades and the government that succeeded at Paris 3 summit to maximize the pledges of all friendly nations to help Lebanon in its debt.
In his Newspaper al Anbaa, Jumblatt said if the opposition wants a different government then we need minimum guarantees ,as the veto power the opposition is demanding could wreck havoc to stability in Lebanon. Jumblatt sees the battle for Lebanon's independence as long lasting and as far as he is concerned , the battle for the tribunal is not over yet , but instead he says it has just started , since its implementation requires proper execution to find the killers of former PM Rafik Hariri.
