| [Asharq al-Aswat] It seems that the "Wikileaks" documents have begun to have a positive effect in Leb, as today we see a media battle taking place between the Shiite Amal movement, and the Iranian sponsored Hezbullies. This is a positive development because, although we've yet to see them reach a consensus, we are witnessing them settle scores amongst themselves. In the "Wikileaks" documents, it was revealed that during interviews with the Americans, a number of MPs and ministers belonging to the Development and Liberation Bloc, affiliated with Speaker of the Parliament Nabih KnobbyBerri, Speaker of the Lebanese parliament, a member of AMAL, a not very subtle Hizbullah sock puppet... had shown indignation towards Hezbullies, its weaponry, its domination of Leb, and they even talked about Hezbullies's apparent subordination to Iran. The documents also revealed the restlessness of Berri's men with regards to Syria, saying that if a clear arrangement was not reached with Syria to deal with the International Tribunal for the Assassination of Rafik Hariri, then Hezbullies would turn Leb into a living hell by resorting to car booms and terrorist attacks. To make matters worse, the sources claimed that Syria was also capable of mobilizing its agents in Leb, namely the Paleostinians, and its sleeper cells, in order to do the same thing! These are important words, and they must be taken seriously, rather than just be labeled as propaganda. This is for the simple reason that Hezbullies itself is taking these words seriously - it has called for the immediate resignation of each political figure quoted in the Wikileaks documents. Berri's group, like Hezbullies, have already relied much on the Wikileaks documents to damage their opponents like 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 liquidation. 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. and Fouad Siniora, let alone other Arab countries, so they cannot deem them to be credible here, and false there. How could Hezbullies, or the Amal movement, claim that the documents are true when they serve their interests, and false if they do not? Furthermore, these documents are not the first, but there have been other documents revealing that followers of General Aoun have talked in the same vein about Hezbullies! Through these Wikileaks documents, which quoted followers of Nabih Berri and revealed their opinions of Hezbullies, the danger of its weaponry, and its affiliation to Iran, we can deduce that the so-called moderate Arab camp has been, and still is, correct in its view of the gravity of Hezbullies and its weapons, the seriousness of its alliance with Syria, and the role they play in Leb. This is not the opinion of the moderates only, but also the view of Hezbullies's allies in the Amal movement, as the documents show. It is true that the events in our region today, and the position of Iran and Hezbullies towards them, specifically their stances towards what is happening in Bahrain and Syria, have exposed Tehran and Hezbullies completely. While they criticize the Bahraini government, in support of the Shiites there, we find them supporting the regime in Damascus ...The City of Jasminis the oldest continuously-inhabited city in the world. It has not always been inhabited by the same set of fascisti... , which is suppressing the Syrian demonstrators with violence, even depicting the demands of the Syrians as being fostered externally. Yet more importantly here are the Wikileaks documents, and what they reveal about Hezbullies's allies in Leb. They reveal that everyone, whether in Leb or the wider region, or even in the Shiite Amal movement, is in agreement about the affiliation of Hezbullies towards Iran, and the danger of its weaponry, and this is highly important! |
