Al-Assad CALLS CEDAR REVOLUTION TRAITORS
I just saw a comic movie called "the syrian president speaks in front of the syrian press".
Actually Al-Assad was addressing a while ago, a hall full of syrian press representatives (correct me if I'm wrong).
He basically said what you would expect him to say, not very inventive. Dictators don't have to be.
The audience did what you would expect it to do, applause stupidly and in coordination. Start applausing at the same fraction of the second, stop applausing at the same fraction of the second.
Till now, nothing new, standard masquerade of a "leader's" "free" speech. I was preparing to change channels, when.......
..when mister al-assad decided to call the Lebanese who kicked him out of Lebanon "traitors"...
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, lovers of the free world, you are traitors by mister Al-Assad's standards.
Actually, Al-Assad started off, expectedly, by praising the "tremendous victory of the Hizbulla (HA) over Israel", and the usual blabla.
And then, came the interesting part.
Al-Assad called the Lebanese who participated in the Cedar Revolution, which kicked the syrians out of Lebanon, traitors, because they are demanding the disarmament of HA.
The syrian president doesn't stop here, but also makes allegations that those Lebanese, known as the march 14 coalition, made a deal with the Israelis, to enter Lebanon and attack HA and disarm it by force.
He continued to say that they were trying to do like the "lebanese traitors" had done in 1982/1983, on this famous 17 may, when the IDF entered Lebanon to destroy the PLO.
And, as by some miracle, there was in the audience, some Lebanese supporters of HA, who INTERRUPTED Al -Assad in his speech, by standing up and starting to read a written statement, thanking HA, thanking Syria, and of course thanking Al-Assad....... how appropriate.
and Al-Assad let them interrupt him without any frustration, or surprise..
How spontaneous huh ?...... Especially when we know how much the freedom of expression is an unknown concept in Syria.. Do they really expect the world to believe that this intervention was not staged ?? I wonder...
The lebanese lady finishes praising the god Al-Assad, and the latter carries on with his speech.
He will be interrupted again 3 or 4 times, and the same ritual will be played again and again.
One of these times, a poet interrupted him, to recite a poem to his glory !
How refreshing it was to see how "democratic" Syria is, and how freedom of speech is respected.
Damascus spring, whenever you are ready guys !
I just hope that "the traitors" will have enough courage not to be intimidated by this man, and that they will ontinue the battle for a free and sovereign Lebanon..
Update 1 : The German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, cancelled his trip to Damascus, after Assad's speeck.

Asad and Nasrallah are moving fast to consolidate on the hezbollah success. We ll see very soon, i think, how far they are ready to go. But no doubt Nasrallah is triumphant and Asad is making a full comeback to the lebanese political scene. Seems like this time he does nt even need to order his tanks to cross the border. He got his right hand in Lebanon, a strong hand
The only traitor is him! Assad, hayda fara!!
I went to demonstrate, on 28 February, w 12 March (Lebanese Flag), w 14 March, w 14 February 2006.
