Phares on CR Radio: "Lebanon's Politicians are three years late in calling for international monitoring of borders with Syria."

"In his fourth address through the Cedars Revolution Radio show from Washington DC to the Lebanese public via internet and local radios, Dr Walid Phares underlined that the explosions in Damascus and Tripoli are connected. "The Syrian regime wants to eliminate the Lebanese Sunni political resistance to the Baath and Hezbollah in northern Lebanon. To achieve this goal, he is trying to create appropriate conditions internationally and in the media to appear as legitimate in his quest." Phares also added in his address that observers do not understand why March 14 politicians are coming late to the realization that the borders between Syria and Lebanon are now a source of threat. "For the last three years," said Phares, "the Syrian regime was busy counter attacking the Cedars revolution. The Lebanese lobby has been urging the Lebanese Government, the parliamentary majority and the March 14 coalition to call on the United Nations to intervene and secure the borders. Unfortunately the call was not heeded by Lebanon's politicians. For three years warnings were issued by Lebanon's international pressure groups and the friends of Lebanon to thes politicians to move internationally. Nothing happened. And now we see them concerned about a Syrian threat. They are three years late." Phares said "Lebanon's citizens must understand the realities of world affairs and these facts so that they can produce politicians who can deliver what the public wishes."

  • why do lebanese blame syria for everything that happens in their country

    syria left lebanon a long time ago, and by the way, when syria was in lebanon it was at the invitation of the lebanese politicians themselves who saw it as the only way to end the civil war

    and now the terrorist infested north plus the hezbollah controlled south are out of control

    syria has nothing to do with it, the lebanese are responsible bcz syria is not occupying lebanon anymore (Except in your minds)

  • he is a tool
