Mansour Says Assad ‘Relieved’ Over Syrian Developments
Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour said on Monday that Syrian President Bashar Assad seemed very “relieved” over the developments in Syria.
“Assad is determined to continue his reforms and confront the militants that are disturbing the security situation,” Mansour told As Safir newspaper.
He said: “He (Assad) informed us that the situation is starting to calm down, especially in Hama.”
Mansour unveiled that the Syrian president asked about the maritime borders that Lebanon and Israel are currently having a dispute on.
He was keen to inform Assad that Lebanon “will not interfere in the Syrian internal affairs, and will support Syria’s stability and security.”
The Foreign Minister held talks with Assad in Damascus on Sunday. He stressed that “Lebanon’s stability is linked to Syria’s stability.”
For his part, Assad stated that Syria is steadily implementing reform.
He said: “The state is obligated to protect the lives and security of its citizens against outlaws who are blocking roads, closing down cities, and terrorizing the people.”

Shame on Lebanon and this embarrassing joke of a minister. But what to expect from Miqati government that was formed by Assad and Hizbollah; in other words formed by a criminal regime and a criminal organization. The only true resistance in to free Lebanon from the Basij, Mukhabarat and their puppets. We also owe the brave Syrian people a promise that all agents of the Assad tyrant will be delivered to justice when the freed Syrian people are ready to bring to justice Assad and his accomplices and profiteers, just as what is happening in Egypt and Tunisia.

Seriously! Russia has indicted the Syrian regime along with China and the rest of the world. President Medvedev used some tough language on RT. The GCC and the Arab league, SA and Turkey issued strong statements against the regime. Jordan did too. Frigg'n Hawai is about to issue a statement... and then we get this...this thing. Just look at him! The guy is a space cadet. He looks weak in his pictures and utters non-sense: no arms in dahieh, we can alienate ourselves form the International community and at the same time ask for our maritime rights from them (what?)... and this... May be it is the glasses or the dweeb look or may be he is good at the oldest profession of the world, metaphorically speaking of course... Sorry Minister!
P.S. Has anyone noticed the size of the picture on the wall.. Wow!

Quisling! The whole world knows better. Let us only hope that the post-Assad Syria does not hold all Lebanon in contempt for the actions of these quisling bootlickers now in charge of government.

“The state is obligated to protect the lives and security of its citizens against outlaws who are blocking roads, closing down cities, and terrorizing the people.”
If you are refering to what our government should have done in 2008, then I agree with you.
If you are refering to the Syrian people in their hundreds of thousands protesting for reform, then not so much...
:O are these 2 imbeciles serious!!! What dream are they living in! Yes Assad must be very relieved about killing Nearly a hundred Syrian everyday, he must receive a bj from asma for each Syrian killed. What a terrible, unethical, brutal, evil, LOSER!
