Raad: Global Powers Seeking to Employ Arab Spring for Own Goals

W300

The head of the Loyalty to the Resistance bloc MP Mohammed Raad warned on Saturday that the Arab Spring may become victim to attempts by world powers to employ the movement for their own interests.

He said during a student graduation ceremony: “Some local or regional forces are eager to join these attempts than the actual powers themselves.”

“These forces have linked their fate to foreign ones in a hope that they would be granted global powers,” he added.

“The time of depending on foreign forces is over and the spirit of Resistance is growing stronger,” the MP stressed.

“No one can twist the arm of this spirit,” Raad stated.

So when people want freedom it is a western powers conspiracy and when they are subjected to repression without complaining they deserve to live in your wonderful "islamic republic" world.

the spirit of resistance is growing????
in my dictionary there is no"islamic resistance" or even like a flat tire "mazhabi resistance", there is a global humaniterian normal resistance to the opressor.

"They know that their uprising is really not against their despots, but really against the Western powers who created and supported them for decades"

that is the syro iranian propaganda...

one little example to prove the contrary: libya...

khaddafi was anti usa... and the people of libya overthrew him no?

oh, and thus you admit that bashar is pro usa as syrian people are demonstrating against him? or another double standard here?

tha arabs are not demonstrating against the west but against injustice and terror... have you seen anyone with anti west banners demonstrating in arab countries during the arab spring?

This Iranian stooge is just saying what the Iranian Regime has been trying to do in Egypt, Libya, and Bahrain, Yemen,... His words confirm that this is what the Iranian regime has been doing all along, inciting hatred, intolerance, terrorism, crime, and hoping that the Arab world would revolt against the West, and pick another fight with the free world, this way Iran could move in pick up the Peaces and take over after both sides have exhausted themselves and their resources, that has been the plan of Iran in Iraq, that is its plan for the greater ME through inciting the Shiites into clashing with the other communities and hence starting the mayham. The only way out of this situation and the true path to Peace starts by sending the criminal Mullah regime in Tehran and Qom back to hell where it came from. The gloves are off now with this serpant of a regime...

Not like the Hezz who are over in Syria killing the innocent civilians. The Hezz is killing for their own interests ......survival. Talk about using the Arab Spring for your own interests. That is the definition.

so what about syria bigdig? people raising against a despot placed by the west (which is actually the case too!!!!)

Missing peace over 12 years

concerning the despots placed by the west (moubarak, ben ali etc...) it is true but the people are not raising against the west as hezbollah and iran tend to say!
they are just raising because they are fed up ith a corrupted system where only some members of the official party got all the wealth...

stop dreaming bigdig, it is absolutely not an uprising against the west....

if it was the case why is iran and hezbollah so eagerly trying to protect the syrian system? why don t you apply your theory of an uprising against the west to syria too? because let me remind you assad has been protected by israel and the usa since hafez...
i haven t seen the usa doing a lot to overthrow bachar! because they want him in place, he ll be overthrown only whan another credible gvt can take place and approved by the west :)
don t fool yourself, people are fed up with poverty and injustice that s all, may it be a country supported by the west or not!

You have suppressed all the Leb Shiites for the past 30 yrs in the name of resistance, you kidnapped the voice of the true Lebanese shiites and followed the Iranian master who supplied you with foreign money and arms so that you remain "TOOLS" for them, (i.e. Jul 2006).
You survive and your forces are linked to the fate of foreign ones - Iran, You will not be allowed to ruin the global Leb image no matter how strong your powers - Iran will become.

@ Mr. Raad, I wish I can meet you in an alley somewhere, sans your weapons and thugs of course so I can beat some Lebanese nationalism into your rotted, decaying, moraly bankcrupt brain.

You are a vile, sour and corrupt coward forced upon us with the power of a gun. I pray for the day you are sentenced to life in prison and I never have to see your ugly face and never hear that filthy mouth of yours.
