Khaddam: Lebanon Can Only be Liberated when Assad’s Regime Collapses
Syria’s former Vice President Abdul Halim Khaddam has said that Lebanon would be liberated from Iran if Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime falls.
In remarks to An Nahar daily on the sidelines of a meeting in support of the Syrian revolution held in Paris, Khaddam said: “The Lebanese should be aware that Syria’s fate is linked to the fate of Lebanon.”
“If this regime falls, then Lebanon would be liberated” from Iranian control, he said. “If the Syrian regime stays, occupation will continue to strangle the Lebanese.”
Khaddam told the newspaper that Lebanon has no state as long as Hizbullah is in power.
Asked about the repercussions of a possible civil war in Syria on Lebanon, he said: “There won’t be any civil war in Syria.”
“There could only take place an armed struggle with the regime but not civil war,” Khaddam stressed.
The crisis in Syria has burned since mid-March despite widespread condemnation and international sanctions.

You finally paid the price for following the terrorist regime orders and become exiled in Paris. Your days in Lebanon were nightmares and only God is powerful because you will get what you deserve no matter what.

This war criminal is the last person to talk about Lebanon and freedom. For 30 years he ruled Lebanon with an iron fist comitting acts against humanity.

Khaddam is correct on all counts in this interview. The most important is that when ASSad falls Lebanon will have ties to Iran via the Hezz cut off.

Gabby sees that Khaddam is correct!! PEOPLE!!! But Gabby now says: The most important is that "when ASSad falls...!!!" Oh Gabby! Now it's WHEN? But you predicted, a la Dr. Falso, that he would have fallen one month ago, my friend! Did you extend the grace period to your ASSad? At lease you should have given us advanced notice and some details why you did that! Not only that, Khaddam is Gabby's hope! Khaddam? PEOPLE!!! My God! It's true when General Michel Aoun called this bunch as suffering from collective Alzheimer's! TE3TEER
