Kuwaiti MPs Lash Out at Bassil's Planned Visit
Several Kuwaiti lawmakers have voiced strong objections to a planned visit to their country by Energy and Water Minister Jebran Bassil, noting that “he is an ardent supporter of the oppressive Syrian regime.”
“Bassil’s stances in support of the Syrian killing machine against the unarmed Syrian people make him unwelcome in Kuwait,” said MP Badr al-Dahoum, spokesman of the Justice parliamentary bloc, stressing that “guests who visit Kuwait must respect the official and popular stance on the Syrian regime.”
“Should the Lebanese energy minister affront the Syrian people, we will confront him and stop his attempts,” Dahoum added.
Meanwhile, MP Osama al-Shahine called on the Kuwaiti foreign ministry to “reconsider” its position on allowing Bassil to enter the country.
For his part, MP Adel al-Damkhi condemned “hosting those who back the criminal regime of (Syrian President) Bashar al-Assad, such as the Lebanese energy minister.”
“Kuwait backs the Syrian people, the (Kuwaiti) foreign minister has slammed the Syrian regime as ‘criminal’, and the National Assembly has adopted recommendations demanding penalties against the Assad regime, so we must not host anyone who is in Assad’s service,” Damkhi said.
“Lebanese Energy Minister Jebran Bassil supports the murderer regime in Syria the same as his father-in-law (Free Patriotic Movement leader) General (Michel) Aoun had backed Saddam Hussein, so why should Kuwait welcome him in?” Damkhi added.
MP Mubarak al-Waalan slammed Bassil as “Assad’s mouthpiece,” saying he was a persona non grata “because he is turning a blind eye to the bloodshed.”
And MP Abdul Rahman al-Anjari wondered “what would Kuwait gain from the visit of Assad’s ally Bassil.”
“Those people have been exposed and soon they will be ousted by the peoples,” he added.

The only goverments that will welcome the Thief In-Law are in Syria and Iran... The Lebanese lawmakers should be the ones voicing strong objections to having this little pickpocket near the peoples money.

Hey Bassil, you and your uncle can pass your psychotic lies, speeches, and backing of killers in Lebanon, but the region know who you are and they told you to stay away and shut up you mental midget.
Your uncle backed Sadam and lost. Your uncle ran away in pajamas. Your uncle was paid by Syria and the Hezz to stab the Christians in the back or he could have been president. Now you guys back ASSad. You keep making losing choices. When ASSad falls you will have a perfect loser record.

Yes, the Kuwaiti MP's can talk, those people sent THEIR troops (along with Saoudia's, UAE's, etc...) to Bahrain to oppress the unarmed bahraini prostestors.

@ Ado.australia, we all know arabs specially golf countries are undemocratic. But we dont need that right now, and dont care. We just want to build relationships with them based upon economic interests. The problem is not only in March 8th's approach towards the Syrian crisis, it is also about Aoun always lashing out at arabs, and Hariri, supposedly stealing our country's wealth and blablabla as usual. They've had enough of this talk shit. It is incredible how most lebanese work in Arab countries and arent even grateful. Like if they owe us that at least... I mean how can a society evolve if you all think like that? enno rabna khala2na wou kassar el 2eleb? Time to get out of this stupid theory that we are not arabs and that they are all peasants, and that we are bosses of this middle east.

And also on what purposes does Bassil want to visit Kuwait? do not forget as well that he has rejected Arab money which would have been a lot easier considering low interests, than digging in our treasury and taking money for much more interest.But now maybe he realises he will need more for his project, or other... And of course on the other hand, the kuwaitis are funny so as golf countries that are against Assad but mainly are the same in dealing with their people. Although do not forget one important thing : Saudi Arabia , is a country that is the world's first oil exporter. Syria has nothing in return. Nobody wants a Saudi Arabia governed by extremists who will play on the price of gas each day.

Hey, take it easy, he's is visiting THEIR COUNTRY and they have 100% the right not to welcome him. And by the way, what Bashar is doing to his people is outraging and ultimately inhuman. When we start seeing the things away from March 8 and March 14, we become normal people, deserve to live in peace and deserve a watan.
And by the way, didn't Australia teach you a little of dessency and subtlty? It seems you are still 100% lebo, thinking we are the best ever God has created and have the right to swear @ people right and left! Cool, keep going...
Cheers
