Jumblatt to Al Akhbar: Geagea Did Not Learn from His Past Experiences

Local Editor, 23-04-2010

Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblatt told Al Akhbar newspaper that Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea's statements take us back to 1982 and 1983, back when the argument was the Palestinians' weapons.

"Nowadays, the argument they invoke is the Resistance's weapons. If only they would realize the importance of these weapons" Jumblatt said.

"I wish they understand the significance of these weapons and the importance of establishing a defense strategy where Resistance arms are part of it," Jumblat added.

"Today, they are attacking Resistance weapons and tomorrow they will attack the Lebanese Army's Arab combat doctrine. Then they will attack the Armistice Agreement in a bid to push Lebanon into sealing a peace treaty with Israel," Jumblat said.

"They want the army without an Arab combat doctrine so as to become an army of mercenaries just like the U.S. army," he protested. "All that this worries me."
