Lebanon's head of progressive socialist Party, Walid Jumblatt, admits that he has deceived the Syrians for almost twenty five years. "I am not a real ally to Syrians and I am lying to them," said Jumblatt in an interview with Press TV. The Lebanon's Druze leader claimed that his father was killed by the Syrians. 'I decided to fix a pact with the devil and to shake hand the one who killed my father,' said Jumblatt, denouncing the fact that he had not the courage to declare the claim 25 years ago. Jumblatt implicitly admitted that he is ready to cooperate with Americans rather than his fellow citizens, accusing Hizbullah of facilitating or ignoring Syrian killings. "I will not give the veto power for the sake of Hizbullah and their allies and the Syrian regime," he said. "They can take it by force over our dead bodies" but "I am not going to give up the veto power for the sake of Hizbullah," he added.
