He's basically saying if Syria and KSA can come to an agreement, the Lebanese scene will improve. The Syrians are not influencing the opposition, but KSA is influencing the loyalists. Syria can make a deal with KSA to agree on the demands of the opposition. That's the main issue. Mr. Berri has been saying this for months now, if you remember the SS he keeps talking about (Syria/Saudi Arabia). This statement is nothing new, review his statements from when the crisis started and you'll see it was the same as now. |
The problem is I know how Berri thinks, works and operates. He is in line with Syria way too much for my comfort. He prefers Syria's interests over Lebanon's interests, and it's true that he has been saying this for quite some time. But it's become too much.
Anyway, what do u mean by the red part? u're saying that the lebanese conflict is due to Syria/KSA disagreement? if so, my first post applies to u as well.
As for the blue part, how can Syria negotiate on behalf of the opposition? Did we appoint Syria as spokesman on our behalf? this statement is too funny bc Syria would only make deals that suit it, and the opposition mainly FPM might get screwed in the process.
Don't be disillusioned that Syria cares about the opposition. They might even sell HA if the price is right. so the opposition has a spokesman on its behalf and he only can negotiate and cut deals (with the agreement of all opposition parties of course) with the other side.
Bottom line, Syria ought to have no say in the opposition's demands, even though it supports some of them for reasons other than the opposition's (a part of the opposition at least). What I mean is that having some common goals for different agendas does not mean Syria becomes apt to negotiate on our behalf.
