1. Assad on Hariri
DT ,   TA Israel   (07.31.10)
"We will stand by Hezbullah" and you can depend on Ban Ki Moon and the UN to do ths same
2. ¿Man of peace?
Merca ,   Barcelona   (07.31.10)
It's amazing a man that only recognize a tribunal that can indicts Israel.It'a a waste of time talking with a man siding with Hezbollah,Iran,N orth Korea and Hamas.
3. Interpretation
Christopher ,   Boston, MASS   (07.31.10)
Assad has now instructed the HRC and the UN investigators to engage a quick backtrack and find a way to blame the Mossad. Given the track record of the UN, BHO, and the House Jew, no surprise if that happens.
4. At fault or a good diversion
Christopher ,   Boston, MASS   (07.31.10)
Don't be surprised to find BHO and his House Jew pushing to put some of the blame on Israel....good way to divert attention from the documents leaked in WikiLead showing BHO, Clinton and the House Jew approved of the massacres of thousands of civilians in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
5. Assad warns
Gordon ,   USA   (07.31.10)
the international tribunal to stop before it officially reaches any conclusion Syria does not want nor like; justifies sending Syria troops back into Lebanon and re-taking that nation; and makes a mockery of Obama's 'make nice' let's talk it out program. Another foreign policy win for Obama
6. hizbullah carried out assad's order to murder hariri
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (07.31.10)
hence the support from assad. the question is if the rest of the true lebanese people (who are not funded/armed/under orders of a foreign entity) will forgive the hizbullah gang for their past and ongoing crimes against lebanon.
7. tell me how's your friends
Uri   (07.31.10)
i'll tell you how you are on
8. to Bashar Assad : just stand by yourself !
Salma ,   Palestine   (07.31.10)
9. Syria, part of the Iran-Hizballah-IslamicjJihad-Hamas-Syria
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (07.31.10)
coalition, is more loyal to the coalition's various components than to the truth and the implication of international norms: Finding out and sharing with the Lebanese people who murdered Mr. Hariri. Hizballah, in other words, and the role it plays as Iran's front troops on Israel's northern border is more important than Lebanese leaders...!! And this is from the Syrian who keeps calling for peace...!! How despicable...!!
10. the truth
real vision ,   usa   (07.31.10)
Are they all afraid of the truth of which arab or which group is responsible to have killed hariri
11. Translation
Jay ,   Miami, FL   (07.31.10)
Assad warns of "Lebanon instability" if he and Hezbuullah are implicated (because Hezbullah assinated Hariri on Assad's order). Therefore "Lebanon Instability"= Taking apart of Syria's and Iran's proxy army Hezbullah and sheding light on Syrian(Assad's) and Iran's oppression and occupation of Lebanon.
12. Hezbollah Terrorism
Dave ,   Bs.Aires-Argentina   (07.31.10)
Here in Argentina, we have been hit TWICE in Buenos Aires, by the coward INTERNATIONAL MUSLIM TERRORISM, killing and maiming more than two hundred of innocent people, among them Christians, Jews and Muslims. It has been proven that this TWO bloody attacks were performed by HEZBOLLA, with the support of SYRIA and IRAN. As a matter of fact, in 2009, at the UN's General Assembly, our President, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, asks the Iranians to bring the suspects (Among them Vahili, the Defense Minister of Iran) to the Justice in Argentina to interrogate them, but the reaction of the iranian government was negative and hostile against Argentina, a pacific country. This is the behavior of the Lebanese HEZBOLLAH and her associates, they are spreading their venomous and murderous Terrorism all over the world. IT IS NOT a legal Self-Defense of Lebanon, it is pure Terrorism. Now, they fear that the International Justice will uncover their true engagement with the murder of Hariri's father. Barack H.Obama is pressuring Israel to obtain a "Peace Treaty" between the terrorist's supporter Syria and the State of Israel I ask to you all - What type of peace will expect Israel to settle with this kind of evil people?
13.  #8 To Salma just stand with yourself
sam ,   colorado   (07.31.10)
I think you are not free Palestinian,for inform you Bashar al-Assad that the number is difficult in the Middle East, just stand with yourself
14. Bashar al-Assad is good man
sam ,   colorado   (07.31.10)
Of course he will stand by Hezbollah because Bashar al-Assad is good man I respect this man and my faith that he will makes peace with Israel soon
15. What Assad means: We will re-occupy Lebanon
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (07.31.10)
Assad is simply rattling his Syrian sabres again, threatening another illegal aggression and occupation of Lebanon by Syria. Funny that a head of state should interfere with an international judicial investigation. It makes the entire affair stink even more than it actually does. And boy, does it smell bad for Syrian territorial ambitions. There is no argument that Syrian aggression is responsible for much of Lebanon's ills. There is also lots of evidence that Syria and/or Hezbollah was involved in the murder of Hariri. What Assad appears to be saying is that yes, they did indeed murder Hariri, but if anybody tries to do anything about it then Syria will cause another civil war in Lebanon. Of course, that's exactly what Hezbollah and their Iranian puppet masters want - the excuse to launch a civil war to try and take over the country.
16. What a transparent farce!
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (07.31.10)
It went like this..... King Abdullah went to show his solidarity with Hariri. He told him 'I know you're in a big mess right now, hubub. Everyone knows your powerless against Hezbollah and Syria ...remember how Hez surrounded your compound in 2008..that was bad news, habub.. now you have to pay them international lip service. We both know they offed your ol' man. Break away from them and the KSA and the USA will be behind you. Assad went to make sure the truth doesn't come out and threatened a civil war if it does. Pure blackmail. Meanwhile, the Americans are working over-time to pin a money transfer trail on the Mossad for the Dubai hit. If they manage to do that they'll try and blame Israel for the Hariri assassination and temporarily diffuse the powder keg which is Lebanon. Are you with me on analysis, ben ish?
17. :: Indeed a good man #14
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (07.31.10)
Starving one million farmers in West Syria, destroying their livelihood and making them refugees in their own country shows the greatness of this son of a mass murderer. It is one of numerous instances attesting to his international war criminality.
18. :: Standing by your man #8?
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (07.31.10)
Yeah, in Islam it is common for the 4 wives, temporary wives and numerous concubines to side with their benefactors no matter how horrible his crimes against humanity are.
19. Once more, with subtitles...
Manic Drummer ,   Madison, WI, USA   (07.31.10)
"Syrian president warns stability in Lebanon could be threatened if international tribunal into assassination of former prime minister not halted." TRANSLATION: "Syria openly supports Hizbullah and will cause instability in Lebanon to bring a halt to the probe."
20. #14 - if he's so good, why does he rule brutally?
William ,   Israel   (08.01.10)
Why does his henchmen attack non-Alawite's and oppress Kurds? One would think he wouldn't need to if he was the "good man" you claim him to be. Maybe you mean "good man" on the order that Saddam believed he was a "good man".
21. #6 - or Assad is afraid he'll be next
William ,   Israel   (08.01.10)
22. Assad to Saudi King: Go get them if you can.........
Asher ,   NY USA   (08.01.10)
23. Assad is essentially implicating Hizbullah
William ,   Israel   (08.01.10)
Assad's warning is quite amusing. He predicts Lebanon will erupt in sectarian violence. Care to guess along which sectarian lines that will occur?? Or who the instigators will be? It was the Shia that launched the last civil war, and it will be them this time, with Hizbullah at the helm. Which begs the question - is Hizbullah a legitimate part of the Lebanese govt, or an illegal militant group operating internally, apart from the legitimate govt? This is the ME so both answers are correct in the Arab convoluted world. However, Assad's predictions, the Tribunal's indictments, and Nasrallah's threats all weak point to one thing - Hizbullah is a terrorist organization arm of Iran and much be dealt with as so.... for a free Lebanon, and a free world.
24. The Truth: War is Deception
Fatima Barrabas ,   Palestine, Texas   (08.01.10)
It's only true if it serves Islam. It's only justice when it serves Islam. War is deception.
25. Israelis should be sending Assad and...
Persian CAT   (08.01.10)
others sincere thank you notes for not letting the so-called Israeli leaders shoot themselves in the foot again and to leave behind a lot of dead people on all sides.
26. Is that an admission of guilt?
zionist forever   (08.01.10)
Hizbollah didn't do it Ipersonally ordered somebod else to kill him. Whoever did the killing doesn't matter its Assad who was behind it.
