Written by Nasser Kandil,

As usual the Deputy Walid Jumblatt is estimating the equations of politics with curiosity by linking the political position with the sarcasm in order to have a high limit of access to the hearts, so the minds can  find it easy to deal with him as he originally knows the distance which separates the content of his position  of any acceptance by any rational mind, he is the owner of the theory a scavenger in New York when he wanted to reconcile the Americans, apologizing of his supplication and his wish about that the rocket which has targeted Al -Rasheed Hotel in Baghdad may affect the US Vice Minister of Defense Paul Wolfwitz who was a guest at the same hotel during the occupation, in addition to the zest of Jumblatt against Paul Bremer and the American politics in Iraq and what has caused of devastation, and because the apology will be debilitating and humiliation of the status of Jumblatt who was deprived to enter the United States of America at that time. Jumblatt has chosen his famous sentence a scavenger in New York, criticizing the Lebanese reality, and it is implicitly a praise of the status of the man at the American laws and under the ruler of the US security services which he compared with what he called later the common Lebanese Syrian security regime, to choose to be a leader in Lebanon or a scavenger in New York.

Jumblatt at the time of the Soviet Union has previously used glorifying likening the sites which he waged in his military battles with Stalingrad as a heroic glorious epic of the army and people in the Soviet Union in the Second World War, as he has previously presented to the Lebanese people within his campaign against the resistance and its weapon the choosing between the two examples of Hong Kong or Hanoi, implicitly it is in the Soviet period at the early of eightieth and the Mountain War which has made his leadership, and his status in the Lebanese political geography and through which he is still enjoying, he prepared to be an alive Soviet Lebanese to be a Switzerland of the East or the Paris of the Arabs, as long as the West at that time with its multi-nationalities forces was a supporter of the regime which Jumblatt has announced his war against it, thus he was put for this purpose within an alliance which Damascus, its regime, its security services, the governing Party, and its President constitute the supporter, the assistant and the shelter, as well as in the honeymoon with Hezbollah after Doha’s Agreement and before the Syrian Crisis Hanoi was the source of pride, but Hong Kong has become after the starting of the war in Syria the ideal and the example.

There is no place for art for the sake of art within the dictionary of Jumblatt, and there is no sarcasm for the sake of sarcasm. The message has always a meaning, today he protests on the Russian role which turned the entire Saudi project in Syria into a dust, it has imposed a dynamism which its results have imposed their rhythm on the important West countries from Washington to Paris, and this dynamism as well has granted Moscow a moral authority for its pivotal role in the war on terrorism and a solemnity that prevents its confrontation and its demands are not rejected. Russia which is continuing its war without stopping or hesitation accompanied with an ally in the ground that achieves endless victories he is the Syrian President and the army which is led by him, does not give opportunities for consolation prizes that decrease the limits of the war on terrorism after it refused the mediation of Jumblatt and the attempt of Saudi Arabia and then Turkey, Israel, and America to improve the situation of Al-Nusra Front and to join it to the political process, so today it refuses to give Al-Islam army which is adopted by Saudi Arabia and Ahrar Al Sham whom are adopted by Turkey the opportunity of having a political seat, and refuses to exclude them from its continuous war in the countryside of Aleppo and Damascus against the sites of the two parties  before the Saudi call for a conference that includes the two parties with other parties of the opposition under the title of unifying the ranks and formulating a unified position of the political solution.

Saudi Arabia gets angry, so Jumblatt has waited for a Lebanese reason to say, although the Lebanese reason is much smaller than the size of Jumblatt’s comment, because the Russian demand to neutralize the Lebanese airlines out of the implementation of Russian military maneuvers in the Mediterranean Sea is a routine procedure in similar cases, but exaggerating its size is deliberate in order to send a message to Russia about the Saudi anger concerning Al Islam army and Ahrar Al Sham by the Jumblatt’s mail. The message has reported the content by the mail, Lebanon has not any relation, so let the Lebanese people continue their lives normally as if nothing had happened.
