Dotting the I’S & Crossing the T’S
My testimony against the testimony of Marwan Hamadeh / Part.6
Written by Nasser Kandil,
The testimony of Marwan Hamade based on a dual; The alliance between the Deputy Walid Jumblatt and Bkirki against the Syrian role in Lebanon since 2000, as the plan of the neo-conservatives with the arrival of George Bush to the rule in America, in addition to principles and plans which were revealed by the document ( Clean Break ) which has set Iraq and Afghanistan as two targets for the coming American wars, this was before the events of 11th of September in a year. This document showed Syria as an obstacle that must be broken to facilitate the passages of the American plans; it stated that the way is to surround Syria by Turkey and Israel and threaten it, the American occupation of Iraq, and agitating groups against Syria in Lebanon. The second aspect in Hamadeh’s dual is the extension of the President Lahoud, and the internal front which was against the extension, and which has showed it as an extension of a national independence movement against Syria, hiding that it is an extension of an open war by Washington against Syria, and the extent of its success in the Iraqi war experiences by forcing Paris and mobilizing it with Saudi Arabia, in order to share the burdens of the war which Syria remained steady against, in return of sharing the revenues, thus it turns the rejection of the extension into a stock company for this internal and external alliance.
Hamadeh intentionally ignored the position of Al- Hariri as an internal project, who interested in the balanced relationships regionally and internationally, and who was a national hero of independence against Syria, while Hamadeh was not neither an advocator nor an opposer and his point of view towards the independence was pragmatic, which he knew that it would not comply to another outside, which was probably Israeli with an American French background supported by Saudi Arabia. Al- Hariri knew that the interests which he presented for an external or internal account require from him to manage the relation with Syria according to the equation ( neither with nor against )AL-Hariri neither was with Syria nor with Jumblatt, Bkirki, Chirac, or Bush. Al-Hariri was with just Al-Hariri.
Al-Hariri did not join an adversary group against Syria in Lebanon in the year 2000, but he bet on his distinguished relations with the Syrian officials to stand against the reign of the President Emile Lahoud, and has exploited the adversary situation of Syria in order to gain more profits in the rule, under the slogan that there were opponents whose the confrontation with them requires the improvement of the political situation of Al-Hariri to protect the Lebanese Syrian relationship on one hand, and to promote it at least in Paris on the other hand, where it was not defeated yet in De Villepin and has exiled to a new Waterloo while it was under the American cloak. With the extension or against it, Al- Hariri has repeated the making use of the external and the internal alliances, but he was not a part from them. They were partnerships of a mutual investment. Al- Hariri considered himself a player like Chirac, so he gave himself the right of diligence in reading the interest not just internally but for his allies too, he thought himself capable of behaving alone and returning to them when he convinced, that he has achieved a big achievement. Regarding the extension his bet was on nothing will change between him and those allies and at the top of them the French President, but many things have changed, the prescribed plan of the region did not have place for Al-Hariri’s diligence and his surprises.
Hamadeh ignored what he fully knew, and what most of the Lebanese knew about the stage after the extension in two aspects internally and externally, where the presidency of the government and its constitution were the title. Why Hamadeh did not talk anything about this matter? Is it normal for one who has gone into a war against the extension and became a hero, where this extension was a rejected Syrian trusteeship, to continue resisting the Syrian ( Occupation ) and its trusteeship, and to refuse the participation in an extended rule?, if we have transcended the explanations of Hamadeh for the approval of the President Al-Hariri of the extension so does his pursuit towards the government’s presidency was out of fear or a request that cannot be achieved ?
October 2004 was a place of consultations which Hamadeh knew them fully and ignored them deliberately, it’s title ( Al-Hariri is a Prime Minister ). Hamadeh may not know the details’ process of the development but he knew its results as announced incidents which their title is ( AL-Hariri is the Head of the government’s extension ) this reveals that Syria did not put Al- Hariri in its account as an opponent whom wanted to deport, but as a local political power of international regional balance that aimed to neutralize its negative impact from one hand and recruiting its positive abilities on the other hand. In a dialogue with my friend the Brigadier General Rustom Ghazaleh and during the process of discussing about the extension option after resolving the decision by the President Bashar Al-Assad, we have discussed the idea of combining between the President Lahoud and the return of the President Al-Hariri to the government’s presidency, and the preparation of this option before resolving the extension and after obtaining the approval of the President Bashar Al-Assad who has strongly encouraged Ghazaleh to continue that process, A few days later we were in the car together thinking and discussing, I called the President Al-Hariri, and after greetings, I passed the phone to Ghazaleh, then we moved towards Al-Hariri’ villa and I left them together as my habit of not attending such discussions, despite their insistence to stay and discuss, so I just gave them titles which I saw them necessary to explain the importance of the cooperative relationship between them, Lebanon , and Syria wishing the good for them , which as they told me later on that it led to an understanding about the discussion seriously of the equation, and that they would prepare it after completing the extension ( Al- Hariri is a Head of the first government in the extended reign of Lahoud)
In the period after the extension, AL-Hariri has succeeded in getting the coverage of the French President Jacques Chirac for his partnership of the government as its chairman; those who have taken the resolution 1559 did not know what to do yet. Their plan which is supported by the America, France, and Saudi Arabia was based on facilitating the access of Al-Hariri to be a prime minister on one hand, and a communication granted by Terje Roed Larsen who was appointed as a headmaster of the decision with the Syria on the other hand, in order to say that this decision was towards the extension, and the rest are two aspects, first, the withdrawal of the Syrian forces, second, the disbandment of the militias ( The intended is Hezbollah ) Washington and Paris recognized the impossibility of achieving the two goals together, they trusted also in the impossibility of disbandment the issue of Hezbollah’ weapons without a cooperation with Syria. They can agree on considering the Syrian presence legitimate according Al Taif Agreement, and what it had stated of redeployment and understanding according to an agreement that renews by an international coverage each five years, as long as the President Bashar Al-Assad decided to carry out the redeployment since he took practical steps in this process. The President Al-Hariri has adopted Al Taif formula as a consensual roadmap of the resolution 1559 in order not to have a Western collision with Syria, and to facilitate his governmental duty. All of these are conditioned by the acceptance of Syria to take over the weapons of Hezbollah, so Larsen has carried these assumptions to Beirut.
Hamadeh knew what his friend Larsen was going to do in Lebanon, and why he went to Damascus, but he ignored this deliberately, because he knew that Larsen was in charge of Washington and Paris to have a deal with Syria, and was not coming to support the false (Independence Movement) which Hamadeh was talking about. The President Lahoud revealed after the end of his reign repeatedly the content of his meeting with Larsen who got surprised by the seriousness of Lahoud in his cooperation with Al-Hariri in the presidency of the government, and by the positive acceptance of Syria for this presidency, Hamadeh knew well what Al-Hariri has named at that day of ( cleaning the hearts ) at least if Hamadeh was reading ( Al Nahar ) newspaper on which he amplified an hour of his testimony, because it specified a special title for ( cleaning hearts) in that period briefing the content of the first meeting between Lahoud and Al-Hariri after the extension.
The matter was not confined with only known players externally; Damascus, Paris, and Washington, and Lahoud ,Al-Hariri internally, it was Israel in Washington and Paris, and its share in the s is tock company was the weapon of Hezbollah, Saudi Arabia and its share was the Syrian internal game, and internally there was the complexity of resolving the participation of the Deputy Wakid Jumblatt in the government and what if he did not participate?
Tomorrow’s article will be about the presence of Larsen in Damascus and Jumblatt outside the government.
