'“Okay, they want to keep the situation quiet now, and then what?” he asked, suggesting that Hezbollah might renege on its promise “if they get orders” from Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or Syrian President Bashar Al Assad.' Yeah. You can bet on that. Isn't it interesting how the convenvenient timing of Hezbollah's actions (it completely drew attention away from Iran's nuclear program) was dropped after the first few days?

He is saying the same thing that I have been saying except he doesn't implicate Israel at all......just Hezbollah which is not the case with most Lebanese and that's because he is Druze which have their own agenda. Lebanese Druze leader Walid Jumblatt] attacked Syria, Iran and their Hezbollah ally for wrecking any chance that after last year’s Syrian troop pullout, Lebanon could disengage from regional turmoil and build a state. '“This dream was stolen, kidnapped,” he said, blaming Hizbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah for picking a fight with Israel by snatching two of its soldiers, provoking what Nasrallah has since admitted was a response he had not expected. '“What’s the use?” Jumblatt said of Nasrallah’s regrets. “The war is over for the time being, but the toll of destruction is terrible.” Just as bad, he said, was the loss of confidence. “What’s the future of my country?” he asked. “I’m stuck here, my destiny’s here, but look at the generations ahead.” Jumblatt questioned how long Hezbollah would keep its pledge to observe a UN truce that halted the fighting on Aug. 14. '“Okay, they want to keep the situation quiet now, and then what?” he asked, suggesting that Hezbollah might renege on its promise “if they get orders” from Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or Syrian President Bashar Al Assad.'
