Jubilation In Tripoli As Standoff in Naher Al Bared Ends

Plain Talking

A late victory is still a victory, a sweet one for that matter.

I just got off from the phone with my family in Tripoli. They told me that celebratory fireworks and gunshots are mixing with car horn blowing everywhere in the ecstatic northern city. People are calling each other for congratulations and everyone is celebrating the hoped for return to normalcy.

The news is spreading: According to Africasia:

Thousands of people on Sunday thronged toward a refugee camp in northern Lebanon chanting patriotic songs and throwing rice to mark the end of a standoff between the army and militants.Convoys of cars and pick-up trucks, some with people sitting on the rooftops, packed a highway that runs near Nahr al-Bared camp, honking their horns and flashing victory signs.

Finally, the nightmare is over..

“Finally, the nightmare is over.. ”
Well don’t we all wish???but i don’t really think so when the supposed to be goverment is turning the face to a party called”Hizb Al Ta7rir” who’s main target is to turn lebanon into an islamic kingdom,thanx to A7mad Fatfat….and with the likes of Al Mufti Jouzou and Kabbani and Fat7i Yakan i think the nightmare is still hanging above us……
And then how civilized it is to use gunshots for celebration…..that’s another kind of nightmare……..

nightmare isn’t over, Ein Al Hilweh is next!! give them 72 hours to surrender their weapons. On a different note, watch very carefully for Bashar’s new front, this is a sad day for Syria’s thugs. Can we figure out a way to topple the Anti-Arab, Anti-democracy regime in Syria?

“why is hezballah not protecting thier brothers in “resistance”? ”

Maybe because it’s not their fight and certainly not their mess that the Future clowns helped create.
