Hariri Aide On The US Withdrawal Of Military Assistance

Mohammad Shatah (emphasis mine):

The U.S. government is quite familiar with the reliability and importance of the Lebanese armed forces as a central institution in our country’s quest for peace and security and for asserting state authority throughout the country, The last thing that the U.S. or any other friend of Lebanon should do is to weaken the effort to build up our national army

Translation: You idiots! The only way we can eventually disarm Hezbollah is by properly arming the Lebanese army.

Oh, and by the way. Guess who’s trying to fill the void?
