Future Movement Backpedals. Denies Targeting Hezbollah’s Weapons
August 31, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui
Statement from The Future Movement:
Demands for a weapons-free Beirut are not aimed at Resistance weapons which are being discussed at the national dialogue […] This slogan, however, is to protect the principle of Resistance from being tarnished and from sliding in the mud of internal confrontations
Blah, blah, blah…This is the result of intense pressure from Hezbollah, the Syrians and just about anyone with pro-resistance sentiments.
But they’re not fooling anyone. We all know in our hearts of hearts that the original “Weapons Free Beirut” slogan was aimed squarely at Hezbollah.
