The violence and burnings in Lebanon were the work of Syrian soldiers and workers dressed in civilian clothes.

It seems that through sending weapons and men and using some Syrian workers they (the Syrians) want to say that Lebanon will face chaos as a result of their departure from Lebanon.

Those involved, including some arrested, were found to be people working for Syria, including Syrian soldiers disguised as civilians.

The Syrian regime is helping the insurgency in Iraq and allowing all kinds of militants to come in and out, and go to Iraq to attack random soldiers and innocent people.

I know something quite sure. We'll never have peace with this Syrian regime. They'll never give us relief, and we'll never forget that.

independent Lebanon, a democratic Lebanon, with a good relationship with Syria.
