BEIRUT, LEBANON (11:40 A.M.) - The leader of Lebanon's Progressive Socialist Party Walid Jumblatt told the Al-Joumhouriya daily this weekend that he will not make any settlements with the Syrian government.
“I will not conclude my political life with more settlements. We made a settlement after the martyrdom of chief Kamal Jumblat (his father), and after the martyrdom of former PM Rafik Hariri. I believe that is enough," Jumblatt told Al-Joumhouriya, as reported by Naharnet.
“Let me die in dignity without getting involved in more humiliating settlements which only destroy my national heritage and the heritage of Kamal Jumblat. I will not change my tone against the regime. Let someone else do,” he continued.
Jumblatt then accused Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad of seeking revenge against those who opposed him in Lebanon.“Bashar will not leave Lebanon and will not forget it. The Syrian wants to come back and revenge against the remnants of March 14 camp, the only one left is Fares Souaid," he added.
Jumblatt has been one of Assad's biggest critics in Lebanon, often blaming him for the conflict in Syria and regional problems.

Forgive me, please, but I'm going to use some strong language here. I do appreciate the fact that you're reporting this; I read articles by @amnlive every day. My scorn is directed at Jumblatt himself.
Here is a man who has changed sides more times than Alcibiades the Athenian, someone that nobody in Lebanon trusts at all anymore.
Currently he's aligned with March 14, (the Saudi lackey front), and so he's trying with this statement to make a sly implication that Syria was responsible for the murder of Rafik Hariri. Yet any neutral and objective analysis of the spectacular assassination of Hariri senior has to conclude that he was murdered by Mossad, with the intention of blaming it on Hezbollah and/or Syria.
I agree this Jumblatt is a slimey dickhead ..if you'll pardon the expression.
All you've to do is look at him to know this.
