In Lebanon, as in Syria, defying Assads tyranny is lethal... Assad threatened to break Lebanon over Hariri defiance: Hamade #Lebanon, 19-11-2014: Syrian President Bashar Assad threatened to break Lebanon on the head of former prime minister Rafik Hariri if he did not acquiesce to the renewal of Lebanon’s pro-Syrian president in 2004, the Special Tribunal for Lebanon heard Wednesday. “He said no, it will be Emile Lahoud,” MP Marwan Hamade said, in testimony at The Hague that relayed Hariri’s comments after a stormy August 2004 meeting with Assad. And if you try to object, I will break Lebanon on your head and on Walid Jumblatt’s head.” Assad told Hariri that only Syria could decide Lebanon’s new president, the former prime minister relayed to a meeting that included Hamade and Druze leader Jumblatt.
