The Syrians Have a Plan

Why can’t the Syrians get it?

On a T.V. program about Mehlis’ visit to Damascus, a Syrian member of the People’s Parliament laid out his ‘understanding’ of the Mehlis’ investigation’s outcome: “We know ourselves, we know we didn’t kill martyr Hariri. So unless Mehlis is politically motivated, we are confident that Syria will be exonerated”.
You don’t need to be a genius to know that this guy knows nothing about legal procedures.

The Syrian ‘plan’ to thwart Mehlis seems to be the following:
-Keep mentioning that Syria has a vital interest in knowing “the truth”, because they are confident that they will come out guilt free.
-Keep praising “the great martyr Hariri” to show that they mean what they say
-Repeat again and again that Syria is the target of an American/Zionist plot to subdue the last fortress of Arab-ness. The plot’s agent is no other than Mehlis himself, who is going to use his investigation for political reason.

What will the Syrians achieve this way?
Well, the prodigy behind this plan seems to have the Lebanese Syrian allies in mind. Keep pumping this nonsense into their heads while they relay it to their constituents. This way, once the report is out and blaming the Syrians for Hariri’s murder (nothing’s certain yet) the Lebanese will be once more divided into people who trust the investigation, and people who look at it as an American tool.

The same prodigy had planned to extend President Lahhoud’s term in office, and maybe, just maybe, kill ex-PM Hariri.
Why can’t he get it?
