Despite the turmoil in Syria , the embattled Syrian President Bashar al-Assad met with Marada Movement leader MP Suleiman Franjieh to discuss the issue of the Lebanese cabinet formation and the latest developments in the Arab world.

Franjieh , the grandson of former Lebanese president Suleiman Franjieh is a staunch ally of Syria and a regular visitor to Damascus.

One of Franjieh’s Grandfather last acts as president in 1976 was to ask his old friend President Hafez Assad to send the Syrian army into Lebanon to restore order.

Inspired by the wave of pro-democracy protests around the region, the uprising in the southern Syrian town of Deraa and at least four villages nearby has become the biggest domestic challenge since the 1970s to the Syrian government, one of the most repressive in the Middle East. Security forces have responded with water cannon, teargas, rubber bullets and live ammunition. The total death toll now stands at 16 including an 11 year old girl.

how hypocritical, if anyone from the March 14, goes to the US for merely a visit, march 8 leaders or should i say puppets, say that they are consulting with their masters. but when march 8 loosers do it and actually acknowledge that they are going their for that exact reason, that is OK. well I hopoe the next time any of those leaders go to Syria, it will be free of the ASSAD regime. GOD WILLING, keep it up my brothers in Syria.
