Khaddam said in a statement issued by his media office yesterday, “Once again, Lahoud accuses President Hafez al-Assad of being naive, foolish, weak, and stupid,” asking, “Was Khaddam visiting Beirut and meeting with presidents and politicians, and under the spotlight of the media, coming secretly and without the president’s knowledge? If President Hafez al-Assad did not know What was Khaddam doing when he watched him on television, together with politicians in Lebanon? Why did he not hold him accountable? Was it because he was weak or because President Hafez al-Assad was naive and foolish and did not know what was going on?
Khaddam asked in the statement: Can Lahoud “tell us what are the nationalist actions of President Hafez al-Assad in Lebanon and what are the subversive actions of Khaddam? Does Lahoud believe that any of the officials is moving without his knowledge and without his knowledge? If he believes so, we excuse him.” According to what he said on the lips of his media office, because this means that he does not know. And if what the media office said on his lips is not true, then we excuse him because he is poor and does not know what is going on around him, and we also excuse him if he wanted to cover up his mistake in his last statement after he was reprimanded by Bashar al-Assad because the subordinate "He can only submit to his superior's directions."
