Rif`at Al-Asad is back

From Akram:

"Undoubtedly, Rifa'at Al-Assad, the uncle of the Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad, deserves to be registered in Guinness World Book for the most impertinent human being. In no more than half a page, he was able to tell at least a dozen of lies. (French)

In the following long sentence, for example, Uncle Rifa'at explains why the Syrian regime is destined to an inevitable extinction. I can swear that each character in itself is a lie:

The problem is in the regime itself even before Bashar. This is why I distanced myself since 1974 [eight years before the massacre of Hama]. I established my movement and won the Ba'ath Party elections against the supporters of President Hafez Al-Assad. The President hadn't accepted the results. My supporters asked him to replace Abdulhalim Khaddam and Mustafa Tlas. He refused. We were in state of war against Israel and, in such circumstances, defense and foreign affairs ministers can't be replaced. But those two guys were an internal disease in the revolution [the "correctional movement" led by his brother in 1970? he hasn't specified]. They were the real reason of today's events. Since 1984 [the year when Hafez Al-Assad expelled his brother Rifa'at out of Syria after a failing coup d'etat], the President concentrated the powers in his hands [but if Rifa'at stayed, the rule of Hafez Al-Assad would be, as earlier, decentralized]. I warned him in many occasions.

And watch him predicting the Syrian uprising 20 years before it really happened, the same way Prophet Isaiah predicted the glorified coming of Jesus Christ:

During the funeral of my elder brother, I asked Hafez how he expected Bashar would rule. He answered he would somehow take care because we would give more freedoms to people by receding from socialism and by privatization [!!!!]…. He asked me what I thought of Bashar. I said: "I will be honest with you. He would probably rule for 20 years but the end will be disastrous. People will be calm for a moment then they will explode"

Needless to say that Hafez Al-Assad would never ask his betrayer brother who, one day, tried to topple him exploiting his illness, for an advice about the future of his own dynasty.

Then two short but flagrant ones:

This:

I would be able to return in 2000 [to Syria after Hafez Al-Assad passed away] but it would be a bloodshed [he should add: and my tender heart doesn't stand it]. So I decided to act in my exile. I hate conspiracies and vengeance.

Then this:

In the beginning [of the Syrian uprising], demonstrations were peaceful and my [peaceful] supporters [in Hama !!!!] participated… I gave my instructions to my supporters so they stand on the side of the Syrian people and they did.

Few on the earth believe that Rifa'at Al-Assad is a Syrian opposition figure, and Rifa'at himself isn't among them. He, rather, considers himself a member of the Syrian dynasty, though, like Prince Hassan of Jordan, renounced, and deprived of his divine rights to lead the kingdom of Syria. He, really, believes he has a chance. But for all those, if any, who still believe the lies of the lousy Syrian regime, here is Rifa'at Al-Assad, the honest representative of an awful royal family, coming up of his limbo just to remind us of a dark history that we must never forget... and never forgive."
