Bashshar and the pro-Syrian parties and organizations in Lebanon

I read the details of the meeting between Bashshar Al-Asad and the pro-Syrian organizations and parties from Lebanon. Much to be said but one thing got my attention: he mentioned his relationship with Walid Jumblat as an indication of his own flexibility.  Flexibility?  There are heroes and political prisoners languishing in Syrian regime jails, and you refer to Walid Jumblat as an example of your flexibility?  `Abd-`Aziz Al-Khayyir is still in your jail and you speak of flexibility?
