جعجع يرد على عون: لا احد يحمّله مسؤولية امن الحريري وحتى الأخير لا يطلب ذلك

Aoun IS responsible for Hariri's security, because Aoun is the Christian mouthpiece and puppet of Hezbollah!

I disagree with Geagea. This parliament is no longer representative of the people. It's mandate has expired according to the constitutional schedule.

Only a new parliament can legitimately elect a new president to best fit the choice of the people according to the new political balance in the country.

Having said this, its unacceptable not to have a president during the parliamentary election process.

This is why I believe Michel Suleiman should be nominated as INTERIM president until the parliamentary elections take place after which a new president should be elected which will in turn appoint a new prime minister. Having him as an interim president does not mean renewing his mandate but simply keeping the presidency active until our loser politicians decide to move on !

Apparently, Dr. Arreet 7akeh not only does not understand art 7akyo elo. He does not understand any 7akeh for that matter. Send him back to the ebtida2i, perhaps then he will have a chance to become a real Doc of Bull in 19 or so years.

parliamentary election on proportionality basis is the gateway real democracy in Lebanon
and at least the president must come from the biggest Christian parliamentary bloc issued by the proportionality election law
or by popular vote judst to curb outside interferrences
god bless democracy

To summarize this; sooner or later GMA is president (it is his rights or not is debatable) what is not debatable, 'now' bel mnih accept him as such so just to have a good end n everyone is happy, or 'later' bel abih (use ur imaginations on dat..(yea democracy marhaba! sah bas amtin ken fi a true democracy in the region?! if democracy was well implemented GMA would have long became president)

Both Michel Aoun & Samir Geagea are disillusioned if they believe either truly represents the Christians of Lebanon. On that, I always believed the President was the president for all and not just for one particular religion or sect. With this logic, i'm not a maronite so I shouldn't really care about the president.

If Aoun can garantee hariri's security, this means at least one of the following:
1- he is implicated in the past assassinations.
2- he could have prevented them and he did not.
3- he has knowledge of future assassination plans.
in any case he should be summoned for investigation for the mere fact of saying this.

i imagine comments will start raining, but any real neutral person would analyse it the same way

the message is clear : accept our weapons and agenda, and we wont kill u like we killed ur father. Great deal...

Is it fair to think in terms of strong to represent the christians...
isn't it better to say strong for the Lebanese?
As long as we think we Christians,Muslims,Druz etc...we Lebanese people will remain ignorant.....

So Michel Aoun is applying to become Saad Hariri's bodyguard.
The position usually goes to men and women who are tough, courageous and are ready to take a bullet for their employer.
Aoun's CV and experience doesn't fit the description. It reads:
"- Courageously made a run to the French embassy when the Syrian troops invaded, left my wife, kids and men in Baabda to resist
- Courageously stayed in Paris while my supporters were being beaten up and tortured by the my present allies.
- Courageously allied myself to the assassins and car bomb specialists in order to seek the presidency."
What do you think should Saad give him a job?

lady gaga were is ur new outfit? this ninja-da3ish style falyahkom da3ish hereyyyy! :))

Sophia shaytan lanya7kom aoun bi l7ili wa nifaq ma3rof wa makshof bi kol al3abo shakh sa3ed sa7i7 ba3do shab bas l3omer byefre2 bas ma3 jebran basiil your gma binafeq ktir bi siyesi.
La wala waalfi la li aoun 7elem blis bel janni

Can you please tell us what Aoun said instead of castigating us. Instead of your great opinion, you could have posted a fact.
Please illuminate us.

Is it me or does naharnet overuse the word "slams".? Everything seems to be slams this or slams that. I suggest you use a thesaurus.

@FT : The only one who doesn't seem to understand Aoun is you.

Here's the transcript on Tayyar : http://www.tayyar.org/Tayyar/News/PoliticalNews/ar-LB/aoun-otv-aziz-zek-286.htm

" قلت له أنّني أستطيع أن أضمن له أمنه السياسي إذا أراد العودة إلى لبنان. ولكن إن لم أكن في موقع السلطة، لا أستطيع أن أضمن شيئاً."

You're a joke FT. You wouldn't believe Aoun would say such atrocities if he told them to your face !

And you go on accusing M14 media like a crying little girl. You are pathetic, otherwise known as a AOUNIE!

Who's gonna protect the children from this child killer Geagea!

Please can u define "political safety" i enjoy readding ur post, but i got lost on this one...
Political safety.... He will assure that his political path will be fine?... Hariri is outside leb for political safety? (In my opinion he should hv never left, better die with ur fellows but political safety?...)
Are u sure that was what he meant? And he cannot assure this "political safety" except if he is president?....

@flamethrower, M11er, or all others that have lots of time arguing always here, Iran and USA are negotiating, becoming best pals. Thus Iran is negotiating with Israel because USA will never get into negotiations with iran unless it guarantees israel's safety. Which also means Hezbollah's bullshit against Israel is just to scare masses and unite them under the same old slogan. Hezbollah wants lebanon, Saudi arabia wants bachar to kneel and leave the iranian alliance. thats it thats all. The USA has weakened Assad in order to have better power for negotiations with Iran's nuclear program.

The only sane person in this country doing its job is Riad Salemeh, preserving our banks and keeping us safe with reserves. Or else we would have collapsed a loooooooong time ago. good thing he didnt enter this political game, warlords would have ruined his good reputation like with Sleiman and Miqati.

Example of people who lost their "political security":

Hariri, Tueini, Kassir, Hawi, al-Hassan, Fleihan , Gemayel, Eido, Ghanem, Hajj, Hamadeh, Murr and Chidiac.

Aoun had lost his political security and stayed exiled in France until Hezbollah and Assad gave him back his political security.

Tony Montana: "In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women."

Michel Aoun: "In this country, you gotta kiss Hezbi's hand first. Then when you get their blessing, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get Hariri back."

Tony Montana: "I kill a communist for fun, but for a green card, I gonna carve him up real nice."

Michel Aoun: "I ignited an inter-Christian war for fun, but for the Presidency, I gonna carve them up real nice."

Tony Montana: "Chi Chi, get the yeyo."

Michel Aoun: "Gi Gi, get the yeyo."

Aoun is the most popular leader among christians and that's according to him. But according to the polls Dr Geagea now represents at least 45% of the christians by himself. Among men its about 65%. And if you ant to do polls on the onces that are willing to fight to death for the sake of lebanon, he will get 95% of the christians. So Aoun go and suck on a banana. Aoun your majority of support among christians comes from elderly women, girls and some young idiots (with all due respect to women). Geagea will take over East Beirut in matter of minutes. I swear I am not exaggerating (God forbids if we had to). What when the christians are in danger, there will be no one on the front lines but the LF, Kataeb and Ahrar. LF is the power broker in East Beirut. There is no danger on christians as long there is Hakim. Hakim for president

syria will never accept a president that does not lick their feet...aoun is the perfect puppet for that, that is why M8 are desperate that he is elected to please their masters... and they talk about "no foreign powers shall decide! " LOL @ those hypocrits!!!

Marada Movement leader MP Suleiman Franjieh to NBN: No president can be elected in Lebanon without Bashar Assad's consent.

I find it funny how you defend your sectarian despot leaders with such passion. Do you defend your country with such vigor? It looks like most of you are just cowards who stream to news forums like this for a chance to bash a point here and there against political opponents.
