March 14 to Push Forward Cabinet Formation Process, Rejects Hizbullah Participation
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The March 14 alliance is mulling a new plan to push forward the formation of the new cabinet that would be based on the Baabda declaration.
“The coalition will form a political-media pressure bloc to form a neutral cabinet,” March 14 forces general-secretariat coordinator Fares Souaid said in comments published in al-Joumhouria newspaper on Saturday.
He noted that “those who reject to include the Baabda declaration in any ministerial statement should form another cabinet according to its own perceptions.”
The Baabda Declaration was approved unanimously during a national dialogue session in June 2012.
It calls for Lebanon to adopt a policy of disassociation from regional developments.
A source close to the March 14 camp reiterated to An Nahar newspaper that the alliance insists on the formation of a cabinet that excludes Hizbullah.
“We will not sit on the same table with Hizbullah as long as it's fighting battles in Syria, wants to impose its conditions on the Lebanese and foreign countries consider it a terrorist organization,” the source added.
Hizbullah has dispatched fighters to battle alongside the Syrian regime against rebels seeking the overthrow of President Bashar Assad.
The conflict, pitting a Sunni-dominated rebel movement against Assad, has raised sectarian tensions in Lebanon and Lebanese Sunni fighters have also been killed while fighting alongside Syrian rebels.
Souaid called on President Michel Suleiman and Prime Minister-designate Tammam Salam to assume their responsibilities and for a cabinet immediately.
Six months after caretaker Prime Minister Najib Miqati's government resigned, the feuding parties have so far failed to agree on a new cabinet.
Salam is seeking to form a cabinet divided equally between the Lebanese foes and the centrists and rejects to grant the veto power to any party.

U know guys, someday it will end in syria and assad wont be there anymore, after more than 100 thousands death it will be hard for him to stay... (Or for the other senario it will stay in a small part in syria but still it wouldn't viable) and then guys hezbollah wont have the support it use to..
The only constant is lebanon, the only support HA must search for is inside lebanon, in the same house that we taken them in, provided shelter and help in 2006... HA must be aware of this, stop treating the other as crap and as he was the revolution gard of lebanese islamic revolution (islamic resistance...)....

HA must be aware that no one can eliminate the other in lebanon, christian forces tried it before, secular forces (no all but most harakeh wataniyeh) did the same mistake and after them sunis... The only true solution for lebanon is a secular state in wish we all have same rights and same responssability... Federation is also an option but is it viable? Can we risk to provoque wages of dislacement? And would we really give up on lebanon as a country? Would it be really viable...
Yes hezbollah must get out of syria, back to lebanon, not to impose his wishes but mabe to help build a state... And this before it became too late....
Be realistic a litle man

hezbollah =
- weakening state institutions... making its sheep believe that only hezbollah act for them and that the state is inefficient
- axing everything on israel: no proposition and NO vision for lebanon prosperity... what are hezbis economical, social, environmental, educational propositions?
- blocking any decision that is against the party's interests...
- allying with israel: each one needs the other for their marketing purposes
- lies to the lebanese people: shebaa can be easily recovered if hezbis ask syrians to handle UN the official papers rpoving it is lebanese but do not want to for marketing purposes!
- lies to the lebanese people: claim to be lebanese while pledging allegiance to iran!
- threat to lebanese institutions and people : blackmail of the country thanks to their arsenal, if lebanese do not comply with their desires they take the streets...
- state within the state: nothing is decided without their approval
And so on..............

Peace must come with lebanese involved in it, certainly not with hezbollah as it is now (all u described) but with hezbollah as a political party obeying the same laws and having the same rights than any other lebanese party... We have to find a way to leave all together, there is no other solution....
PS: and after sending the accused protect to justice of course... But saddely no one seems to get that, sometimes it gets freaky how history repeats itself...

Bigjohn the gouvernement is not a table they sit on and discuss stuff, it is the excutive power of our country, how would this dxdcutive power bear the implication of HA in syria? How would he act on the international scene? What would be his position? Distantion polici with a part of the gouvernement sending thousand of fighter there? Like the crap of government we had until now? So why changing it if it was fine? It is just asking of march 14 to come to governement like they were when saad was in it (same gov thry brought down) with this time hezbollah not only controling the airport and talking about dismentelment of his telecom, but with hezbollab with a nationwide network, the airport and an army batteling in syria defending the same regime march 14 accuse for it's leaders assassination...
Where is the logic in it?

Anyway hezbollah will do whatever it wants, so why not a governement of technocrates that can serve people concerns, social, economicsl, everyday stuff... And hezbollah / march 14 and whoever want can go on the tawlet hiwar ,di an account on facebook, open a blog or any stupid other way to waist their time and let us live a litle...
Tawlet el hiwar HA said it will not adress hos weapon inside lebanon and he did (yes they made him do "silah el ichara"..) , they agreed that they will take the arms of palestenian camps of jibril and co ;yet did they? Hezballah changed his mind... , they went to qatar to agree to form a coalition governement and not put it down: they did put it down, they went and agreed on baabda declaration; now they refute it.... Nit a waist of time?
I do agree they have to sit and find a solution, but this solution seems far away, why don't they just put a technocrate gov to deal with dayly issues and take their time alone in discussion?....
Any idea?
