Change and Reform Hopes for Election of President 'through Lebanese Will'
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The Change and Reform bloc demanded on Tuesday that the dispute over the presidential elections be resolved through Lebanese channels.
MP Ibrahim Kanaan said after the bloc's weekly meeting: “We should adhere to the Lebanese will and constitutional means to solve this issue.”
“We have heard of various initiatives, some foreign, to resolve the dispute over the presidency, but this issue must remain a Lebanese one,” he added.
Furthermore, the lawmaker remarked: “We hope that a solution to the presidential vacuum would respect constitutional institutions, Muslim-Christian coexistence, and the people's will.”
Lebanon has been without a president since the term of Michel Suleiman ended in May without the election of his successor.
Ongoing disputes between the March 8 and 14 camps have thwarted the polls.
Jean-François Girault, Director of the Department of the Middle East and North Africa at the French Foreign Ministry, had twice visited Lebanon to attempt to reach a breakthrough in the elections, but he has so far failed.

Kanaan: We hope that a solution to the presidential vacuum would respect constitutional institutions, Muslim-Christian coexistence, and the people's will.
The constitutional institutions and the people's will clearly say go to parliament and vote for a President and it is that simple. Stop this farce, Stop lying, Stop undermining our intelligence.

Sorry, I don't understand people of your kind... What is your purpose on this forum? Is it to wait for anybody to post so you can shower them with your ridiculous insults?! I am voicing my opinion on the article and if you don't like my opinion you may express yours. Resorting to insults and personal attacks is a sure sign of uncivilized weak people.

The incredible credible flamethrower once said :
"...flamethrower--
I respect many differing opinions and you know it. "
and this "respect" is clearly demonstrated in each and every one of his legendary posts.

FT, last week I told you as I do to a brother, to desist from name-calling people in this forum. This is getting worse by the day with you. In fact, this forum is not about calling our ideological opponents with any kind of name, you ya FT ought to know that this is a forum, people have different views and as such different views must be accepted in good faith and never resorting to such lows as showed by you recently. Mowaten, Southern, Mystic, Cityboy amongst others are people we agree with at times, and at times vehemently disagree with, but pretty much of the time they clearly abstain from your ways. FT, please, no one wishes you any bad, but please, it's not a secret, just respect people so that they will respect you wou bass ya akhe.

Marcus, Flamethrower is the black sheep of this forum, the most despised person on this forum because of his ridiculous comments. He says things just to say them even when they don't make sense (like his post above). His purpose on this forum is to give the Aouniyeh a voice, and he does a terrible job of doing that. I have an Aouneh friend who's much smarter and knows how to defend Aoun, yet he acknowledges where Aoun screwed up, unlike this moron we simply call Flamey. No matter how much he embarrasses himself, no matter how many arguments he loses, he will be on this site until the day he dies because his only purpose in life is to harass everyone on this site.

Why do you guys even respond to him and give him a second of your time? I learnt a long time ago that he's not here to debate. So, I ignore him and click on "Report" on his crap. That's it. Just ignore him.
Mystic and Southern are deluded, but at least they debate you.

It's not him to whom I'm giving a second of my time, it's the forum. I'm giving the forum a second of my time just to make sure Flamey knows where his place is on this forum.
Mystic is a little different. He debates, but his judgement is clouded by his loyalty to Hezbollah, needless to say he's very subjective and his arguments are based on the propaganda he hears from Hezbollah leaders, when in reality the situation behind the scenes is something different.

People like you Mr. Kanaan should stop the circus show, everyone is perfectly aware that this presidential vacuum is caused by your FPM and Hezbollah. Get it clear, Michel Aoun, or better known as the Claoun, or the deserter, or the turbo fan of lies, or the deceiver, the fabricator, the greedy old man, the coward, the rabbit of Rabieh and before that, the Rabbit of Baabda, the man who flees when the going gets tough, the rubber-stamper,....this man will never be president, period and Hezbollah will have to ply and comply to the rules and the Constitution of this country. You guys don't want Geagea? Fine, we can immediately have us a new president if Aoun buckles and muzzles up and allows us to move forward. Enough!!!
