French Officers in Lebanon to Train Army

some people are bitter the LAF are getting stronger

@mowaten E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T. Still laughing. Thank you

@mowaten I am STILL laughing. Thank you thank you

Bon jour, smile you are on French fries training list.

Mowaten, better speak French than Farsi. I bet you, if you were given half a chance to hold a French passport, you would have jumped at the very thought. I still see no queues at the Iranian embassy, but I see them at the French, UK and US embassies and guess who are most of the applicants?

and he votes himself up 14 times. Pathetic!

the stronger and better equipped the LAF gets the more the resentment of those who claim to support the LAF. The truth is as clear as the sun on a summer's day: they are happy to see the LAF weak and under equipped. They are only loyal to their sectarian militia which they call "resistance". Their resistance is resisting the state, the army, and civil peace.

lol phoenix, if only you knew...
besides, it was a frigging joke, your whole debate about which is better french or farsi, is completely irrelevant. if anything let's compare what is better, 3Bn$ worth of french training, or 3Bn$ worth of iranian weapons? even if what they have is less advanced than french ones, at least they would give us the best they have without restrictions.

so now it is $3 billion worth of training? Is that your latest propaganda? You start a lie, you embellish on it, and then you start believing yourself. Shameless!

My friend @inibriated is indeed a kind man, now offering me a glass or Israeli drink. By the way, what is the life of a troll, who has to created numerous fake accounts to blast a Forumite who doesn't sing music to him, doesn't that sound eerily like some people we already know? What is the life of a person who feels that by attempting to ridicule another person wins him the day? The trouble with such trolls is that they don't notice that they also lost the night, then make a very bad start to the coming day. Just have a life, one is quite enough.

I don't vote myself up. I just enjoy my comments so much. I read my comments 15-20 times and look in the mirror and give myself the thumbs up!

Mowaten, just how many times are we to repeat to you that the $4BN deal is done, that the arms have started to come, that the training too is now coming. Mawaten, you are educated and you know that such massive deals take time to seal, that so much protocol have to be taken care of, that every single item has to be inventoried and closely monitored, the donors as the donees know of that insidious infiltration possibility, could be Hezbollah infiltration, IS, you call it, they've taken that into consideration. If the Saudis are the donors, it doesn't make them the bad guys now, the deal is done and there's nothing at Hezbollah incorporated that you can do. In such a case, the Iranian deal did not come through, and I bet you, if we signed with Iran, Iran would have taken that very same route of caution except the caution will be levied at different quarters, maybe on us the LF, who knows judging by your level of routine attack over this arms deal?

The Saudis are the same ones that sponsors the takfiris, that beheaded the Lebanese soldiers phoenix. They are the bad guys, and it is a huge shame to see our Army waiting for these Wahabis to pay up.

We should not let our army be dragged around like this, they should be supported ASAP, the Gulf/west countries likes to drag on the LAF captives aswell as the weapons and donations.

Yes texas, I should remember. You being pro-saudi ofcourse means you are an anti Qatari. To people that doesn't know, the Qatari and Saudi Governments are having a private war with each other, Qatar supporting the Muslim Brotherhood Morsi, while the Saudis supports the Sisi coup.

How could I forget about that, texas you should remember about the Qataris, Turkish, and Saudis cooperation against Syria in 2011.
The Qataris are just as bad as the Saudis in my opinion.

Al Jazeera & Al Arabiya were sprewing the same words back then.

I am still laughing @mowaten !!! I know your comment was more than 4 hours ago, but I cannot help myself. So so so funny!

No, all we can hope for is that they will learn to wear their berets in the civilized fashion.
Seriously, the French are doing their best to provide a target-rich environment.

I laughed when you wrote "norma.jean help!"

The Iranian revolution will never reach Lebanon. Not in a million years.

@phil
It does not need to reach Lebanon because it is already here. You have one million people in Lebanon who worship the ayatollah and consider Iran their homeland.

The weapons did not even arrive yet. So I do not understand you peoples enthusiasm, they describe the weapons as "new" yeah sure, we will see if it arrives.

Article here also confirms, “the arms delivery will extend to a three-year period.”

Yeah sure, we've heard that for quite sometime now. Yet we still have you people waiting to gnaw on the bones of France & Saudi Arabia, bones that never gets transferred.

is that a martyred jihadi iranian terrorist familia in techno color in your avatar?

Didn't you among others, type that these weapons would arrive in January? Never happend, they talk the talk these people, never walks the walk. Sorta like you do texas.

It's funny when I expose your lies, I suddenly become a liar according to you.

Sure texas, i'm the liar. You are the one and only truth here, especially when it concerns Saudi Arabia, the IDF and U.S Army.

Hostility towards the French and Saudis phoenix. If you read my comment otherwise, then it is not hard to spot your Geagea oriented feelings. Which indeed are the same as in the civil war.

When my kids goes to study, I put their lives in the hands of God, and the Lebanese Army. What I wish for, is the Lebanese army to get support from Iran, the same way the Resistance gets it. That way we would have the most powerful army in the Middle East. The West or Saudis are not going to provide us with that sort of power Phoenix.

I know you do not like this idea, because of your Pro-Western stances, but it is you who should face something, aslong as we take weapons exclusively from the Western and Wahabi nations, then the army will remain weak indeed.

Mystic, your Ayatollah Khomeini was given refuge in France for years. Iran even throughout the years it kept cold on the US was having rather warm relations with France to the point where the US had to make the point with French companies dealing with Iran, to little avail. True, I am an LFer, but you never complained when I stand by Hezbollah on so many issues, except when I am in support of the Lebanese State and the army and worst of all, when I criticize Hezbollah, I suddenly become to you a Pro-Everything that you dislike. Have I now taken anti-Saudi stands here and still do? But when Saudi takes good decisions, shall we criticize blindly? The only Pro I am is Lebanon, I fought for this and not for anything else, should you be in my way, then I will have to confront you too.

**Have I NOT taken anti-saudi...**

Phoenix, it is not a big secret. That the LF nowadays, gets heavy funding from Saudi Arabia. Which means, by biting the hands that feeds you, makes you a hypocrit Phoenix.

It is not a big secret neither, that the LF was betrayed by the U.S and Israel, when they all withdrew from Lebanon. Leaving you people to die that is, but you didn't die now did you?
The LAF is not the LF phoenix, you must understand that. Yes the LF is made out of soldiers during the civil war, because they deserted the national army in that time.

That you now write, that you want to fight me for typing these facts, amuses me very much my friend. You should not let emotions get to you people, I think that is why the LF are weak this day.

Mystic, are you in truth a propagandist? Bro, at times you baffle me. You do have that uncanny way of twisting facts. Am I a hypocrite, hell NO, otherwise I wouldn't be so advocative in my life. Saudi does not finance us the LF but Mustaqbal our political allies, we have many legal ways to finance ourselves trust me. Then in the war, when our Muslim brother deserted the army, taking with him the tanks and weaponry, where do we go? Sure, when your side was wailing day and night, Al Mowt Ilal Kafirin, Ilal In3izaliyin, when you were massacring our people and burning their churches, side by side with the Palestinians and Syrians, were you expecting us to kneel? No Mystic, we do NOT kneel we fight and we will do it again if we had to. Mystic, make a small effort NOT to hide historical facts because here you'll not move an inch. Your side is as guilty as our side, simple and period, do not exonerate yourselves at our expense.

My so called side, never burned churches phoenix. If you looked at the war in neighbouring Syria, you would see the Resistance fighters are actually guarding Assyrian churches overthere.

Phoenix, I believe that you do not actually know what is going on around here. Maybe because you live outside. Those takfiris at our borders, are the ones that will burn our churches and mosques if they reach further into Lebanon.

You should rather care about that, instead of fantasising about fighting the Resistance. When the LF fought the Palestinians, the resistance did not exist back then. People that knows about the civil war and studied it, can also confirm that.

No. I LIKE your Idea Mystic. JUST show us the money.... Show us the dam money..The Money! All what I see instead of lebanese army getting stronger as you are "wishing" iran's top leaders no2 to be exact is claiming us part of his Empire.

pityful as usual you are barking here to try and look smart...

if the lebanese military deemed it useless or no good to be trained by french then why are the french coming? seems you assume the french come here on their own, no one asked them... pityful ignorants you are....

See how IDIOT you are both?

It's hard to take you people seriously with your emotional constipation. If just the Army were allowed to take weapons from other countries abroad, like that Russian system that was denied. Then it could go much better.

We should not forget, that Lebanons whole constitution is based on secterianism @freedomarch. So pointing fingers on others for the Taef Agreement, is something very ridiculous.

Why are you so concerned about my picture on this profile? This has nothing to do with the article at hand.
