Saniora: Nasrallah Orchestrating FPM's Moves and Trying to Usurp PM's Right to Resign

W460

Head of al-Mustaqbal parliamentary bloc ex-PM Fouad Saniora snapped back Sunday at Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, condemning his remarks on the government and the domestic affairs and accusing him of orchestrating the latest moves of the Free Patriotic Movement.

“In the remarks he addressed to al-Mustaqbal movement, he openly declared that he supports the FPM in its coup against the Constitution and the government,” Saniora said in a statement, referring to the televised speech that Nasrallah delivered on Saturday.

“Sayyed Nasrallah admitted, without equivocation, that Hizbullah is orchestrating the FPM's moves and standing behind its attempts to undermine stability in Lebanon through paralyzing state institutions,” Saniora added.

On Saturday, Nasrallah called on Mustaqbal to engage in dialogue with the FPM to resolve the country's crisis, warning that a possible resignation by Prime Minister Tammam Salam would only plunge the country into further political vacuum.

The FPM has been seeking a change in the government's decision-making mechanism, after it accused Salam of infringing on the authorities of the Christian president.

“Yesterday, Sayyed Nasrallah added new tasks to his tasks as Hizbullah's secretary-general: giving orders to al-Mustaqbal movement to go to a dialogue with the FPM,” Saniora added.

“It was laughable yet lamentable that he specified the topics and results of this dialogue in advance, thinking that al-Mustaqbal movement would submit to his desire without any objections,” the ex-PM went on to say.

He also accused Nasrallah of “appointing himself as a political guide who gives orders and instructions” through “his attempt to usurp the premier's right to resign.”

"On this occasion, it is necessary to laud the patriotic and responsible role that is being practiced by PM Tammam Salam, who enjoys the confidence of the majority of Lebanese and who has enough wisdom and patience to rise above any dictates,” Saniora added.

“Sayyed Nasrallah's remarks clearly demonstrate that he is using (FPM chief) General (Michel) Aoun and the FPM to achieve his goals, while in return General Aoun is relying on Sayyed Nasrallah and Hizbullah's statements and trying to accuse a certain sect of infringing on the rights of another sect,” he said.

Saniora underlined that the solution to the political crisis lies in “the immediate election of a president so that the constitutional institutions can regain their role.”

“Hizbullah is asked to return to the principle of the state so that we can avoid further divides, sedition and gambling with the country's future,” he added.

It's rather clear, is it not, that HA is using the FPM as its agent to collapse the government completely so as to lay the groundwork for the New Hezbollah Project of a three way split rather than the 50-50 split do Christian / Moslems set by Taif. HA wants 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 Sunni Shia Christian. The vision is to relegate Sunnis to a 1/3 and purchasing the shrinking Christian 1/3 in order to create a permanent 2/3 Shia dominated Lebanese Government Aoun has deluded himself into believing that he will be the President under this new regime and his family after him. Aounwas with Syria in 1988 when they promised him the Presidency. The U.S., the Syrians, the French, And Assad, in turn as each has promised to deliver the Presidency. Now HA makes the promise and it's made of air. Aoun is ready to trade Christian power,,such as it is, for nothing, on a false promise of personal gain for himself

(1). Nothing seems to find a solution because of two main problems. One, the reduction of Lebanon's presidency and now with avoid means that the mechanisms of solutions are in a state of inertia. TWO, Aoun's FPM, remote controlled and oxygenated by Hezbollah who is in turn oxygenated by Syria and Iran are aiming to destitute Lebanon of all its constitutional institutions thus hoping to bring about a de facto state of chaos and anarchy.

Wondering Raptor, most of us sense pretty well who you are, but yes, as you said about Aoun, he is evil, I agree, but you my friend, you are trash. Get yourself a life, you're a joke ya habileh.

(2). But apparently this is now backfiring, because the Hezbollah-led M8 coalition, after having tried with the assassination of as many M14 MPs with the tacit help of both Syria and Iran, and after having tried every single trick in the book of bad guys could not make M14 buckle down, the resilience of M14, especially led by Samir Geagea and NOT Saad Hariri nor Siniora, has proven to be a tough nut to crack. Now after Hezbollah is bleeding profusely in Syria and Yemen, now that the Syrian regime is weakened further, that Iran has made its deal with Amreeka the big Satan, M14 is now proven well beyond doubt to be the much better side for the viability and survival of Lebanon, and this in spite of its many flaws.
