Raad Says Void Better than President Elected by 'Majority Lacking Clear Vision'
Hizbullah's top lawmaker Mohammed Raad noted Sunday that his party prefers continued presidential vacuum over the election of a head of state by “a majority lacking a clear vision for confronting the threats that are facing the country.”
“Betting on the election of a president by a majority lacking a clear vision for confronting the threats that are facing the country will make us lose our entire homeland, even if that happens in a constitutional manner,” Raad warned.
“The country is now safeguarded, and we hope a constitutional act will come to preserve the achievements of the resistance fighters and the accomplishments of this country's people,” the head of the Loyalty to Resistance bloc added.
Hizbullah, the Free Patriotic Movement and some of their allies have been boycotting electoral sessions aimed at choosing a new president for more than a year now. They are demanding that political parties agree on a candidate before heading to parliament for a vote.
“We are very keen on electing a president for the Lebanese republic as soon as possible, but we don't tolerate crippling state institutions over the continued disagreement on the president's affiliation and characteristics,” Raad added, referring to the paralyzed cabinet and parliament.
“We want the cabinet and the parliament to convene, and should we disagree over this necessity we must not disagree over the fact that this country must be for all its sons and that no one in it can eliminate or exclude others,” the lawmaker went on to say.
Turning to Hizbullah's military intervention in Syria, Raad said his party has “made great progress in confronting the takfiris' threat.”
"The current action in Syria is aimed at completing what we have already achieved in order to find a political settlement that does not involve the realization of any of these groups' objectives,” he said.
Raad noted that the current Vienna negotiations over Syria's crisis “will definitely affect our situation in Lebanon.”
“But with all due honesty, and without any illusions, we do not trust a lot of the parties who are meeting in Vienna … because we cannot be reassured about a party sitting around the negotiations table and, at the same time, supplying the takfiri terrorists with the most modern of weapons,” Raad added.

Actually Saudi Arabia are to blame for the current crisis in the whole region, people in March 14 tends to believe that Lebanon is an isolated island, far away from the rest of the Middle East, they think we can carry on whilst we have a takfiri invasion ongoing.
March 14 also believes that Saudi Arabias goals should be implemented in this Country, de facto making Lebanon a safe haven for takfiris.

Only people blinded by their own prejudice still debate who is holding off the election of a president. The answer is rather simple: who are the parties refusing to go to parliament to elect a president?

There you have it.... can't be any more simple than that.... the reason for the void in the Presidency. Iran and Hezbollah prefer the void. The constitution means nothing to them.
And all this with the cooperation of the deserter-ex-general, who is profiting from this situation, getting paid off with Iranian rials to keep the void.

....because we cannot be reassured about a party sitting around the negotiations table and, at the same time, supplying the takfiri terrorists with the most modern of weapons,” Raad added.
Yes, only you and your sectarian terrorists should have the most of modern weapons so you can butcher the syrian people. Obviously, Raad and his cowardly shia non resistance are hurting badly because they are being hunted down by TOW missiles; )

Assad is actually a good moderate guy, he is the one holding Syria together by fighting ISIS and Nusra & all the so called "Moderates" backed by NATO and the Gulf.
Assad is also doing the whole World a favor, by wiping off the takfiris of all corners on Earth going into Syria.
Yes Assad is a butcher, he is butchering ISIS and Al Qaeda groups, what is so wrong about that?
Do you love ISIS and Nusra peace?

Nice show you got going on, I would like to get me one of those "Moderate" costumes someday.
That is what I love so much about Wahabis, they cry wolf "OOh Assad is killing us, we need help NATO we need help America, and when America didn't turn up, you throw down the Green Opposition flag, and grab ISIS flags instead.
Human rights Movement are also controlled by Saudi Arabia just for the record.

peace, Assad saved Lebanon from a destructive civil war we had going on, Syria also helped the Resistance taking back the South in year 2000.
Yes we are pro Syrian to this day, just like they were pro Lebanon in our days.
I Take Assad over ISIS and Nusra anyday.

Raad Says Void Better than President Elected by 'Majority Lacking Clear Vision'
Two things worthy of note : He acknowledges there is a majority that he and who he represents are not part of; he does not respect the democratic process and acknowledges shamelessly he and those behind him are obstructing the election process.

وأكد مراسلنا، أن الفتاة السورية التي لم تتجاوز الـ14 سنة من العمر، خطفت من مخيم النازخين السوريين قرب المدينة الصناعية في زحلة بداعي الزواج، وبحسب سكان المخيم فإن الفتاة خطفت تحت تهديد السلاح من قبل عناصر تابعين لميليشيا حزب الله.
وأشار أهالي الفتاة، إلى أن من أقدم على اختطاف فاطمة محمد الحمد هو علي أبو سويد المنحدر من بلدة الفاعور في البقاع الغربي.
وتقدم أهالي الفتاة بشكوى إلى الجيش اللبناني الذي يقف متفرجا في مثل هذه الحوادث حيث أن هؤلاء الأشخاص الخارجون عن القانون يحتمون بميليشيا حزب الله اللبناني.
