Presidency Hits Back at Mustaqbal, Says Aoun Doesn't Need Constitutional 'Lessons'
The Presidency on Monday snapped back at al-Mustaqbal Movement and caretaker Premier Saad Hariri’s press office, stressing that President Michel Aoun does not need constitutional “lessons” from anyone.
“Claims that the Free Patriotic Movement bloc intended to cede its votes to the President are mere fabrications and a prejudgment that preceded the binding parliamentary consultations that the president intended to conduct today,” the Presidency’s press office said in a statement.
“Accordingly, using this as an excuse to ask the president to postpone consultations is a judgment of intentions that cannot be part of any sound political action and a blatant attempt at justifying this request and overlooking other reasons,” the statement added.
“The president, who is entrusted with the constitution, does not need lessons from anyone in this regard,” the statement stressed, noting that Aoun had obliged MPs to name their candidates during previous consultations to name premiers.
The statement also rejected accusations about a “constitutional violation,” urging Hariri and his al-Mustaqbal Movement to stop “the practices that contradict with the text and spirit of the Constitution.”

Bunch of stooges all of them… Circus at its best.
The only way out of this is thru bloody coup, unfortunately there is no other way around it.
Our only savior is someone from the army with some courage. He will need two army infantry divisions. At 3:00 AM, one division will be sent to Baabda palace and the other one to the Southern of Beirut (Dahieh). You will seek and destroy any Hezbollah members who refused to surrender, including Nassrallah. The objective will be an unconditional surrender by Hezbollah. This is non-negotiable. The other division will control the Baabda palace and arrest Michel Aoun for conspiring with Hezbollah, which involved in killing a prime minister and dozens of politicians, and it is been controlled and financed by a foreign entity called Iran.

DO NOT let them fool you that Hezbollah is stronger than the army. All the 300,000 missiles that they have are totally useless in the urban warfare. Also, more than half of the Lebanese Shiites resent Hezbollah and their affiliation to Iran.
I just wish I was in the army during this time… I will be the one who would take this initiative…
