Geagea says Hizbullah did not 'build and protect,' it rather endangered Lebanese

W460

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea slammed Hizbullah Thursday in remarks from Maarab.

Geagea criticized Hizbullah's electoral campaign slogan "we'll keep protecting and building," saying that no one has asked them to protect and that they are rather "putting the Lebanese in danger every given moment."

"The state and the army are the ones who should protect, it is not your job to protect," Geagea told Hizbullah.

He added that Hizbullah had enjoyed a parliamentary majority in the four past years. "What have they built," he asked. "The Lebanese have lived the worst tragedy in history during the past four years."

Geagea had previously said that "a vote for the FPM is a vote for Hizbullah."

"This is true," he said today, telling the Shiite voters that also voting for Hizbullah means voting for the "Free Patriotic Movement," accusing the latter of corruption and incompetence.

I dont trust him or like him. But his rhetoric is spot on. Hezbollah brought nothing but misery to all but its employees on his payroll

Someone has to say something--maybe not the best choice, but he is sort of annoying them, which is nice.

If the independents do not take a strong stance agains Ebola, I am voting LF or Kataeb, or anyone opposing the Iranians, even if I do not like them.
It is a question of weakening Ebola. It is a question of survival.
I agree that no one else speaks up AGAINST Ebola (except some Kataeb), and sometimes Jumblat when he is sober.
