You idiots. Lebanese fighting against Lebanese. While the Jews and Americans rape and split Lebanon. Wake up you Neanderthals. You Lebanese think u r the shit with you way of life, yet u fight each other like a bunch of girls. Neither march 8 or 14 will get Electricity when a US or Israeli conventional nuclear war head puts Lebanon in the Dark Ages. So go ahead and keep fighting like girls, instead of standing together as Lebanese and as men, against a deadly and dangerous American and Zionist expansion into Arab land and resources.

We don't want any filthy Iranian electricity. If the Hezz metweili would pay for their share there would be no electricity problem.
Isn't it enough they put arms all over Lebanon. Now they want to further their Mediterranean dreams. NO WAY!! NO TO IRAN.

And don't forget, no water problems too. My friends in Jounieh flush after six uses, or they have to keep ordering the citerne for water. Hizballah has something to do with that. Your internet really sucks, let's belame it on hizballah. Before it use to be get the syrians out, and lebanese know how to deal with each other. All what I hear nothing but excuses from my lebanese friends, this is why your country like that. Always blame someone else.

@smallbrain: This news is useless to us (Paying with dignity people) regardless of the source, the big beneficiary is Iran because they are the sellers. Your people robs the government (Hit Gov employees trying to do their job to collect the electric bills)and destroy our infrastructure (i.e. 2006), so getting nuclear power from Iran will eventually drive three entire countries into darkness when Israel or US hit the nuclear plants in Iran.

Do you think we are going to believe the falling regimes promises, they want to sell us power while we are the richest in the region with natural energy, this is the illusion of falling regimes with their friends the Zionist with their nuclear power games destroying the future of the region.

Actually, do Iranians have power (enough)? One would say definitely no. They hardly have gas (they sell it abroad) to drive. What kind of people are those?

there is a book that Flame is using and it contains all the infos you need to understand this world , it explains everything even how Lebanon invaded Israel once , and it is signed Michel Aoun for certainties and mathematical solution for what goes beyond! you should read it, it will help you and you will not embarasse your self online ! ( look at Flame a true living revolution in human kind )

slash, for the 5836138th time stop making a fool of yourself. really, if you're unable to refute what i say, just dont make up stories that i have a holy book signed by michel aoun and stuff like that (: it will only highlight your idiocy and your refusal to read about the arab/israeli conflict that started in 1948 (where, yes, a lebanese contingent invaded north israel).

and voting down a true fact just because I wrote it (about iran), makes you even more of a dumba$$ :D

both of you are ridiculously ignorant! Same goes for 95% of Lebanese. Cannot wait till the day you all realize that we are the masses and are controlled by 40 yrs experienced old warlords and politicians.
Fight both of you about the electricity, instead of blaming our useless governments of the past 22 yrs. We are the only arab country without electricity!!! Shame on us Lebanese for staying this ignorant ....shame on you
20 February 2012, 07:52

Very well said. I would increase the number to 98%. I was in Lebanon few years back, the nature of Lebanon is beautiful. The people are very friendly and super nice. When it comes to their own politics, they are very ignorant.The proof, history keeps repeating itself, and their leaders never change, yet they expect the country to get better. They are the perfect definition of Einstein insanity.

@FT
Seems like you have a filthy, disturbed (and kind of gay) mind...
Now, if you seriously think that Hezb does not smuggle weapons... well... I'd consider googling "hezbollah smuggle weapons"... and see who's the idiot :)
20 February 2012, 12:43
00
the filthy zionist media terrorist have a google type hallucination about our glorious resistance smuggling weapons.
it's called arming not smuggling you idiot.
20 February 2012, 16:57
00
well of course the western media will write 'smuggle' you foolish thing you (: and you're parroting their very own terms, dumbo.
let me help you: when you smuggle sthg, you do it in secret and dont want anyone to know it. hezb has made it clear, YEARS AGO that their arsenal and training is iranian. what part of this arent you getting, 3ammo?
and yeah, i have a fertile imagination but in your case, i'm sure i'm not too far from the truth :P
and to answer your enquiry, i'm straight, and married but this shows you hold gays in contempt because you meant it as an insult. not very open-minded of you to be contemptible of gays in the 21st century... tsk tsk...

oooooooh.....nice one biggy....Hassan is "clean"....hmmmm...you mean Hassan...the warlord? or Hassan... the assassin? Or do you mean Hassan... the druglord? Or would that be Hassan... the weapon smuggler? Or Hassan... the terrorist? ooooh make up your mind now biggy!
20 February 2012, 09:29

no i'm pretty sure he didnt mean any of the CNN demonized versions of Hassan Nasrallah. He meant the Nasrallah that ALL Lebanese know, whether they admire, envy or hate him.
20 February 2012, 10:51

stop it with the ooooooh, i'm having images of you spinning on a greased pole.
all these adjectives are in you (and your party's) little heads, hardwired to think that turbans+beards=pure evil. hezb doesnt 'smuggle', everybody knows where hez gets its weapons. but you insist on the term 'smuggling' it's fine, remain an idiot.

the filthy zionist media terrorists hallucinate about hassan the drug lord, weapon smuggler, assasin, and most hillarious one...the "terrorist".
only usa and zionist entity consider our glorious resistance to be terrorists. therefore, by saying that, you confirm that you are zionist.

Hizbak arah propaganda employees are here today, filling up this forum with a load of shit as usual in order to meet their daily quotas and take attention away from today's news and their honest, loyal, caring and trust worthy masters.

This idea is stupid.
Build Hydro Electric plants at the Latani River or somewhere elase in lebanon - make jobs build an industry and keep the power in lebanon.
There is no need to import from Syria or Iran or Saudi.
20 February 2012, 09:34

lol first learn to spell the name of our river, it's Litani not Latani.
and second stop your hypocrisy, every development project linked to the Litani river, or other rivers in the south have been threatened and/or bombed by israel. it would be a pity to invest huge amounts only to create an easy target for israel, with potential massive flood in case of bombing..
20 February 2012, 14:45

are you scared of Israel mowaten ???
If you are scared that "this might happen" and "that might happen" then lebanon will get no where.
BUILD INDUSTRY IN LEBANON PERIOD !! Let politics and the Lebanese Army deal with the rest.
20 February 2012, 17:02
10
yes we need industry and now. the thing is we're not even able to refurbish our powergrid because M14 parliamentary majority is always voting out any such project. so how can this country have an industry or make projects if there are unprincipled bureaucrats blocking them because they want their commission on the project to make it pass? the taef accord must be cancelled, and parliament dissolution power transferred back to the president so that any such whimsical and spiteful bureaucracy (disguised as democracy) is avoided.

wow what a major story. we are going to get 100 megawatts? are you kidding me?" that is not enough to light up the mansion in ein el teeneh. plus the 100 megawatts will be supplied to southern beirut for the shiaa only.

What a shame, this Vichy government formed by a criminal regime and criminal organization and stuffed with corrupt ministers, those with Kadafi-like ego, or those working for foreign interests, now has decided to openly use taxes paid by hard-working Lebanese to subsidize the criminal regime in Iran and fund the Basij that are oppressing the Iranian population. Absolutely disgusting! No justice until all these ministers, including Don Quixote and his Don Corleone father-in-law are brought to trial.

That is great news,obviously the Ayatollahs are attempting to be enterpreneraul, they have finnally realized to try there hands in commerce rather then purely on TERROR.

jabalamel, unfortunatly your vocabulary is very limited, I'm hoping one day you will make an attempt by using different tack and different language when you are trying to insult people you don't necessary agree with.I also hope that you appreciate the freedom our fellow lebanese have.i:e to be able to express themselves.Freedom that the great Dr Geagea fought hard for.
