Read this story in English
أعلنت قيادة الجيش الثلاثاء أنها "باشرت اتخاذ الاجراءات الآيلة الى ملاحقة" النائب معين المرعبي بعد أن "تمادي في التهجم على المؤسسة العسكرية والتجريح بقيادتها".
وجاء في بيان للجيش صدر مساء الثلاثاء "بعد ان تمادى النائب معين المرعبي في التهجم على المؤسسة العسكرية والتجريح بقيادتها، تعلن هذه القيادة انها آثرت منذ اليوم وصاعدا، عدم التعليق على تصريحات النائب المذكور".
وأشارت القيادة الى "انها باشرت اتخاذ الاجراءات الآيلة الى ملاحقة النائب المذكور امام الجهات المختصة، وفقا لما تنص عليه القوانين والانظمة المرعية الاجراء، وذلك في ما يتعلق بالتهجم والافتراءات التي دأب على سوقها تجاه المؤسسة وقيادتها".
وكان المرعبي قد رأى في حديث إذاعي صباح الإثنين أن العماد قهوجي "إنسان فاشل وهو مسؤول عن كل الأخطاء والفتن، وكلامه لا طعم له"، لافتاً الى أنه "موظف يجب أن يقوم بواجبه"، متهماً إياه باستخدام "المؤسسة ليصل الى رئاسة الجمهورية".
ورد الجيش على المرعبي الإثنين في بيان قائلا "ليعلم سعادته أن ضباط الجيش وعسكرييه كافة، ليسوا موظفين لديه بل لدى الشعب اللبناني بأسره، وهم لا يخضعون إلا لقرارات السلطة الشرعية والإرادة الوطنية الجامعة".
وقال الجيش أن "القيادة تحتفظ لنفسها بحق الرد أمام القضاء المختص كونه يصر على مواصلة افتراءاته من دون رادع".
إلا أن المرعبي قال في حديث إلى صحيفة "الجريدة" الكويتية اليوم الثلاثاء أن "بيان الجيش بايخ جداً ومليء بالأكاذيب مثل العادة" متابعا "أنا جاهز لأستقيل، أنا وقائد الجيش جان قهوجي، ولنحتكم إلى بعض القضاة الموثوقين ليتبين من المقصّر ومن يستغل منصبه لأمور شخصية".
وبدأ تصاعد الحرب الكلامية بين المرعبي والجيش منذ مقتل الشيخ أحمد عبد الواحد في الكويخات بعكار في أوائل أيار الماضي.وقبلها كان يعترض نواب "المستقبل" في عكار على أداء الجيش لأنه اعتقل العديد ممن ساعدوا النازحين السوريين بحسب قولهم الأمر الذي ينفيه الجيش بتاتا.

he is an employee, he is unsuccessfull,so what is new? this is the sentiment of most of the Lebanese people: is he going to sue us all?
clearly he has the mentality of his boss aoun, and cannot accept anybody to criticize him.

agree @Harrier.... by the same token, Ashraf Rifi should sue Aoun and all his brilliant MPs, Berri and his MPs, and hizb of thugs MPs as they have on numerous occasions attacked his person and his performance unjustifiably!

How many times do I need to repeat that the Army (leaders) shouldn't get involved in politics. This isn't its mission. If General Qahwaji has a personal agenda and dreams of becoming our next President, then he should step down and dedicate himself full time in this.
For the time being, we need an army leader that focuses all his attention and energy on the sovereignty and security of the Republic.

This army is a disgrace, they serve the interest of the Syrian/Iranian regimes led by their cronies HA and the FPM, the army's job is to protect the sovereignty of it's nation and defend it's citizens no matter who the violators are but our beloved army are just mere observes when it comes to Syrian violations and that is a fact, as for the killings of the 2 sheikhs in Akkar, well anyone who believes it was not deliberate needs to be examined, here is a convoy of vehicles passing thru the checkpoint whether they stopped or not is irrelevant, the army without any warning shots opens fire on this convoy hitting ONLY the vehicle the 2 sheikhs were in killing them both which both happen to be anti March 8 , out of the 4 or 5 vehicles the only vehicle targeted happen to be the one with the 2 sheikhs in it? give me a break, a corrupt government with a corrupt army command, plain and simple.

@fadi_albeiruti, my friend, not everything is always as it seems. Yes there are thugs and corruption in every organization but please let us not condemn an entire institution full of noble young people serving their country and giving their lives by being caught in the middle of political mayhem. The army is used day in and day out as a post office delivering messages very between awful and dishonorable politicians full of themselves and only serving themselves instead of the people. The Army is my pride always and forever and yes I believe those who abuse their authority while wearing the uniform and commit murders will be brought to justice.

@Bandoul, I believe I stated " our beloved army " and also made sure I mentioned that the army's command was corrupt and not the entire army, I love and support the LAF as much as anybody, but as a free thinking man I have no problems criticizing where criticism is due, this honorable army is led by corrupt Syrians/Iranians boot lickers period, there is no other way of putting it.

Down with the Army !! Qahwaji is nothing but a spinless wimp as well as his soldiers !!

Qahwaji is just an employee and he has to apply his goverment politics rules.
Finally!! The army is answering the thugs back! The 2 sheikhs didn't stop on a barrage they had weapon and alcohol and were heading toward a Kawmi festival, what other alternatives did the soldiers have? Yalla next target Daher, Katicha and Geagea

Deport him to Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Libya, or Qatar. What a joke. THis guys is a disgrace to the legislative Assembly and a disgrace to the party he belongs to called the Future Movement of Saadedine El Hariri. Dear Mr. MP you will resign before any soldier let alone our honorable Commander in Chief. ehhh tfeee 3alal hayk bda3a.

rastafarian why dont you join the army and show us how its done, dont talk about the army like that ,would you like us to bring the Syrian army back for you..
