بري: مخزون بحر لبنان يؤهلنا لتصدر الدول النفطية وتسديد ديوننا

Fill it up pleazzzzzzzzzzzze.

but we are not April 1st today

Thank you God and please make sure they spend it wisely especially on the Lebanese academical and sports talents that have been wasted and burried alive for the past 40years,Amen.

Why dont these useless Lebanese leaders walk the talk instead of always talking crap all the time. They never have anything constructive to say to the Lebanese. Why dont you ever report on who is causing the bickering and why. Name the names and let's just get on with it. Who are the show stoppers and more importantly WHY. Report this please instead of useless talk. The Lebanese people rely on journalistic reports to determine next steps...e.g. making leaders accoutable, protest, etc....burn some tires.

The Politicians will no doubt fight over who will line their pockets with the oil wealth before anything is done like most of the Wealth of Lebanon.

What we know about Lebanon and with Lebanon's luck:

Politicians will get most of it and/or a new technology, bypassing oil, will be found on the first day Leb starts pumping oil.

another subject of fighting between the eager politicians we have.

i wonder if the average citizen will ever benefit from the exploitation of the gas resources....

Good news not for our people but for the thieves politicians..

Oil is a poison, the worse kind.
That will be the final blow to our poor country, beirut will be dubai, a visual and cultural horror, and the poor of course will remain poor.

We can't even export olive oil without killing each other, imagine petroleum products. The best Lebanon can do is leave this reserve buried under the ocean, it is better to be there than to be piped for free to Iran. This was Iran order given to Berri.

oh, no! why couldn't they just discover some clean water . . .

When we look at the appointments of the management board i have two thoughts:

1) does it make sense that the appointments are done on religious criteria. Is it not in the interest of all Lebanese thatonly the best, most competent, and honest candidates get selected whatever their background.

2) how come the candidates are only men? Should we not have also women holding responsibilities in this country.

Due to the current difficult political situation in Lebanon, the Government/President should establish a board of management made up entirely of foreign oil experts. That way things would be done as they should and the quicker the better bring much needed income into the Lebanese economy.

Hey Berri....Iran, Russia, or China will not do the drilling. You and your Shia will not sign contracts to get all the money while the hezz have guns. That means you will be dead before the drilling starts. Stop salivating.

Another excuse for a war in Lebanon! There is nothing good from this, just more theft from our politicians and what was foriegn manipulation of Lebanon will now become outright control.

No one is to blame but the Lebanese people themselves. They are self imposed slaves. They beg and idolise their leaders that rape and spit on them, and then they thank them because they are their religious sectarian bosses!

Hey assteez Nabeeh please stand up and let that gas come out you can't make that position you've been occupying for all these years any stinkier.

Now the thieves will circle and will steal the oil and gas revenues before even anything is extracted!
Let us dig for patriotic,decent and honest leadership before anything else.

If we wait long enough Israel will do horizontal drilling from the zone and empty our wells. By the time we have our house in order the wells will be dry. Wake up people, throw away all the politicians and replace them with start fresh, educated and patriotic Lebanese.

Can be good news for Lebanon. You need to topple the thieves.

Om fot naaaaaaaaam, seeer 7laaaaaaam innnu baladna saaret balad !!!!!!!!

If so many of you Lebanese are against your self serving politicians, get rid of them. It is time surely that all those civil war bosses and their families were changed out and fresh blood put in (ideally not US, Iranian, Syrian or Saudi stooges; but I realise that is a tall dream world). The suggestin above that Hariri is more honest then the rest is a bit odd! As an outsider looking in, the Hariri family seems to have profited more than most from 'helping' Lebanon.

I already figured we had the regions greatest gas wealth ...look at how much gas comes out from the politics and political sectarian whining, pass the antacids please :)
