It is the one that protected us on May 7th, the one that stood back while hezbollah put the 80 so called isis on air conditioned buses, the one that does not allow 150 illegal border crossings used for smuggling and spreading terror, the one that controls the port and airport.

or the one that holds weekly coordination meetings with Wafiq Safa, an internationally recognized terrorist.
