Why does electing a president mean that parliament elections can occur? What is stopping parliamentary elections now? Parliament's mandate expired 18months ago. All parliamentarians are illegitimate. If parlimarary elections proceed, then the new parliament will have the legitimacy to elect a president and any parliamentarians boycotting the election would be without any popular or legal support!
Enough of these political blackmail and games! Abide by the constitution or let the LAF enforce a military coup for the next 10 years and rid us of this sectarian political cancer!
anonymetexasusa... I acknowledge and I'm thank full for the USA donations to the LAF! If you think they are advanced or heavy modern day weapons than I am embarrassed for you.
Talk apache attack helicopters, surface to air missiles, m1a1 Abram tanks, artilleray or radar systems, then I will agree! But 1960s military equipment are not advanced or modern weapons!
You are missing the point tex. Russia has offered or agreed to provide the LAF with mig29s, mi21 attack helicopters etc etc! Hariri arranged for the migs and then elias murr changed it to the helicopter. What have been recieved? Nothing! Anything advanced or modern, that could threaten the IDF is vetoed! Lebanon will recieved nothing except arms that the IDF can destroy in a blink of the eye. the Leb government cannot buy or recieved for free. Which results in the LAF fighting with me hand behind their back, struggling to hold together a republic being torn apart from every foriegn and regional power.
Ok... Why would the American tax payers give the "moderate" Syrian rebels weapons when it is highly proberbal that it will end up in al nusra (al Qaida) or Isis control?
The Lebanese armed forces is a very professional military that does not allow its weapons to fall into the control of any group or militia! The LAF is internationally respected as a disciplined and effective military force ! Shame on you for claiming otherwise! Veratis1... Are you Lebanese? Serious question that I hope you could answer honestly becoz every comment you ever post on this site is pro Israel!
The government doesn't need every minister but 2/3rds of the ministers to pass. If more than 50% of parliament lose confidence in the cabinet then it must resign! My hope is that all these politicians are removed by a military coup because it's clear they can't be held responsible to do anything except extend their mandate by extension instead of elections!
Irrelevant comment! Nice to see this traitor realize his mistake and hand himself in to save his family the embarrassment. Thanks to the grand mufti for his patriotic positions!
Didn't the justice minister say there is no al nusra or Isis in Lebanon? Who then are holding the Lebanese security forces hostage? Who are the Lebanese negotiating with?
Lebanon's religious leaders are more patriotic and moderate than our politicians! I pray the LAF declares a military coup with the blessing of our religious leaders. 10 years of non sectarian politics! Yes I see the contradiction... But this is Lebanon... and only our religious leaders can help the LAF save us from our self serving, self electing politicians!
