Gemayel Holds Talks with Hariri in Saudi Arabia

Did sheik Amin have the time to take his son to see his first public beheading?

Suleiman Puts Lebanese-Israeli Oil Dispute at Top of his New York Agenda

Yossi Haddad... Of course you are commenting on this article, it involves your beloved Israel. If it is that simple, than there would be no dispute. Lebanon has already agreed with Cyprus. But Israel is claiming indisputable Lebanese economic zone that the US and U.N. Have agreed is Lebanons. Take any point and whomever's land shore line is closest claims the rights to the economic zone. Your country is trying to steal hundreds of sq. Kilometres of Lebanon's oil.

Empty posturing and fiery speeches like the ones being made by your country because the Palestinians are only asking for the same recognition, from the same international body that created Israel? If anyone has perfected the art of fiery speeches and war mongering over small disputes (providing medical aid and terrorist materials like school books, concrete and diesel)... It's your country, Israel.

Joint Committees Approve Govt.’s Decisions on Electricity Draft Law

Who can take the mustaqbul movement seriously? They have ruled lebanon for almost all of the past 20 years. While they were in government, they never asked for such scrutiny. They spent tens of billions that were unaudited. Even a billion dollars on the hariri investigation... But 1.2 billion for 24/7 electricity and upgrading the electricity infrastructure and they are up in arms, claiming gebran bassil will steal the money. Firsty, who are they to accuse others when they are the most unaccountable party in history. Solidere was to cost 6 billion and ended up costing 30 billion. No accountability. When salm el hoss tried in 2000, to have a Vienna based anti corruption organisation look into the misappropriation of funds, it was hariri's first act as pm in 2001, to cancel it.

Who in Lebanon does not want electricity? Blocking this bill proves they are losers. Did Bassil steal the money when he was telecom minister. They said that reducing the charges would hurt the budget... Did it?

Joint Committees Approve Govt.’s Decisions on Electricity Draft Law

Bassil reduced the mobile phone call rate and income to the Lebanese treasury increased. High speed intrernet is being provided now, after hariri's man in ogero said that they where wanting on modems??!! The mafia scum are now embarrassed, and there followers are using the excuse of non paying Shia or that Israel will destroy any new infrustrucure as an excuse for not needing this electricity bill. Well good luck with that, the next election will be decided between those trying to advance and invest in Lebanon and those constantly impeding all work and dismissing all efforts because hezballah is armed in defence against Israel, while there leader is relaxing at home in Ryahd.

Al-Rahi, Pietton Meet Despite ‘Disappointment’

God bless the batrak! Will France defend the christains in Syria when the Muslim (Sunni extremist) brotherhood takes over Syria? When Syria falls into civil war and the christains are slaughtered like they were after iraq's "liberation", will they step in to defend them? when they chant "alawie bill taboot and massesiehy lil Beirut." will they defend them? I dont think so.... The batrak is also the patriarch of the Maronites and christains in Syria, not just Lebanon. He only asked for peaceful negotiations and giving Assad a chance to implement the reforms that he promised.

This is also the view of the vatican. Accept it and apologise for trying to incite violence!

Sarkozy Urges U.N. to Admit Palestine as Non-Member State

Sarkozy, why waste what ever respect you have allowed France to have left? President De Gualle would be turning in his grave after what you have done to the republic's reputation on the international scene. Why shouldn't Palestine be reconized? Shame on you.

Geagea Speech Saturday to Tackle Conditions of Christians, Latest Developments

The patriot.... In 2005, the m14 allied with Hezbollah and amal in baabda against Aoun. This the reason they won those 12 seats and the majority.The LF, Hezbollah, amal, psp and mustaqbul flags flying united in baabda. Seem to forget that don't we? In 2009, jumblatt's votes gave them the chouf, $500 a vote in tripoli and the rezoning of Zahle to encompass an extra 20,000 Sunni from surrounding villages "won" them that famous election.

Parliament Approves Electricity Draft Law Despite Aoun’s Reservations

Marc and Balad sara2in, the 1.2 billion is not just for generators. If that were the case than yes, 300 million would be enough. It includes upgrades to the power lines, renting tempory generators for immediate boost, dismantling of the old oil fired plants... etc. Dailystar had a good op ed on it and so did Now Lebanon (believe it or not) that was written by a very good, unbiased foreigner, Matt Nash.

Ahead of al-Rahi Trip, U.S. Says Christians Choices Not Limited to Autocracy or Extremism

How does the U.S. Have any intregretie when in comes to protecting the Christians of the middle east? How dare they question the batrack? He is the patriarch of antioch. He is the leader of all Maronites in lebanon and Syria. This is his responsibility. The u.s. Doesn't care about christains, just as they didn't care about them in Iraq as they were slaughtered. Just as they don't care that they have went from a population of 39% to 8% in palestian. The batrak is our voice and representative, not the zionist controlled, U.S of .A!

Ahead of al-Rahi Trip, U.S. Says Christians Choices Not Limited to Autocracy or Extremism

Any attempt to undermine the batrack, will end in a lebanese revolt. This will be very negative to any president hopeful who wishes to win Ohio. Which is more important? The Jew vote or Ohio Lebanese vote?
