جلسة تشريعية أولى وُزِّع فيها نص اقتراح قانون ترسيم الحدود البحرية

The majority is working and the dogs are barking .

Apparently, the blast in Dahiyeh was targeting Mughniye's son who is a communications officer in Hizb of Iran.

This is actually the way a government is supposed to act. The Majority proposes bills and the Opposition questions the details, it is from this legislative adversarial process that good public policy is usually developed. The legitimate role of the Opposition to question and hold the Majority accountable is essential to the functioning of a normal stable republic.

When Majority and Opposition are merged in the government, this is not possible. The "unity government" theory of Hezbollah is a formula for no government because there is no one to hold the government accountable to its policy statement or to the People.

The Mikati/Hezbollah coup government, in areas of defense and security already are in violation of their policy statement. However M14 is giving the whole country a lesson in how an opposition works. They are quite vocal.

If Syria had one, they would not have people in the streets being shot at with tank cannon fire.

Though the border demarcation law is very important, it not likely to be resolve anytime soon to allow drilling in the disputed areas. The Governmnet should, however, accelerate the completion of exploration and survey work, and start drilling in the undisputed areas as quickly as possible.

Strategically, the Governmnet should be looking for opportunity to build close ties with China which has emerged as the only real superpower, and should use this opportunity by seeking Chinese oil & gas companies. Perhaps even a security agreement that would have a couple of Chinese aircraft carriers stationed in the region... that should keep Israel at bay!

" The majority is working and the dogs are barking " is what I've been saying since 1990 .

You are delusional Le Phenicien. Here's a tip. Hizbullah may have strong-armed their way into power but you DO NOT own this country. The only work Hizbullah and their puppet Michel Aoun know how to do is to spit venom and drag out country into war.

How bout we demarcate the border with Syria first? Which is a lot more pressing issue and has supposedly been worked on for years now. Oh wait I forgot that members of the new majority think Lebanon is a province of Syria.

How about demarcating borders with Syria, a major arm smuggling route to HizbIran and radical Palestinians? We already had a devastating war because of this undefined border and Syria has still not admitted it is lebanese territory. Doen anyone care in this cabinet about Lebanese sovereignty on all its land?

Unfortunately, the truth is that this government will be more serious that Saad Hariri's.

so ' Le Phénicien ' : vous n'avez pas évolué depuis 1990? voilà un aveux qui fait plaisir à lire!
