Geagea Calls on Faction to Adopt President's Independence Speech as Roadmap
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea called on the rival Lebanese parties to adopt President Michel Suleiman's Independence Day speech as a roadmap to resolve the current crises in light of the Baabda Declaration.
“Salvation can only occur through the formation of an active cabinet that wouldn't be paralyzed, reviving the work of the parliament, the withdrawal from Syria and carrying out the presidential elections on time without any obstruction,” Geagea said in a statement issued by his press office on Saturday.
The Baabda Declaration was approved unanimously during a national dialogue session in June 2012.
It calls for Lebanon to adopt a policy of disassociation from regional developments.
Geagea hailed Suleiman's speech, describing it as “words from a responsible statesman.”
He considered that Suleiman “has put his finger in the wound for the first time by indicating out the glitches and their causes.”
The LF leader also said that the president “made the logic of state dominate all others.”
On the eve of the 70th anniversary of Lebanese independence, Suleiman said in a televised speech from Baabda Palace that “there is no independence when some Lebanese factions disregard national consensus, risk Lebanon's stability and get involved in the fighting in a neighboring country's war.”
He also pointed out that the Lebanese “cannot talk about independence when the state is incapable of imposing its authority on all its territory, end security zones and fight terrorism, unless the nation's security forces have the sole control of arms and supervise defense capabilities.”

This is the first time that Dr. Arreet 7akeh does not offer a roadmap of his own for the rest of us to adopt. I wonder if he got some advice from his brilliant adviser, Dr. Wehbeh Yaqatichi to give his overworking brain a break. wlak akh mennak malla arreet 7akeh bou la2a akh

baabda declaration is only good for M14 as M8 do not care about anything the state declares if it goes against their interests....

“there is no independence when some Lebanese factions disregard national consensus", There is no state when an armed militia dictates foreign & domestic policy. Hizbullah has maid it perfectly clear that Lebanese consensus means nothing to them.

No, he did not pay. He only paid part of the interest. There is still a huge balance due at the guillotine next to Jumblat.

and there you are wrong again. There's no way in the world a mother could give birth to such an evil being.
no-no-no-no, I'm referring to a monster.
How does it feel to be taken to the sewers? It's the path you take with us everyday!
