Geagea: March 14 Won't Sign Constitutional Concession at Any Cost
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea stressed that political assassinations will fail in coercing the March 14 camp to back down from its positions on dialogue and the formation of a new government, reported al-Joumhouria newspaper on Saturday.
He told the daily: “We will not sign any constitutional concession regardless of the cost.”
“We will not provide cover to any government that includes Hizbullah and that will place Lebanon in a confrontation with the Arab and international communities,” he added.
“We will only accept dialogue when the party announces a schedule to its handing over of its arms to the state,” continued Geagea.
“We will not allow the return of civil or the return of Syrian hegemony over Lebanon,” stressed the LF chief.
Moreover, he said that a “political camp in crisis would resort to killing and the elimination of the other.”
Geagea had held talks on Friday with a March 14 delegation on the latest developments in Lebanon.
The delegation announced after the talks that the period after the assassination of former Finance Minister Mohammed Shatah will be nothing like the period that preceded it.
On December 27, Shatah, his bodyguard Tareq Bader and six other people were killed in a powerful car bombing in the Starco area in downtown Beirut.
The March 14 camp blamed the attack on Hizbullah and the Syrian regime. Both parties have dismissed the allegations as politically motivated.

Way to go Geagea. HA does not understand win win and the principle of making concessions, it only understands confrontation and force.

Geagea and March 14 made a mistake by agreeing to the Doha accord to spare lives and achieve a false sense of security. HA reneged on all accords, agreements, and understandings. It is purely a sectarian terror group built around hatred and venom. HA only understands force and until its opponents understand this mentality, there is no salvage for Lebanon. You do not reason with a terrorist. You form and train a counter terror group to eradicate it.

Well at least M14 is finally revealing their real position instead of pretending to negotiate.
And as everyone knows that the M14 position is ludicrous under current circumstances.
04 January 2014, 11:46

I do not get it:
- instead of pretending to negotiate?
m14 never pretended to negotiate, rather it is m8 who has always pretended to negotiate then do against what they gave their word they would not do!

M14 first said it would negotiate if HA soldiers left Syria ... That then changed to HA giving up all its arms before M14 would negotiate.
At every turn M14 demands became increasingly adamant while M8 has changed from an 8-8-8 demand to a 9-9-6 demand giving M14 the veto.

just like hezbis saying they d disarm when israel gets out of lebanon and now they ll disarm when israel is liberated, like hezbis saying they d never use they weapons inside lebanon... LOL

"M14 it's not in condition to negotiate"
then southern just take the power as M14 is insignificant? what is missing? your lack of courage? your fear? your cowardice? LOL
04 January 2014, 13:09
108
see guys, you are short sighted or willing to see what you want to see!
negotiating with m8 leads to nothing: when you negotiate with someone who has a gun on the table, this is not negotiation anymore.
then again, when you negotiate with someone who does not respect his word, then the negotiations are useless.
so basically there is no need for negotiating with hizbushaitan :)
04 January 2014, 11:56

so if M8 are so "abaday" as they pretend they are, then just let them take the gvt and we ll see how incompetent they are...
anyway with or without a gvt they just block it if the laws do not please them or take to the streets with their weapons...
they do not believe in the state if the state goes against their interets!!!!
so M14 just let them take the gvt and they will not last long....

Excellent idea ... at least worth a try ... too bad you will be pilloried by your companions for even suggesting it ...
This entire charade by M14 has been to give the appearance of moderation when in fact their goal has always been to throw Lebanon into chaos.
04 January 2014, 12:11
115
no, lebanon is already in chaos thanks to your iranian militia... do not twist the facts... and assume your responsibilities, ok?

@ peace
There is much that can be done such as moving on the oil and gas file to get revenues coming in but M14 and Mikati block this positive development.
04 January 2014, 12:19
84
sure because we know that the oil file is part of a bigger geostrategic plan involving russia iran syria on one side and GCC turkey on the other....
it is not a demand by M8 to improve lebanese revenues but to fulfill their interests and those of iran and syria...nothing lebanese here as M8 tries to picture it! LOL

I have no idea what you are trying to say ... the fact is the oil and gas contracts are ready to be signed and M14 with Mikati obstructs. Revenues would go straight into the treasury and would be accounted for ...
04 January 2014, 13:06

no revenues will improve the basic citizen's welfare and you know it... all is just to satisfy the greed of iran and syria... nothing to do with lebanese....

Geagea..... more and more.... due to..... Saudi....backward..... seats.... inciting.... women driving.... KSA..... airport road.... Rouhani.... Iran.... Sunnis..... resistance..... and victory!

As long as his Saudi checks don't bounce Geagea is good to go ... Such a weasel ...
04 January 2014, 13:07

just like aoun who killed christians.... no? but aoun was never trialed...; that is the difference...

good and these insults at a leader will reach where?
would you like it if someone does the same to your nasrallah for instance?
these are useless comments that just increase tensions.
04 January 2014, 14:17

@geha, as far as i remember that is all you have been doing on this site. Insulting Hezb and their leaders. So drop your hypocrisy already, and stop crying when people say facts about your beloved idols.
04 January 2014, 14:11
93
If hizbullah doesn't send the 5 wanted men to the STL for their trial and if Nusrallah doesn't confess his crimes there will be civil unrest and troubles. when of one side get killed for 9 straight years and the terrorists remain unpunished what do you expect? of course, some extremists working for the enemy may victimize themselves, but it's ridiculous.

Western propaganda outleb, so you believe Saudi & Bandr, Israel etc. To be your saviors? Makes no sense, you should think about the future, and not the past.

If i recall it right, it was the Syrian army who saved the Falangists, when they were close to extinction. So you owe them your lives.

This guy Geagea, had to rot in the Syrian jail for years, now he is blinded by revenge, and would even see his own people killed, just to satisfy himself against Syria, Hezb etc.

@Texas They are not loyal to a Saudi backed President such as Sulaiman, whom ordered the attack on Syrian airplanes. I can assure you, that we would be seeing massive defections if the LAF command started following Saudi footsteps.
04 January 2014, 16:49

LAF is should be loyal to Lebanon only, and it doesn't help Lebanese anything, when they start firing upon the ones fighting our enemy. The takfiris.
04 January 2014, 16:51

You may call it disgusting or whatever you want, but it is a true fact texas. LAF has to remain neutral, or else it will be split

What I am about to say might well displease many, but all the same here it is: Geagea it's clear is blamed for many things, yet in most ways he is only the true reflection of most Lebanese politicians. In the late 80s, Geagea and Aoun contributed to the division of the Christians of Lebanon in the first instance, and ultimately of all the Lebanese, making Syrian occupation finally a reality. This time around however, the same dynamics are affecting Lebanon, Sayed Hassan and Saad Hariri are not contributing to dividing Lebanon's Muslims in the first instance, and ultimately all the Lebanese. This time however I fear for whom will come to occupy us. In 1975, the US wanted to replace us with the Palestinian refugee, this time though the Syrian refugee and the Palestinian refugee could compete to replace us. Laugh NOT, our predicament as Lebanese has never been so bad. We no longer have real men to lead anymore.
04 January 2014, 17:30

@Phoenix, the Syrian refugees will go back to Syria, when the war overthere is finished. Now we just have to purge Lebanon of the takfiri threat, and then we can handle all the other problems.
04 January 2014, 18:18

Mystic my good brother, regarding the war in Syria, I am afraid that it could drag for a long time, a lot longer than most of us could anticipate. If this war was between the Syrian themselves alone, then one might say that the outcome could be predicted one way or the other, but with almost everyone in the pot now, it does worry a lot. Now about Hariri being out changes little, as you rightly pointed out, Lebanon is sectarian and the latest jockeying for position between him and Sayed Hassan only worsen our lot as Lebanese. To compound matters further, politicians of all sides keep pushing the ante up, to the point where people can no longer tolerate each other.

*** Correction***....Sayed Hassan and Saad Hariri are contributing to dividing Lebanon's Muslims......***

How am i a traitor? I'm not the one that supported the real atrocities comitted by Israel during the civil war and onwards. Most of the M14 supported them against Hezb. So if you call me a traitor, then you are indeed a hypocrit.
04 January 2014, 19:09

anony, ofcourse all LAF soldiers are patriotic, but i assure you, if they find out they have been used for Saudi interests, and no, i have relatives/friends that told me this would happen, because that would be to fight against the interests of Lebanon, and all free people.
They will never bow down to Saudi and protect takfiris against the Syrians. So whatever officers you know, which i doubt, have not made themselves clear on who their really enemies are. Nobody is threatening anyone, if this continued to happen, they would simple leave the army themselves, but fear not guys.
This wont repeat, and Syria is still defending us from the takfirs by bombing Arsal thank you.

LAF consists of all Lebanese, it is our army, but if they start fighting against brothers such as Syrian Arab Army, then they will loose morale and defect. Simple as that

04 January 2014, 19:14

anony you shouldn't worry so much about the defections, you should instead worry about the cause that could make them defect. Such as illegally attacking Syrian airplanes retaliating against takfiris on our side of the border.

and the problem is that we gave them enough credit as human beings in 2006 and gave them shelter. they repaid our kindness with 7 ayyar and 2011 coup of the government. never again will we trust them.
