Aoun Calls on Arch-Foes to Swiftly Reach Settlement over Cabinet's Policy Statement
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun stressed on Wednesday that the political arch-foes should swiftly draft the cabinet's policy statement, warning of any delay.
“The government has to start preparing for the upcoming presidential elections as soon as possible,” Aoun said in comments published in As Safir newspaper.
He warned the rival parties of the increasing international tension, which would have a negative impact on Lebanon if politicians failed to seize the opportunity to find common ground over the cabinet's policy statement “before it is too late.”
“We should swiftly agree on a settlement before the international and regional sniper gunshots hit us,” Aoun pointed out.
On Tuesday, the panel drafting the ministerial policy statement failed during its fifth session to reach agreement over the main point of contention.
The rival ministers bickered anew over the Baabda declaration and the resistance-people-army equation.

"He warned the rival parties"… that is nothing new, the pajama general is always warning or accusing… he looks like a mad lunatic, one of his idolizers should tell him that the comb over is not working.

In some ways I do agree with the old man, that we should agree together and stop wasting time, but then, not under his conditions or Hezbollah's. I am very sure, if the parties agree, the old man will raise some new objections, especially if it happens to fall on a Tuesday.

(1). Roar, with all due respects to your views, which from down under seem to get ever more disconnected from the facts on the ground here. Look bro, you are there, I am here, so we cannot keep ignoring facts for the sake of our partisanship for the party. Aoun FYI, is dying for that chair, will sell his own hide for it and everything, even if he had one day left to his life. Bassil though a nice chap, has enriched himself in so short a time to the levels that will dizzy any sane minded individual. His array of very expensive properties will bewilder you, so feel free to make that trip home to ascertain for yourself, star from Batroun Allah yi khalik ya akh coz you will need that good meal in Byblos Jbeil to refill your strength.

(2). Roar. For Aoun, it will be very difficult to become a president, he simply is way too divisive, but for the choir boy, rest assured, he is still minting a lot of cash. He is shrewd, savvy, knows his ways inside the urban jungle, so will and can deceive in every way possible. Now I respect your feelings for them, it's your right and it commands my full respects, but please don't go around so obsessed saying things of our opinions that oppose yours, some things cannot be hidden from public view. You see, we do see too! So stay calm brother, don't fly your lid whenever we criticize the so so obvious.

(1). Ah ya Roar, me, hatred? And why, because I am critical of the old man Aoun, or his party members? or of the side that you sop ardently support? So this is how you determine hatred? Ma3leysh khaye, you will never see this from me. As recently as a a couple of weeks ago, you were all praise for me and my posts, don't stray bro, just remember these posts of very recent, but today, you have started labeling me. Ma3leysh bro, I have my opinion, you have yours, so it remains a free world, say what you wish, let me say what I wish, and life just goes on. I shall continue to post just as I always done, so you know what bro? We are not here to talk of each other, but to talk about the situation that affects us. I can live with that, and I will not follow you in your ways, remember, it's the Phoenix we're talking about.

(2). Then ya Roar, do you think that I am new to my views? I have always criticized where I feel is worth my opinion, irrespective of how you'd feel of me. Masalan, for example, people like FT, Mowaten, Karim, Mystic, and other notable M8 gentlemen, have they ever responded to me in person levels? I know that they do not like several of my posts, but I have yet to see one single one of them take matters to the personal level, unlike you dear brother. They have debated me, they have managed on several occasions to correct me, and I am proud to tell you that on the way, I too learned from them. Ya Roar, if I can give you one advise, at least as your younger brother this time, please grow up and just accept that the world is made up of different people, with different minds. Just a small fraternal nudge from a well meaning person to you.

Roar, of all people you saw bani, he calling me mate? Lah lah lah. No, I never said disrespectful, just that it doesn't need to be taken to the personal level, again, when and where did you see me do this with you, or for that matter with anyone else? I address the issues, the leadership that it pertains to, but never the people that post, I keep it to the issue itself. Of course I'd want you to continue debating me, do remain just as you are, that good hearted person, it's after all a learning process, one aimed at bridging gaps, all I am kindly requesting of you dear brother, is to refrain from name calling, nothing shameful in that. Have a blessed day.
