Nasrallah Sees Chance for 'Made in Lebanon' President: Suleiman Lost Moderator Role
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has noted that Lebanese parties can elect a president without being affected by foreign influence, pointing out that President Michel Suleiman's recent remarks have ended his role as a national dialogue moderator.
In the second part of an interview with As Safir newspaper that will be published Tuesday, Nasrallah clarified the reasons that prompted his party to boycott the recent dialogue session, saying Suleiman's “latest stances have made him lose his role as national dialogue moderator.”
Hizbullah had boycotted the March 31 session following a war of words with the president over the so-called army-people-resistance equation.
“The general atmosphere in the country is an atmosphere of holding the presidential vote on time,” Nasrallah told As Safir, adding that the party will back the candidate who can maintain “the higher national interest.”
“The local factors will be influential more than ever regarding the presidential election and therefore an opportunity lies ahead of us to elect a made in Lebanon president,” Hizbullah's leader added.
The constitutional timeframe to elect a successor to Suleiman began on March 25, amid the president's refusal of any extension of his term -- which ends May 25. Until the moment, only Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea has officially nominated himself for the presidency.
Separately, Nasrallah hailed the unprecedented security plan that is being implemented by security forces in the North and the Bekaa following a cabinet decision, stressing that it must be accompanied by “a comprehensive political, economic, social and developmental approach.”
He also underlined the importance of conducting “real reconciliations” between all the political movements and groups, expressing Hizbullah's openness to dialogue.
Commenting on the developments that followed the vote of confidence that was won by Prime Minister Tammam Salam's cabinet, Nasrallah lauded the new government's “productivity” and the reactivation of parliament's work, calling for “completing the administrative appointments.”
Turning to the issue of equipping the Lebanese Army, Hizbullah's secretary-general reiterated his support for any foreign aid “except from Israel.”
"The resistance needs a consolidated and cohesive society and a strong, capable and just state,” added Nasrallah, noting that “the current circumstances are not befitting for searching for means to improve the political system in Lebanon.”

It is very clear that Suleiman is very neutral. He supports HA. He supports resistance against Israel. He supports HA arms in Lebanon.
M14 is against the above. This makes in a moderate, and neutral moderator.
However, he is against HA in foreign wars such as Syria.
This is because he is neutral.
I cannot believe the M8ers that thing this guy is anything but neutral. He even allows the army to be harder on the Sunni sect. What else do you want?
HA went from protecting Shiite shrines, to protecting Lebanese border villages, to all out war with Sunni across Syria.
HA went from Israel resistance to using guns internally. Unbelievable!

Full-of-BS, what is it with all this drivel babble of yours... "economic slaves".... really the west wants Lebanon as an "economic slaves", what a moron you are. The Assad Iranian Axis are the one's with the Glorious militia trying to enslave Lebanon.

"but a strong Lebanon is threatening to that system", what planet are you from?
The only ones that want Lebanon the Way It Is are the Assad clan and the Ayatollahs. They think Lebanon is a Syrian district or the southern tip of the imaginary Iranian crescent. They are the ones that have been and are controlling the situation in Lebanon, they need to keep it in chaos so that they can act as they please.

Full-of-BS... you cal others uneducated? Yet you spew all this West conspiracy garbage, open your eyes it is the Iranian's that have an armed militia in Lebanon not the Saudi's or the West. The militia's actions are that of a criminal mafia with a protection racket.

“latest stances have made him lose his role as national dialogue moderator.”... translation, the President is telling the truth and calling out the militias actions. Most Lebanese political leaders that speak against the Glorious Axis end up loosing their lives.
The Terrorist in Hiding is doing a lot of Telecasting lately.

Can't wait for pro-Saudi Suleiman to leave office and for a real, pro-Lebanese President to replace him.

I am not going into the thick of this topic, too much hatred going on, except to tell you ya Bani Maarouf that it is you that is using multiple accounts and almost no one else. You come rather late in the day and hang about till fairly late. You use several machines, one for each of your several aliases, you post simultanuously, thumb down those you hate and thumb up those you love, yet you still don't realize how dumb you are, each one of your profiles sounds similar, masalan, your love for Geagea pops up sparringly, when you hate the LF so profoundly. What do you call that but a total lack of intelligence, and you know what, only gays behave like you. And look at your unmistakable sectarianism, gal, you're all over the place, shame on you, just hold on to a little dignity, that's all we wish for yourself, if you can, try.

In theory I guess I somehow agree and applaud what the Chief Sayyed is saying. But how credible is his position if H.A. is made by, for and controlled by Iran for Iran's geopolitics in the region?

Not only he wants the President to be a moderator, he must be also a staunch supporter of the wooden formula that includes the resistance.
I also find this by SHN as very ironic (him talking about not being affected by foreign influences)
Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has noted that Lebanese parties can elect a president without being affected by foreign influence

Full-disclosure your words are on point and are articulate indeed - however the hezb, they aren't going anywhere. They struggled for centuries to get the upper hand and they will fight to the death before they lose it. Let it be known...

The president lost his role as a moderator when he called you a liar in a nice way. You sent your ministers to baabda and signed the disassociation policy then your boss Assad requested your help so you treated baabda as another lie of the past such as resistance will only raise its arms against the Israeli.

Nasrallah hails the army for its security plan in the north and bekaa, how about we get close to your southern suburbs and disarm you when we plant checkpoint everywhere in Harte Hrek. At that point the army will be called Israeli or ksa army similar to the president.

Read between the lines. Our new president has not yet been elected, and here Hassan is already threatening him. The rest of the speech is the normal political gibberish.
