Qaouq Says Lebanon Can't Tolerate 'Anti-Resistance, Anti-Syria' President
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Deputy head of Hizbullah's Executive Council Sheikh Nabil Qaouq declared Sunday that his party is seeking the election of a Lebanese president who is "feared by Israel," stressing that Lebanon cannot tolerate an "anti-resistance" and anti-Syria president.
"Lebanon is on the eve of a major national juncture that concerns every Lebanese, and Hizbullah is very concerned with the course of this presidential election and it is not neutral or a mere spectator,” Qaouq said.
“We are seeking to secure the election of a strong president who is feared by Israel and whom Israel would not want to see in the Baabda Palace,” the Hizbullah official added.
He defined a “strong president” as one who is “the strongest at the national level and whose election would represent a message of firmness and invincibility in the face of Israel and the takfiris.”
Qaouq called on “those betting on the election of an anti-resistance and anti-Syria president” to “cease these bets,” underscoring that “Lebanon does not tolerate such a president and it is not the right arena for foreign dictates and obligations.”
"Israel had bet on international resolutions to weaken the resistance and it failed, and it bet on the March 14 camp -- which had targeted and is still targeting the resistance's arms -- and it has also failed,” Qaouq added.
“After all these futile bets, the resistance today is at the peak of its strength and is living its best days at the political, military and popular levels,” he said.
President Michel Suleiman’s tenure ends on May 25, but the constitutional period to elect a new head of state began on March 25.
On Wednesday, Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea announced a presidential program that focused on “restoring the authority of the state against the proliferation of weapons during a time of regional unrest.”
He is the sole politician to have officially announced his candidacy for the polls, whose first round will be held on April 23.
The election is not expected to be an easy process amid a lack of agreement on a consensual candidate.

Ya qaouk. Your loyalty to syria which is greater than your loyalty to lebanon is your greatest liability. If you did not support Assad's and accept Assad's machiavelic schemes into lebanon, you would have had way more support from Lebanon lovers.

Happy Easter,still pushing your agenda even on this day? Show some respect. I would really be happy if one day, one time you guys used a better argument, than Zionists/Takfiri/KSA/M14 propaganda to justify your pro-Iran/Syrian place in Lebanese society. If you can break beyond these 4 cards you always play I'd first of be impressed you could break beyond your programming and think, secondly you'll need to do better than use those points strictly, just pointing that out.

Yeah Crusher, we all know that the terrorist militia is saving the world from the evil israeli/takfiri/US/West threat... next time you visit Nasrallah's rat hole be sure to give our thanks to him and his masters Assad Jr and the current Ayatollah... also make sure you check under your bed tonight there might be Zionist cannibals hiding there.

Lebanon can not tolerate Hizbollah bankrupting Lebanon after bankrupting the Shia community transforming them into another North Korea. The economic direct and indirect cost of this terrorist organization created, funded and indoctrinated by Iranian radicals is in the hundreds of billions. Instead of the anticipated 6 to 10 percent growth we had negative growth thanks of these Basij. Thousands of businesses have went bankrupt. Practically all multinationals with their good paying jobs have left Lebanon to no return. Hizbollah with its puppets has suffocated the Cedar Revolution hope and caused misery that will plague Lebanon for generations. This is poison to our freedom and democracy and they must pay for the misery and economic ruin they left behind. No hope for Lebanon with this cancer in our midst, these angels of darkness.

Another thing is that there is a story that Syrian Regime are disenchanted with HA and there are reports stating that the three Manar crew were killed by the Regime. Also, HA fighters are not trusting the regime soldiers.... Perhaps HA should pull out of Syria and support Geagea for President.

Cedre I agree with you on this. If you are not with them 100 pct then you are zionist takfiri. I do believe that takfiri are as big of a threat to our existence as anything. I just don't believe if you are against HA weapons than you are takfiri Zionist...

lol @ samy...you hit the nail on the head. These clowns are so paranoid and self important to think everybody is out to get their powerful "resistance." It's mind-boggling all these people who actually believe that the "takfiri-US-Zionist" alliance is consumed with some obsession with Syria. As if Syria is a powerful country that is a threat to anyone! Syria is nothing! If the US really wanted to destroy Syria's government it could be done in 1 week just like it did in Iraq.

popeye to qaouk: Lebanon cannot tolerate anti-state, pro-syria president. The terror party is the biggest impediment to lebanon's health and future.

Lebanon does not equal Hezbollah, so when you say, "Lebanon Can't Tolerate 'Anti-Resistance, Anti-Syria' President", you mean, "Hezbollah cannot tolerate an 'Anti-Resistance, Anti-Syria' President". But Qaouq, Lebanon is not Hezbollah and Hezbollah is not Lebanon. The equation does not work. Qaouq is not a Deputy in Parliament, yet, when he speaks for Hezbollah, the Speaker of Parliament quakes. This is what is wrong with Lebanon. Those with the guns rule those who hold political office.
Lebanon, Lebanon cannot tolerate a president who is not anti-"resistance" and who is not pro-Lebanon.

Happy Easter all,
Qaouq Says Lebanon Can't Tolerate 'Anti-Resistance, Anti-Syria' President, which is what the Ayatollah ordered him to say. Again, since they are not Lebanese, their words are null and void. Please keep this up it's rather entertaining. Lebanon is a LEBANESE state, not governed by Iran or Syria. It's one thing to have diplomatic ties, it's another to let Lebanon be bossed around.

If the Lebanese president is to be "made in Lebanon" as all parties keep saying, including Berri and Nasrallah, Qaouq is an outlier with this Iranian/Syrian Demand. Lebanon is not Syria or Iran either.

Sadly we lebanese pride ourself that that we are the only democracy in the arab world - but are we?
I personally don't think so - there is no such thing as democracy in lebanon and there will never be one unless a genetic modification and a short social and educational evolutionary process takes place. What we have in Lebanon is a social variation in how we people live their lives ( openness and some free press) which we confuse with democracy.
Back to shiish qaoouq, HA has become a party that if a chinese man farted for eating too much Tofu, they blame it on zionists. They have become slaves to this modus operandi and that is how they will be operating for the foreseeable future.
Lebanon is doomed unless a very effective centrist leader emerges and takes away what the M14/M8 has taken as a hostage for a long time.

when is this meaningless squabble going to stop. We need to put Lebanon first and work together on the economic front, not who would destroy what and who would resist what. The resistance as its stands is mainly against the Lebanese not Israel. Whoever thinks otherwise is either blind or stupid. HA wants to dominate Lebanon; if not already dominating it. We need to live together free from arms except in the army's hands and start building a country not spoken about but meaningless nut heads religious personalities from all sides irrespective but by educated people who would make this country go back to economic wealth and provide jobs. HA glorifies wars and arms which is certainly not what Lebanon needs.

Anyone surprised by this announcement? It is in line with HA's so-called politics of "resistance". The exciting part is what surprises lay in wait in parliament next week.

I'm sorry nabil, no such thing as "The Resistance" that became clear to everyone when hassin admitted your Iranian mercenaries fought and died in Bosnia.

“those betting on the election of an anti-resistance and anti-Syria president” to “cease these bets,” underscoring that “Lebanon does not tolerate such a president and it is not the right arena for foreign dictates and obligations.”.... filthy dog go serve your Master Assad in Syria.
It is amazing how a bunch of Terrorist and Traitors are allowed to take over a country. Assad made sure to disarm all Lebanese militia's but kept the Glorious Iranian militia armed and in place to do his bidding.

People that live by the sword will only see the sword. There are so many more important matters than the petty things this guy is talking about. The Lebanese economy is in shambles, the young are immigrating, the old have no insurance, healthcare is a big fiasco and thus guy only sees his toy weapons and how to pick the next fight.
