Ghosn Criticizes Verbal Attacks Against Army
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Defense Minister Fayez Ghosn slammed on Wednesday verbal attacks on the Lebanese army by certain people he refused to name, stressing that it is the only institute that is able to safeguard the Lebanese people.
“This is the only institute that will guarantee (the security of) the Lebanese and will safeguard them,” Ghosn said in an interview with al-Manar channel.
He urged those who are carrying out strong rhetoric against the army to reconsider their stances.
“We are trying to avoid sedition,” Ghosn said.
He wondered how a Lebanese can call on an uprising against the army.
Last week, Mustaqbal bloc MP Khaled al-Daher accused some members of the army of adopting the same repressive approach as the Syrian security forces in their crackdown against anti-regime protestors.
He cited what he called “hateful and revengeful practices” against Sunni and Christian areas that support March 14 in the north.
Daher also criticized Army chief Gen. Jean Qahwaji, saying he has failed in his command of the army because he did not preserve the military’s dignity when security and military forces came under fire in the town of Lassa and a Maronite cleric was attacked.

Great!
If "the Army is the only institute that will guarantee the security of the Lebanese and will safeguard them”, then what do we need Hezbollah for??

The army is not an institute. It is a college :)
That is if this is the desired meaning. Otherwise it would be an INSTITUTION !

Great
Your success will be the integration of Hezbollah weapons and brigades into the Army .
Then it will be an ALL Lebanon Army for the Lebanese government country and people and not for a regime or a party .
Good luck and good project....
NOTE:
It will pass in the parliament faster the the electrical bill.

Exactly, why the double standard and claims that the Huzbalistan are the protectors? This Army is turning to be the Army of Huzbalistan and Bashar.
get your lies stories straight.

Where was he when the army was being humiliated in Chyiah but Hizbollah thugs? Had they not had the militia arms to support them they would have been kicked in the a.s the way they deserve and faced military court! Where was he when Samer Hanna was murdered?? NO surely he's not not talking of the same army Samir Geagea talks about, but a few traitors, working for the farsis, that have infiltrated the army , that are doing thefilthy job they're paid to do: arrest and hand over to the Syrians the shourafaa'who are demonstrating against the murderous regime in Syria, keep the heat up at bowabet Fatme at the snap of a finger coming from Teheran...No Sir, M14 is not criticising the army but some worms who have infiltrated it. IN the same way that standing against the mafia clique in power is not standing against Syria, rather the very opposite!

Oh really..... where was the army on May 7th? In Bourj Abi Haider? When the Shiite thugs of Hizb blocked the port, the airport, and invaded the streets of Beirut. What a jerk this guy is.......

I opt not to reply to the so called minister's comments. However, he does look disproportionately overweight for a defense minister who should set the example in terms of fitness......LOL

to the traitor:
if you were lebanese, you would know what he meant. you would know the historic role of the army.
but since you are nerd zionist in the information war department, too afraid to defend the zionist entity, and capable only to poop over the forum and comment, you also know what is resistance here for.
they are here to send you a rocket.
