Report: Oqab Saqr to Take Part in Monday's Presidential Vote

W460

MP Oqab Saqr, who is close to al-Mustaqbal Movement leader ex-PM Saad Hariri, will arrive in Lebanon on Monday from his self-imposed exile to take part in the presidential election session, LBCI television reported Sunday.

Saqr has been residing in Europe for several years now over security fears related to his fierce opposition to the Syrian regime and accusations that he had played a key role in arming and financing Syrian rebel groups.

Free Patriotic Movement founder MP Michel is poised to be elected president in Monday's session after his nomination received key support from Hariri last week. However, it is not clear whether or not Aoun will be able to garner 86 votes to be elected from the first round of voting.

Should he fail to get 86 votes in the first round, a second round would be immediately held during the same session and 65 votes would be enough for him to be declared president.

He should be given a medal of honor and made a Saint.

في خطبة مسجلة بالفيديو نشرت الخميس، قال زعيم عصائب أهل الحق التي تعد من فصائل الحشد الشعبي إن "ولي دم الإمام الحسين هو الحشد الشعبي"، وأضاف "بهذه العقيدة نقاتل".
وفي وقت سابق هذا الشهر، قال الخزعلي إن ما سماها معركة تحرير الموصل "ستكون انتقاما وثأرا من قتلة الحسين، لأن هؤلاء الأحفاد من أولئك الأجداد".

قتلة الحسين موجودون بيننا أينما التفتنا، ليس في الموصل ولا في كربلاء فقط، إنما هم في كل مكان، ولن ينتهي أجلهم طالما هنالك من يسرق قوت الناس باسم الدين، ويقتل الآخرين باسم الدين، ويخون وطنه باسم الدين.

(الخزعلي: لهذه الأسباب يقاتل الشيعة بمعركة الموصل (شاهد)

"نحن نقاتل قتلة الحسين، هؤلاء القوم هم أحفاد أولئك القوم، مادامت العقيدة هي العقيدة ذاتها، أولئك هواهم وعقيدتهم إعادة حكم بني أمية، كما قال كبيرهم في الشام، هم قالوا".

I doubt he cares, he's sold his soul long ago

.mowaten. I'm not a big poster here but I have been using this site for over 43 years and recently I have been liking your posts, you're the only one informing these deluded ignorants. :)

I know how it pains you to hear this but Lebanon is a sovereign nation and not a Syrian province, Saqr's indictment is in Syria not in Lebanon and your moukhabarat no longer runs the Lebanese judiciary. Saqr has nothing to fear from the Lebanese courts.

Always going where no one else dares

@mowaten
What can one say, another E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T comment. I particularly enjoyed the part where you said "I doubt he cares, he's sold his soul long ago"

Thank you for making this forum lively and vibrant.

Still laughing since January 2015.

Thank you Again and Always

yours

' he's sold his soul long ago'

when nasrallah says his money, his weapons, his salary and everything he owns comes from Iran, it means he has not sold his soul long ago. Just rental ...:)

I respect Mr. Mowaten because he never sells his soul
