Aoun Says 'More than Guaranteed' Hizbullah Won't Turn Its Arms Inwards
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
President Michel Aoun has stressed that Hizbullah's weapons “do not contradict with the State,” noting that it is “more than guaranteed” that Hizbullah will not “turn its arms inwards.”
“As long as there is Israeli-occupied land and as long as the army is not strong enough to fight Israel, we sense that there is a need for the presence of the resistance's arms so that they complete the army's weapons,” Aoun said in an interview on the Egyptian TV channel CBC.
“Hizbullah are the residents of the South and are among the Lebanese citizens whose land was occupied and part of the land is still occupied,” the president noted, emphasizing that “certainly Hizbullah's arms do not contradict with the State and are an essential component of the means to defend Lebanon.”
Aoun added: “We have a land occupied by Israel and when Israel usurps certain territory, it would be difficult to recapture it. This is how we must view Hizbullah's weapons.”
“It is more than guaranteed that Hizbullah will not turn its arms inwards,” the president reassured.

Thank you so much general Aoun for your verbal guarantees the terrorist iranian militia will not turn its arms inwards. May 2008 is just a mirage and never happened.
That is how you run a country, that is how you build institutions, that is how you assure citizens: your words and only your empty words.

I do not support him but he is the legally elected president of Lebanon. Guess what, I am not invading Beirut if I disagree with a decision of the government because that is treason. So in addition to being a liar, you and your camp are traitors because you have no compunction about committing treason which you have done before

1)they have no need anymore to point their criminal weapons inwards; they have a president who is doing everything they want.
2)the army is not strong enough to fight Israel, we sense that there is a need for the presence of the resistance's arms so that they complete the army's weapons,”
Is your resistance fighting Israel or has it for the last 10 or so years or is it fighting Iran's sectarian wars in Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Bahrain.
3)“certainly Hizbullah's arms do not contradict with the State and are an essential component of the means to defend Lebanon.”
If hezbollah's weapons do not contradict with the state, then it means you are confirming the Lebanese state is actively engaged in sectarian wars in the Arab world by aiding and assisting a militia that is branded a terrorist organization by the civilized world.

Do I need to explain further why I have the utmost respect and admiration for general aoun who is now president?
Do I need to be challenged and accused of misplacing my confidence in the president of the republic?
I sure hope not.

"as long as the army is not strong enough to fight Israel, we sense that there is a need for the presence of the resistance's arms so that they complete the army's weapons,” Aoun said.
If you are serious about building a State, have your ally hezbollah hand over its weapons to the "not strong enough" Lebanese Army and make it strong.
Stop making excuses and justifying the presence of a sectarian militia on Lebanese soil; a militia whose illegal arms made you president.

lol @justin
No, that wouldn't do it for the brave General. He would rather have a sectarian militia made of up of one sect, paid by Iran, implementing Iran's agenda and chanting labayka ya hussain instead of a strong and well armed LAF chanting Labayka Ya Libnan.

lol the heretic is giving lessons in diplomatic etiquette;)
why do you then refer to Hariri as Hariri and not Mr. Prime Minister Hariri? Is it because you are a shia sectarian iranian who happened to rent an apartment in dahieh?

Hariri is indeed Prime Minister of Lebanon, that is accepted.
Better him than Rifi that you so much long for.
Whats wrong with my apartment, have you been there?
Or are you want of those cowards that closes their mouths and looks away when driving through Da7ieh to/from the Airport?

aoun said hezbollah is beyond the state's capabilities. How can he be assured and assure the Lebanese an entity that is stronger than the state will keep its promises?
The Doha accord gave the hezbollah led coalition veto power by giving them one third in the hariri government with a guarantee they will not resign. While Hariri was in Washington, Hezbollah issued orders to its cronies in the government and they all resigned at the same time.
Now Aoun wants us to buy his delusions;)

After a positive start, Aoun showed his truth to be a weak puppet of Hizbollah, an insult to all freedom loving and everyone believing in sovereignty, democracy and independence. Hizbollah is nothing but Lebanese Bazij working for Iranian Junta interests. Aoun is leaving Lebanon victims of Assad and Iranaian dictators and causing irreparable harm for generations to come; instead of using this historic opportunity and international support to seek sovereignty and independence. What a sad day for Lebanon!
