Aoun: South Unrest Coincided with Campaign Accusing Hizbullah of Seeking to Wage War with Israel
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun noted on Tuesday that the firing of rockets from Lebanon to Israel coincided with the campaign against Hizbullah accusing it of seeking to launch a war against the Jewish state.
Commenting on his ties with the party, he said: “Political and work incidents happen.”
He made his statements after the Change and Reform bloc’s weekly meeting in Rabieh.
“We have national goals and telecommunications, energy, and water are a necessity for the people,” he added.
Furthermore, he said that drilling for oil in the Mediterranean has also become a necessity.
“We represent the people and we work for them and not for our own personal interests,” the MP stressed.
Asked about the repercussions of the Syrian crisis on Lebanon, the FPM leader replied: “If there are to be any, then they are in Akkar.”
“Whoever is speaking of a buffer zone for the Syrian refugees in Lebanon is achieving it in Lebanon,” Aoun stated.
“I hope all sides would pay attention to this issue,” he said.
On France’s accusations that Syria was behind Friday’s attack against the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon in Tyre, he remarked: “The West has begun resorting to political accusations after 2005 due to the March 14 camp’s strong ties with the French government.”
On Friday, five French soldiers and two civilians were wounded by a powerful roadside bomb that targeted a UNIFIL patrol in the southern coastal city of Tyre.
On Sunday, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe accused Syria of being behind the incident, saying that it employed Hizbullah to carry out the attack.
Syria and Hizbullah have denied the allegations.
In late November, a rocket was fired from southern Lebanon into northern Israel, prompting the Jewish state’s army to warn Beirut to work to prevent similar attacks in the future.

Aoun has national goals with Hezbollah!!!??? has he ever read hezbollah's mission statement? Lebanon does not exist in hezbollah's ideology, only an Islamic republic under the full authority of the "wali alFaqeeh" ie: khamanei...

@mowaten: if you believe that aoun says the Truth then you believe him when
- he said that syria was behind the murder of hariri,
- you believe him when he said that hezb is a terrorist party,
- you believe him when he said that till the assad regime is in place nothing good will come to lebanon,
- you believe him when he asked the US senate for their help against syria,
- then you believe him when he said that syria is only a terrorist country,
- you believe him when he said that syria stole millions of dollars from lebanon
- you believe him when he said that there is no shame in asking the help of the Americans
........
in both cases there is a time when he is lying, so i believe you admire a liar.....

yeah mowaten, the same lame arguments: change his mind?
so suddenly the hezb are no more terrorists? suddenly those who ask the help of the usa are traitors now? he licked the boots of Bush the very close friend of the sionists!! he wasn t a traitor then? those who ask now the help of the usa you treat them as traitors, they are just doing what aoun did... but i guess for him it was all right!
so suddenly syria s regime is the best ever but same family same methods?
after he accused them of having stolen the country and killed thousands?
he changed a 180 degress meaning as i said you are admiring a man who lies to achieve his goals that s all....
come on mowaten, be honest with yourself...
oh by the way these were things he said between 2000 and 2005....and if i give you the context it s even worse accusations against your friends!

"" those who made all the dirty deals and let themselves get corrupted, and we all know who these are.""
yes aoun said it was the syrians who put the corruption system in place he even added that even the most honest politician had to comply or die...
this is not Truth?
he also said that the day the syrians would leave lebanon they would infiltrate it with gangs of islamists to bring chaos to lebanon... and a few months after we had nahr el bared... he wasn t speaking the Truth??
ask about the dirty deeds your friends from M8 made and are still doing...
by the way : if hariri stole billions and is responsible for the huge debt of lebanon why aren t your friends bringing him to jail and indicting him as they are in power... only populist words to make M8 appear clean when we know they ALL participated in the debts....!

anf finally another lie: ""provided them with artillery cover when they attacked Aoun for instance,""
may i remind you that hafez el assad promised aoun to be president and aoun collaborated with them but the day assad changed his mind aoun got mad and launched "the liberation war" which was in fact a revenge war against syria which broke its promise...
