Gemayel Criticizes Charbel for Preferring that Security Forces Remain ‘Blind and Mute’
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Phalange party leader Amin Gemayel slammed Interior Minister Marwan Charbel on Saturday for denying that an assassination attempt against his son MP Sami Gemayel had been thwarted.
In remarks to Voice of Lebanon radio station (100.5), Gemayel said: “I was shocked when I heard the remarks of the interior minister.”
“He almost made the official information available by the security forces in his ministry look absurd,” the Phalange chief mocked. “The information is linked to an immediate threat of murder and is linked to the life of a citizen no matter who he is.”
His remarks came a day after Charbel played down the alleged assassination attempt, telling reporters that Sami Gemayel was only warned that “something could happen.”
“It is our duty to warn political personalities and leaderships to take precautions,” he said.
The news about the alleged murder attempt came after Amin and Sami Gemayel announced that Internal Security Forces Intelligence Branch chief Col. Wissam al-Hassan warned the lawmaker not to go to a dinner that he had been planning to attend.
In his remarks to VDL, the Phalange leader slammed Charbel but thanked the security agencies for their “official and humanitarian duties” and for seeking to “limit a bloodshed and saving the country from a disaster whose consequences are unknown.”
“It seems that the interior minister forgot that I lost my eldest son Pierre in similar circumstances,” he said. “Would he have preferred for security agencies to remain blind and mute?” Gemayel wondered.
Pierre Gemayel, who was then industry minister, was killed on Nov. 21, 2006 by gunmen who approached his car and shot him in broad daylight in New Jdeideh.

security forces will stay "blind" because they have nothing to see and "mute" because they have nothing to say.
because no one wish to kill nobody, the son of nobody and member of 2 man party.

Someone should kick this man's butt real good for making such non sensical comments: from the causes of the Antelias blast (personal dispute), to silencing the secret forces when they have to alert a targeted politicien, to obstructing (in fact being accomplices!) the delivery of key cell data to those who can uncover and prevent political assassinations under the pretense of protecting privacy!! Where was privacy when the Syrian opponents were being handed over to their butchers in Syria, when the criminals controlled every data (from airport to cell conversation , to mouvements monitoring....)to track and huntdown their political opponents: Gebran Tueyni. Pierre Gemayel, May Chidiac, Marwan Hamade,. etc...

By denying these attempts, I strongly believe that Charbel is protecting the Ouwets.

I am usually not a Big fan of Amin Gemayel or the kataeb, but I think there is no need to comment in this hateful manner jabalamel. Given that the man already lost a son, his concern is normal. If not as a politician, at least as a father.
It is a shame that the we Lebanese have lost all our values and good will for the sake of politicians.

All of you fighting with each others instead of reading the real picture!!! typical Lebanese People!
Samy Gemayel, should be an IDOL for all of you, a man that asks youngsters their to follow instead of following parties (even his), speaks loud without (NICK NAMES) not fearing death, and fighting to have the right to speak the truth! but it`s not about Gemayel Here, it is about Charbel taking commands from Hizbullah! and maybe threatened as well!
the real picture is that this countey is not ours anymore! and will never be... shame on all people and politics, no one deserves this country

2012 - The leaders making the most sense, the ones speaking logically are not the one's in control of the government. Although, they were the the ones elected to it. A far cry from what comes out of the mouths of those in control of the government.
In the last month Aoun has proven himself to be a total madman with his statements. We should feel sorry for this poor man, his own people should be taking better care of him. Hopefully, in the coming year the Honorable Energy Minister (his Beloved Step Thieve, I mean stepson) can "appropriate" enough funds from his budget, to send El General to a luxurious retirement home on the coast of France.
More to come-

2012 part 2
I hear we are once again about to be enlightened by the One & Only... drum rolls please and remember to bow, they carry weapons, Mr Resistance himself will soon speak to the masses. Does any one know if these speeches will be telecast from his nest deep under the sewers of Lebanon or is he going to claw his way up to the world? (It would be a good idea if the people in charge of pest control would put out a few extra Rat traps, just incase he surfaces.) What will his words consists of...... Blah, Filthy Zionist, Blah... Blah, all Lebanese who do not obey are traitors, Blah... Blah, terrorist gangs in syria, Blah. Why does he have to make two new speeches to say the same thing he always says. Maybe I judge Big H too Harshly, he probably has no choice but to spit out the same old crap. After all his only real duty is to his masters in Iran!
