Report: Berri won't call for vote soon, rejects Bkirki list of candidates
The atmosphere of the presidential deliberations does not indicate that Speaker Nabih Berri will call for a presidential election session in the near future and “the Lebanese will likely bid farewell to the month of May without seeing a president in the Baabda Palace,” a media report said.
“Berri has received from Bkirki a list containing a host of (presidential) candidates in order to pick three of them so that the Maronite church can promote them with the other parliamentary blocs ahead of taking the names to parliament,” Annahar newspaper reported.
But Berri rejected the list, noting that his candidate is Suleiman Franjieh and that Washington and Riyadh have not vetoed his nomination, the daily added.

Enough is enough! Divide the country and make Berri Don Corleon king of Hizbollastan. The duo and their useful idiots are 99% responsible for where we are today. They may sell their brainless followers imaginary victories, but they can't hide from history. We will hire the best international financial firms to do a full accounting of the hundreds of billions the actions of this duo has costed Lebanon and caused the destruction of our economy, democracy, sovereignty, institutions and dignity.

So how come your beloved war criminal geagea hasen't demanded this partion you keep ranting about? Also, how come you never condemn the LF raping druze women with glass bottles or any other of their terrorists crimes? You call the other side political maffia while supporting a war criminal. Hypocrite with double standards who conventiently look the other way when the criminal is one of those you support. What did Jesus say about such hypocrisy?

Yanni. No he is not the biggest idiot. And he is right. The only solution is partition. Shias want to have a medieval party choosing presidents and running their country to fulfill the agenda of Iran, which is a failed nation. The rest of Lebanese want a normal nation.
The party of death and weapons has attacked Lebanese and invaded Beirut. It has lost all legitimacy in doing so and is now our occupying force. When we say partition, we mean independance from the party of death and weapons.

What kind of question is that? Sunnis don't want the so called lebanese forces because they remember the terrorism that LF and their allies committed against the sunnis. The shia don't want the so called lebanese forces because its a terrorist party. The druze don't want the so called lebanese forces, they remember the glass bottle rapes that you guys committed against druze women and girls. The marada maronites don't want the so called lebanese forces after all the massacres the so called LF committed against them. The FPM maronites aren't happy with the so called LF either. The orthodox don't tend to like the so called LF for various reasons such as Jesus not condoning the rapes and massacres that the so called LF committed in his name.
