Geagea Says Aoun Attacking LF to Shift Attention from His Ministers 'Catastrophic Failure'
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea on Monday accused Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun of waging a “campaign” against him personally and his party because of “the LF’s central role at the domestic and regional levels,” and to “deviate attention from his ministerial team’s catastrophic failure.”
“The other camp’s stances on Bkirki and the patriarch are well-known by all the Lebanese, as it has never cared for (Bkirki), especially that it has a lot of irreligious people among its ranks,” Geagea said in an interview with the privately-owned Central News Agency.
Geagea accused Aoun of “waging wars” against Bkirki and former Maronite patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir and of using “the most terrible, insolent and inappropriate language.”
The LF leader boasted that “the real pro-church camp in the Christian society has always been and will always be the Lebanese Forces.”
“Therefore, it is very clear that Bkirki is not the motive and reason behind the campaign waged by this camp against the LF,” Geagea added.
He attributed the attacks to “the growing influence of the LF at the Arab and international levels, especially during the last months, and the opinion poll results at the Christian level, which General Aoun cannot apparently digest given the fact that they clearly highlight the LF’s notable progress and the decline in the FPM’s popularity.”
Another reason behind the alleged campaign, Geagea said, was “their catastrophic failure in shouldering their ministerial responsibilities and the attempt to deviate attention from their botched achievements and rampant corruption, as the FPM ministers are in charge of all the key ministries, while the social and living conditions have all declined.”
“We will voice our opinion every time we find that necessary, especially if there is harm against Bkirki,” Geagea added.
Asked about the Maronite summit scheduled for April 3, Geagea said: “I believe that the meeting will be called off amid this tense atmosphere, which is being clearly reflected by the other camp’s media outlets.”

The orange camp has been a failure and a disgrace. All they have done is weaken the Christians and M14 in general, and let the evil Hezz have a leg up in Lebanon. Who votes for these fools?

So focus on what you think you know and tell us: when was the last time the "ASSad" regime fell according to your known and never-ending hallucinations considering that according to you and Dr. Areta Hableh, the Assad regime has been falling over 4728 times since 2005?

Yep, the LF's 5 MPs really play a central role at the domestic and regional levels. LOL.

Aoun attack you and you attack the Patriarch AlRai and goes on in circle. dude get a life and resign the politics, let some one take your seat for better political future for the LF. Enough for Lebanese of these war criminals leadership cover of bad illusions, it will make not any different from the Zionist regime, Syrian regime, Hezbollah and Mad Aounistreform.

Geagea's problem is with himself, his low self-esteem and his miserable failures. Trying to shift the blame on another unblemished leader will not change things a bit. One with a history of failures and collaboration with every enemy of Lebanon is beyond rehabilitation. The same applies to the other scum bag Walid Jumblat.

I wonder who are you referring to by "unblemished leader"??? if you are referring to Claoun ... then you are either an idiot or an idiot (will let you decide).
That leader left his post .. .ran away ... kept cursing Syria in international assemblies ... came back to Leb after M14 made that possible ... then pulled a "Jumblat" on them and started praising Syrian regime (the same that executed his officers and tortured his supporters) and appointed his relatives in key positions (what qualifications does his puppy Basisl have?) and betrayed his closest allies and you dare say Unblemished??? U deserve him to lead u to hell ... just dont take all the Lebanese with you

M14 did make that possible but it was then led by Aoun might I remind you sir. Also the FPM Struggle to free Lebanon was 17 years old meanwhile HArriri and co. where cooperating with Assad to rob the country. LF where busy frying their leader remember "bara2a bara2a" and the gemayel regaining their party so it was just the FPM and the Ahrar

It seems your forgot the "Aoun Reje3" slogans all over Lebanon that you were busy writing .. 2ata3to el spray paints men el balad ... w ma kento tsad2o tousalo 3a Nahr el Kalb to express your "Freedom" and Taratatataaa ... It seems I need to remind you that Aoun never led the M14 ... that's what made him leave as he thinks in his small world that he is leader of everything. So he moved to M8 and he now thinks he leads the christians of Lebanon ... looooool .... I have to borrow the word of Jabal Habal: U GUYS ARE HALLUCINATING

Enjoy water and electricity at what price? 1/ if we wanted, we'd have electricity 24/7 tomorrow if we wanted to import the required amount at a price. 2/ why pay a high price whilst the shia steals it and go unpunished? If this issue can't be adressed by the current governement which represents those people, then I'd rather stay in the dark....
Since nobody can fix the problems, i beleive it's time to from a governement of technocrats, just as it is in Italy... that would dissociate itself from the two sides... but then, we'd have to apply the law and punish thieves.

Ya Flame, when I read your comment I wonder where you come from. You obviously don't understand most Lebanese. When will you understand that WE don't care about America, Turkey, Russia or China? You're the sick one! The contract can go to aliens from Venus, we don't give a damn as long as we get the best deal. But it isn't in the general interest to move on with such a plan until the related problem(s) get solved. The Shia are in power, let them deal with the dossier of electricity theft that involves their community. You don't build a skyscraper on crumbling land. This issue has -MUST- be addressed. We'll gladly give Bassil the green light to sign it if this is solved. Don't you think this could have been done decades ago? It could, Lebanon always had the money (or the opportunity to borrow it) to complete this project but everything has a price. We aren't willing to pay for the thieves. if we did, we'd be rewarding them!!!!

prime u surely know that all plan to solve the EDL problem where sabotaged by Rafic Harriri, remember the late Georges Frem, the aim was to bankrupt this sector and then buy it (just like he did with Solidere) plus again it's not the Shiaa only who refrain from paying it's also the Sunnis and the druzen and even some Christians (read EDL report on that) and just look at the KAbbani mediatized issue

Geha got it spot on!
You guys should at least have some dignity and respect to your selves. How do you accept a lunatic flip-flopping, low lift coward logic (or none of it) is mind bugling.

Stop the BS. Naharnet doesn't do such things, however, the al-manar website does!

What would happen to the administration of public services in Lebanon if a census was taken, parliamentary seats assigned by person, not by religion, new elections held, and a government put in place which everybody could see what it sat on. The present government is floating on a cloud of boasts and threats. All your politicians boast about how powerful they are, but all they do with this power is complain about how other people make trouble for Lebanon. The people who are left out by the Taif Accord have no reason to support the government, but they are the only ones who defend Lebanon. When everybody assumes someone else is in charge, nobody is in charge.

It's a pity that the LF of late Bashir Gemayel are now headed and mislead by the pseudo-hakim! I call this a decadence for all Lebanese and for christians in particular. Geagea is not used to be faced with the naked truth and be humble enough to admit it. He bounces back in a superficial and trivial way! My worry is for his followers who seem to be brainwashed... Although I'm not with the military in power, but so far the FPM stances could only lead to more stability and are the building blocks for a new modern and democratic state. (Please now don't send me smart comments on his son-in-law or his nephew...coz unfortunately you have to play the game sometimes to reach to more noble goalz).

Luckily not all of his follower are blind, actually many of my LF friends and colleagues are now heading for clearer water, they will of course not become FPM but at least they are either Kataeb or Neutral so...let us pray for the rest

You're right Kesrweneh that there is no magical solution with any party in Lebanon today, because they all have agendas they must fulfill, although at various levels of interests. So what is left...as you say... is to pray

Yea they deleted it I realised because I said "impressive" for it...I thought of 'Naharnet' is encouraging freedom of opinion & descent debates, I only see that they keep most of their low manners comments & delete reasonable debates that do not match their opinion...I just wished that Gebran still alive to see this!.

Geagea is too busy travelling around the gulf to gain popularity! I live in Qatar and 2 weeks ago he was here! A dinner was made to honor him and the LFs members were urging the lebanese to fill up the restaurant! What a pity,go please your wife before someone else does!

Just like all Al Nahar groupe, Naharnet belongs to the Harriri family, and as u know they come from the least democratic country in the World and the one with the least freedom of speech:KSA. So it's expected
