March 14 Says Support for Army Indisputable, Slams Aoun
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
March 14 alliance’s general-secretariat coordinator Fares Soaid accused Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun of staging Monday’s protests in Sarba to compensate the public loss in the northern Koura district by-elections.
“Several political parties led by the FPM are trying to show that there is a sect that supports the army and another that doesn’t… A sect with the oppressor and another with the oppressed,” Soaid told An Nahar newspaper on Tuesday.
The March 14 official called on Army Commander General Jean Qahwaji to beware of the attempts to involve the military institution in a dangerous approach.
On Monday, several “army supporters” blocked Sarba highway in both directions to protest the re-detention of the three officers who were arrested in the killing of Sheikh Ahmed Abdul Wahed and his companion Mohammed Merheb.
Protesters demanded the immediate release of the officers.
“The moving protests on Monday night must have been supported by some security agencies affiliated with the military institution,” Soaid said.
“This is very dangerous,” he told the daily.
Soaid demanded the army leadership not to allow “those who are politically bankrupted” of using the army as a cover for their loss.
“The March 14 forces support the Lebanese army, the legitimate institutions and the state… The security chaos is fabricated and foreshadows a dangerous sedition endeavors in the country,” he added.
On Saturday, the military magistrate issued arrest warrants against the three army officers, who were previously released, in the case of the killing of the Sunni Sheikhs at Akkar district’s Kweikhat army checkpoint in May.

Aoun is the one who left his officers and soldiers to be killed by his current allies whilst he fled to france.

everybody supports the army when it does what it is supposed to be doing, i.e. protect our borders.
however when rogue officers shoot down a person with over 60 bullets most of them to the head, it is the least that there is a real investigation in this incident.

my posts are there, so show us the proof.
my comments were triggered by one of your comments justifying the army cannot reply to syrian fire. so yes in that case, why do we need them?

you are an fpm traitor, under the orders of your syrian masters, so please do not even try to portray yourself as a lebanese patriot as you are not.

how do you explain a body riddled with 60 bullets most of them in the head, while the shiite officer had a previous running with that person a while back?
why not shoot the tires of the vehicle? do you know it was confirmed that not a single shot was fired from the bodyguards?
as well I am sure you know this guy is a political figure, not just a sheikh.
our army is not supposed to be executing the orders of the syrian regime, executing people against that regime, just because they ordered him dead.

Geha stop getting your info from idiotic gossip. We all saw the car on TV, there so very few bullets in it. we all saw that the fugitive had guns and narcotics in his car and we all know that the "Kawmy" was shaving a ceremony on that same day and the weapons smuggling was forbidden so the 3 officers did their job and tried to stop a thug from running away, unfortunate the thug was a Sheikh, that doesn't make him irreproachable.

tell us then what happened, and I might show you the official documents about this matter :)
go play in your corner, and if your ministers were able to show a shred of evidence of the contrary (or those of hizbushaitan for that matter) your cabinet would not have voted for a continuation of the investigations.

yalla instead of saying bullshit show us documents, we have already seen on TV the weapons they were smuggling so...

An army checkpoint is "an army checkpoint" and people must adhere to the rules of stopping when asked to do so, no matter who you are or who covers you, whether a sheikh, a priest or other.
In these times full of tension, some reactions may be exagerated, but those who shot are not to blame, nor should they be jailed. Seems you forgot Nahr-El-Bared and what those who belonged to the same political line as the 2 dead sheikhs did with the army!!!
Be rational and admit the reality.

Your story sounds good for a hollywood movie. I suggest you get it registered and copyrighted, unless you stole it from Future tv. In any case I'm sure you're happy about the release of the Palestinian terrorists today, while honest soldiers are in jail, since this is what your Saudi paymasters want.

irrational replies is a sign of stupidity, would suggest you avoid them:)
these are facts you cannot deny, unless you have a different version of what happened, then please share them.

What does it say about you and your comment? ....
and who are you to judge a patriot lebanese? you the traitor to lebanon under the orders of your syrian masters.

The M14 criminals were asking for the army withdrawal of Aaakar long before the Kweikhat incident, Khaled el daher and Merehbi from Future, Wehbi katicha (the Lebanese army dishonorable discharged general) from LF...So it’s not news that M14 supports the Salafis against the Lebanese Army. Geagea said it in public and on TV : T1: Falyahkum el 2ekhwan. T2: the Lebanese Army is a legalized murderer.
So no matter what Syrian product Souaid says he can’t pretend to like the Lebanese Army while his masters are attacking it constantly.

yes we are against the army being a cover for hizbushaitan thugs to roam the north freely arresting people on behalf of the syrian regime.
we are for our army to do what they are there for: protect our borders.

FT I wonder how everybody always backs the army but never wonder why the army backs HA. They think it has to do with majority of Shiite in the army but never stop to scratch their heads for a moment and see it is all due to the fact that both the army and HA have one common goal: protecting their country.

applepie....get your facts right....yes the army's goal is indeed to protect the country BUT NOT HA. They would sell our country out on a snap of the fingers......that is if Iran instructs them. Wake up!

Just leave Akkar alone and concentrate on your own dump. I wonder if the army would shoot at a shia shiekh. Aslan are there any checkpoints in shia towns? You bunch of hypocrites - your twisted approach to politics has finally started to bite you back in the ass, and what happened in koura is the biggest proof.
