Aoun: Official Report on Lebanese-Syrian Border Needed before We Determine Position on Syria
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun demanded on Tuesday a detailed account of the developments along the Lebanese-Syrian border “because developments have started to take a dangerous turn.”
He said after the Change and Reform bloc’s weekly meeting: “An official government report over the border situation should be made for us to take a position from Syria.”
On the March 14 camp’s memorandum to President Michel Suleiman demanding the suspension of agreements between Lebanon and Syria over the latter’s violation of Lebanese territory, Aoun remarked: “Every once in a while four or five people head to the president to make demands.”
“We want an official report otherwise they should just cease these activities,” he said in reference to the March 14 officials.
“We are prepared to take all measures to protect the people,” declared the MP.
Head of the Mustaqbal parliamentary bloc MP Fouad Saniora presented Suleiman with the memo on Tuesday in which the March 14 camp also demanded the expulsion of the Syrian ambassador to Lebanon and called for filing a complaint to the Arab League over the violations.
Addressing Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea, Aoun said: “Don’t attribute your history to us whenever you mention us.”
Geagea had indirectly accused on Saturday Aoun of striking an alliance with the Syrian regime, saying that the MP’s religious trips to the Syrian town of Brad were a cover for that alliance.
Aoun responded to the accusation by saying that his visits to Brad were of a religious nature.
“Could Geagea tell us what prayers was he performing in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates?” he asked.
Commenting on the telecom data dispute, Aoun warned that he has the right to press charges against the Lebanese state after a judicial committee, which headed to France, confirmed that providing the security agencies with the data is illegal.
“Former U.S. President Richard Nixon was forced to resign over a phone tapping scandal,” noted the FPM leader.
“A major problem will emerge if the telecom data continues to be delivered to the security agencies,” he added.
On former minister Michel Samaha’s arrest, Aoun wondered: “Where is the evidence that the explosives came from Syria?”
“These are all media claims. Nothing can be based on his statements. He can say that he got the explosives from me, but where is the proof?” he continued.
He therefore reiterated his demand that silence be maintained over the case until the investigations are complete.
In August, Samaha and Syrian security chief Ali al-Mamlouk were charged with forming a criminal gang aimed at carrying out attacks in Lebanon.
According to media reports, Samaha confessed to planning the attacks at Syrian orders.
“If he is guilty, then the greatest punishment should be laid down on him,” said Aoun.
“One should not however unjustifiably demand the expulsion of the ambassador,” he stressed.

Aoun: Yaacoub Shamoun was not imprisoned in Syria. His name was not on the Justice Ministry’s list of missing Lebanese in Syria. Shamoun is a Syrian resident from al-Qamishli. It was said that he used to fight for the Phalange and an informed sources told me that he used to train in Israel.

Aoun on Samaha’s case: Where is the evidence that the explosives were imported from Syria? Samaha can say that I got the explosives, but where is the evidence? I said that all sides must keep silent over the issue because there are major loopholes in the case. I am awaiting the results of the investigation. If he is guilty, then the greatest punishment must be laid down on him.

Aoun: I used to smoke four packs of cigarettes a day. One day in 1985, I had 35 cups of coffee and I still had seven cigarettes in the packet, which I threw away after suffering from some chest pain. I haven’t had a cigarette in 27 years and I feel much better for it.

I will say this today and let us see if they delete this one...
Which one of those microphones would fit in Aoun?? Start with the big orange one!!!

Yesterday Joseph Abou Fadel today Aoun. The Syrian orders have come down to all their minions. Samaha is not our man, make it known. The explosives were his, pass it along. We knew nothing of a bombing plot, tell the grapevines. Samaha is being dropped because he's about to spill the bean on all Syrian criminal activities since the late eighties. They can't whack him so they'll try to cast doubt on his confessions. I guess his Syrian apoited lawyers Jamil ayyed's son and the Marada's Finyanous will resign from representing him. Soon you'll read mowaten, FloatingTurd and the rest of the Baraze2 squad members affirming that Samaha was never Syria's man but a French intelligence agent.
What a cunning plan! Twenty five days in the making, those Syrians sure lost their edge.

Hey Tony....keep an eye on that non-Lebanese traitor Farsi aka BSThrower who has hijacked the site with loads of aliases BUT naharnet on it. What a pathetic non-Lebanese moron! I'm waiting for his 7-8 down votes to pop up.

im ashamed to have been one of the greatest supporters of this Political Animal...i remember him accusing Syria in the past of almost anything and without any proof...look at him now..defending the Syrian Regime when it comes to Samaha and boarder violations...This is down right insulting and demeaning! Jaliss khattak ya General...

The state has Samaha's first-hand confession that the explosives came from Syria. It has Samaha on audio and video divulging that the explosives came from the office of Ali Mamlouk with the full knowledge and blessing of Bashar. It has the testimony of a turncoat informer. The plastic bags that housed the smaller explosives have a stamp of the Syrian ministry of agriculture.
What more evidence are you waiting for?

so what he is saying is that he trust the syrian government and justice system (including the one he was fighting in the 80s who gave down verdicts on lebanese fighters)

So Ben, there can't be more than one guy disagreeing with you? or else it has to be one person with multiple avatars? That's not democratic dude, rather fascistic... or sionistic... or hezbullastic...

if you use the comment section regularly, you would know there are only a handful of people that do. the total i would say is around 15 people who post on most articles. up until recently it was easy to predict approximately how many votes up and down a pro M8 or pro M14 post would get. then, all of a sudden, M14 votes get 10 to 15 automatic vote downs, without there being a lot of new names

I don't have a 6th sense, but I totally recognize one style. He may act like muslim or christian, educated or not... yet it's one single person. Sure I don't mind criticism, it can be healthy but as rudy says, there's a pattern...
I'm not married to M14, of course not... but whoever acts as FT is on the Aoun payroll.

M8 or M14 huh? didn't it ever occur to you guys that lots of people support neither?
Remember your math class:
M8 + M14 = M16 ;)

haha anonymouslb, it seems the roaming 15 votes disagree with your last comment

Yes, it's true that people can vote without commenting, however the increase in pro-M8 votes happened instantaneously in one day, not over a period of time. If you study statistics, you would know that it is not logical that 15 new random people joined this site on one random day, and all started voting pro-M8. Something like that, if it was to actually happen, the increase in votes would occur gradually over a period of time, not all in one day.
It is obvious that the sudden increase in pro-M8 votes is the result of manipulation by one or two persons (if more than one person, then the two are working together under the same instructions).
Keep in mind that FT has admitted in the past that his purpose here is to post comments to make this site appear more pro-M8, which makes hime nothing but a propagandist.

March 14 want UN along the border with Syria and at the same time disarm Hizbollah and hand the protection of Lebanon to the Lebanese army:) If they don't trust the Lebanese army to saveguard the Lebanon/Syrian border, who on earth do they think will protect Lebanon from the zionists:)
March 14 should stick to fishing along the cornich and stay out of politics, nothing smart has been said and ever will by those most incompetent fools:)

appleandoranges !!!! 25 years of occupation is enough proof.no need for further evidence.
Anyone who support Assad regime should have his family shot one by one ,he shot be kept alive for him to feel the pain of thousands of lebanese who suffered on the hand of the Syrian regime.
By the way El Wateh bidal Wateh ,Aoun deserted his soldiers.

Four: Even if Samaha turned out not to be a puppet of Syria like you (you, ya Aoun, whose very existence in Lebanon again was conditional on the fact that you claimed not to want to sell our country to Baschar; you opportunist, unprincipled, cowardly traitor!), the Lebanese people have the inalienable right to not be humiliated worldwide over the fact that their government openly colludes with a mass-murderer; and a spokesman for that mass-butcher is as unwelcome in this country of ours - I'm speaking of Lebanon, in case you thought I'm referring to Syria ya Aoun - as are you. If the god you pray to is one who condones such criminal acts (reminder: the enemy of all Arabs, Israel, has not been able to murder as many Arabs in so many years as Baschar has in as many months), then snap out of your delusion already: your god is the Devil.

Five: Richard Nixon was ousted from the government after the Whitewatergate tapes because he was a crook. Crooks have no place in a government. Crooks don't even have place in common society. So thank you very much, we know very well that the traitor-government installed by Hizb-al-Kuffar is going to be seeing heads rolling as a result of the publication of those tapes that you and your criminal buddies are trying to hide, and your covering up for the criminals sheds a lot of doubt on your own snow-white innocence. The people want to know the extent of your criminal activities, ya khayen, and we're going to get those tapes even if it means hacking the bejesus out of your puny security system to get them.

Absolutely! When you have a loner geek moron like BSThrower who has nothing better to do but fabricate aliases just in order to hijack the blog and site. They will be on to him soon. For now I can only feel petty for this lonesome loser.....

Aoun is harboring so much anger knowing full well that his master in Syria is struggling to hang on to power and will soon be nabbed and God knows what will happen to him. I wouldn't be amazed if he passes away before the toppling of Assad? After all, after Assad he will be nothing in Lebanon which will hurt him dearly.

doesnt matter really. whether its is one person or a million.. even if 90% of the lebanese support him and M8, doesnt make them any less wrong :)
