Geagea: Nasrallah Has Assumed Role of Judge to Determine Who Takes Part in National Dialogue
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea accused on Wednesday Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah of “leading the country to a catastrophe due to his recent actions,” saying that the party leader is only working on achieving his interests in Lebanon.
He said during a press conference: “Nasrallah has taken it upon himself to act as judge to determine who takes part in the national dialogue.”
“Despite everything, Lebanon is a democratic country and all who attend the national dialogue do so because they represent the people,” he added.
Commenting on the government crisis, he said: “We are free to chose the formation of whichever government we want if we win the parliamentary elections.”
“The other camp can go ahead and form a cabinet of its liking if it wins the elections,” he continued.
“We want the rise of the state, which is the last of your concerns,” Geagea accused Nasrallah.
“Partnership with you will lead to chaos in Lebanon,” he declared.
“You may want a national unity government, but we don't. I do not want any partnership with you in a cabinet. I agree to partnership with you at parliament,” he stated.
“I would like to remind Nasrallah that during 2007 and 2008 he used to call for early parliamentary elections in order to form a one-sided government. I am now making a similar demand, but Nasrallah is refusing it because it does not suit his interests,” remarked the Lebanese Forces leader.
Addressing Nasrallah's accusations against the Lebanese Forces that it had cooperated with Israel during the 1975-90 civil war, Geagea said that the LF was forced to purchase arms from Israel because it was in a “very difficult position.”
“What do you say, Nasrallah, about the documented trade of arms between Israel and Iran?” he wondered.
Moreover, he noted that the majority of the suspects arrested in Lebanon over the past few years over collaborating with Israel are members of Hizbullah.
“No LF members were among those arrested,” he said.
“The real enemy collaborators are those who receive funds from foreign states during a time of peace, not those who purchased arms from an enemy at a time of war,” Geagea explained.
On Hizbullah's recent acknowledgment of a drone it sent to fly over Israel, he commented: “The Lebanese people alone will pay the price for this action.”
Addressing Nasrallah, he asked: “Seeing as you admitted that Iran has obtained the images taken by the drone, why haven't they been provided to the Lebanese army?”
“Don't you trust the Lebanese army?” wondered Geagea.
“You are leading the country towards a catastrophe due to your actions. You do not care about the Lebanese people, but only regional interests,” he added.
“It is true that your presence leads us to worry about Lebanon's security, but you cannot accuse the March 14 camp of wanting Israel to wage a war against Lebanon to attack Hizbullah,” he said.
“We do believe that you to pose a danger to Lebanon, but that does not mean that we are overlooking Israel's threat against the country,” he remarked.
Furthermore, Geagea slammed Nasrallah's accusations that the Christians of the March 14 camp are attempting to create Sunni-Shiite strife.
“Should the March 14 Christians be blamed for the Sunni-Shiite strife in Iraq?” he asked.
“Those fueling the strife are the sides that stood by the Syrian regime after the assassination of former Premier Rafik Hariri in 2005,” he added.
“Those fueling the strife are the sides that tried to topple former Premier Fouad Saniora's government and overthrew that of former PM Saad Hariri,” he said.
On Nasrallah's accusations that the March 14 camp is attempting to eliminate the March 8 camp from rule, Geagea stated: “How can a coalition that has been the target of 25 assassinations and failed attempts be seeking to eliminate the other?”
“How is it that Hizbullah, which has the strongest security apparatus in Lebanon, has succeeded in uncovering a number of enemy collaborators, but failed to uncover those behind the assassinations?” asked the LF leader.
Commenting on Nasrallah's claims that the March 14 camp is exploiting politically the assassination of Internal Security Forces Intelligence Bureau chief Brigadier General Wissam al-Hasan, he said: “Did you expect us to remain silent over it?”
“Didn't clashes break out in Lebanon over a television parody of Nasrallah in the past? Wasn't this issue employed politically? How can assassinations not be employed politically?” he asked.
Addressing the parliamentary elections and the dispute over the electoral law, Geagea remarked: “I believe that I enjoy popular support, but I will not accept the law that was approved by the government.”
“If you believe yourself to be as strong as you say, then you must agree to a law that best represents the people. I call upon you to go ahead with the electoral law that is based on 50 districts because it offers the best representation as you had stated in the past,” he added.

At least there is someone that truly defends the Lebanese Christians.
We do not need Hezbollah, they are resisting to change they are resisting to the sustainability of Lebanon, they are resisting the economical growth of Lebanon. LF was with Israel to defend themselves! Hezbollah's resistance of Israelis not affecting Israel but Lebanon. What is Hezbollah to Israel ? a small bothering kid on the other side of the border.. remember their nuclear capabilities for a second

March 14 are always funded by the Saudis and the states...even during times of peace just like March 8 is funded by Iran and Syria. I love how they always talk about the other one as being the bad guy when none of them takes the time to see himself in the mirror.

“The real enemy collaborators are those who receive funds from foreign states during a time of peace, not those who purchased arms from an enemy at a time of war,” M8 get funds from Iran and Syria. M14 get funds from the Saudis, the french and the states. What's different?

Stop using the paslestinian exodus to justify your comments: these are pure fear tactics.
as for the need for water...: have you heard about s=desalination plants?
come of it, the scare tactics no longer play with anyone.
hizbushaitan never used their guns internally! but once! please reply to the series of facts that Geagea brought up today, then we will talk about this if you still find the need for that.
your comments are pathetic and show lack of thinking on your own.
stop following these traitors if you have any love for your country.

Farsi Motormouth.....first off I don't even like to discuss anything with you because you have a one-sided mind frame which is always the same ol.....HA is here to protect us from Israel....blah...blah..blah. Give it a rest dude and pull the wool off your head. Where have we (Lebanese) seen any killing from Israel in these past 8-10 years? NONE! But we have seen numerous filth and killing from this satanic group known as HA! We have seen clear signs that they work under the orders of Iran as does the scum Bashar! You have the right to bow and pray to your grand ayatollah but do NOT have the right to force their ideologies down our throats with weapons pointed at us! Get the hell out of Lebanon and move to Iran. I'm sure there is plenty of room for you are your likes!

He proved again why he is really one of the last hopes of Lebanon. I just wish the Lebanese people would listen to his speech carefully today starting with our Shiite brothers. Hizbollah is deceiving your Lebanese dream. Come on people lets stop believing fake stories and start choosing between right and wrong. Lets just the current and stop pondering on the past. The LF of today and Dr Geagea are about partnership with all patriotic Lebanese. Wake up and stop supporting fake leaders before it is too late for us and our Lebanon.

Geagea is quite correct and has spoken a truth that Nasrallah wishes to avoid when he said that during the Iran-Iraq War, Iran did take military aid from Israel. This was the Iran-Contra Affair. The US was selling arms to Iran via Israel. The US sold to Israel and then Israel would mark up the price and sell to Khomenie then the US took the proceeds from the sales to fund the Contra Rebels in Nicaragua.
But the fact remains, that Islamic Iran, the pure Iran bought weapons from Israel that were supplied by the US.
It is the dirtiest secret in the Middle East that Iran, Israel, Hezbollah and Assad all are on the same team. They all work together for each others own survival.
Hakim should speak this truth more often and maybe it will open the eyes of those sheep who blindly follow these people around.

We need a third, centrist political party. M14 & M8 will be shocked how much support they can gather.

I see more opposition to the "technocrat Government" from the M8 side. It is proposed also by M14 side but Aoun, Franjierh, HA, Berri all opposed it.

unlike you guys, I do not have a master :)
I respond to those who express my views of the moment, and today Geagea did that perfectly.
all syro/iranian associates are just traitors to Lebanon, putting all of us Lebanese at risk of a war with Israel just to serve your masters.
and that includes fpmers, who are so stupid following these guys at the expense of their own country.

stupid comment for the king of stupidity.
this is the type of comments you come up with when you have no argument like a small kid :)
you are pathetic, but I do hope you start to realize that hizbushaitan is driving the country to the brink f either war or civil war, and in both cases, they are bad for the country.
wake guys, and stop following these traitors blindly.
14 November 2012, 17:33

you are just like your master nasrallah: you accuse others of what you are :)
each day you prove to all how much brainwashed you are, and on top of that the stupidity of your arguments are here thanks to your courtesy.

geha why bother respond to Farsi Motormouth? We all know is backdrop which is simply an Iranian-loving fool that would love to turn Lebanon into a similar regressed country ruled by fanatic extremists who live by the law of death, torture and evil.

@thefool....you need someone who has the guts to stand against Iran, Syria, KSA and the US. Lebanon needs a real political party not an other religious party. But no one is to blame but the lebanese people themselves. In any other country all of M8 and M14 politicians would be in jail for corruption, murder and power abuse! But as long as lebanese will sell their votes for less than a 1$ a day....it will stay impossible.

The Only Israeli traitor is the Iranian Traitor. This is all fabricated. Iran and Israel are in the same shoes including Syria.. So all Hypricots Hizbullah was created to protect Israel.

You can't have your cake, eat it too and still be skinny unless you are in March 14. Gaegae advocates a complete boycott of national dialouge, no compromise and totally dismisses representational voting. Then he criticizes Nasrallah as a judge of who can and cannot participate in dialouge. If that make sense to you then you must be Lebanese. Why should he care what Nasrallah says since he is never, ever, ever going to sit down with or even be allowed in the same room with the bearded wonder. You people really need some new leaders. Gaegae should shut his mouth for a while and just watch, then think about things deeply, then call somebody withn a brain (Not Harari) then speak. That is no joke.

At least he is doing something for the good of the Christians.
He is not harming the country like Hezbollah. Are they the resistance?
The resistance to economical growth, the resistance to the Lebanese's people future, the resistance to the sustainability of the country?
Then they are the resistance!
Hezbollah's actions were to protect Lebanon from Israel and we are grateful for that but they have to understand that their actions are affecting the Lebanese people and Lebanon as a country. We are going backwards socially, economically and politically.
Their actions should be decided by all the Lebanese people not only Hasan Nasrallah, or else we have no use for them

I am not for each Potatoe head doing good for his sect/community.... this is the quick sand Lebanon is sinking in. I would rather see each leader think of doing good to the Lebanese (all sects). And see the each Lebanese measure our political figures based on how LEBANESE they are not how CHRITIAN or DURZY or SUNNI or SHIA minded each is. Let us move into the 21st Century please. This is why I consider Iran and Syria as enemies, because they feed the sectarian mind set by arming or funding secular groups. It becomes like the cancer from within which is more dangerous than an outside enemy like Israel.
14 November 2012, 17:17

and you want us to believe that hizbushaitan is not doing what Syria and iran want them to do even against the interest of Lebanon?
come off it, you are naïve if you believe that.
hizbushaitan is what is most dangerous for us Lebanese. they are not a resistance whatsoever, rather they an Iranian unit in Lebanon, thus traitors and a foreign occupation.

mowaten gets irritated when anyone speaks the truth about hizbushaitan and start treating other of being Israeli traitors, while everyon knows that hizbushaitan are merely a tool in the hands of iran, thus acting as traitors to Lebanon.
from there on he looses it and starts saying anything :)
from my side I will not reply to his comments from now on to avoid useless clashes on this site, but it does not mean that his comments are accepted in any shape or form.
his comments deviate the reality of things to an extreme extent, and are mostly wrong.
