Aoun Says March 14 Has Gunmen Able to Obstruct Elections
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun stated on Wednesday that the March 14 opposition has “armed men that can postpone the parliamentary elections”, noting that “extremism in Lebanon is encouraged by the presence of terrorist movements in Syria”.
"Supporters of the opposition can provoke security incidents or insist on adopting a certain electoral law,” Aoun expressed in an interview with the Washington-based al-Hurra television station, explaining that this would put the elections off.
"March 14 has weakened and become divided and as such, they might resort to their gunmen to halt the electoral process,” he elaborated.
“Elections must be held on time”.
The FPM leader considered that the growing extremism in Lebanon has been encouraged by “terrorist movements in Syria after all radical organizations in Arab countries have entered the neighboring country”.
"I do not encourage any armed interference in Syria's conflict,” Aoun stated, pointing out however, that Lebanese residents of border villages “have the right to defend themselves and fight back at terrorist attacks”.
Lebanese parties are sharply divided over the crisis in Syria as the March 8 alliance continuously expresses its support to Assad, while the March 14 camp voices its support for the popular revolt.
The international community and analysts have expressed fears that the conflict in Syria may spill over into the Lebanon.
The cabinet has adopted a policy of disassociation towards the neighboring country's events but the security incidents on the border have sparked rumors about an alleged involvement of Hizbullah fighters in the conflict.
The rebel Free Syrian Army had threatened in February to shell Hizbullah military bases in Lebanon after accusing it of firing across the border into territory it controls.
General Selim Idriss, the FSA's chief of staff, told Agence France Presse that Hizbullah had shelled villages around Qusayr, which is located in the central Syrian province of Homs, from the border village of Zeita, a Hizbullah stronghold in the Bekaa valley of Lebanon.
Hizbullah has repeatedly denied any involvement in Syria's clashes.

What are saying peace? We M14ers don't have such weapons. Only terrorists such as HA or Palestinians camps have them.

andre i am saying that if M8ers have the right to be armed then their logic should be to allow everyone to be... people like aoun should not complain if other parties than M8 are armed because they set the example of resolving everything through weapons....

I can't believe this guy still has supporters.
God does not throw stones, when he wants to vent his anger at a nation, he subjugates them to the rantings of a lunatic like Aoun. I believe we are being punished.

that Lebanese residents of border villages “have the right to defend themselves and fight back at terrorist attacks”.
so people in the arsal region and others have the right to defend themselves too right? or is it that his allies are the only ones..

Why does Nahar still post up the babblings of this demented old man. He has given over completely to his mental disease.
Psychological projection was first conceptualized by Sigmund Freud as a defense mechanism where a person subconsciously denies his or her own negative attributes by ascribing them to the outside world instead. Thus, projection involves imagining or projecting faults onto others. The original idea was that projection would allow for reduced anxiety by allowing the expression of the unwanted unconscious impulses or desires without letting the conscious mind recognize them.
What else explains how Aoun, an avowed Lebanese nationalist in the past, who has been required to ally with armed gunmen who had allied with his old enemy now accuses M14 of being allied with armed gunmen who could disrupt elections?

The only armed gunmen who have the motive and ability to disrupt elections with their guns is Aoun's ally Hezbollah. If they see that an election will be held whereby they lose their ability to select the PM and cabinet, then they will see to it that the elections are cancelled and a continuing mandate is adopted for the present government which Hezbollah controls from top to bottom and side to side.
Maybe some part of Aoun's now rotten brain is causing him to suffer anxiety over the fact that he has enabled this condition to persist in Lebanon and now he tries to assuage himself and his anxiety by projecting his worst conduct over to the rest of the world.

Once a sellout always a sellout. Either we disarm everyone, build a strong state together. Put laws in place where these politicians don’t give every project t highest bidder because they give back the biggest “commission checks” to the politicians in return or we stay a 3rd world country.
