Suleiman Requests Measures Be Taken against Qanso over His Accusation of High Treason
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
President Michel Suleiman demanded on Friday that measure be taken against Baath Party MP Assem Qanso over his recent accusation of high treason against the president.
Suleiman made the request to caretaker Justice Minister Shakib Qortbawi.
Qanso had directed the accusation against Suleiman in light of the latter's filing of memorandums to the Arab League and United Nations on Syria's violations of Lebanese territory.
Suleiman defended his decision to send the memos, saying that his move was constitutional, reported As Safir newspaper earlier on Friday.
The president said that he is only interested in “safeguarding Lebanon and its citizens,” denying accusations that he is defending the Syrian opposition.
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea came to Suleiman's defense on Friday, calling on the state prosecutor to take measures against the parties criticizing for sending the memos.
Syrian regime troops have carried out attacks on Lebanese border areas, mainly air raids on the northeastern town of Arsal, which has become an escape route for rebels and people running away from the fighting in Syria.

Qanso should be jailed with all his underlings and his criminal ssnp party banned. SSNP are the executors of May 7....
If Geagea had some brains, he would have said in the national dialogue"ok, hezbollah, keep your long range weapons, but return the weapons of the microthugs that you support such as ssnp" But all he thought about with his limited brain is to boycott the national dialogue.

peacelover. I am not saying they should give up weapons. Only to disarm other factions such as baath, ssnp, ahmad jibril, mostafa saad, even amal... These are not "resistance" are they?

as for our shia brothers to demonstrate, they wont. the few that are thinking about it have been scared off by the recent murder of salman.
As for a lot of the others, especially the activists and young, they are on the payroll of HA, how can u fight that?
Maybe if they organize alternative financing from rich chiites in africa who are tired of HA

there is nothing more dangerous to lebanon than those assad fixtures, qanso and the gang... The lebanese army was able to take on fath el islam so i dont worry much about qaeda. Even HA we can always talk to them.
But syria's assad and his employees have as a full time job to wreak havoc in lebanon. FULL TIME. We should give ourselves a lot of credit to having resisted them.
