Al-Mustaqbal Ready to Attend Dialogue after Cabinet Formation
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Al-Mustaqbal bloc leader Fouad Saniora has informed President Michel Suleiman about the movement's readiness to participate in an unconditional national dialogue only after the formation of the new government.
A high-ranking source told As Safir newspaper published Wendesday that an al-Mustaqbal delegation headed by Saniora returned from talks with the movement's leader ex-PM Saad Hairri in Jeddah with three conclusions.
The officials who met there conditioned the formation of a cabinet that does not include political figures and agreed to the resumption of dialogue that Suleiman had called for but without preconditions, saying they would attend the all-party talks only after Premier-designate Tammam Salam comes up with his line-up and receives the parliament's vote of confidence.
The third issue that was the focus of discussions in Jeddah was facilitating a solution to the vacuum that will be caused by Army chief Gen. Jean Qahwaji's retirement in two months.
Qahwaji turns 60 in September, the age of retirement for army commanders.
Parliament has so far failed to convene over the veto of several blocs among them al-Mustaqbal to deliberate on 45 draft-laws, including the extension of Qahwaji's mandate.
Saniora briefed Suleiman on Tuesday on the results of al-Mustaqbal delegation's meeting in Jeddah, sources said.
According to al-Joumhouria newspaper, another delegation traveled to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday afternoon to follow up the latest decisions reached with Hariri.
As Safir said Saniora informed Suleiman that he would receive Hariri's blessing to any formula that the president backs on the extension of Qahwaji's term.
It revealed that agreement has been reached among top parties to keep Qahwaji in his post through a legal formula that Caretaker Defense Minister Fayez Ghosn has come up with.
Ghosn has informed Suleiman about it but they are waiting for a parliamentary session set for July 29 that has the extension on its agenda.
If the parliament fails to convene again over lack of quorum caused by the boycott of several blocs, then they would sign the bill to keep Qahwaji in his post for another year, As Safir said.

NostraGeha, if I were you I would not accept hizbushaitan (easy now, don't get too excited by this word or tickle yourself into trance of virtual reality) until you conduct an exorcism on them. I am not sure how simple and quickly you can successfully do that. But knowing that you know... well... umm... duh... not what you are talking about? and that pretty much everything you say amounts to a load of bull (like Dr. Arreet 7akeh and his Drs. Arteena Satleh) I can confidently say that things will go... well... umm... duh... not as you think you know or say they will. takbir

Rebel, when you insult people in your comments, it's called "moderation", not censorship. If Naharnet was censoring comments, most of the junk you see here would not exist. Even in your complaint above, you use words like "Farts", "ass". Why do you need to use such language ? Are your arguments so empty without them ?
Learn how to express yourself properly. Otherwise, I hope Naharnet will censor you or block you or ban you once and for all.

Hezbollah does not want a Government
Hezbollah does not want Elections
Hezbollah does not want a Lebanese State
Hezbollah does not want free thinkers
Hezbollah wants to control all Lebanese like they do their followers
Hezbollah wants total and absolute freedom of action to do whatever is in their interest and that of Iran and Syria.
Hezbollah attacked and will attack anyone who tries to interfere with their plans
There will never be any co-existence between a true Lebanese state and Hezbollah. One has to cancel the other out !
To all followers of Hezbollah : aren't you simply tired of defending the undefendable ? Don't you want to move on with your lives and build a country and future for your children ?
Hezbollah has NO PLANS for your future and have proven they are incapable of ruling a country ! MOVE ON!

My compatriots of Farts 14 and Sanni First of cheikh Saad al-Haribi Telteyn al-Marajil, aka al-Qaeda - Lebanon Brigades, even if everybody attends the dialogue it will be incomplete and meaningless because Dr. Arreet 7akeh, a man who does not waver even though he is always... well... umm... duh... never right? (now that's a dumbo of principle, much appreciated by Drs. Arteena Satleh!), will not be present. wlak min addak ya 7ak...awati halak sama rab el 3alamin bi art el 7akeh?
