Suleiman-Aoun Rapprochement Paves Way for Alliance ahead of 2013 Elections
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Opposition sources criticized the ongoing rapprochement between President Michel Suleiman and Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun, saying that it is aimed at paving the way for an alliance between the two sides ahead of the 2013 parliamentary elections.
They told the Kuwaiti al-Anbaa newspaper in remarks published on Sunday that Suleiman chose an inappropriate time for this rapprochement given the MP’s recent hostile remarks against the opposition and March 14 camp.
“His rapprochement with Aoun will inevitably cause the March 14 camp to distance itself from him,” they added.
FPM sources meanwhile denied that the rapprochement was instigated by external pressure, revealing that the President took the initiative and contacted Aoun in order to salvage their relationship after it was marred by disputes during the government formation process.
“He probably reached out to Aoun after he sensed that the March 14 camp was no longer in power and he wanted to fortify the Christians in Lebanon at the behest of Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi,” they stressed.

Great and wonderful news for the Maronites and for all Lebanese ! Thank you Patriarch RAI for your sponsorship in this rapprochement between the 2 generals .
President Sleimane took the right decision , knowing that GMA will win as usual , all the seats in the Christian areas in 2013 , and will double the number of his parliamentary party and bloc this time .
Instead of 28 today , he will have at least 55 MP's and this is for sure .. With tha backing of Bkirki and his beatitude Patriarch RAHI and the backing of his holiness the Pope Benedict , GMA is definitely the strong Christian man in Lebanon and in the M.E .
All these days lost with ex Patriarch Sfeir that was openly against his own Church and community for very " strange " reasons !!! Strange how things change so quickly , now that Hariri & Sfeir are both OUT .!?

good. I can post something before le phenicien repeats his usual tirade.
guys, please stop responding to phenicien, all he does is repeat the same stuff over and over again trying to incite emotional responses from people who don't share his views. He's not trying to have a thought-provoking discussion, he only wants to argue. So stop giving him a reason to continue by answering him!

phenicien keeps repeating the same things because he has the brains of a 2 year old, he doesn't know anything else, and nature did not grant him a well functioning brain.
now on this story, it is very likely that this gov't won't be in power comes 2013, so it is futile to start alliances from now. nonetheless it is always a noble cause to bridge the gap between lebanese leaders, regardless of who they are

How anyone could want that psychopath anywhere near the gears of power after what he did to the country in his 'War of Liberation' 21 years ago is beyond me.

GMA fought for many principles. What has happened to these principles?
1 - GMA was against corruption: “how many millions has his son-in-law today?”
Also another millionaire is “Simon & Co who had not one dime to take a Taxi in Paris and who is now constructing a most beautiful villa on the heights of Jbeil with swimming pool “pieds dans l’eau”…
P.S: to those who say that the son-in-law was always rich…they should know that his father was 2ahwaji in a restaurant in Batruun (no 2ayb on that). But if the father was 2ahwaji it simply meant he was not rich!
“Min ayna laka haza” ?
For GMA himself: what has happened with the millions (90 M$) received in 1988-1990 and put in an account under his wife’s name?
2 – GMA was against Nepotism & Family political heritage: “The formation of two governments were blocked to impose the nomination of his son-in-law. Why? Is he such a great competent person?

I wonder why many of you do comment on what’s being written by those who have no human values.
You just have to feel sorry for such people and pray God to Help them as they are poor ignorant.
For example, those strangers who attack The Holy Church depending on persons … surely do not belong to Church Family. Because if they were part of this family they would be leaded by The Spirit of God and not by ignorant haters freemason leaders.
“Let them alone; they are blind guides (of the blind). If a blind person leads a blind person, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14).
Just pray God to Help them being followers of God and not anymore blind followers of ironic persons (called leaders???).
