Suleiman: Discovery of Terrorist Cells Only Glimpse of what Global Terror Has in Store for Lebanon
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
President Michel Suleiman praised on Thursday the General Security members for their role in uncovering spy networks and terrorist cells.
He said: “The discovery of these cells and the firing of rockets in Lebanon are a glimpse of what global terror has in store for the country.”
He made his remarks during a ceremony marking the 68th anniversary of the establishment of the General Security.
The president added: “The military institution is at the heart of our interests as officials.”
“It should be properly equipped and bolstered with a national defense strategy that benefits from the resistance's expertise in confronting Israel,” continued Suleiman.
“You must remain united in carrying out your duties and you must have faith in the army and state institutions in confronting any instability,” he said addressing General Security officials.
Moreover, he warned of foreign dangers facing Lebanon, namely Israel's ongoing threat against the country's sovereignty.
“Confronting dangers is a collective responsibility,” he declared.
“Officials should maintain the proper operation of state institutions because they guarantee the functioning of the state,” he remarked.
The interests of the state institutions should not be affected by political setbacks, he noted.

The minute you mention the word "resistance" you lose my vote, confidence and respect! You are the protector and guardian of the constitution and 17 sects of Lebanon. How can you talk of resistance when it is exclusive only to one sect that is more iranian than lebanese.

Very good point. Unfortunately, the "resistance" has been trying to usurp and monopolize the term. One can barely talk about an electric device and the "resistance" that the wires pose in there without somebody or the other shooting into the air and crying out "fidék ya Sayyéd!".

justice: israelis can't vote in Lebanese elections, so i think Suleiman won't need you, nor your confidence or respect.
i know you prefer him to replace the word "resistance" with "submission" but, hey, live with it.

Being a brainwashed thug does that to you. Go kill yourself, and you would be considered a martyr for Lebanon.

Brother, Hizb is no Lebanese "resistance" anymore and I hope you realize it by now. When they sacrifice Lebanon's well-being for the sake of buttressing the regime in Syria, where do you see any Lebanese spirit left in them? Maybe they once were. In 2006, when we all supported them against Israeli aggression, perhaps they were. But those are long gone days my friend. They have forgotten Lebanon since then.

Sure! Because the Army and the "resistance" were able to protect all of our politicians. The Army and the "resistance" were able to stop the invasion of Beirut circa May 2008. The "resistance" has been extremely efficient in protecting Lebanon from bankruptcy too, as we all know. Southern, which country are you here to defend? Lebanon or Syria and Iran? Decide on your priorities already brother, la2inno holé s7abak el "resistance" have been dragging the country into the inferno, and have been dragging the name of the Shi3a through the mud. Sirna zillit el dinyé min wara l'"resistance" te3itak!

the failure to protect politicians is ashraf rifi's failure, a man who refers to M14 as "our political side".
