جعجع من بكركي: على رئاسة الجمهورية أن تستعيد موقعها وحكومة 9-9-6 مشلولة

Merry Christmas everybody. I hope the festive season bring you joy and happiness.

what happened to your name> ? You added another letter to another fake account?

Sold out for Christmas!

this is one of FT's fake accounts :)

sure but not more than your hezbi friends covered by your hypocrit FPM....

do i? oh! really? in your mind it seems only because in your binaary mind i am either with hezbollah or else i am a takfiri or zionist or cannibal...
yes, I know the song.

so if it pleases you and it is easier for your mind to grasp then label me as you want... i really do not care. you remind me of george bush who also sees the world in a binaray way: the good and the evils!
oh! and all the dictators in the world also see it that way! you are either with the gvt or else you work for the enemies! LOL

see you didn't invent anything, just refering to simplistic views because it is much more comforting and needs no effort of the mind....

so be my guest and refer to me as you want... it leaves me totally indifferent....

"the true nature of the Lebanese people is love of freedom and affection for America; and the true nature of America is support for those aspiring to freedom."

LOL

you still believe in lebanese politicans? LOL they are all here to defend their interests, but not the ones of the lebanese people...
the only solution is a gvt led by NON-politicians , not affiliated to any side, but who are competent and still believe in the state...
but it will never happen , the lebanese politicians greed is stronger than their interests in the nation...

And FT, your knight on the white horse! le petite generale was indicted and found guilty in abstention by the same legal authority that convicted Geagea. Aoun got his pardon from Assad, but it came at a price that Aoun willingly has paid since his return in 2005. Aoun's price is to provide political cover to Hezbollah. Geagea, at least was released free to speak his mind

Let us view things realistically. Hezbollah has the country in all but name only. There is a nominal government and all who participate in it are marginal players, from Berri to Sulieman. How to get back in the game?? First the Christian parties must unite on a national agenda. This is essential. As long as one is seeking private gain, and the other is still fighting battles that ended 20 years ago, the Christian parties will remain divided, weakened and irrelevant.

then why are you criticizing those who today take the stance of aoun in the past? aoun was a traitor at the time then? or are those who are allied with the USA wrong now when aoun was right? LOL

and may i point out to you that the politicians under the syrian rules HAD TO obey the syrians or they died... even aoun said that...was it wrong? or i bet you d prefered to have died? LOL

and those who obeyed the syrians in the past and STILL are even by knowing the horrors they did to lebanon are better because they did not filp flop? LOL

and aoun did not flip flop? but for him it is ok but not for others?

so be logic with yourself and if you accept aoun's flip flopping then accept the others... and if aoun was a patriot when he said this then why are those you criticize now not the same? LOL

We need new leadership in the Christian parties. Lebanon is held together, history shows either by the Christian Parties, or by the Alawites. The Alawites gained control by dividing Christians and suppressing the Sunni in Lebanon, while building it's alliances with the Shia, and Joumblatt.

The evacuation of the Alawites in 2005 has left the Shia in control (Hezbollah) with a thin veneer of legitimacy provided by a Lebanese Christian faction. But the Christians have no capacity to impact national policy! only to accumulate private wealth in the ministries.

The Christian parties who have stayed with the national movement in M14 have even less power and influence.

But if the Christian parties all united! even though a demographic minority! a united position provides leverage in sealing with Hezbollah or Mustaqbel. The leverage is that the Christians will provide one or the other with a governing majority and this will deactivate the institutions of government. The Christians will not be a junior partner, but a full partner in the government institutions, able to have a say on things that matter.

We could even be in a position to have Hezbollah and Mustaqbel enter a bidding war offering to the Christian parties so as to win their unified support. This was Hezbollah's play in 2006 when they cut the deal with Aoun figuring that his FOM could deliver Christian votes to a Hezbollah/Christian coalition. But, it didn't work, too many Christians did not follow Aoun because of the ancient feud with Geagea and because of Aoun himself.

So, we need new leaders who can bring us together, give us leverage, engage in coalition politics and rejuvenate the national life of the country. It is my wish at Christmas 2013

peace don't bother with these closet Iranians.. they need a job just like everybody else and shoveling M8 BS online is easier then selling Hizbullah tee shirts in the street.

Actionman... according to FFT the pajama general was kidnaped by the french foreign legion. He was kept captive in a maximum security villa for many years, after Aoun received his "special pardon" he returned to Lebanon and took his new post as a minor spokesman for the brotherly Assad regime.

religions are the opium of the masses and there are lots of addicted in lebanon! LOL

Big John, you are justifying things as they are. Things as they are work against a free pluralistic Lebanon. Things as they are must change if the free Lebanon we want can have a chance to see the light of day. Yes, sure all politicians are bought and paid for by outside players who purchase Lebanese politicians so as to advance their agendas in Lebanon. You have stated the obvious, and you have stated what must change if we are to see the slide into be becoming just another failed Arab state arrested and reversed.

I others in Lebanon have given in to the cynicism that you have expressed, then Lebanon is done. My net bet though, is that Lebanon is never done. It's always in a state of becoming.

It's mind blowing how march8 got the government all for themselves for the current government with no march14 inclusion what so ever! Yet it's not allowed to have march14 to have a government without march8.

It's only fair to allow march14 the same right. Despite they have won the elections so many times they were not allowed that basic right!

The apparent double standard is the product of M8 being armed and M14 not being armed.

When asked to explain, Dr. Arreet 7akeh said: uh... duh... umm... well... my master in Saudi Arabia told me that and I trust my master.

Why not place Lebanon under UN mandate and let's send all these mafia clowns home?

Love him or hate him, he's 100% right !

Hezbollah has completely disregarded the rest of the Lebanese with its unilateral decisions (fighting in Syria, ...). Why should they be given veto power ?

It should only be a Majority government or a technocrat government. Hezbollah cannot govern. It's incapable of doing so. And they do not enjoy majority (except in FT and Mowaten's minds).
