ميقاتي يلوّح بالاستقالة بسبب عجز الحكومة وعدم انتاجيتها
Read this story in English
لوّح رئيس مجلس الوزراء نحيب ميقاتي بخيارالاستقالة في حال بقيت الحكومة على هذه الحال من العجز وعدم الانتاجية، وفق ما أفادت مصادر وزارية.
وأوضحت المصادر لصحيفة "السفير" أن ميقاتي أبلغ مجلس الوزراء في جلسته أمس الاربعاء، في بعبدا برئاسة رئيس الجمهورية ميشال سليمان، أنه إذا بقيت الحكومة على هذه الحال من العجز وعدم الانتاجية، فإن لكل حادث حديثاً.
وقالت أن ميقاتي لمّح الى خيار الاستقالة، على قاعدة "اللهم اشهد أني بلغت".
ووفق "السفير" فإن ميقاتي لفت الى أن "الامور الراهنة تجبر الحكومة على التيقظ للمحافظة على هيبة الدولة"، مشدداً على "ضرورة تفعيل انتاجية الحكومة وأن نعيد للدولة هيبتها".
وتساءل رئيس الوزراء، على ما قالت الصحيفة، عما اذا كان "رحيل الحكومة يشكل مخرجاً من المأزق القائم، ام انه سيكون اشبه بضربة قاضية لعمل الدولة وكيانها ورمزيتها؟".
الى ذلك، قالت صحيفة "النهار"، أن ميقاتي، عبّر خلال جلسة الحكومة الاربعاء، عن استيائه من التطورات الاخيرة، وقال أن "الحكومة تبدو كأن فيها حكومات كثيرة".
وأردف قائلاً "وما لا أفهمه هو أن أطرافاً في الحكومة يشاركون في القرارات والحلول التي تحفظ الوطن ثم يتظاهرون ضدها وكل فريق يعتبر نفسه قادراً على فرض مطالبه بالقوة".
ودعا، وفق "النهار"، الى "التفاهم على ما سنطل به على الرأي العام وليتحمل كل فريق مسؤولية تصرفاته. أما ان نبقى على ما كنا عليه فهذا أمر غير مقبول ولا يرضى به ضميري ولا حسي الوطني ولا اعتقد أن أحداً يقبل بحالة الاستنزاف القائمة".
يُشار الى أن عدد من المناطق اللبنانية شهدت، في الآونة الاخيرة، قطع للطرقات لاسباب عديدة، من قضية الكويخات، الى مياومي الكهرباء، الى انقطاع التيار الكهربائي، الى ملف المخطوفين الـ11، الى داعمي الجيش اللبناني، وصولاً الى اعتصام امام مسجد بلال بن رباح الشيخ احمد الاسير في صيدا.

All the prime ministers since 1990 have been either thieves of the first degree or incompetent nincompoops.

Yes he was. The ones who were during the civil war were working for the country even thought the media did not portray this. Had Bachir been alive we would not have been in all this mess. He was the only person loved by all.

Thanks, Rudy!
Can someone explain to me how Miqati updated his used Hawker-Siddley to three fancy jets?

Some people are blaming a couple of ministers for the problem. Others blame the previous governments of shortcomings and thefts. Some blame the prime minister being a puppet in the hands of Uncle Sam fearing that will interfere with his business in Africa and other places and cut off his money.
I believe the whole system should be changed. We should have young, fresh blood in the governemnt who are qualified no matter which religious background they come from. Either prove yourself or be held accountable.

The "regime" in Lebanon is not led by Mikati. It is led by Nasrallah. Lebanon has a Hezbollah regime and that regime is dependent upon and its power derived, not the consent of the governed, but from Hezbollah's weapons and threat to use force to work its political agenda in Lebanon. Bas.
Now those weapons are threatened with the imminent collapse of the Assad Regime in Syria and so the Hezbollah regime in Lebanon is paralyzed.
Mikati is running a cover "government". This is not a real government as it has no power to enforce its writ anywhere in Lebanon that Hezbollah does not want the writ to be enforced. Mikati knew this when he signed on in 2011 and now the chickens are coming home to roost.

And let us be clear, Assad may fall in Damascus, but he will not fall in Syria. He is engaged in a step by step process of strategic retreat of his forces to the Alawi Mountains with Latakia as its capital and the Alawites will hold forth from there.
The question remains, will this rump Alawite state continue to perform its resupply services for Hezbollah from the Alawite Mountains? A corridor is needed from the north to the Bekaa to serve as a substitute for the existing corridor by which weapons are transferred from western Syria into eastern Lebanon.
Assad's ally in attempting this feat --- none other than Israel. Just watch. They are long time allies Assad, Israel and Iran and they will cover for each other.

I am having trouble following your logic. Are these educated guesses? If so, based on what? What makes you think the international community will tolerate Assad to remain in Syria? The Party of God controls the Beirut airport and seaport. Granted, smuggling weapons by air and sea will be much more exposed to military intervention and a lot more expensive but they've done bolder things...while everyone is cheering for the fall of the criminal Assad, I worry and fear what comes after. The conspiracy to turn the Middle East on its ear is in full swing now, first Saddam, next Gaddafi, then Mubarak and now Assad. Sorry but all I see is fundamentalism replacing dictatorships. None of it good for Lebanon in the long run should that entire fundamentalism movement decide to march to Israel thru Lebanon in the foreseeable future.

Lastly, I always try to follow American Interests in the region to understand how the chess game is being played and what the desired outcome of the game is. But now, I admit I am failing miserably to uncover US interests in this mess. In the last 30 years the US always backed the Assads when they were able to gain something from them, but now…hmm, are the pieces being moved around the board to pit IRAN against the Kingdom in the end? Fundamentalist Shia against Fundamentalist Sunni? This is dirty game and way above my ability to compute but there is a conspiracy going on regardless of whether or not I understand it and history has always shown us that Lebanon always is the sacrificial lamb. Ya rabbeh tnajinah!!!

Where are the posts/comments from the fringe pseudo Iranian operatives since the bombing in Syria? Guess everyone is busy formulating an exit strategy? Or maybe the checks stopped coming? Interesting! I wonder what the FPM’s next move is now that the alliance with the isolated Party of God is no longer a necessary evil in the eyes of the wannabe at any expense prez. My guess a lot of oranges are going to fall from the tree and regret not being on the right side of this issue.

I have information that Assad, long a strategic friend to the Israelis, is negotiating his Alawi ministate now with the Israelis. I do not know what interest the Israelis could have in securing Assad's survival that far from the Israeli border, I must confess. And if Assad does retreat to the Alawi Mountain, he can sustain himself there only with international support, but who would want or need him if he is limited to just the Alawi Mountain that borders Turkey to the north (hostile to Assad), Lebanon to the south (hostile Lebanese Sunnis in North Lebanon) and a hostile rest of Syria to the east.
It is a losing game for Assad, but its the only one he has left. He will not be able to hold Damascus for much longer.
