توقيف الوزير السابق ميشال سماحة وإطلاق سراح مرافقيه بعد اعترافه أنه كان يخطط لتفجيرات في الشمال

this traitor is the right hand of the syrian president nd has an office in his presidential palace.
here I am guessing: probably this has to do with unveiled plot to assassinate berri? especially they arrested lately a terrorist cell...
whatever, all traitors to Lebanon will end up in jail or finalized...

Micho, dont worry I will bring you cigarettes to jail...TRAITOR!!!

Ma bi sah ila el sahih

They fell in Syria, now the "others" will fall in Lebanon.

This guy was part of the late Nassib Lahoud party. So by calling him "Syrian dog" are you kids implying the same about Lahoud? Too many ignorantis giving their comments here.

There he goes where he belongs

Iqu7, you are may be mistaken this guy with Carole who is of a quite different brand from this Chabb(i7)7

i hope that everybody who's playing with the Lebanese independence will be condemned. long live Lebanon...

What a classy and intelligent bunch of people post here on Naharnet! No wonder Lebanon is deteriorating :( Shame.

So we still can't hold free and fair elections due to the Syrian hold over Lebanon?

Being 8th of March or 14th of March they all didn't do anything. Enough bullshit, enough non sense politic talks. Grow up people, enough following bullshit leaders whom names are repeated continuously since the beginning of the war till date.
Leaders are only interested to stay in control by winning the elections. Every 4 years the same drama and play is repeated, and Lebanese people wait every 4 years by hoping that the minimum living requirements are supplied with bullshit talks and non sense promises.
Dear Ministers, Deputies, Presidents, political clans heads, you are dirty Pigs, dogs, unworthy to talk in the Lebanese people’s name. To go hell

I think Pauldiezer and Slash politness can make us win the elections, without lifting a finger (especially not the middle one)

Simply a taste of HIS OWN MEDICINE! Finally justice is partially served!
Way to go Lebanon.The falling dictatorship in Syria starts paying off!
Long live Syria and Lebanon.

that is another proof of the dying syrian regime..who is next ..that is the question.

Let the judicial process take its course... (Ha ha! - WHAT judicial process?!?!?)....

Anyway, I think that there is general agreement among this august crowd that this guys is scum...

To lqu,

Just for the record :That low life was never in Lahoud's party. He was forced upon him by the zealots of syria.

I'm not sure what that has anything to do with my statement regarding the fact that the guy is always in Damascus and probably is coordinating with Assad's Airforce intelligence to carry out crimes in Lebanon. I agree that none of the people you mentioned are patriots given that they put their family interests before their own country but that still doesn't make it ok that Michel Samaha is complicit in the attempted murder of a Lebanese politician/citizen. You should be equally harsh on him as on the other politicians you mentioned. Right?

And I really meant it when I said that I saw him there at least 3 times over the past 5 months. Same spot as well. Sheraton Lobby in the bar area that's next to the front desk. He was also with the same guy all three times. Suspicious don't you think?

To FT:
You are an ignorant and a malicious person. The late Mr LAHOUD Nassib was a man of honor, whose hands were not smeared with the blood of innocent and unarmed citizens (may 7th), was cleaner and more honorable than drug smuggling HA deputies. A true lebanese who did not get so low as you and hour fpm freinds to post such crap on the internet.
Go get a shower and clean your brain cause it stinks and make people vomit.

A pro-syrian politician arrested with the political cover of a pro-syrian government... Something smells fishy..;
Anyway, I hope all the pro-syrian, pro-saudi, pro-iranian, pro-israeli, pro-US politicians will be arrested soon for high treason...

And let's not forget he's innocent until proven guilty...

Michel Samaha is a member of the M8 camp and a well known Syrian agent...so who's trying to create chaos in Lebanon? very simple really, SYRIA, IRAN and their Lebanese cronies so they can stay in power and help their foreign masters achieve whatever goals they are after regardless of the suffering of Lebanese economy, security and well being...most M8rs are a bunch of traitors...

I remind you that you have stated on more than one occasion that you want to shoot M14 supporters in the head and dissolve them in acid. You have never apologized or shown remorse for these incendiary statements. Immoral individuals, who have no conscience, should not cry wolf or lecture others on civility and ethics.

FT, ALWAYS misses the point LOL

Bala tahzeeb, bala marba, bala akhle2 and bala sharaf is lecturing others on tahzeeb, marba akhle2 and sharaf? Keep it up...it just reminds us that what comes around goes around. You'll get your turn 7abboub <wink> I have faith in God that the likes of you will get their judgment day just like the rest of us!

it is a bad women language, you can talk as men when you decide, we are proud of the israelean killers (Hezbollah) while we are not proudf of Katarian dogs, israelean dogs, saudian dogs, american dogs and bitches

ya chabeb w sabaya , yaraytkoun bytcheelo kel souwar el zo3ama , madi wa hader , shaheed wa mojrem w btehtamo bi chi taneh yinfa3 hal balad .. el syaseh ghasseel dmagh a3l fadeh. no one is right , no one is wrong , but that is not the point . It is only a divertion to distract people from social pressure & citizens basic needs .
Stick to the streets , follow your rights & needs not a party or a politician and they will fall one by one until a real state of order & services takes over ...

Nope, another well raised typical Lebanese political follower. Unfortunately, it is not just M14 supporters that fit this category.

He's probably innocent, but he deserves jail anyway.

You are all blinded by these politicians. When a problem occurs, M8 blames it on M14, and M14 blames it on M8. In the end, we've had no progress, and yet we sit and bicker about whose fault it was without providing any tangible solutions. The one solutions you do provide involve violence and the marginalization of a segment of the Lebanese population.

Overall, none of these people you all follow have done anything for you. Nothing. We still have no water and electricity. We still have no rule of law. We still have corruption. We still have no plans to get out of our debt. We still can't attract any foreign investment. You each have your flawed reasons for these problems, but you all miss the fundamental problem in our political system: our sectarian attitude leads to incompetent and unaccountable politicians, whose only job is to accuse and not actually do something.

Geagea is a mass murderer and he got out from jail. This guy will do short time and then out again and more popular then ever. Still with facts authorities have on criminal acts politicians have committed and still are committing and still at large, this is very political arrest.

I can't believe how many people are falling over each other to defend this low life brown nose

This comment goes to anyone with a bit of logic in Lebanon... Even the FPMs... Is it too far fetched to beleive this guy isn't plotting or hasnt plotted attempts on key officials? Plus if they say there is video soon enough it will be leaked... And if then we see officials demanding his release... Especially from Aoun...Then we will c who wants a state and who enjoys lawless streets and picking up crumbs. Let's all hope the Vedio is clear enough to implicate our ex MP.

instead of thinking how to avoid the pit falls of sectarianism and destroying each other and your country, I feel sorry I am Lebanese. you are in serious trouble this war will not end in 50 years. those who are laughing at each other misery you will drink from the same cup .instead of sharing thoughts how to work out the situation with each other you try to be little each other so the west will think your civilized and your fighting for democracy. what I see from each and every one is an animal behavior

He should be beheaded, he already confessed, what are they waiting for?

How can we ever have a country if we keep cursing at each other? Most posts here are shameful, be it m8 or m14. For once people, think of Lebanon, the country all our kids will live in and what kind of legacy we keep to them.

If semaha truely betrayed his country then he should be punished accordingly, end of story. This is the logic in any country, grand treason is never taken lightly.

Stop debating your m8 and m14 ideals. It's completely futile when you look at the big picture that is your country, Lebanon for all.

Great post. I'm dealing with a few of these issues as well..
