الجيش يدعو المواطنين الى عدم الانجرار لحرب عبثية: السلاح سيقابل بالسلاح
Read this story in English
دعت قيادة الجيش "المواطنين الى التنبه لما يحاك من مخططات لاعادة لبنان الى الوراء واستدراجه الى حرب عبثية"، مردفة أن "الجيش مزمع على تنفيذ خطته الامنية في طرابلس مهما كلف ذلك واستعمال السلاح سيقابل بالسلاح".
ووجهت قيادة الجيش بياناً الى اللبنانيين الأربعاء، شددت فيه على أن "قيادة الجيش بقدر ما ستكون حازمة في تدابيرها الامنية، تدعو المواطنين الى التنبه لما يحاك من مخططات لاعادة لبنان الى الوراء واستدراجه الى حرب عبثية، والى الحذر من الاشاعات الكاذبة والتضليل الذي تمارسه بعض الجهات السياسية والدينية، كما تدعوهم الى ان يكون تعبيرهم عن آرائهم السياسية سواء بالنسبة الى مجريات الاحداث في لبنان او سوريا، بالوسائل السلمية الديموقراطية والتي لا تستفز احدا، والى عدم الانجرار وراء مجموعات تريد استخدام العنف وسيلة لتحقيق اهدافها، والتجاوب مع تدابير الجيش لما فيه مصلحتهم ومصلحة لبنان".
وأردفت أن "استعمال السلاح سيقابل بالسلاح ولن ندخر جهدا لتجنيب الابرياء ثمن غايات سياسية وفئوية تريد خراب لبنان".
وأضافت قيادة الجيش الى أنها "سعت في الاشهر الاخيرة الى العمل بقوة وحزم وترو لمنع تحول لبنان ساحة للصراعات الاقليمية وانتقال الاحداث السورية اليه، لكن الايام الاخيرة حملت اصرارا من جانب بعض الفئات على توتير الاوضاع الامنية وخلق الحساسيات بين ابناء الشعب الواحد على خلفية الانقسام السياسي الحاصل في شأن التطورات العسكرية في سوريا".
وأشارت الى أنها "بدأت بتدابير أمنية حاسمة في طرابلس وصيدا وبيروت والبقاع وجبل لبنان"، مردفة أن "عملياتها ستكون رادعة ومتشددة، فالجيش مزمع على تنفيذ خطته الامنية في طرابلس مهما كلف ذلك، ليس على محوري باب التبانة وجبل محسن فقط، انما ايضا في كل بقعة يراد منها ان تكون محور قتال بين ابناء المدينة الواحدة، وهو تدخل في صيدا بقوة ايضا لمنع استثمار تطورات سوريا، وفي بعض احياء جبل لبنان حيث اطلق مسلحون النار ابتهاجا وهو مستمر في ملاحقة الفاعلين الذين ارتكبوا جريمة اغتيال عسكرييه في عرسال".
ونفّذت الوحدات سلسلة عمليات دهم بحثاً عن المسلحين ومخابئ الأسلحة، وتم ضبط مخزنا للاسلحة، فجر الخميس في محلة سوق القمح ـ الحارة البرانية، يحتوي على كميات من العبوات الناسفة ومدافع الهاون المحلية الصنع، والبنادق الحربية والذخائر العائدة لها، بالإضافة إلى أعتدة عسكرية متنوعة.
وفي هذا السياق، أفادت معلومات صحافية أن " الهدوء يسود أماكن وأحياء مدينة طرابلس بعد انتشار الجيش اللبناني وتنفيذه مداهمات وسير دوريات في مختلف أحياء المدينة ومطاردته لمسلحين".

A bit of military rule would help. Since democracy doesn't seem to work properly.

The first responsibility of a country is the protection of its' citizens from harm whether it comes from within or without.
In that regard the Army must be tasked with that mandate, the protection of the citizenry. There can be no higher priority.
To protect the public the Army must be allowed to use all of the resources at its disposal to maintain law and order.
To restrain the Army from their mandate for political gain is nothing less than sedition for it eats at the very core of a nations duty to its people.

mckini, well said but I want to change it a bit. The responsibility for Internal Security is the ISF and the army's first responsibility is to protect the borders. But in our failed status as a nation, the resistancce has overpowered the State and the Army and assumed responsibility for the border (choose our enemy and decide when to start wars) while the resistance delegated to the army the ISF job within its dictate. So to join the rows of successful nations, HA and Qaeda and Palestinian camps must be disarmed and the army must be built up to assume its responsibility of defending the country against any and all enemies (an enemy is anyone that attacks your borders be it Jew or Arab, pro-US or pro Iran.

As you well know the Army is too politicized to be effective as of yet. They will have to prove they can operate without political bias or interference.
And, as you well know the current state of sectarian affairs is too volatile to merge Hezbollah with the Army. Why would Hezbollah defer in this situation?
The confluence of Hezbollah and Lebanese interests can only occur when there is trust on both sides. This can only occur after a long period of peace and reconciliation.
The Syrian situation has only exacerbated differences taken advantage of by outside interests bent on fomenting Salafist violence against Sunni sects and Shia.

The army needs to disarm the Al Qaeda terrorists in Tripoli, as that is the major source of instability in Lebanon. The country must also arrest the Mustaqbal MPs like Kabbara for instigating strife and encouraging FSA-Al Qaeda terrorists to attack the army. Justice must be served. Enough is enough.

And between armed men, which one is a "terrorist" and which one is a "resistance fighter"? Since we've got both and they are all armed to the teeth!

I think the Army should have went to the lebanese side of Qaseer at the borders with Syria in order to defuse the reasons for the involvement of HA in Syria; unfortunately it didn;t do that because HA didn;t allow it to do so. If the Army counts application of the laws in different yardsticks, then we are all doomed as a nation. All of Lebanon should be away from Syrian war. HA acting on its own is a flagrant violation of Lebanon's sovreignty and should have been confronted before it's too late. Lebanon in essense has already entered the civil war mode and from now on the situation is only going to be worse. This comes to underline the fact that HA highjacked lebanon and its institutions.

"The Army urged the Lebanese to be vigilant against any schemes that aim to drag the country into another civil war, or embroil it in the Syria conflict."
There is only one side to this conflict that is trying to destabilize Lebanon ... the Salafists sponsored by Wahhabi Future party members namely Saad Hariri and KSA surrogates ...

That is only in your "not so objective" opinion. Meddling in Syria's affair is destabilizing Lebanon. Taking over the borders away from Government control is destabilizing Lebanon, having Qaeda and Shiite extremists that are armed to the teeth is destabilizing Lebanon. I wish you would drop the yellow flag and raise the Lebanese flag in its place (at least lower the yellow flag so it is below that of Lebanon).

You have not addressed my point:
There is only one side to this conflict that is trying to destabilize Lebanon ... the Salafists sponsored by Wahhabi Future party members namely Saad Hariri and KSA surrogates ...
I can only assume that you have no difference with my argument but prefer to engage a debate on a different subject ...

I like our army. But with their warnings and ultimatums becoming nothing more than propagating sound waves that fade shortly after they are emitted, we ask ourselves: do we really need an army that is taken as seriously as March 14 or Lebanon First Some Twenty-Four Damn Years Late and Still?

The "Army" is only as good as the politicians asses they kiss so they don't have to engage any external enemies...and that includes Hizthrowup. I have lost so much respect for the President and the "Army" over the last few weeks. Your government has no control over a good portion of the country or it's borders. Let's use them to establish orders in cities. As much as I love Lebanon...I wish the worst for it now. The "Army" is a worthless used instrument that might as well be riding bicycles and carrying water pistols. I will keep reading the news because I am looking forward to the civil war and destruction the politicians and "Army" deserve. I feel sorry for those who want a country of their own but won't possibly see it in their lifetime. May peace be with Israel and "Lebanon".
