المعلم في مذكرة إلى منصور: نتمنى أن يضبط الجيش اللبناني الحدود حماية للإستقرار
Read this story in Englishطلبت دمشق من لبنان الخميس أن يضبط الجيش اللبناني الحدود "بما يضمن الأمن والإستقرار" للبنان، وذلك بعد قصف سوري الأربعاء على بلدة عرسال الحدودية,
و اعلن وزير الخارجية والمغتربين في حكومة تصريف الأعمال عدنان منصور الخميس أنه "تلقى بعد ظهر اليوم من نائب رئيس الوزراء وزير الخارجية والمغتربين السوري وليد المعلم، مذكرة تتناول اوضاع الحدود بين البلدين".
وأشار المعلم في مذكرته بحسب منصور "الى الاتفاقيات الامنية الموقعة بينهما وحرص سوريا على امن لبنان، وشدد على اهمية قيام الجيش اللبناني بضبط الحدود بما يضمن الامن والاستقرار".
اضاف منصور: "وتمنى المعلم على السلطات اللبنانية بذل كل الجهود الممكنة لاتخاذ الاجراءات الضرورية التي تعزز السعي المشترك للبلدين والشعبين الشقيقين، في اطار الحرص المتبادل على احترام سيادة واراضي الدولتين".
ويأتي البيان بعدما قصفت طائرة حربية سورية بلدة عرسال صباح الأربعاء ما اضطر الجيش اللبناني إلى إصدار بيان هدد فيه للمرة الأولى بـ"الرد الفوري" على مصادر النيران، فيما هدد رئيس الجمهورية ميشال سليمان برفع شكوى إلى الدول العربية.
ولاقى القصف إدانة دولية خصوصا من الولايات المتحدة الأميركية التي اعتبرت الأمر "استفزازا غير مقبول".
بدورة قال الجيش السوري ليل الأربعاء أن القصف أتى ردا على "إرهابيين فروا إلى عرسال" مجددا "احترام سيادة لبنان".
Big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are.
You well heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are.
And when your hand is on your heart,
You're nearly a good laugh,
Almost a joker,
With your head down in the pig bin,
Saying "Keep on digging."
Pig stain on your fat chin.
What do you hope to find.
When you're down in the pig mine.
You're nearly a laugh,
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry.
This is excactly the kind of people that Roger Waters had in mind when he wrote those lyrics.

This is the first time I agree with Muallem. The Lebanese army should control the border and prevent Hizb terrorists from crossing the borders. I am however with two minds: should the army prevent them from crossing into Syria or from coming back?
Well Banimaroof, it's been extremely interesting. You taught me a lot. I've read something new today. Thank god all Shiites don't do such extreme things although life seems to be worthless to the,. We witnessed it again 3 days ago in front of the Iranian embassy in beer Hassan.
I noticed that men get death for leaving Islam and women only jail time. How unfair....
It's as if you're trying to imply there aren't any repulsive excerpts from Sunni literature or ones that are even more gruesome. You sir, need to learn how to be balanced in your judgement.
Actually @haile.selassie, beg to differ you as your statement is not true. It would be if the army was able to control HA as well as other Sunni fighters from executing violent acts across the border. Given that the army is all but incapable of controlling Hizbollah then the above statement is rendered untrue and unworkable.
A man like Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini outside of Iran (And the Dahieh in Lebanon of course) would go to jail for life for being a child molestor... When will the day come and see people in Iran topple this so-called religious group and create a real country for themselves... It will happen... Look at Syria now.. No one expected ASSad family would lose grip on the country, but it happened...
I believe that there were calls for the UNIFIL's troop mandate to be extended to the Syrian/Lebanese border---guess who refused?
STOP THE WHOLESALE HATE ABOUT THE SHIA!!
Hate Hezbollah as much as you want and more power to you. Hezbollah is Shia BUT NOT ALL THE SHIA.
I'm a Maronite, a life-long LF and one of my oldest friends, MY BEST FRIEND, is a Shia.
Get a grip, people!
By the way, my post above is valid for the Sunnis, of course. I have worked with Sunni colleagues for 20 years. Fine, decent people and many of them are dear friends.
Really Mr. Moallem? So if your "rebels" make it to Beirut, you'd carpet bomb it ha? Thanks for raping our sovereignty. I mean, respecting.
Can we now make peace with Israel (like more than a couple of GCC friends who have regular flights to/from Tel Aviv) and be done with it? At least it's a much more progressive nation than the ones around.
Give it time and it will eventually happen. Peace is the only civilized, sensible solution. But it must be a win/win peace or it won't last.
Israel only wants Shibaa farms out of spite (there's too little irrigable, fertile land and not much water that Israel wants so much). We want Shibaa farms out of spite, just because Israel wants it. But hey! NO!
The road to Palestinian is via Qusayr? In the end, Europe and America's will is going to come true in Syria then Lebanon.
Stop lying to people, anyone who opposes you in a democratic way, you basically eliminate by a car bomb or you claim that he has mental issues and committed suicide (i.e. Ghazi Kan3an and his brother)
Assad's regime attacks Lebanon and then this disgusting tub of lard sends a memo of complaint, next they will send a bill for the ammunition they used. I bet that weasel Mansour helped him write it.
