Franjieh Defends Ghosn, Says the Campaign against him Targets the Army
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Marada leader Suleiman Franjieh defended Defense Minister Fayez Ghosn over his statements on the presence of al-Qaida in Lebanon, saying
President Michel Suleiman and Premier Najib Miqati know that the information is true.
“What he (Ghosn) said is that some terrorists are infiltrating through the Syrian border and the cabinet adopted the decision of the defense minister,” Franjieh said in a press conference.
He said the army has reports about the presence of al-Qaida in the eastern border town of Arsal but slammed critics who are denying such information.
“The attack on the minister is an indirect attack on the military institution to hinder its role,” Franjieh said.
While saying that he backed the Syrian regime, Franjieh stressed that his movement wouldn’t take any step that would come at the expense of Lebanon.
Members of the March 14-led opposition had labeled Ghosn, who is loyal to Franjieh, as the defense minister of Syria, accusing him of waging a campaign of "disinformation."
The Marada leader also accused the Lebanese state of slackness. The army should take its responsibility on the matter, he said.
Franjieh indirectly criticized Miqati for covering up the alleged presence of al-Qaida in Lebanon. Miqati had said the military found no concrete evidence of the presence of the terrorist network or any other organized group in Arsal, a Sunni town.
He is trying to preserve his Sunni sect, the Marada chief said about the premier.
He also slammed Suleiman for seeking to save his reputation by trying to cover-up the issue.

So lemme get this straight so both the President of the Republic and the prime minister are lying and covering for al-Qaeda and the poster child for the Syrian occupation's oppression and marginalization of the Christian for fifteen years, rewarded with riches and ministerial portfolios in every government between 1990 and 2005, is the only honorable truthful one. Slimy Frangieh is still pissed at President Sleiman, then army commander, for not carrying out his orders on March 14 2005 to stop the unarmed demonstrators by any means necessary.

Bunch of looser & shoe licker of the Assad terrorist regime. You and your dad are worse than any terrorist for shooting people in the church in your own town, your house is full of glass as there is no way for you to throw any rocks at others, How about smuggling arms and illegal goods thru Batroun port. You have divided the Country and turned it sectarian such as farms belonging to Marada and another you just call it Sunni Arsal, Be quiet with Ghosn as you made no sense, terrorists infiltrated through the border? if they came from Arsal and entered Syria or the other way around, infiltrated from Syria and returning to it? if you have no clue then the defense minister must resign now. Do something as picking up the phone and send Units to swipe the enter area with Helicopters and Ground forces (i.e. Nahr el Bared). Enough B.S people and kissing up for the Syrian regime like your dad when he went to hide from the authorities in Damascus.

Yet, the army doesn't deploy on the border for this fraud, nor do they deploy where Lebanese are being shot by the Syrian army.
Nobody believes this fool.

The genesis of the Shabbi7a phenomenon owes much to the Assad-Frangiyyeh family business links.
This Ali-Baba cross-border caravan system which has been in action for decades, was inherited by the sons and operates basically at under cover of night when hundreds of Frangiyyeh/Assad unhindered "ants" shuttle contraband stuff(cigarettes, diesel etc) at night between Akkar and Tal-Kalakh-Homs and through these points to all parts of the countries. This multi-million maffioso link is currently hampered and faces imminent death if the faltering "secular" regime in Syria peters out.Its staff, especially the Syrian members are being "alternatively" employed where they can be most useful: Shabbi7a.

to quote habaljameh from 3 days ago on al Qaeda in Lebanon "our glorious resistance and army cleaned the garbage in glorious victories on may 7 and on nahr el bared"
so the if the army and resistance cleaned the garbage in 2007 and 2008 respectively it mean that they are not here anymore and that habaljameh disagrees with Ghosn and Frangieh. But sadly his forgets his own comments due to his constant self head banging that turned his so called brain* into jello, but that's OK we are inclusive on this board and there's always room for jello.
*not that there was anything much there to write home about after all habaljameh is a member of the Nasrallah named coveted bee2at al hadeenat for Zionist spies, but still.

Another advise to all my fellow bloggers, please keep it civil and real.
