Geagea Slams Govt. for Not Tackling Security Incidents, Says Dialogue Futile
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea on Sunday described the national dialogue conference that will be held on Monday at the Baabda Palace as a “waste of time,” noting that “dialogue is a trap because the current government is responsible for this bad situation.”
Earlier this week, the LF announced that it will not take part in the talks despite the participation of its allies in the March 14 camp.
“The government should have addressed the problems immediately instead of taking the Lebanese to a dialogue table aimed at wasting time,” Geagea said in an interview on al-Jadeed television on the eve of the national dialogue that is scheduled to be held at Baabda palace under President Michel Suleiman.
“Not taking part in dialogue does not mean we're boycotting dialogue, but rather that we believe there won't be a real dialogue,” Geagea clarified.
“Has Hizbullah changed its viewpoint on the problem the dialogue table is supposed to discuss so that we go to dialogue?” Geagea said of Hizbullah’s controversial arsenal of weapons.
The LF leader stressed that the Syrian regime and Hizbullah are not willing to sit around the dialogue table.
Geagea slammed the government, noting that “people are still in possession of arms in Tripoli and security forces are intervening upon any clash in a manner similar to U.N. peacekeepers, through contacting parties in order to stop the conflict and reach a ceasefire.”
He said the government must meet and “give a direct, clear order to the army to enter Jabal Mohsen and Bab al-Tabbaneh and disarm the citizens there and we will all throw our support behind it.”
“This government is the worst in Lebanon's history and had March 14 been in charge of government, at least the problems of Tripoli and the Lebanese-Syrian border would have been decisively resolved,” Geagea noted.
Answering a question, the LF leader said he did not have concerns regarding a possible return to an “all-out civil war.”
“But I am confident that the country is suffering a state of corrosion,” he cautioned, in reference to the latest security incidents in the country.

@karim_m1 Said the Iranian puppet. Only an independent political personality who is not a patron or beneficiary of foreign payments has the right or standing to question the independence of a member of the political class in Lebanon. Otherwise you are accusing one of conduct which your own giddo engages in and this is hypocracy and not intellectually honest.
Otherwise, what is the difference between taking financial aid from KSA as opposed to taking aid from Iran? What, Shiites are better than Sunni? Better to walk around with your nose up a Shiite thiez than up a Sunnis? Having one's nose up anyone's theiz is not a way to walk upright and free. Do that first, then criticize those who don't.

you silly idiot karim, if that was the case why is the only station you and your shallow M8 supporters hosting him?
go look at what your thuggish low life loser ssnp scum bags did today before attacking other politicians. FYI christians, shiites, and sunnis all were killing each other - lets be honest for once, it's about time you realize that all this geagea hating propaganda was fed to you by the assad regime who your close circles (including your family) support because of interests.
peshawar mountains? what about houla you fool!

Wahabism being spread in Lebanon is a red herring. A false threat that is waved in front of the Lebanese Christians by Hezbollah to keep the FPM on board with Hezbollah.
No one is fooled by this except the Aouni and they are fooled by the biggest fool in Lebanon.

1. @karim_m1 --- I do not understand your systematic ad hominem (attacks against the person instead of what they are saying) against Samir Geagea.
2. I agree with beiruti. The thought of Wahabism in Lebanon is a red herring. That's almost as ridiculous as people believing Lebanon was ever to become an Islamic Shia state-let modeled after Iran (as depicted in Hizballah's original charter and manifesto). While that was a real and stated goal of the founding members of Hizballah even they woke up and realized that was not going to ever happen in Lebanon and have since renounced that part of their mission statement. The Wahabi's, unlike Hizballah have never proclaimed those intentions.
3. That kind of fear mongering has to stop. That's what everyone has been using to scare the minority communities (Christians, Druze, Jews, Armenians, Alawites, etc.) into a frezny all these years.

4. What Geagea is worried out is the disparity in military arms one political party (Hizballah) in Lebanon holds over all other political parties and the domestic problems those arms are causing.
5. Geagea is also proposing we discuss the ways we can successfully transfer the use of those weapons to benefit all of Lebanon.

Speak for yourself beiruti. Not all Sunnis in Lebanon are afraid of Hizballah. Hizballah has never done a thing targeting us as a sect. And yes, there is a Wahabist cause in Lebanon being spread, but it will die out eventually thanks to increased awareness and because most real Sunnis would never let such a cause spread, even if some politicians are dying for it to happen. Most of the Sunnis are going through a rough patch politically in Lebanon, but they are pillars in resistance just as much as the Shia and Christians are, and they will return to their senses. Te7ya Souria.

oh FT! you are lowering yourself revealing your true face: a frustrated and desperate FPMer...not only pdf exist but many sources and testimonies just educate yourself!
but i guess truth hurts and you cannot imagine that your leader sold his ideas to the highest bidder, that the condition of his return to lebanon was not to ally with geagea or future...it creates a bug in your one neurone brain...
yes, we know truth hurts...
oh by the way i never dodge a question unlike you who escape from the site when you are faced with undeniable facts
oh and btw = the arrogant teacher doesn t say that M8 sheep have a pavlovian reaction when they see geagea like he says of the others about the articles of orangina ...but it sums up the whole dictatorial way of thinking of M8 = do as we tell you too, but we do whatever we want!
double M8 standards as usual...!!

Yes!!! an M14 government would have gone into those neighbourhoods just like they decided to go into Nahr el-Bared camp and the Boarder would have been protected!!! God I hate Hizbshitan's Mafia company. FM I hope you see the light one day...

yes just like the leader of those palestinian terrorists came from syria and spent 2 weeks in dahiye before going launch his attacks in nahr el bared...
just like your orange puppet predicted that the day syrian leave lebanon they would send islamists terrorists to spread chaos in lebanon! forgot that too?
you too educate yourself before trying to play the educated one...
truth hurts we know FT

Peace, my brother was in the army during nahr el bared events and most of the nahr el bared terrorists were saudi, kuwaiti, pakistani and other recent immigrant "jihadis". Only a few of the terrorists were palestinian. My brother said there were more lebanese than palestinians in fath el islem. It was the palestinian residents of the camp who hated fath el islem the most and warned about them (even before the conflict fath el islem had with the army) as they were terrorizing them with their extreme version of salafism. And if we take a look at jund el shem then most of its members are lebanese from saida and surrounding areas.
11 June 2012, 01:33

beiruti: being saudi pakistani or kowaiti prevents you from being paid by syria? the islamic jihad from tripoli are allied and trained by hezbollah...ben laden was saudi was he at the orders of saudis with al qaeda? strange their leader came from syria,and spent 2 weeks in dahiye, strange it happened like aoun said it would! many coincidences don t you think?
money has no nationality!

it is called democracy, everyone can have his point of view, but it is a concept you don t know in M8 because you are all obliged to have the same idea as your master, the turbanman hiding in a cave, 3aw 3aw....

nope wrong again little baby boy... just an example: france! the left wing comprises different parties each having an opinion but they agree on the essential... your posts are full of disinformation as usual!

He is comparing M14 to France ;) Lek not so long ago the assembly (if we can call it this way) of M14 in Biel was a pure fiasco. YOu know all the details... You know how they had to hide empty chairs in front of the cameras... you know how pissed the leaders were at each other.
Hayda happens in France?

the head of the army recently stated that 3/4 of those caught in the north were direct employees of the local politicians???? in terms of security look back at when m14 was in charge....gmayell,francois haj,eid,eido,tueni just to name a few...where was their protection which was rightly deserved? gmayell killed in his own town where was his protection,eid head of intelligence killed driving himself,haj commander in military,eido and tueni car bombs where was there protection? who did the government have assigned to their security? why werent their vehicles checked before the got in them? these are fundamental questions that need answers? budget never released under siniora and hariri???

He's right, had march 14 been in charge the problems in Tripoli and the Lebanese-Syrian border would have not happened because march 14 are the ones creating this problem with the Saudi money..

Karim, all you said was like pick bones from the cemetery of the Civil war. Ever since the war ended Gaegae, Harriri, and M14 affiliates have been the peace makers and the M8 affiliates are the ones that yell, threaten, assassin, and shake their fingers in the air when they address the crowd.
Discuss the substance of what Gaegae said... such as this statement:
He said the government must meet and “give a direct, clear order to the army to enter Jabal Mohsen and Bab al-Tabbaneh and disarm the citizens there and we will all throw our support behind it.”
YES hes is supporting the army and wants all the thugs disarmed. This falls into State Building category.

the homicidal maniacs are those m8 thugs as demonstrated yesterday by the beating of a woman in public.
it is clear m8 is a bunch of arrogant thugs as demonstrated by karim, ft, and others like them...
all the comments of karim denote a low life thug, while Ft is a clear nazi wanting to kill or burn everyone who does not agree with his line of thought.
such animals belong in an asylum or in jail fr life.

@Tarek (Guest), I am with you ya kayieh. Mr. karim_m1 is engaging here in very devisive talk. It is not meant to bring Lebanese together, but to divide them and set them against each other. To brand all Lebanese Sunni as Wahabi, which connotes disloyalty to the Lebanese nation is devisive. I am sure that there are some, but the vast majority of Sunni have the spirit of March 14.
There are some Christian, and I am Maronite, who are separatists, but the vast majority of Christians share the spirit of March 14.
I would never say that because of 10,000 Hezbolli, that all 1.4 million Lebanese Shia bow to Iran. Lebanese Shia are as Lebanese as any.
Maronites are a room in the Lebanese house. Lose the house and lose the room. The Lebanese house has many rooms for all of her people. Each confessional group has a duty to the other to preserve the house of Lebanon which keeps us all.
Karim_m1's talk divides the house of Lebanon and a house divided cannot stand.
11 June 2012, 16:49

Beiruti where do you take the fact that vast majority of christians are with M14 spirit? Was this shown by any election in the past? Please just provide numbers and convince me I am a christian and would love to see facts :)
11 June 2012, 17:26
01
@Reformist, and what percentage of Christians, Reformist can you point to who want to create a Christian canton and separate themselves from the rest of the country? This is what I mean by the March 14 spirit, it is a spirit of national unity and living together in the country with all Lebanese regardless of confessional identity.
Since you have the defensive nature of an Aounist, remember that many of the Christians in Martyr Square on March 14, 2005 were Aounist. This was before Aoun made his pact with Hezbollah and led his sheep off in another direction. I would say that most Aounists are not for cantonization as that was an old LF idea and since most Christians vote the FPM ticket, I would conclude that most have the M14 spirit of union.
11 June 2012, 17:53

Oh pleaseeeeeeeeee Beiruti am not on the defensive am asking for facts and please don't go into remembering stuff... or then you need to think Tsunami ;) The answer to you is simple : most christians are behind Aoun. Point final. le baddak tdayyi3 el 3alam. This was the point raised and that's it. bala diversions for once :)
