Geagea Expresses 'Personal Sympathy' with Hariri

W460

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea on Tuesday announced that he “cannot but express” his “personal sympathy” with ex-PM Saad Hariri, after the latter announced his withdrawal from political life.

“Despite several disagreements that marred the relation between us and ex-PM Saad Hariri, especially in the political approaches related to governance, I cannot in these very moments but to express my personal sympathy with Sheikh Saad,” Geagea said in a televised address.

He added: “As we respect and appreciate the friends and brothers in al-Mustaqbal Movement, we insist on coordinating with them and with all the sons of the Sunni community in Lebanon and all the loyals from other sects who believe in the Lebanese cause.”

Geagea noted that such coordination is necessary so that Lebanese statehood, sovereignty and freedom can triumph.

He also called for working for a Lebanon that is “not subordinate to Iran’s will and that is free of corruption” so that “the martyrs of freedom and sovereignty in Lebanon, from Kamal Jumblat to Bashir Gemayel, Rafik Hariri and Mohammed Shatah do not die twice.”

How does it help to gain 2 seats but lose the country. Saad action is directly the result of Jumblatt and Hariri compromises with the devils and criminals occupying Lebanon. This compounded by Gagea, Jemayel and Thuwar were not smart to build on the wins the international community has provided Lebanon; from UN resolutions, to US sanctions and Gulf ultimatum. What Lebanon still need is a Cedar Revolution II on March 13 with one theme: No arms outside army and Positive UN Charter Neutrality. Everything else is a waste of time. Compromises that will leave even one Iranian rocket in Lebanon is a kiss of death to Lebanon, recovery, sovereignty, democracy and justice. The world and diaspora in addition to Saddr Shia are waiting for Cedar Revolution II to liberate Leb from the Basij and criminal Aoun/Bassil judas & Useful Idiots used by Hizb to attack moderate Sunnis.
